I wept because I had no shoes…Part Two

1 Comment

Earlier I wrote a post using the old Persian proverb, “I wept because I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet.” So many times we’re focused on what we don’t have that we can never get around to using the gifts that we do have.

The lady in this video does have feet. In fact, it’s amazing what she does with them.

As my friend, Michael Angier, told his SuccessNet.org subscribers:

“If you ever feel like you can’t do something, watch this video.

If you ever feel sorry for yourself, watch this video.

If you ever start to complain or make excuses for not fulfilling more of your potential, watch this video.”

I Wept Because I Had No Shoes…

2 Comments

You’re probably familiar with the old Persian proverb, “I wept because I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet.” So many times we’re focused on what we don’t have that we can never get around to using the gifts that we do have.

When I run across someone whose using their gifts without regard to their supposed handicap, I try to honor them in some way because they inspire all of us to look inside at the greatness we’re capable of. Dax Crum One-Handed Basketball playerDax Crum is a Division 1 college basketball player in the U.S. Now that in itself is very special because very basketball players ever reach that level of play. But what makes Dax a hero to me is that he plays at that super-competitive level with ONE HAND. And play he does — as this Fox Sports video shows.

There’s been a lot of talk in recent years about the Law of Attraction, and one of the key principles of that law is “whatever you focus on expands.” Focus on your lack and you’ll get more of it. Focus on your abundance and it will expand. It’s obvious that Dax focuses on the strengths that he has — and he makes the most of them. And so can YOU!

It’s five-gold star rated at Amazon and headed to the top of the best seller list. Check it out here….

It’s Not What You Are That Holds You Back

2 Comments

One of my favorite Denis Waitley quotes is “it’s not what you are that holds you back. It’s what you think you’re not.”

I’ve often said that we have an unhealthy preoccupation with such conditions as ADD (attention deficit disorder), ADHD and dyslexia. Too many people believe those conditions are the cause of what’s holding them back.

Now comes a great article in Business Week that is actually titled “Why Dyslexics Make Great Entrepreneurs.”

Is it true? Ask billionaire Richard Branson, Kinko’s founder Paul Orfalea (he has dsylexia AND ADHD), Charles Schwab and other famous entrepreneurs and CEOs.

Ironically, instead of being a hindrance, these conditions are actually “gifts.” Read the full story for some great insight and inspiration…

“You want something. Go get it. Period.”

6 Comments

The quote, “You want something. Go get it. Period.”, is from a phenomenal movie I watched at home the other night that I missed when it was in theatres. Pursuit of Happyness has far too many great messages to detail here, but there was one message that can never be repeated too much: don’t let anybody (and I mean ANYBODY) steal your dream. Actor Will Smith does a great job making that point in this short video excerpt from the movie (which by the way, is based on a true story about Chris Gardner, who went from being homeless to great success because he refused to let others steal his dream).

This movie is in my permanent DVD collection and I can’t wait until my grandchildren are old enough to understand it. You can get a copy at Amazon (and used ones are available as well.
