From:

NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE TO A WILLING HEART

You can do anything in this world you want to do,
but you must want to do it badly enough.
You really can have everything you want, if you go after it.
You have to want it.

The first ingredient of success is desire.
Do you know what you want?
Your desire is the planting of your seed.

Your desire for success must be so strong within you
that it's the very breath of your life.
It must be your first thought when you wake in the morning,
and your last thought when you go to bed at night.

You can be whatever you make up your mind to be.
What's in your mind is all that counts.

Thank you so much. If possible, could you create one for our executive director, Liz Larmirand? I've shared these with her in the past and she's been inspired by them. She's been a phenomenal leader, employee, mother, and friend.

Thanks so much for your consideration.

A milestone and progress let us give toast ,

 Tune "You Raise Me Up"

From:
When Do You Celebrate?

What in your life is worth celebrating? Don’t wait for big success to throw a party, celebrate your little successes everyday. Forget Hallmark - you do not need an occasion or a date on the calendar to feel good about yourself or to applaud the efforts of others. Leaders take care of those they lead.
Celebrating and enjoying success are part of being a leader. Yet when you are driving towards a goal, basking in the joy of accomplishing small milestones is often forgotten. Celebrate a success today! Relax and be proud for at least five minutes!

Keep leading from the front!

From the article:

Success is Predictable

It's so easy to fall into the trap of thinking successful businesses and world-class people started out that way. So easy to be seduced into thinking that those who achieve the extras got there through lucky breaks and superior talents.
Not true. Every dream starts off small.

Sam Walton started with a single store (Wal-Mart is now the world's largest company). U2 started with its first gig. Picasso started with his first painting. And then each and
every day they took small, focused steps into the direction of the mountaintop.

Success is no accident. Instead, it's a choice - and one you can make today. By reaching higher. By being bolder and by investing in yourself. Because as you learn more, you can be more.

HIDDEN GEMS

M ake your life count, make a contribution!
S eek to live, learn, love, leave a legacy!


"You Raise Me Up"

=============================
From the article:

Hidden Gems
Experiences We Don’t Understand

Sometimes we have an experience that we don’t understand, but if we look deeply, or wait long enough, a reason for that experience will usually reveal itself. All the events in our lives lead to other events, and all that we have manifested in this present moment is the result of past events and experiences. We cannot easily tease apart the many threads that have been woven together to create our current reality. Experiences that don’t make sense, as well as any that we regret, are just as responsible for the good things in our lives as the experiences we do understand or label as “good.”

This is especially important to remember at times when we feel directionless or unsure of what to do. It is often at times like these that we take a job or move to a place without really knowing if it’s the right thing to do. We may ultimately end up leaving the job or the place, but often during that time we will have met someone who becomes an important friend, or we may have an experience that changes us in a profound way. When all the pieces of our life don’t quite make sense, we can remember that there may be some hidden gem of a reason that we are where we are having the experiences we are having.

It’s fun to look back on past experiences with an eye to uncovering those gems—the dreadful temporary job in a bland office building that introduced you to the love of your life; the roommate you couldn’t tolerate who gave you a book that changed your life; the time spent living in a city you didn’t like that led you into a deeper relationship with yourself. Remembering these past experiences can restore our faith in the present. Life is full of buried treasures. Chances are, you’re sitting on some right now.

F ree your mind and "believe it's possible"
*U nderstand and do just "Believe in yourself"
N ow "Become an inverse Paranoid"
D o "unleash the power of Goal-setting"
A small chunk at a time to "chunk it down" -

T o "Act a''s if" nothing's impossible
*A ll talk is nothing unless you "
