"The will to win is everything"
- legendary Green Bay Packers football coach, Vince Lombardi.
Examples of Wilma
Rudolf (see my book on sport psychology "The Winning Mind") and in business,look at the amazing global growth of Mcdonalds. Winners work hard at doing the things the majority of people dont like to do.
Finally,
10. The seed of perspective. Be a
"seed thrower", a giver, who touches lives and makes a
difference, living each moment with love, grace and especially
gratitude. The treasure is within you...so live a life of
celebration.
May each of you grow strong and healthy in your
own way. May you reach for the sky...as the only ceilings to
your growth are your own imaginations.

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking; so that other people wont feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously
give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others."
- Marianne Williamson
I love these beautiful and inspiring words, as uttered by former South African President Nelson Mandela in his Inaugeration speech of 1994. I have admired and respected madiba for many years - for his "immense generosity, graciousness and nobility of spirit")...and am sharing an additional thought or two...
"Deep within us there is a flame that burns, and that flame is the spark of God. In some it burns brightly, in others it is barely distinguishable; but always it burns...and with love and acceptance the flame gets higher and brighter. We can help others to kindle this flame by seeing the good in them, even if they dont see it themselves." -anon
P.S: Thank you sincerely,
Dr Waitley for sharing your insight, words of wisdom and
especially inspiration in planting "seeds of greatness" and thus
encouraging me to follow my dreams along my "untrodden path" with passion and persistence.

"Do not follow the well-beaten track of others towards success - like the rainbow, it is often an illusion always just beyond our reach. Make your own path and let your spirit blaze a brilliant trail towards the pot of gold, the prize for the gift - one that is uniquely you and YOUR successful journey down the mysterious and magical river of life."

"Our talents are our gifts from God... but what we do with them
are our gifts TO God."
