Value The Program On Offer
I like to post weekly at least, if you would like more let me know but for today I hope this will give a little bit of inspiration that will open your mind to what you can achieve. No doubt, we try to convince ourselves we are getting somewhere in the journey of life, is it in line with your grand plans? My question is, to date did you have to
COMPROMISE ?
Is the current situation inline with the real vision you had for your future?
If it's not quite what you set out to do, did circumstances change your course?
I was guilty of saying to my family "next year will be better" until I was running out of years.
There are many theories justifying situations, the reality is we are responsible for our goals, we can decide if we want to control the level of our circumstance.
So here is a little story about a young boy that watched all the kids in the neighborhood ride around on new shiny bikes, so he went to his mum and asked why he didn't he have one too. He was told he could have one but he would have to pay for it as they where a poor family and could not afford the price. Immediately he decided if that is what he wanted then it was up to him, odd jobs, selling papers, nothing was to difficult for him, even singing at functions, just for that little bit more towards his dream. It took what must have felt like forever but finally the day came and he went out and bought his new bike. THIS is the beginning of the story.
Everyday he rode his bike to school, had the chain and padlock so it wouldn't be stolen. He would be often seen cleaning and polishing it, and if he got caught in the rain he would wipe it down. In the rest of the neighborhoods all the kids bikes where lying around and when it rained and they where told to put their bike away they just stayed out there to rust but not this young boy's bike was tucked away nice and clean and dry. His bike was always shiny and sparkled and all the kids admired it so much. After a couple of months the kids in the neighborhood couldn't understand how this poor kid had such a great looking bike and their bikes where rusty, dented and dull.
The parents that paid for new bikes again where setting their kids up with a value problem, they could afford to replace the rusty dull, dirty, dented bikes but did the kids have RESPECT for what they had? Did they understand the VALUE of what they had be trusted with? How would they grow up and treat people, possessions and relationships?
WE can do the same with opportunities when they are presented to us, how much would we VALUE an extra $2750 to $5000 dollars a month, would it change a few things around the home or give us less stress at the end of the month when there is more month left than there is money and things get drastic so then we reach for the plastic. How much would we RESPECT a true opportunity that profit shares fairly and enhances peoples lives globally.
Then you need to find out more about a business that works while you play.
