Goals are the Winning Edge

Hi,
How was your weekend? Did you have fun? Did you take time out for yourself? I was thinking of you and have a wonderful story to share.

If you play any kind of sports, how do you win? By scoring goals, crossing the finish line, getting in the end zone, etc.

Do you see the enthusiasm and drive that these people have to score? They do whatever it takes to make the play, right? Of course they do. And when they score, they celebrate. Are they worried about what others think? No. They have a job to do. And they work tirelessly to get it done.

Life is the same way. EXACTLY. Set a goal, work tirelessly and score! You'll be celebrating too. And you'll become a better and stronger person because of it!

Now the trick is, what game should I play? Well ask yourself, what are you good at? If you could pick one thing, what would it be? Once you have done that, find others that do that thing...

I did that. I want to become a philanthropist. So I met philanthropists... Started asking questions. "How do you do that?" where can I learn those traits... And sure enough.. that put my on my path. So as I do what they do, I become what they have become, in my own special way.

(philanthropy is not for the money, its for the gifts of love, encouragement and wisdom you can give to empower others)

So find your goal, get your mentor, and start shooting baskets, take a swing, or run around the track... Do what you do and keep doing it. You'll get there. You have EVERYTHING to gain... and something more... Serendipity... the benefits unbeknownst to you that will magically appear before your very eyes because of this effort you make. (That's the real secret... Shhhh... don't tell anyone I told you that!)

Let me know what you have come up with and what I can do to help you achieve it!
