Let
Your Life Speak
1.
Choose meaning
first. Work for meaning and the
wealth will follow. True wealth is having time, money, and relationships. Wealthy
individuals focus on quality of life and peace of mind. They use wealth to live
their purpose, become a blessing to others, and give to causes, charities, and
organizations they believe in, providing others with opportunities to strive
for meaning as well. Use wealth as a tool to help people invest in themselves
and others.
2.
Go for
significance. Move from survival to
success then to significance. Few live a significant life; those that do choose
to sell out in doing something that matters. Choose to step out of the daily grind and live.
3.
Be a producer. Does the work you do produce lasting outcomes? Choose
to be a producer for the rest of your life. What is the positive ripple effect of what you are doing?
4.
Let your life
speak. Most great things in life
require integrity and persistence to be achieved and valued. Show your tail
lights and let your critics eat your dust. Have you noticed how critics and cynics
tend to attend a lot of the same pity parties?
6.
Choose wisely. Always choose the harder right and reject the easier
wrong. Great habits are harder to make and easier to break than bad habits. Prepare ahead of time as you face temptations. How mentally fit are you?
7.
Get counsel. Nothing replaces a simple conversation with a wise
person. How can you put value to the time a mentor gives freely to you? Be grateful and act
upon the wise counsel you receive.
Will you join my cause to fight
mediocrity in America? Pass these nuggets to others.
We make a living by what we get;
we make a life by what we give. Be a giver in a world of takers.
Be blessed and be a
blessing to others.
