"Isn't This Exciting?"

What can we do about This?



And How can we best benefit from these great New things?

“Stop Winging And get On With What You Must DO NOW!”

Did YOU Know?

Did you know that it is difficult to get what you can’t give and that Giving comes first?

I have never ever met a truly wealth person that hasn't been a giver first!

When they give from the start [and that means where you are now] there appears a lot more room for the "REAL RICHES" to enter into your life!

It’s called flow.... A river must have flow or it becomes stagnant.

We as humans also achieve our Perfect flow when we Give..

LOVE - when we give it we are open to receive it
Money - when we give it we are ready to receive more
Time - when we give of our time we are investing our most precious resource as it's the only thing we cant get more of! So invest it wisely...

In you exercise program
in your relationships
in your children
in your self
in doing what you are passionate about
in dreaming yourself into a better life
in the services of others..
in continuous learning
in teaching others

What was it that you really wanted to do?

So if you are waiting for riches to come to you ... take riches to someone else first!

If you are waiting to be loved ... Love some one first!

If you are waiting for some one to help you ... Help someone else first!

Cheers....

People Are Like Teabags
By: Author Unknown

Sometimes people come into your life and you know right
away that they were meant to be there. They serve some sort
of purpose, teach you a lesson, or help you figure out who
you are or who you want to become.

You never know who these people may be: a roommate,
neighbor, professor, friend, lover. Even a complete
stranger who, when you lock eyes with them, you know in
that very moment that they will affect your life in some
profound way.

Sometimes things happen to you that at the time may seem
horrible, painful, and unfair. But in reflection you
realize that without overcoming those obstacles, you would
have never realized your potential, strength, will power,
or heart.

Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance
or by means of good or bad luck. Illness, injury, love,
lost moments of true greatness, and sheer stupidity all
occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small
tests, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat
road to nowhere... safe and comfortable, but dull and
utterly pointless.

The people you meet who affect your life, and the
successes and downfalls you experience, create who you are.
Even the bad experiences can be learned from. Those lessons
are the hardest and, probably, the most important ones.

"People are like tea bags - you have to put them in hot
water before you know how strong they are."

"What Use Is The Right Answer To The Wrong Question?'

The Right Question
By: Joseph B. Walker

There were a thousand reasons not to stop. I was running
late for a Very Important... well, whatever it was that I
was running late for that day. The freeway was busy -- I
might have caused an accident or something. Surely the
Highway Patrol would be along soon, and it's their job to
help stranded motorists, isn't it? And I had on my navy blue
suit, with a light blue shirt and a silk tie. Not exactly
car-fixing clothes, you know?

Let's see -- that makes 1,004 reasons not to stop. And
here's 1,005: I am the world's worst auto mechanic. Public
enemy No. 1 on the AAA's Ten Most Wanted list. Mr.
WhatsaWrench.

The first time I tried to change my car's oil myself I did
fine -- until I forgot to put the new oil in. The boys down
at the garage had a big laugh over that one. The next time,
I remembered to put in the new oil -- only I put it in the
transmission. That triggered a letter from the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Chryslers. They suggested I get
a horse.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not feeling sorry for myself. God
has given me other talents to use for the benefit of
mankind. But I'm not sure how much it would have helped that
lady whom was stranded by the side of the freeway if I would
have pulled over and belched on cue. So I didn't pull over.
I drove on by, just like hundreds of other drivers on the
freeway that day. And I felt guilty about it. So I turned
off at the next exit and made my way back to see if I could
at least give her a lift or something. But by the time I got
back to her, an Hispanic gentleman had pulled in behind her,
and was tinkering away at her car's engine like he knew what
he was doing.

"Is there anything I can do to help?" I asked.

"No, thank you," the lady replied. "This nice man says he
can fix it." At that moment, a voice from under the hood
shouted: "OK, try it now!" The woman reached for the key and
turned it. The engine started beautifully.

"It was your serpentine belt," the man explained, wiping his
hands on his pants. "It slipped off. It's pretty worn. You
want to take that to a mechanic, get a new one put on."

