I stand here before you, not as a prophet, but as a humble servant of you, the people. — Nelson Mandela, Feb. 11, 1990

Yes, the first, in a long series of Best-Selling Books is well underway.

Being organized doesn’t always mean things happen fast, it just means that things get done.

Are you still organizing any of your “childhood dreams”?

Come on, failure is not an option.

No, Seriously!

You Work Too Hard Or Not Hard Enough?
You Work Too Hard Or Not Hard Enough?

Yesterday you heard an antagonistic claim that being organized and not being organized require the same effort.

They do. Whether you agree or disagree, riddle me this:

A life of reaction is a life of slavery, intellectually and spiritually. One must fight for a life of action, not reaction. – Rita Mae Brown

Physical labor and emotional labor both make you tired.

The difference is that one produces results. The other, worry.

No, seriously.

From Beginner To Expert

An Expert At French Fries, And, Consistency
An Expert At French Fries, And, Consistency

You are an expert at something. You can do something as well or better than most others. Right? Seriously, it’s a unique human proposition that everyone has some special “gift”.

Remember when you where first discovering your gift? Maybe, you weren’t even aware of it until you started to, over time, get increasing better at it.

I remember starting to blog back in November 2008. And then on April 1, 2009, began to write more blog posts, and committed to writing five-a-day, every day, for 100 days. You know the story. I never stopped.

Website visits, website hits, and page views began to slowly rise. There was a time when 100 daily visits was a milestone. Then 10,000 monthly visits. The 20,000, 30,000 and recently 40,000.

The 50,000 monthly visits milestone will not happen.

The jump from the 40’s bypassed the 50’s. And it appears the 60’s won’t last long either. Why? Because….

“What we hope ever to do with ease we may learn first to do with diligence.” – Samuel Johnson

Samuel Johnson, a British essayist, wrote the first English language dictionary. He married a widow 20 years his senior and lived in poverty before achieving success with his essays when he was in his forties. Johnson died in 1784.

Dream Big. Get Started. Never Stop.

Use your “gift” to it’s highest potential. I know you can do it, and so do you!
