Money Back Guarantee


"If you want a guarantee, buy a toaster." -Clint Eastwood

Have you seen the television commercials that advertise the most amazing products ever known to mankind? And for a limited time only, they are the most amazing thing you will ever want to have. There are products that can clean the dirtiest rug and make it look new. There are others that can make your teeth look like sparkling white porcelain for only ten dollars.

Still other products will endow bald men a full set of youthful hair, give you an amazing sex life and promise you the body of a well-toned 20-year old. For the kitchen you can purchase gadgets to make you as good as any famous chef. In the garage, there are car additives to turn your 1988 Mazda into a gleaming new BMW. And what about all of those doctor-approved items that will make your baby boy or girl smart?

Some of these products are great, others are ridiculous in their claims while others are just over-hyped. Many of these commercials come with the guarantee of 100% satisfaction or they will give you your money back.

Wouldn't it be great if I could give you that same guarantee that you will have a great life by staying positive?

I enjoyed watching that spokesperson Billy Mays. He was a high energy and very convincing sales pitch man for many products. The belief he had selling all of those products seemed very real. He was very successful at it and every pitch came with that same 100% money-back guarantee. I just wish I could make that same "100% Money Back Guarantee".

Life and all it throws at us simply does not provide any such guarantee. We have only one life to live and live it the best way we can. You go through it trying to enjoy each day of it. Living positively will set you up for opportunity and greatness that may or may not ever arrive. But the journey is the greatness of your life. That is the part you should enjoy and those things that do come to you will be even more enjoyable.

Dream big things and act upon those dreams. Go in search of the dream and let life unfold in front of you. The only guarantee that I can give you is that life will reveal itself to you in many different (and unexpected) ways. Take each of them and enjoy.

Stay inspired my friends.
