Cultivating Possibilities

I recently came across a quote that I absolutely love, so I'd like to share it with you.

"The richest soil, if uncultivated, produces the rankest weeds."

The Greek philosopher Plutarch said this and it "talked" to me. What an incredibly powerful statement. There is no amount of skill, knowledge, potential, money or connections that can help you succeed if you don't want to be successful.

Next time you're in the bookstore, look at all the titles on achieving success, goal-setting and positive thinking. Almost any book on achieving success is going to talk about having that desire and motivation to get you started.

Now, motivation by itself is good, but maybe not enough. You need to have a vision, a goal and the motivation to start becoming successful. Here's another quote I found from Jean la Fontaine, a French essayist that sums this all up:

"Man is made so that whenever anything fires his soul, impossibilities vanish."

Here's to your success and to breaking away from negative thinking and to reaching your very best!

If You Had 30 Days to Live ..

Just after Easter the Saddleback Church started a church-wide study from the book, One Month to Live, written by Kerry and Chris Shook. This is an incredibly powerful study and will definitely have you thinking about how you live and think because nothing will get you to refocus your priorities then learning you only have 30 days left!

If you are looking for some answers and want to know how to super-charge how you live each and every day NOW, I highly suggest getting this book, the study guide and the DVD.

You can also visit the Saddleback Church website and view / listen to the messages for last week and the coming three weeks about the material. On the 4th week the authors of the book will be with us to wrap things up.

Really - this is phenomenal! I dare ya to buy the book and change your life!
