Your Life... In a Sentence
by
Richard Fenton &
Andrea Waltz
In a recent article in SUCCESS MAGAZINE, John Maxwell suggested that
all lives are eventually summarized in a single sentence. So,
here are two questions to consider:
1) What would that sentence be for you if today was the end of the
road? And...
2) Would you be happy with it?
We'll be honest with you, we wouldn't be happy with ours, not by a
long shot! So here's the exercise we did (an exercise YOU
should
do, too!) We wrote two sentences that summarized our lives
(as a team/couple),
one for what the sentence would be today, and a second for what we'd
LIKE it to be. The Sentence People Would Use to Summarize Our Lives
TODAY: "Wow, Rich & Andrea had so many great ideas
and plans - too bad
they didn't do most of them." OUCH!
Here's what we'd LIKE for people to say... "It's amazing how
much
great training and motivational material Rich & Andrea produced
that helped so many -
where did they ever find the time?"
Of course, it's never really about "finding" the time, is it? No, it's
about "using" the time we've got. So, what will people say to
summarize YOUR life? And how are you going to use the time you've got
between now and then to make sure they do?

Quotables from
the Go for No! Movie |
"If I told you
that there's a million dollars if you talk to all these people, one of
them is going to tell you, 'Yes,' you wouldn't care how many people you
had to hear 'No' from, because that million dollars is so much stronger
than them all telling you, 'No.' So, I think a lot of us, we live
without understanding, or we sell, whatever you're doing, we don't
really understand our bottom line and true 'why.' When we don't live in
that 'why' or sell with that deeper purpose, 'No' becomes much more
difficult, because we don't have something stronger than that that
pushes us beyond it." - Mark Heerema

Recommend... |
Our recommendation this
week is the book
"EXECUTE or BE EXECUTED" by Sam Geist (Addington & Wentworth,
2008). Face it, great ideas and good intentions are not enough (as
we've made the case in this week's feature article above!) So, if
procrastination is one of your enemies, this book will definitely help!

Yes, it was that
cartoonist - perhaps the
most famous of all time - Charles M. Schulz, creator of Peanuts.
Glad he persisted?
