“Do what you hate to do, so you can enjoy what you love.”

The tasks we hate most are the very ones we put off doing. Get in the habit of doing what you dread. Delayed gratification is painful, yet it is the only way to experience the joy of accomplishment.  Creating a comfort zone in procrastination is not comfortable at all.  Dip your feet in the unknown — there lies comfort.

“When you take yourself serious — people will follow.”

The hardest reality one must face is facing him/herself. We rarely take our dreams, hopes and aspirations seriously because most times we discount our innate ability to bring forth the possiblity of “it” really happening. Take the lazy heart of fear out the equation,  take yourself serious and bloom.

Storms are meant to toss your ship to and fro. Weather the rolling waves — wait and watch the rainbow shine over the horizon.  This too shall pass.

I took a break and it was all that I needed to realize something phenomenal — life is simply difficult — yet a joy when fully experienced.

Fear is the art of being lazy.

Loving your neighbor is hard. Loving yourself is even harder.

Nearly 99% of the total world population is trapped in their childhoods — including me.

Change is worse than death because it forces you to grow.

From time to time it is important to simply rest, relax and recuperate. For the next three days, I will be taking some time off from everything to seek the next step for my life and my writing (ministry). While I am away, I will be thinking of all of you and how I can give more through service. I will return soon…and I will be looking forward to all of your comments and feedback.

Partners in Friendship,

“If you have enough love, you’ll be the happiest and most powerful person in the world.” Dr. Emmet Fox

Cravings drive your mind to action. If you want a chocolate cup cake filled with sweet vanilla icing — you are going to get it. You don’t have the money for it. Yet, the urge will tell you to break open the piggy bank, because it’s worth it. You will imagine how the rich chocolate mixed with the sweet icing is going to taste as it slides down your throat. The urge pushed your mind to manifest your thoughts, which brought them into reality.

How powerful would it be for you to create an urge that will bring you out of depression, hopelessness and sorrow. Today, create an urge to do what you believe is impossible. Lose weight. Fire your boss. Read a hard book. Join a network. Allow your urges to take you beyond your hopes and dreams. The sky is the limit.

“The race to be a leader is crowded, but the field is wide open for those willing to be servants.” Rick Warren

“Pay attention to who you love. Pay attention to your customer.  Understand the value of who you are.” Social Media Guru Chris Brogan

Often we get so consumed in everyday life that we forget the most important task of all — to love and be loved. Love is the answer to your problems.

• If you want a successful business — fall in love with your profession.
• If you want a successful marriage –  fall in love with your spouse.
• If you want more customers/friends/partners –  love your neighbor has yourself.

QUESTIONS

• How do you treat yourself?
• How do you treat other people?
• What would you change about yourself?
• How would you reach out others (co-workers, friends, family, customers, your boss, etc)?

“Love means giving up– yielding my preferences, comfort, goals, security, money, energy, or time for the benefit of someone else. ” Rick Warren The Purpose Driven Life.

Do you remember what it felt like the last time you were in love? Every single moment of the day your thoughts were consumed with that person/project/thing. Your entire being wanted to explore, nurture, protect and engage in the concept of that person/project/thing. Be that person again. Incorporate love in everything you do.

Spend today getting back to loving yourself and the people around you. Work is important, but relationship is the only thing that matters. Reach out and love today.
