As Americans, we have a rich history of men and women who have passionately pursued and realized their dreams. Thomas Jefferson, who is recognized as the author of the Bill of Rights, eloquently stated, all men were created equal, and have been given the rights to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.
What most people miss in that time honored and powerful message, which has become the foundation of our legacy, is that we have not been granted happiness, we have been given the right to "Pursue Happiness” Let us never forget that happiness is a choice, and a decision we must make daily.
Realizing our dreams requires daily commitment, persistence, passion, and most of all the willingness to say, I REFUSE TO QUIT! Success is available to all those who seek to achieve and realize their dreams. The price we pay for our happiness is in direct proportion to the size of our dream and our dedication to doing what is right. Doing the right thing isn't always convenient, yet it’s always the right thing to do.
One of my biggest dreams for 2007 is to have a profound impact in the lives of those I am fortunate and blessed to be coaching and teaching. In the end, when we are asked to give an account of our lives, I hope that God will look upon me as say, good and faithful servant, in thee, I am well pleased. Who are you striving to serve?
Making a difference in the lives of others will substantially increase our joy, and bring us a new level happiness. I heard it best said. "Each One-Teach One" What a wonderful world we would live in, if we all could embrace the attitude of adding to the joy and happiness of another person.
Make today, your best day ever.
Michael
