What life is made of...

“Sometimes I would rather that people take away years from my life than take away a moment.” -- Pearle Bailey

Moments are what life is made of. Can you remember the sight of your first child? Can you remember the “I do” at your wedding? Can you remember the first time you understood your father? Can you remember receiving your first paycheck?

Create more moments in your life and the life of your family.

If your company or association has seminars, banquets or conventions, I would love to talk with you about how I can be of help to you and your people. conway@dreamhigh.com

What we repeatedly do...

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then is not an act but a habit.” – Aristotle

In our church there were two ladies coming down the stairs. One lady was yelling at her kids who were in roughed up clothes and running in all directions. The other lady and her 2 kids were coming down the stairs, but they were dressed neatly, talking quietly. What is the difference, I wondered to myself? It was just the expectation. Just the habit…

I agree with Aristotle… we are what we do, excellence, being on time, paying our bills is little more than just a habit.

Is there a habit you would like to change?

We know what we are, but know not what we may be. - Shakespeare

Become like the people you hang around

Mark Twain once said…
“Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. The really great people make you feel that you, too, are great.”

It is a fact – you become like the people you hang around. If you hang around people who belittle others you yourself will fall into that habit. Hanging around such people will also do harm to your self-esteem.

The really great people will always build you up. And this is the trait you and I can cultivate. It is also very good for us to hang around great people who build us up.

Take a clear inventory. Who among your friends builds you up and who tears you down?
What kind of friend are you?

Take care of your friends and they will take care of you.

A cynic is a man who knows the price of everything, and the value of nothing. -Oscar Wilde

Knowing what you’re doing

“Success is knowing what you’re doing, loving what you’re doing, and believing what you’re doing.” - Napoleon Hill

This seems like an easy test to see if you are where you’re supposed to be.

1. Do you know what you’re supposed to do with your job, hobbies, etc.
2. Do you love what you are doing?
3. Do you believe that what you are doing is helping people and making a difference?
