Do You Want To Make It?(Moving Mountains Mondays™ #4)
Do you want to make it?
I guess the real question is WILL you make it this year? WILL you decide that you can accomplish the things you think about?
Or…will you decide that this year is just a re-run of last year?
What’s the worst that could happen? SCRATCH THAT!!!!!
What’s the BEST thing that WILL happen? You decide, you commit, you take action and then what? You keep going. You either succeed or you don’t hit your target. But what happens if you don’t hit your target? Well…then you learn from your experience, figure out what you did wrong and don’t do it again! ;]
I know you want to make it this year. But are you being held accountable? I hope you aren’t that person who has a ton of resolutions you “think” will work out, but you’re too afraid to tell anyone about it.
But….even if you are that person it’s ok, because you can always change!

Don’t Go Alone
Did You Leave The Headlights On Again?
My old car and I had a love hate relationship. It usually loved me in the summer, and hated me in the wintertime. It ran smoothly in the summer, and decided when it wanted to start in the winter. When it decided not to work I got asked the same question, “Did you leave the headlights on again?”
But, on this one rare occasion my Uncle had car trouble. I was visiting my grandmother, and my uncle came in and said, “Avi do you have any jumper-cables?”
When he asked me for his help I learned something extremely valuable. You can’t give yourself a jump-start.
Whether I had jumper cables or I called AAA for their help, my uncle still wouldn’t be able to give himself a jump-start. He had to ask for help.
Honestly, each time I ever heard jump-start it sounded like something you could do for yourself. “I can jump-start my career. Even Sega’s Sonic The Hedgehog could give himself a jump-start right?” No! In the hit video game Sonic The Hedgehog Sonic can travel crouched down in a ball at top speed, but he needed to push against a mechanical lever that jolted in the opposite direction first. My point…We can only jump-start something by asking for help.
Help? No way…My pride won’t allow it! Too bad…suck it up and just ask! Remember that reaching out to someone for help is asking for a hand-up not a handout.
Action Steps:
- Ask for feedback on a product or project.
- Ask someone with experience for advice.
- Ask a leader for strategy tips and help with a game plan.
- Ask your family for acceptance in having your own opinion.
- Ask someone to mentor you.
Take the tools and ideas that you have and run with them. Ask for help every chance you get! :]

What Is Really Important In Life? (Moving Mountains Mondays™ #2)
James wins the lottery, and Frank suffers with paralysis from the neck down. Which person is the happiest?
If you guessed James…you’re partially correct. However, it all depends on the time. Once Frank realizes he will never be able to use his body the same way again he might go into a “state of depression”, because no one “catches” depression, right? James jumps up in down in excitement about the possibilities that can come from the money he will obtain.
In that moment who is the happiest? James…although he may be taking the fact that he can even jump up and down for granted. But, as reality sets in James realizes how much he really gets after taxes and how much he has for bills. James forgot that part. But, then James is the type of person who doesn’t save for a rainy day. He goes on a shopping spree, buys a new car, and a new home for his family. Still think he’s the happiest? He could be, but he’s got a lot more expenses now!
What about Frank? Well after the initial “state of depression” Frank realizes this must be an opportunity for something greater in his life. He is done feeling sorry for himself, and he knows he can’t change what has happened to him. “Hey, maybe I can turn this into an opportunity to teach others the value and importance of life. It worked for Christopher Reeve! I can’t move anything below my neck, and at times it kills me inside, but I know that I’m still alive and everything happens for a reason.”
Example: Christopher Reeve http://www.christopherreeve.org
Which person is the happiest? Still think it’s James? The same thing has happened to countless others. Take for example:
Billy Bob Harrell Jr.: $31 million in Texas Lottery
A Pentecostal preacher working as a stock-boy at Home Depot hit the $31 million jackpot back in 1997. At first, life was good with Billy Bob buying a ranch, six other homes, and some new cars. Like many others who win the lottery, he was unable to simply say “NO!” when people asked him for a handout. Later in Life he divorced his wife and eventually committed suicide, the stress apparently too much to handle for this lottery winner.

You may win the lottery, but that will not grant you never ending happiness.
