In order to be confident, you gotta be YOU.
If you are copying someone else, you won’t be genuine.
And people will notice that.
Why would you want to imitate another person??
Is it because you’re not creative?
Or, could it be that you aren’t confident enough to do it your way?
I really believe you will have the perseverance necessary to succeed if you inject YOU into it!
If not today, when?
Most people only compare an optimist with a pessimist.
I believe there is a third category, however, that must be considered.
A realist is a person who accepts a situation and is prepared to deal with it w/o a predisposition.
Deals with facts in a straightforward, objective way knowing there may be positive or negative outcomes.
A realist stays connected to reality.
I think it can be helpful in your decision-making if you take into account .your natural tendency.
So True!
Which is more painful?
Regret not having tried or regret trying and failing?
That’s the dilemma for those who have an idea they want to pursue!
America was built and continues to grow with ideas pursued.
There’s always an emotional price to be paid by the risk taker and loved ones.
No pursuit that’s worthwhile is ever easy!
The risk taker is not looking for easy.
He/she is looking for results!

The Parable of the wedding guest. Luke 14:7-14
The guests are advised to take the lowest seat so the host will call them to a higher, more honorable place.
The lesson is that humility leads to exultation while self-promotion leads to public shame.
In modern times, the male ego is the culprit.
Be careful of how people perceive you.
Perception is more powerful than fact!
It’s important!
People do business with people they like.
Sending a “Thank You” greeting card shows that you truly appreciate the customer.
Most businesses don’t put value on the personal touch.
Competition is fierce!
You must do something your competitors are unwilling to do!
If not today, when?
Harry Enten, CNN’s chief data analyst, thinks tailgating may be the answer to lonliness in America.
As the title of today’s blog tells us, 50% of tailgaters don’t go to the game.
So, why are they there?
They like to see old friends and meet new ones.
30% of Americans feel lonely weekly.
When you think about it, tailgating is the perfect venue in which to make new friends.
It’s a casual setting.
You can begin talking to someone without the need for a formal introduction.
Because there is food and drink involved, you can break bread with a stranger.
Try it. You’ll like it!
If not today, when?
It seems that most people want more.
Is it because you’re jealous of what someone else has?

(Helen Keller)
Helen Keller lost her sight and hearing when she was 19 months old.
I think most people with those disabilities would give up.
Not her, she lived to the age of 88.
She graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree from Radcliffe College (part of Harvard.)
She learned finger spelling into the palm of her hand.
Helen was a tireless advocate for women’s suffrage, workers’ rights and disability rights.
She was a co-founder of The American Civil Liberties Union. (ACLU)
She authored several books including her autobiography, “The Story Of My Life.”
She traveled globally, bringing inspiration to millions.
SO, is there anything you can’t accomplish?
He was our brother Joe, one of five boys and a girl.
He was much loved by everyone in our large family.
One of his greatest attributes was that he took an interest in each of us by listening.
He was a champion listener!
He was a very successful businessman, but his passion was family.
He was also a patriot who volunteered and joined the Navy.
Although he had loving care from his wife, daughter and son, his last days were difficult.
It was typical of Joe to face his illness without complaint.
His joy and love of life is sorely missed.
Just moments before his death, he looked up and smiled.
We all still wonder who was greeting him on the other side?
