Thanks

Thanks............

Thanks is something that most people forget to do until Thanksgiving or Christmas....why is that? I mean how many times a day do you have the opportunity to give thanks and let it slip by?

For instance a homeless man on the street begs for help or food.....do you say: I so thankful that I have a home and food? A holiday comes around and there are so many that can not buy and give to their loved ones....their main goal is food on the table. When you are out shopping on Black Friday.....do you say: I am so thankful that I have the money to shop for my loved ones today?

Most of us do not and that is why when we want to get ahead in life we can not, because we can not see how far we have come in life first! You must be thankful everyday, tomorrow is not promised. We have to look for the positive in every thing to be thankful for........

IE: Thanksgiving day 2009
I sent out Happy Thanksgiving Text and was decorating my Aunts tree talking to my mom on the phone and I get a text that my 20 year old cousin has just been killed in a tragic car accident! So most would say what is there to be thankful about that? Well I am Thankful that my cousin Heather did not suffer and she did not know pain in her accident, Thank you lord!

So you see be Thankful and let people know how thankful you are!!!!!

Fear..............

Fear.............It is fear of criticism that causes many ideas to fail to see the light! Wow that one will really hit ya in the gut huh? I was reading today and came across that.....I stopped and thought you know never truer words have been written.

Fear let's talk about that for a minute. What is fear? There are many different answers you could give for that one, but what sticks in my brain is that fear is a stopper! You know like putting a stopper in a sink and running it full of water. What happens????? The water is held back. Now think about you being the water, how are you going to get out of the sink??? You must remove the stopper or the fear to get past the thing that holds you.

You know I think about all the things in my life that I have accomplished and there was no fear there....I mean simply thought I would do something and I did it. There was a positive motion behind everything that I did until I achieve the goal I was shooting for.

Now thinking about all the things that I failed at.........I can link fear directly to the failure. You know the questions.......What if this doesn't work, what if I build it and the company fails, what if I tell people and they think I am crazy, what if the product doesn't work for someone???? The list goes on and on. But the reasons are all the same, fear crept into the picture.

Doubt is not your friend either as it leads to fear. We must learn to control our minds so that doubt and fear are not options for us. How do we do that? Well we simply vision what we are wanting and never see that vision any other way, the end results will amaze you!
