Accomplish Something Big

It's important to recognize that many people working together can do things which individuals working alone cannot do.” -Alan Cranston

In a game that some termed 'David and Goliath' and others believed would lack excitement; the American sport of football held its Super Bowl last night. The New England Patriots, 3-time Super Bowl Champions and record of 18-0 coming into this game faced the New York Giants, a 12-6 record and a roller coaster type season in this season ending championship game.

It was a very good game with the NY Giants coming out 17-14 point winners. It was also a game of many people coming together doing what seemed the impossible. This type of 'winning in life' can occur in your life as well. When people are working together, they can create an atmosphere in which possibility can become a reality.

There are many stories of people working towards a common goal accomplishing great things. Take the story of a single mom in Dacula, GA. Rhythm Bell's life was enrichened by a group of volunteers from the C3 Center in Lawrenceville, GA; a program designed to help single mothers.

These folks transformed her home, doing on a smaller scale what the 'big' shows like Extreme Home Makeover do so well for other deserving people. There will be more information during a conference called Illuminate in March, but to look at the home before and after shows what a group of people, working together with a common goal can achieve.

Try volunteering for something, serve to help others once in a while and see what can be done. Great things are out there just waiting for you and others to accomplish.
