You have to have passion...

"Be who you are and say what you feel, because the people who mind, don't matter and the people that matter, don't mind"...Dr.Seuss

To be successful, in life as in business, you have to feel passionate about it. You have to know where you're going and you have to be committed to that goal. Whether its planning a vacation for the summer or working with your company . Can you have that same energy, that vitality, that feeling of "I can really see the value of this so I can really embrace it"...that kind of attitude? That comes through...people can tell if you're being genuine or not. Nobody wants to follow a liar; you should give them hope, not hype! Let me propose something to you. I will be open and honest with you, if you will be open and honest with me. Sound fair? I think so. This is how I want to live, how I want to manage my time...I want to revel in the moment of being here and doing this, because it's what I want. I'm not sitting around eating bon-bons and being a couch potato; I'm pro-active...I know where I'm going and I'm excited about it.

Words just keep tumbling through my mind, "Live to give, Choose to be happy, and Trust in our Lord, Jesus Christ".

People join people

Gardening is a lot like living...all the people you meet are like little seeds. You help them overcome the obstacles so they can grow in the garden called "life". You care for them, nurture them and give them what they need to grow; then you rejoice with them as they are blooming. Now that's got to make you smile! God gives us all a garden-that's His gift to us and how we tend to it-that's our gift to Him. What a blessing that He loves us that much.
