The Good Life
I am only going to here repeat the advice of one of my mentors, Jim Rohn. The greatest value in life is not a bank account. The greatest value in life is not a car. Neither is it a home to live in. The greatest value in life is living a good life. In the midst of all our achieving, building and growing, helping other people be a part of society in the country and the world, being all of this stuff, you’ve got to figure out how to continually live a good life.
Be productive. If you do not produce you will not be happy. Have good friends. The greatest support system in the world is good friends. And you have to work on this. You must not be careless here. Friends are those people who know all about you and still like you. Have spiritual values. Yes, I am a believer. I believe humans, like all creation, were made by God. We are spiritual. As a believer, study, practice and teach. Whatever is valuable to you, study, practice and teach. This builds the foundation that builds the country, that builds the nation, helping us to compete with the nations successfully.
Elton John, “She lived her life like a candle in the wind. Never knowing who to cling to. When the rain set in”. Don’t miss the lyrics, don’t miss the song that nourishes the soul. You can’t describe how brief and fragile life is.
George Harrison, “If not for you the winter I would hold no spring. Couldn’t hear a robin sing. I would not have a clue, if not for you”. Remember the words that describes the experience.
Barbara Strident, “It used to be so natural to talk about forever. ‘Used to be’s’ don’t count any more, they just lie on the floor, till we sweep them away. You don’t sing me any love songs, you don’t bring me any flowers anymore”. Illustrative of all our experiences.
Winston Churchill, “The truth is incontrovertible, malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end there it is”. Use it. Feast on someone else’s comments. You can stay all night and not think of this.
Don’t miss the good times. Even the small things, don’t miss them. It is part of living a good life. If you live well you will earn well. If you live well it will show up in the texture of your voice. If you live well, it will show up in your face. If you live well it will show up in the magnetism of your personality. Live well. Don’t miss the nourishment of all the good things that will help you live a good life.
The inner circle. Take care of them they will take care of you. Inspire them, they will inspire you. Nothing more valuable than the inner circle. Nothing more powerful. Together you have the power to conquer the world.
If when you walk out of the house and you can feel the kiss of your daughter on your face all day long you are powerful man. That nourishment of the inner circle. If a husband walks out of the house and all day long he can feel the imprint of the arms of his wife around his body, he is invincible. He is invincible. Who can touch him?
One person caring for another is the greatest of all virtues. There are many virtues but the greatest is love. One person caring for another. Better to live in a tent by the beach with someone you love than to live in a mansion by yourself. People caring for people. Especially that inner circle. The power is so magnificent. If you draw from it. If you nourish it. Then it nourishes you.
Why network marketing? Because you cannot succeed unless you are willing to help somebody achieve. It will be you upline that you help succeed and it will be you downline that you help achieve. This concept escapes many. There are others that we will learn as we go along. These principles are taught in Success University. And you can find out about us in apbGLOBAL. You can have a free trial to see if it is for you on SU, we the team will be there putting in practice the philosophy of this blog.
