Victory

You are the man who used to boast
That you'd achieve the uttermost,
Some day.

You merely wished a show,
To demonstrate how much you know
And prove the distance you can go.....

Another year we've just passed through.
What new ideas came to you?
How many big things did you do?

Time.....left twelve fresh months in your care
How many of them did you share
With opportunity and dare
Again where you so often missed?

We do not find you on the list of Makers Good.
Explain, the fact!
Ah no, 'twas not the chance you lacked!
As usual-you failed to act!

Herbert Kauffman

My Creed by Dean Alfange

Read this earlier and it got me thinking about todays society. What if we all decided to apply this in our lives.

I do not choose to be a common man or woman. It is my right to be uncommon-if I can.

I seek opportunity-not security. I do not wish to be a kept citizen, humbled and dulled by having the state look after me.

I want to take the calculated risk-to dream and build-to fail and succeed.

I refuse to barter incentive for a dole. I prefer the challenges of life to be guaranteed existence-the thrill of fulfillment to the calm state of Utopia.

I will not trade freedom for beneficence-nor my dignity for a handout. I will never cower before any master-nor bend to any threat.

It is my heritage to stand erect, proud and unafraid-to think and act for myself-enjoy the benefits of my creations and to face the world boldly, and say-This I have done.

Making a difference one living room at a time

These last couple of weeks have been some of the most amazing in my life. I just experienced one of the best weekends with Team ever! So excited to see the pre-launch of our new industry, L.I.F.E., finally be announced. Living Intentionally For Excellence will no doubt grow into one of the greatest personal development companies in the world.

The Lord has opened my eyes in sooooooooooooo many ways as I continue to work with people. Building a business you would never really expect the impact you will have in the lives of others as you are sitting at their kitchen table scratching out some principles you have learned. I've recently had the great opportunity to start working and watching Bill grow in ways I never imagined. In the past month through the association with Team and listening to an awesome system he has re-committed his life to Christ, spending more time with his wife and kids, kicked a few bad habits and even cancelled cable! Now I know most who read this won't understand cable and I won't even begin to explain all those details but one amazing decision that has changed his life in 2 short weeks. What a victory it is for me sitting front row watching him grow into the man he was called to be.

Another awesome victory has been watching the Lord speak to my sister, and she's starting to realize it. Chris Brady served the Lord in a big way with his sermon on Sunday and many answered prayers came to life that day. I can't even begin to describe the feeling in my heart when I heard her say she was going to start seeking more information in the Faith category of her 8F's.

Not sure where exactly I was going with the blog but my heart is just so filled with joy as I continue to go out into different living rooms every night to see where I can make a difference in a new strangers life. I honestly don't know how more people don't do what I do. This is the most amazing feeling in the world. I'm looking forward to another great week and as always I'm looking forward to the growth of all these individuals as they begin their journey to a better L.I.F.E.
