What are you waiting for?
Just some things that I have learned in life.
Be generous with yourself. Being generous with yourself is not just a financial endevour. If walking up teh street, you give a 1, 5 or even 10 dollar bill to the homeless man sitting on the corner, that is generous. But to give of yoru self, that takes true generosity. And you don't have to stretch yourself to do it either. If you love to sew, save what you sew and donate it at the end of teh year to a local home, childerns hospital, church. If you love sports, become a little league coach and instill your passion for the game. If you love art, take time to spend it with children who want to paint sketch and create. There was man who was wealthy. He worked long tireless hours wanting the best for his family and teh best oppertunities for his children. To replace his often having to work during holidays and special events, he lavished his family with all teh latest fasion, electronics, and luxuries. One year durring his daughters 8th birthday he was running late and just wrote a quick note saying "I am sorry I missed your birthday. I love you and see you when I get home." Years later , walking by his daughters room he poked his head in. All around the room was years of gifts, toys, gadgets and clothes crowding walls and shelves from floor to ceiling. But on her dresser was that note he left he when she was 8, in a frame still pristein. He walked in and asked "why do you have this silly little note in a frame" looking up she replied "Because it is the only thing I have that is truely from you." There is no material thing in this world that can replace you.
Failure is just as important as success. Ther si greater nowlege in failing that there ever is in succeding. Most important, you learn your limits and you learn yourself. If you fail and you allow that to define you, then you know that the blame lies soley on your shoulders and you have to carry that burden always. But if you fail, abd you learn from it, take what you learn and apply that again, people rarely fail twice at the same thing. If you open a restaurant and it fails. you can say well I am just not cut out for this and drown yourself in being someon elses minion. But if you open a restaurant and it fails, you look at yourself andf say "Ok what in my game plan went wrong? Location? Menu? service? quality?" suddenly you are back into your zone thinking of creartive ways to change and reinvest. In every aspect of life you can either win or fail. it is what you gain from those pitfalls that define your life, not what you have accomplished.
