Attitude In Words
"Attitude In Words" the book is coming soon. I've written my first book and I am getting ready to publish. I'm excited about it being out there and more excited knowing that it may help millions of people out there improve their life.
Getting this book written was one of those 'first steps' that I have spoken about many times before. There are dreams that each of us envision, but it take us acting upon those visions at some point. What happens is that the vision becomes a reality - the finality of believing, acting and then realizing it.
First on the list of people that encouraged me is my wife Laura. She kept pushing me to make it a reality. She made sure that I understood this book would have a huge impact upon lots of people. Secondly are all of my kids, each one that has this touch of greatness and goodness in their lives. By watching them, I've learned so much from them; even at my age it is still possible to learn.
There are others that make a difference such as Dean Baker, a friend that gave me the final "poke in the back" to get it done. By the way, he makes some very good Beef Jerky that maybe one day you will be able to purchase. Dean and Jill Sweetman along with many others associated with them are a constant inspiration to me.
You need to find those people that can do the same thing in your life. Surround your self with inspriing and positive people. They will lift you during bad times, they will sustain you during the good times and your life will be enrichened.
So look forward to my first book, I'm excited and hope you will find it an inspiration as well.

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.

Never Judge, Learn More
There are those that go about life in such an un-assuming manner. They lead ordinary lives and at first glance, do not leave an immediate impression of any greatness. It is commonly referred to as 'judging a book by its cover'.
In life we miss so much by doing just that, judging someone by first looks. When we fail to look beyond the surface, we do not find that which lay within. The greatness of talent or the fullness of knowledge that such a person could impart to you goes unseen.
Take the story of Paul Potts from Britain, a person lacking self confidence and working in a cell phone store. But during all of this, many people were unaware of his singing talents until he auditioned for a TV program in Britain.
The following two videos will give you an excellent idea of what so many were missing by 'first look'.
And as you guessed it, the winner;
