Many times when you attempt a HOME BUSINESS , the biggest obstacle can sometimes be ones self! You just have to get out of your own way ! Ask yourself not WHY ? But HOW you can accomplish what needs to be done.
During my years I have learned that success for me has come in the form of three principles that I follow.
BELIEF : Believe in what you are doing – follow your heart – ones belief is a potent force when you apply it to your convictions. Stay the course – remember – in order to succeed – take care of all the small things and the larger problem will most likely take care of itself.
FAITH : Listen – observe – and then have the FAITH to act. Plan – ask questions – and then formulate a plan of action – list your goals and have the FAITH to act on them. If you have FAITH in yourself and those around you – you are on your way !
POSITIVITY : I was asked once to give my impression on the HALF FULL vs. HALF EMPTY GLASS . To me , it is neither HALF FULL or HALF EMPTY ! There are two ingredients that are involved here. AIR & LIQUID. Without one or the other , you can not survive as far as I know! The Glass has both – both essential to you and your team ! Positivity is something I wake up with every day. I always look at whatever is positive in the situation and act on it !
In a home based business – and with a TEAM – what comes out of you goes into them ! LEAD FOR SUCCSS !
I hope this little bit goes a long way in helping you overcome the fear of leadership – look at your team and then look in the mirror. Your team will be reflected back to you !
It was rather cold – 46 degrees – but thank goodness no wind!
We went in the dark – at 6:15 AM. and was surprised at all the cars and activity.
This was but one of several services up and down the beach.
ELCA – which we are a member of – along with the Episcopal church –
Came together to have this service.
I would guess by the start – some 4 to 5 hundred souls gathered on the beach-
many standing – others brought their own chairs
At last – in more than a year – we attended a live service.
Glory to God in the highest – and peace to his people on earth.
All our married lives – we have attended church – me – I converted from Catholic to Lutheran
which was how Sherry was raised.
I serve a risen Savior , He’s in the world today – I know that He is living , whatever others say ; I see his hand of mercy , I hear his voice of cheer, And just the time I need Him He’s always near.
They came and came – down the ramp or steps – or from up the beach and down the beach – walking- walking – walking – silently – some hand in hand – others close by – Easter Sunrise Service.
Give thanks to the LORD , for he is good; “His mercy endures for ever.”
They were mostly silent – a few murmurs here and there – ushers directing people – passing out communion cups and wafers – a few announcements – still cold – but at least there was no wind. The sound of the surf – the seagulls – the stillness of the early morning hour – the sand cold – bundled up – ear muffs and scarf – waiting – waiting – waiting.
Our Father , who art in heaven , hallowed be thy name , thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
