Given the state of the economy, the approach toward business and careers has become one of caution, where working to keep what you have is the order of the day. But try this for a contrarians approach:
“Working harder and longer hours will not solve your dilemma…You must invest most of your time every week doing what you do best, and let others do what they do best.”
“Remember, your bottom line income is directly linked to the amount of time spent in our areas of brilliance.”

“We don’t realize how much hope drives our lives. When hope is gone, life looks a lot different, a lot darker.”–David L. Heller (1913-1992), a cherished friend and mentor
Somewhere along the path of life we lose our dreams. Life rolls along, we have responsibilities, bills to pay, obligations—we “grow up”. Over time, that all becomes our reality, our place in the universe. We get used to it, accept it, go on, and tell ourselves that all is well. When the economy trips and falls, pulling most of us down at least a little, the abandonment finds its’ greatest justification as we rally to cope with the crisis at hand.
And what of our dreams, our best hopes for our lives? Oh, their there somewhere in the recesses of our minds, we just don’t think about them so much—there just isn’t time.
MONDAY MOTIVATIONAL MOMENT

“Really? I do?”
Absolutely. You were provided with everything you needed on the day you were born.
“Well then, why am I not happier, more successful, focused on a dream, and getting to where I want to be?”
Because you have forgotten what it is like to see possibilities and think of them as real in your life. Remember when you were a child and you dreamed of being a teacher, an astronaut, a star athlete, and an award winning actor–all in one? What happened to those dreams?
