Gee, I'm glad I did

Two people. Their names are "Gee, I'm glad I did" and "Darn, I wish I had". Both are working 9 - 5 jobs. Both have a family, a home, a yard, a garden, a vehicle to look after. Both hear about an opportunity, a chance to make some additional money from home. Both are living pay check to pay check. "Gee, I'm glad I did" decides to go for it. After all, an additional $500 or $1000 a month would make a huge difference in their lifestyle. "Darn, I wish I had" decides it won't work, it would interfere with the TV shows he likes to watch after work, he isn't ready to give up 8 to 10 hours a week to change his life.
Life goes on. The years pass, this life is almost over and "Gee, I'm glad I did" and "Darn, I wish I had" meet at a local coffee shop to catch up on each other's lives. "Gee" and "Darn" (their on a first name basis by now) reminisce about life, where they've been, what they've done. And you guessed it. "Darn, I wish I had" hears about how that network marketing opportunity he passed up because it wouldn't work provided a life for "Gee, I'm glad I did" that most people only dream about.
Did "Gee" retire early? Yes. Did "Gee" travel the world? Yes. Did "Gee" build his dream home? Yes. Did "Gee" support his community, any charity he chose to? Yes. "Darn, I wish I had" was aptly named. His regret was palatable.
You have the choice. Is your name "Gee, I'm glad I did" or "Darn, I wish I had"? It is never too late to change your name, or your life, or to learn to dream. It is a decision and you can make it today.
YOU will be glad you did.

Take the pulse of your desire

She had desire. She was unstoppable. I watched her for the first 10 or 15 minutes in amazement. Where was this coming from? She didn't normally have the personality to approach people she didn't know. She didn't normally have the confidence to go beyond the first 'no'. I had to ask her "What's up?"

The scenario was a typical community fundraising opportunity. I took two shifts. One, the first, was with another parent. We did OK. Had some fun. Got to know each other a little better. Mission accomplished. We'd volunteered. Our conscious was clear.

The next shift I was teamed up with a staff member from the daycare we were raising funds for. The proceeds were for a new playground. She was the one who had the desire. The desire for a new playground for the children in her charge. Her desire forced her out (way out) of her comfort zone. She wanted it that badly.

I couldn't keep up to her. No matter what I did she talked to more people. Had more people buying. Raised more funds than I'm betting any of the parents did. Why? Because she had the desire.

Is your desire strong? Take your pulse. You know what you want but how badly do you want it? As badly as that staff member wanted a new playground? Have you moved out of your comfort zone?

She did. And quess what? She was successful.

End of story.

To your success,
