"To Those who would Teach"

Hey;

Summer is about over and we all will concentrate a bit more
on that which we believe we are put on earth to accomplish.

As many of you know I have a desire (as you do) to awake the
masses or at least one person to come to the knowledge that
they have been put on this earth to serve others. What that
vehicle is and how I will accomplish this has changed in my mind
over the past three years a number of times. I've written a book,
created web sites, invested in real estate and continue to seek
guidance; there's still THE missing piece.

When leaving an event and in the months post event many feel
as though they are not getting to their true place as quick as
they believe others have, mainly because we were gently pushed
to make goals or promises to others and ourselves to arrive at
fulfillment in a short specific time period. I'm not downplaying
the necessity of Written Goals, although in the heat of a
positive gathering of like minded individuals we many times are
more attentive to the immediate surroundings the we are attentive
to the small voice inside us which knows better. We also tend to
compete with others (if only in our minds)who seemingly have
gotten it together in the time they professed they would.

Many receiving this have attained Masters and Doctorate degrees.
As an example after finishing High School CW decides he wanted
to have an MBA in business. CW attends an undergraduate college for
the first four years. In CW's third year he notices that a few of his
classmates from his freshman class are graduating with a BA in only
30 mos into his four years. Does the fact that others are moving
towards his goal at a quicker pace than CW mean that CW will not
attain his goal; of course not. Is there any doubt in CW's mind,
30 mos in, he will attain the MBA because others have gotten theirs
in a shorter time period, no. CW knows if he continues towards his
goal at his pace the MBA will be his in time. Our desires and dreams
we have today are no different. The vast majority of the mentors
and teachers we listen too were years and years in the process
before "over-night" success came.

At some point in our lives we have come to the conclusion there is
more to our lives than a nice home, great car, turquoise waters
vacations. We were put here for "THEM". If you can get to your
place in 6 mos., 1 year, 2 years or 15 years it's only important
to you and your maker. Be thoughtful and determined to be what
you were born to be, not what someone else expects you to be
only because you put both feet in your mouth at a seminar or
similar event. Today is a new day, reset the time line.

Your time will be here when least expected when you continue to
move in the direction towards your goals and dreams. Course
correction constantly, Do Not Park.

"My brethren, let not many of you become teachers, knowing that
we shall receive a stricter judgment." James 3:1

I love you guys and miss the physical surrounding of Like Minded
men and women. There are no coincidences and it's no coincidence
your in my life. As Les says; "Coincidence is God's way of staying
anonymous."

One of our, my, weaknesses is the inability to ask our peers for help.
Most of us have gone to great lengths to network and collect
business cards. Somewhere in your home or office is a treasure
of individuals you have already met who could catapult you to your
goals if we would only ask.

A good friend of mine once said;

"You have not because you ask not".


With great love;

CW
