My oldest brother, Bennie, flew in from Texas to hang out with me for a couple of days not long ago. We stayed up almost all night talking about our childhood memories. Everything from him threatening to kick me out of his car for chewing too loud, to the time I got a good-ole-fashioned but whooping by my Dad with a plastic baseball bat for being outside playing without my crutches after I had broke my leg from being hit by a car.
I reminded him of an event that I will never forget, but he swears he doesn’t remember it. It was my freshman year in high school and he was a Senior. I was super-excited because I had just been invited to our high school’s famous Carnation Ball. To be invited was not a really big deal, but to be a freshman invited by one of the prettiest girls in the school was a HUGE deal.
Her name was Michelle and she was an upper-class, Junior at my high school. (I’m actually getting goose-bumps just remembering the excitement I felt knowing that this was a BIG ordeal.) Once I got home that day, I immediately asked my Dad if it was Ok that I attended the Ball and he said, “Of course, but you’ll have to ask your big brother if he will let you ride in the car with him and his date.” Uughhh!!! Needless to say, I did not like this response, but I had to accept it.
I ran to my big Brother, Bennie, and said, “Please, Please, Please let us ride with you to the Ball, I’ll do anything for you.” And he abruptly, without hesitation said, “NO!” He wasted no time popping my little bubble of excitement and showed no remorse whatsoever as he walked away. I pleaded and pleaded with him but he would not relent. It was as if he didn’t care one single bit about my excitement, because it was “His time to shine.” I look back on that event today and it still makes me upset, but the lesson I take away is that “It just wasn’t my time, yet.” The optimum word is “Yet”.
So, I say to you today that some things just have to happen in their own due time. So don’t pout or get mad or sad, just realize that patience is an under-used virtue and let time do it’s job.
I asked my brother that if he had that choice to make again, what would be his response, and he said, “Still NOPE!” It just wasn’t my time.
It’s funny how some moments in our past can be massively significant to us, but mean absolutely nothing to others that were involved.
Stay focused today and don’t be too anxious and realize that there’s nothing more powerful than a dream whose time has come to be fulfilled. Let’s make it GREAT! In due time……
Oh, I eventually went to several Carnation Balls and had a BALL !!! It was my TIME !!!

H ave you ever expected something specific and got something totally different? You know, kind of like when you order a cheeseburger and fries at the drive-thru window and you get home to find that you don’t have any cheese on your burger. Ughhhh!
Well, don’t feel like you’ve been singled out because things like this happens to all of us at one time or another and it’s not just exclusive to the drive-thru window of your local fast-food joint. This unexpected reality can happen in many areas of our lives and yes this includes the area of marriage and relationships.
I distinctly remember the time when my union between me and my bride, Karen, had the new-car smell over 15 years ago. I readily admit I had stars in my eyes along with visions of grandeur living the perfect marriage with the perfect mate. A few things may have been cloudy from the beginning but my expectations were not one of them. Yes, I knew what I wanted and expected and it was simple. I expected my wife to be just like my mama. I can only speculate about what Karen’s expectations were for me but I’m positive she didn’t get fully what she anticipated. More »
The best way to increase your chances of succeeding in any business venture is to find out why so many others fail.
As a networker that was fortunate enough to lead a large built-from-scratch organization/team in a top MLM Company, I was afforded the rare opportunity to witness first hand why the overwhelming majority of people in the industry of network marketing fail. Many may even accomplish quick success only to watch it all gradually and slowly slide away with each passing day. Well, why is this you may ask?
Well, you can call 911 for a medical emergency and concerns, but for network marketing emergencies and concerns, just simply turn to page 311 in my book, “Bread Crumbs to Making it GREAT.” It not only talks about the reasons why most people fail, it also gives you a surefire Six-P Formula to determine how to find the right company and partnership for you if you don’t already have one.
Most Network Marketing Professionals will definitely tell you about the vital importance of continuing to develop yourself personally and honestly I can’t think of any other book that would be more fitting to ride shotgun with you on your journey to becoming better every day in every way. I truly believe that it’s the best personal development juggernaut tool this side of the Mississippi and it can make a HUGE difference in not just your business outcome and results but your team as well.
I’m sooooo confident that you will find this book to be an extremely valuable tool for you that I offer a 60 Day money-back guarantee. Just order the book on my website and if you don’t agree with the value added, just send it back.
What a great way to kick-off your new year. It makes an EXCELLENT gift to for that special someone(s) on your team. Get your copy(ies) today and get on your way to Making it GREAT!!!
