As I sit here with a moment to gather a few thoughts, my focus is drawn to a message I received this week from a prospect. It had nothing to do with business per se, but it had everything to do with life. As I learned from Val, take your time and build quality relationships with people online. I sent out a generic hello which went on to introduce myself. I explained my belief that we have two responsibilities in life. The first is spirtitual growth and the other is to find our place in this world.
The young lady responded in agreement with what I shared. You may be surprised to know that nothing in the body of her message really stood out. What will stay with me forever is the way she closed her response. Instead of old standards like "yours truly", "sincerely", or "regards"...she left me with these words:
'"More time..."
After the mental whirlwind subsided, I again read those words, and I got it. How often do you ever sit back and wish you had more time to just be in the presence of loved ones who have passed away? How often do you ever wish you had more time to apologize to anyone you have ever offended, especially when you knew you were wrong? How often have you ever wished for more time to spend with your kids, or parents or grandparents, especially when they live hundreds of miles away. How often have you ever wished for more time to get everything done that you ever wanted to get done on any one given day.
It is my intention to touch the lives of many. I do this business with the consciousness of health, and prosperity. I will continue to grow and learn to appreciate evey interaction on this journey, because I know that it is all a part of my process. Candidly, I know that no matter how much of what I may acquire, time is the only thing I am certain to run out of. Maybe this woman somehow sensed what I secretly desire in my life: More time....
Dreams mean work,
