I love this clip from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr’s “I Have a Dream” speech.
He had a vision that changed our country for the better. He saw that vision
in his mind and worked every day to make that dream come true.
Every great accomplishment has TWO creations…
and the first is always in the mind.
Accomplish something great, we need to “see” it accomplished
in our mind’s vision before we can see it mainifest our reality.
This clip inspires me to dream bigger… how about you?
Benjamin Franklin once said “the only sure things in life are death and taxes”. Fortunately we’ve learned a few things since the 18th century. Zig Ziglar summarized another sure thing very succinctly:
……….“If you help enough other people get what THEY want,
…………you’ll get everything YOU want.”
…………………………………………….. — ZIG ZIGLAR
Zig had it exactly right. If you want to guarantee your success in 2011, then figure out how to help a lot of other folks get what they want. In business school they boil that down to “find a need and fill it”.
How many people in the world today do you think are praying right now for a way to earn more money…
to survive, to thrive, to give? To provide the basics for themselves and their family? To have a better life? To relieve the stress? To save their business? To make a difference for others?
If we take our eyes off of ourselves and start looking for ways to help others, we’ll be fine.
This short trailer from the movie “Pay It Forward” will touch your heart. It’s a great reminder that each
of us can make a big difference regardless of our current circumstances by applying the principle of LEVERAGE.
Will you join me in paying it forward in 2011?
Check out this high tech version of the Christmas Story… it’s wonderful.
