Your Heart's Sunrise

Did you catch that sunrise this morning?

Wow, God never ceases to amaze me. He has given us another day.

But what will we do with this precious gift?

Will we greet this day with love in our hearts?
Will we love our neighbors as ourselves?
Will we use our God given talents to bless others, our community, the world?
Will we release bitterness and allow forgiveness to flow?
Will we believe God for that miracle or answer to our prayer?
Will we give God thanks in ALL Things as we go through our day?
Will we forget about ourselves and help someone else solve their problem?
Will we release "doubt" & "fear" and take hold of a "sound mind" & "courage"?
Will we deepen our relationship with God, pastors, spouse, children, relatives, friends and colleagues?

 In other words will we die out to self? Will we decrease so He can increase?

If you desire to do these things, change every "Will we" to "I will" and repeat them silently or outloud as often as you need to until you believe it, feel it and expect it.

God Loves You. Have a Great Day and Future.

Are You Passionate About Your Goals?


Here is an affirmation to help keep you on track...

I am passionate about my goals.

My passion drives me forward to live the life of my dreams. I know what I want in life and set goals to get me there. I know that each goal I achieve brings me in union with what I desire. I feel truly invigorated with each success!

Meeting a goal, no matter how big or small, strengthens my confidence and self-esteem. I enjoy these feelings and strive to recieve them as often as possible.

Setting and achieving goals is a never-ending circle of positivity that fuels my passion even more. My passion encourages me to persevere over obstacles and it is replenished and increased with every goal I complete.

My passion enables my success. I use tools to ignite and refuel my passion on a daily basis, even when I face challenges that try to smother it.

My tools include affirmations to transform negative thoughts into positive ones, mediataion to relax and rejuvenate my energy, prayer to connect my spirit with the Highest Power Source - Jesus, and notes and pictures to inspire and remind me of my goals.

Today, I choose to feel inspired by my passion and let the excitement propel me forward to achieve my goals, regardless of any challenges that may arise.

Action Questions: Don't just read them, answer them and then put action behind them. DO Them!
Do Something. Do Anything, but don't just sit there hoping your goals will be achieved...See That They Are!

1. Am I passionate about my goals?

How badly do you want change?
What are you willing to give up to achieve your goals?
What is the alternative if you do not reach your goals and live your dreams?

Remember the movie "It's a Wonderful Life" with Jame Stweart where he got a chance to see what the world would be like if he had never been born. Now I want you to imagine what your Life will be like if you do not go after your dreams and reach your goals. What are you going to do with the Time God has given you here on earth?

2. Where can I find additional inspiration?

I would start with the BIBLE!

Then there are quotes to inspire and encourage.

Other like-minded, success striving, abundant living people. Careful here though- stay clear of negative people who will pull you down to where they are and where they intend to stay - mediocrity. You are above average. You are an Over-Comer. You are an Abundant Life Living Person. Why would you take advice from your broke and dead-end job friends and family.

3. What task can I achieve today to fuel my passion and get me back on track toward my goals?

Make up your mind you WILL Succeed! It first starts with a decision. Then you must believe it is going to happen. EXPECT IT!

Write down your goals and review them often.

Get training and/or coaching from those who are where you want to be.

Pray! and if you Pray, don't doubt or worry. If you are going to worry-no need to pray because you are showing that you do not really believe "That With God ALL Things Are Possible"

Now get out there, get out of the nest of confort and ease, spead your Wings and Soar to the Land of Possiblity!!!

Marc Ostrofsky Dishes Out One Money Making Secret After Another

Mark Victor Hansen and Robert G. Allen had guest Marc Ostrofsky on the conference call last night. This had to be the most informative, most eye-opening conference call I have ever been on.

This guy, Marc, opened the flood gates on how to make money quickly and easily with little or none to start with. People are hurting in this economy and tonight they dished out some immediates answers.

There is no reason for anyone to participate in the recession!

Marc talked about the importance of "MIND SHARE" for anyone doing business on the internet.

Marc Ostrofsky has a new book coming out call, "Get Rich CLICK!" which you will want to buy and buy a copy for everyone you know. It should be the only birthday or Christmas present you give away for years to come. It won't be out for 6 months to a year--but watch for it!

Cash In A Flash by Mark Victor Hansen and Robert Allen is the book you need to read NOW...TODAY! If you have not read this book you are missing out on a wealth of aha moments. This book is really two books in one. One side gives you practical knowledge, enlightened mindset and awareness, and savvy advice, while the other side takes you on a engaging story that will inspire you.


This book takes you beyond what you think you can think or imagine and burst wide open a whole new way of Thinking and Living and Giving and Winning!

Read "Cash In A Flash" today, and tap into the conference calls that Bob and Mark are doing every Thursday.


I am growing by leaps and bounds and what Mark and Bob have shared is a big part of the reason why.

Walt Disney (1901–1966)

  • Had a nervous breakdown.

  • Won his first of 22 Academy Awards on a cartoon that he'd completed in black & white but then redid in color from scratch (Flowers and Trees - 1932)

The Cookie Theif

There's a nice poem by Valerie Cox circulating on the Internet about a woman who bought some cookies and a book at an airport and sat down to read and nibble while waiting for her plane. She soon noticed a man sitting next to her, who casually took a cookie from the bag.


Although shocked and seething, the woman remained silent as the man, without the slightest sign of shame or gratitude, quietly helped himself, matching her cookie for cookie.


When there was one cookie left, she watched in amazement as he picked it up, smiled at her as if he were being gracious, and broke it in half. He ate one half and gave her the other. Congratulating herself for maintaining her cool, she said nothing to this rude cookie thief, astonished at the nerve of some people.


Later, when she was settling into her seat on the plane, she rummaged through her purse and discovered the bag of cookies she'd purchased, still unopened. The moral message is contained in the poem's closing stanza:


"If mine are here," she moaned with despair,


"Then the others were his, and he tried to share."


Too late to apologize, she realized with grief,


That she was the rude one, the ingrate, the thief.




Being sure is not the same as being right. Certainty without humility can lead to self-righteousness that distorts our view and understanding of the world and of people.




Humility doesn't require us to be equivocal or doubtful about our deepest convictions. What it asks is that we hold and advocate our beliefs without dismissing the possibility that others may be right instead.




This is Michael Josephson reminding you that character counts.
