You're alive. Life is wonderful, it's exciting. There seems to be a tireless energy flowing that keeps you on track and keeps you moving towards following those talents and gifts.

You look at life differently when you're following your calling. There is a love there that motivates you to do best you can, to learn as much as possible about your chosen field of work.

You have a true passion for what you are doing with your life. And you can see how your life fits in to "big picture" of things.....how what you are doing is helping mankind.

Your life doesn't seem "wasted."

Your life has a meaning and a purpose.

Despite difficulties and adversities, you are optimistic, looking to what final goals are, always believing, always knowing that what you are doing is the"right thing."

It comes from within. You just know it's right.

You are uniquely you!

You are not like any other person.

Don't compare yourself to others. They are unique also, they are not you and you are not them. You have unique talents, you have unique gifts.....for you to be anything other than what you are called in life is a step down

Find out what your calling is then do it with all your heart.

No one is less than anyone else, no one is ever a failure, no one is a mistake if you're walking in that calling on your life.

You are somebody special. There's no one else just like you.

Can you imagine how much nicer this world would be if all of us were following that high calling in our lives.

You can do your part.

You're probably not called to be an Albert Einstein or Thomas Edison or a Michael Jordan, or a Benny Hinn, or a Dr. Jane Bicks.

For most of us, calling on our life is much simpler. But whatever that call is, whatever those talents and gifts are in your life......whatever your passion is.....follow that with all your heart and you will be fulfilling that grand and glorious plan that was written for you in stars above.

You can find that call.

You can follow it.

Your life can be rewarding and satisfying.

Your life can be wonderful....an adventure.

When you find and follow your call, you look at life as a gift.

Andy is my first wife's brother. (It helped that I'm still on good terms with my first wife, and that my current wife is too!) There were two things wrong with having Andy as my salesman: 1) he had no computer background or experience (he couldn't even spell "PC"!) and 2), he lived in Phoenix, about 400 miles away. Talk about a round peg in a square hole! But… he had a great attitude; that "Whatever-it-takes-I-can-do-it-the-customer-is-always-right -and-I'll-always-treat-them-well" attitude that you just can't easily teach somebody. I figured that I could teach him about computers and my software and that attitude would be part of package.

I was right. He had to learn about sales, about mainframe computers and how programming organizations worked, he had to learn how to use a PC and how to use software that ran on it. He learned it all and did well… how? ATTITUDE. He was one of those people that you just can't help but like, and even if someone wasn't interested in our product they were always happy to hear from him. These are skills that are much harder to teach than computer and selling skills, so I was happy to invest in him.

It's time for an attitude check: yours and your employees'. Is it pushing you forward or holding you back? Think about it; it could mean difference between success and failure.