The woman tried to give the freeway Samaritan some money,
but he declined and waved as she drove off. It wasn't until
we started walking toward our cars that I noticed he had
five more reasons not to stop than I did; his family was
sitting in the station wagon, waiting patiently. "Do you
stop and help people like this often?" I asked.

He shrugged. "Somebody has to," he said. "What's she going
to do if nobody helps?" And for him, that was reason enough.

In his final sermon, given the night before his
assassination, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. took as his text
the Biblical parable of the Good Samaritan. In the story, a
man is attacked by thieves and left by the roadside. Several
travelers happen upon him, but they pass by. Eventually,
someone does stop to help, although it is the one person who
might have had a reason not to. He is a Samaritan and the
victim is a Jew. Those folks didn't get along any better
back then than they do now. According to Dr. King, those who
passed by the injured man were asking themselves the wrong
question: "If I help this man, what will happen to me?"

The Good Samaritan stopped to help because he asked the
right question: "If I don't help this man, what will happen
to him?"

"Would You Pass The Test Or Would You?"

The Emperor's Seed
By: Author Unknown

Once there was an emperor in the Far East who was growing
old and knew it was coming time to choose his successor.
Instead of choosing one of his assistants, or one of his own
children, he decided to do something different.

He called all the young people in the kingdom together one
day. He said, "It has come time for me to step down and to
choose the next emperor. I have decided to choose one of
you." The kids were shocked! But the emperor continued. "I
am going to give each one of you a seed today. One seed. It
is a very special seed. I want you to go home, plant the
seed, water it and come back here one year from today with
what you have grown from this one seed. I will then judge
the plants that you bring to me, and the one I choose will
be the next emperor of the kingdom!"

There was one boy named Ling who was there that day and he,
like the others, received a seed. He went home and excitedly
told his mother the whole story. She helped him get a pot
and some planting soil, and he planted the seed and watered
it carefully. Every day he would water it and watch to see
if it had grown.

After about three weeks, some of the other youths began to
talk about their seeds and the plants that were beginning to
grow. Ling kept going home and checking his seed, but
nothing ever grew. Three weeks, four weeks, five weeks went
by. Still nothing.

By now others were talking about their plants but Ling
didn't have a plant, and he felt like a failure. Six months
went by, still nothing in Ling's pot. He just knew he had
killed his seed. Everyone else had trees and tall plants,
but he had nothing. Ling didn't say anything to his friends,
however. He just kept waiting for his seed to grow.

A year finally went by and all the youths of the kingdom
brought their plants to the emperor for inspection. Ling
told his mother that he wasn't going to take an empty pot.
But she encouraged him to go, and to take his pot, and to be
honest about what happened. Ling felt sick to his stomach,
but he knew his mother was right. He took his empty pot to
the palace.

When Ling arrived, he was amazed at the variety of plants
grown by all the other youths. They were beautiful, in all
shapes and sizes. Ling put his empty pot on the floor and
many of the other kinds laughed at him. A few felt sorry for
him and just said, "Hey nice try."

When the emperor arrived, he surveyed the room and greeted
the young people. Ling just tried to hide in the back. "My,
what great plants, trees and flowers you have grown," said
the emperor. "Today, one of you will be appointed the next
emperor!"

All of a sudden, the emperor spotted Ling at the back of the
room with his empty pot. He ordered his guards to bring him
to the front. Ling was terrified. "The emperor knows I'm a
failure! Maybe he will have me killed!"

When Ling got to the front, the Emperor asked his name.
"My name is Ling," he replied. All the kids were laughing
and making fun of him. The emperor asked everyone to quiet
down. He looked at Ling, and then announced to the crowd,
"Behold your new emperor! His name is Ling!" Ling couldn't
believe it. Ling couldn't even grow his seed. How could he
be the new emperor?

Then the emperor said, "One year ago today, I gave everyone
here a seed. I told you to take the seed, plant it, water
it, and bring it back to me today. But I gave you all boiled
seeds which would not grow. All of you, except Ling, have
brought me trees and plants and flowers. When you found that
the seed would not grown, you substituted another seed for
the one I gave you. Ling was the only one with the courage
and honesty to bring me a pot with my seed in it. Therefore,
he is the one who will be the new emperor!"
