THE FOUR FUELS
HOW TO KEEP THE FIRE OF PASSION BURNING
* VISION
One of the “Seven Habits of Highly Success People” by Stephen Covey is, “Begin with the End in Mind”. My question to you is, do you know what the ideal journey looks like? And, yes the word is journey as opposed to destination. I believe it’s about who we become in the process of pursuing a worthy cause that is most important. How many of our God-given talents have we grown and developed along the way? How many individuals around us have we inspired to step into their greatness as well.
This is one area that Joy and I are constantly working on. Defining, Expanding and Clarifying our Vision of what we want our “Journey” to be! Let’s play it in living technicolor in our mind, then step up and live it!!

* UNSHAKABLE FAITH
I’ll let the Good Book and a favorite mentor reflect on this subject. Suffice to say, you’ve got to have unshakable faith in your path to truly have long- lasting success! As the popular song says, “You’ve gotta have Faith”!
Hebrews: Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Mathew: If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
“You’ve got to develop confidence in yourself. The word ‘confidence’ comes from two words which literally mean, ‘trust by heart’. So, you either trust by’ heart or you don’t. Nobody can do it for you. Excerpt from John Kalench’s book, “Being the Best You Can be in MLM”

* EDUCATION AND KNOWLEDGE
“Leaders are Readers”! Most of us have heard something like that, well do we take it to heart? One area of my life that I am totally committed to is to remain the life-time student attitude. To always be open to new ideas, growth and stretching constantly.
There is a reason that the true Leaders plug into the Events, Personal Growth, Conference Calls and Learning Opportunities. They have learned and taken to heart the reality that our Level of Success is directly proportionate to the level of Maturity, Leadership Ability and Communication Skills that we develop. I am committed to a lifetime of learning and growth….join me on this journey and our dreams will become a reality!

* ENVIRONMENT OF SUPPORT
David Wood, master trainer, friend and head of our companies Personal Development Program loves to quote, “Environment is stronger than willpower”. It seems to me that if you accept this statement at any level, you will realize that what we choose to surround and immerse ourselves in every day will greatly determine who we become.
The old saying “We can’t fly with the eagles if we are pecking around in the dirt with the Chickens” surely does apply here, eh!
Every great leader, mentor and inspirational person that I’ve read about or met, consciously surrounds themselves with “positivity” on a daily basis. They surround themselves with people that hold a common vision and values. They read, watch and listen to media that uplifts them. Let’s create an environment that feeds us not depletes us! Remember, we choose our environment….so let’s all chose wisely!
