A friend send his Monday morning email with a video of mobile phone salesman from England….. I cried. Believe in Yourself…..Have a wonderful day…. Now go….do…be all you can be….Terry McDaniel The Real Estate Evangelist
Thanksgiving tomorrow….. Parades, football, Aunt Sue’s sweet potato pie and the Table… the famous table conversations… All topics are not equal. Some light fires and others just cause that sudden rush of blood to the head… oh no, we’re on the no no topics….Yes, we have the no topic zones.. politics & religion.
Certain topic are off limits. Life is not. Deep down we’re all excited about getting together. This year, I want to practice being in the NOW… At the end of the Day…Life… we are family. Yes, we all have wrinkles, pimples, but our smiles radiate when we see everyone together sharing a meal around the Table.. When we focus on our commonality, everything else becomes secondary….. At the end of the day…life…we need more meals around the Table… Blessing on you and your family….Terry McDaniel
Good Morning… Just a few thoughts before Thanksgiving…..
“Everyone knows you either by what you say you will do, or by what you do.” The doing part separates you from dreamers and the whata, shoulda, coulda group. If we are honest with ourselves, we have all said things to others or to ourselves and never followed through. “Let’s have lunch soon.” “I want to lose 5 lbs.” “I will never do that again.”…..You know the drill….
But no longer do you need to live that way. You made a decision to put a stake in the ground…to cross the line. Each day I live a life filled with dreams and actions. My focus is not on my past, but the NOW … looking towards my future… Everything can be measured in inches… we fight, crawl or walk those inches until we cross the finish line… dusty and dirty, but clean in the soul knowing we did all we could with what we have….. No excuses….. Just actions.
Life is filled those who constantly prepare, recalculate, resubmit, but just plain wait for another “better time”. There is no better time than NOW….”No hill is too steep for a stepper.”….. “just do it” and stop making excuses. Are you finally tired of hearing that internal voice yelling “wait”, “don’t”, “you can’t”? Then SCREAM at the top of your voice… I refuse to be defeated! I didn’t come here to lose! I came here to fulfill my calling. My mission today is to stay on task. All your actions should focus on your life’s “walnuts”. Do what you say you will do. Personal integrity and honesty are always at your core being.
Thanksgiving on Thursday. Focus your thoughts and prayers on BEING Thankful…. Just like the Pilgrims in 1620 who thanked God for their provision, we need to remind ourselves of all God’s gifts. A thankful heart is a powerful weapon against an uncertain future. Choose to be Thankful in the mist of uncertainty. Read out loud with all the gusto you have Psalm 23….
Practice being “thankful” not just for the big things like who you will marry or where you will live, but the small things… Like your next breath of air….We take for granted another breath of air, until it’s too late… Make a decision today to be a HERO in someone’s life…Use your actions and words to build up another human… We all need encouragement…. Happy Thanksgiving…

So you wanted it……. Thought you would like to view Steve Job’s commencement speech… Connecting the dots….
Who moved the Cheese? Stuff can change fast, between 7:00 am and 7:00 pm you can lose or make stuff……It’s not making or losing, it’s knowing when to the pull your chips off the table….Life is a series of choices. Some you regret, some you shout for joy and others you just do not know what to say or do…. If any of you reviewed Steve Job’s Stanford commencement address, you will understand it takes perspective to connect the dots… Long after the stuff is gone and it will all be gone, life moves on… “This too will pass”… Learn the lesson and move on… Don’t make another lap around the mountain…… Learn the lesson and grow… talk with you later…Terry
