Into spotlight reserved for those who survived years and years of training for purpose of receiving honor they deserve.

SAID IN ANOTHER WAY...

Right Vision + Strong Conviction + Determination = Focused, Exceptional Living

And of course that spells "influence" in great big capital letters.

Think about it:

The power of living an exceptional life is power of influence.

A WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT

May I encourage you to hold on to positive, well thought through "visions" you have entertained over years?

And to pay attention to feelings inside of you that say, "This must be done"?

Maybe timing is not right... for now. Maybe it shouldn't happen... just yet.

Or possibly it should! It could be time for determination to take stand and cause you to make first step towards accomplishment your vision.

Or second. Or third.

I don't know -- but chances are you do.

Yours for a day filled with beautiful moments in time,

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER...

The terrible price of disgrace.

Let thought of disgrace prevent you from foolish words and actions.

Disgrace rarely -- if ever -- travels alone.

A mother A father A family A business And even a nation...

Can feel imprint of just one person's disgraceful words, attitudes and actions.

Remember this -->

Today's pleasure often disguises tomorrow's disgrace.

Or you could say it this way: disgrace of tomorrow often comes wrapped in a deceptively beautiful package with a tag on it that reads "the pleasure of moment."

TWO ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS

ONE: Gather right kind of wealth.

Something to think about: what real value is there in gaining wealth without respect? Why not seek to gain both?

Gain wealth *and* respect.

*Wealth alone doesn't earn respect of wives, husbands, or children!

*Wealth alone doesn't earn respect of team members, students or work associates.

Remember: Success without respect is not success.

TWO: Plan to leave an "inheritance of great value" to those you love.

All of us would love to leave a solid financial inheritance to those we love.

But there's more: we can strive to leave them...

*The heritage of a good name. *A strong spiritual heritage. *A strong emotional heritage.

NOW ABOUT YOUR HEART...

What does your heart say? What is *most* important treasure you desire to leave with others?

"My most important treasure I want to leave with others is... ______________________________________________________

______________________________________________________

"I am working hard at leaving that treasure by...
