MARIO'S WORDS OF WISDOM THIS FESTIVE SEASON

Hello Club Member,
Welcome to December, the season of Giving and the end of another year of “your” life. For those of us who believe – it is the celebration of the birth of Jesus.

However - for all of us - it is a time to  enjoy more family time, a break from the daily grind and an opportunity to reflect and determine the New Year - Our New Year.

We can reflect upon our success through the following questions:

1. How many of my top goals did I achieve?
2. Have these goals led me towards my Purpose in Life?
3. Are the bonds between my family, my friends and my work colleagues – more meaningful and stronger?
4. Am I content with my life balance between health, learning, finance, personal and work life?
5. Can I look into the mirror and see a better me? Do I like the me I see?

Jim Rohn said:“Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines practiced every day”  and John Maxwell would say that these practiced disciplines plus knowing your purpose in life and applying Intentional Living to the mix – almost guarantees you will become who you are meant to be and leave a Legacy of Significance.

“Intentional Living – living with intent to act and do – is what causes you to start. It does not allow good intentions to stay as merely intentions” – John Maxwell.

Michelle Payne’s Melbourne Cup success is a current and wonderful example of a Purpose in life, of a Big Dream, of disciplines practiced every day, of Intentional living and working with family, with a horse, with owners and the trainer.  The power of the story lies in the Dream of One infused into the lives of many. It     exemplifies Determination with the power of Humility.

Humility to accept that she was only part of a team needed to achieve the Dream.  It is a success story that began over 20 years ago borne of a Big Dream to win the Melbourne Cup and the unshakable belief in this dream since the age of 5.   What carried her through the years of sweat, heart break, near fatal accidents and day to day practiced disciplines –“GRIT”.

Grit = Passion + Perseverance + Purpose + Patience = Disciplined Intentional Living

Her story is one to admire, to enjoy and to spur us to achieve our own Big Dream. To write your own story.
