Act of Kindness

I continue to get inspired by Chicken Soup for the Soul books every night when I go to bed.  Here is perfect one for this moment in time that I want to share with you………

No Small Act of Kindness was taken from Chicken Soup for the Womans Soul by Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, Jennifer Read Hawthorne and Marci Shimoff

The day was Thankful Thursday, our "designated day" of service.  It’s a weekly tradition that my two little girls and I began years ago.  Thursday has become our day to go out in the world and make a positive contribution.  On this particular Thursday, we had no idea exactly what we were going to do, but we knew that something would present itself.

Driving along a busy Houston road, praying for guidance in our quest to fulfill our weekly Act of Kindness, the noon hour appropriately triggered hunger pangs in my two little ones.  They wasted no time in letting me know, chanting, "McDonald’s, McDonald’s, McDonald’s" as we drove along.  I relented and began searching earnestly for the nearest McDonald’s.  Suddenly I realized that almost every intersection I passed through was occupied by a panhandler.  And then it hit me!  If my two little ones were hungry, then all these panhandlers must be hungry, too.  Perfect!  Our Act of Kindness had presented itself.  We were going to buy lunch for the panhandlers.

After finding a McDonald’s and ordering two Happy Meals for my girls, I ordered an additional 15 lunches and we set out to deliver them.  It was exhilarating.  We would pull alongside a panhandler, make a contribution, and tell him or her that we hoped things got better.  Then we’d say, "Oh, by the way….. here’s lunch."  And then we would varoom off to the next intersecton.

How Big Is Your Golden Goose?

Philly Says:

Golden Goose, have you gone mad Philly?  What are you talking about?

I have just returned from T Harv Eckers – Millionaire Mind Intensive in New York and my oh my, what an inspirational seminar! 

If you have seen Tony Robbins and you think he is great at motivating you then you need to see Harv and Rob, this seminar takes you to a completely different level.

I have been sworn to secrecy and am unable to reveal all that happens at this seminar but I will tell you about the Golden Goose!

So what is this Golden Goose all about?
The Golden Goose resembles your Financial Freedom Fund.  The value of your assets and the amount of money you passively earn make up your Financial Freedom Fund.

You need to continually grow your Golden Goose to get this fund as BIG as possible.  The larger the Golden Goose, the more money making opportunities will come your way and the quicker you will be financially free.

These investment / money making opportunities are otherwise known as your golden eggs!!

Watch this space for the Money Management System that T Harv Ecker teaches to help you grow your Golden Goose.

Let those negatives rest in peace!!

Philly Here!

Rest in Peace: The I Can’t Funeral

Donna’s fourth grade classroom looked like many others I had seen in the past.  Students sat in five rows of six desks. The teacher’s desk was in the front and faced the students.  The bulletin board featured student work.  In most respects it appeared to be typically traditional elementary classroom.  Yet something seemed different that day I entered it for the first time.  There seemed to be an undercurrent of excitement.

My job was to make classroom visitations and encourage implementation.  I took an empty seat in the back of the room and watched.  All the students were working on a task, filling a sheet of notepaper with thoughts and ideas.  The ten year old student closest to me was filling her page with “I Cant’s”.

“I can’t kick the soccer ball past second base.”
“I can’t do long division with more than three numerals.”
“I can’t get Debbie to like me.”

Her page was half full and she showed no signs of letting up.  She worked on with determination and persistence.  I walked down the row glancing at students’ papers.  Everyone was writing sentences, describing things they couldn’t do.

“I can’t do ten push ups.”
“I can’t hit one over the left field fence.”
“I can’t eat only one cookie.”

By this time, the activity engaged my curiosity, so I decided to check with the teacher to see what was going on.  As I approached her, I noticed that she too was busy writing.  I felt it best not to interrupt.
