OCTOBER 2013 - Words of Wisdom with Mario


Hello Club Members,

 Another month has passed and 2014 is well within our sights.

1.       What have you achieved this year?

2.       Did you begin with a list of ‘to do’s’ in January?

3.       What have you done to expand your friendships, your business relationships, your community wellness?

4.       Have you taken responsibility for your own wellness, your own lifestyle and your own health?

 
I have stated many times – we are all born for a Purpose. Some look for it and find it and feel the contentment. Others never quite find it – but in looking they lead a good life. Others never know - because they never bother to look. I hope you are not one of the latter?
 

It has been said by John Maxwell:

 
Great people discuss Ideas - Average people discuss Events - Small people discuss People.

 
If we ponder on this quote it is quite true. We all talk about people – usually about the mistakes they make or the things they do not do. We all talk about events. I mean what is life if you cannot discuss and argue about – politics, sport, social issues, education, other drivers and poor parenting.

 
Most of this stuff brings out emotions of joy, laughter, relaxation, humour and builds friendships. But we can also allow these issues and topics to upset us, to build resentment, to damage our emotional health.

 
How refreshing it is when we can speak about ideas, of how we can improve ourselves, our family and our community.
 
·         There should be a time in all of our days when we combine people and events with ideas.

·         A time when we allow ourselves the privilege and the desire to be just a little that bit better.

·         A time to expand our knowledge, our creativity and our ingenuity. 

·         A time to appreciate and to explore the gifts and talents we were each born with.

 To sum up – what does Great really mean? It really is:

·         Being content with who you are

·         Doing the ordinary things in life in the best way you are able

·         To give of your time, your ideas, your talents for the  betterment of others

·         To serve and not expect to be served

·         Bringing joy, peace and love to those we share our time.
 

Take Care………………Mario
