My Mentor, Coach and Buddy Joe Schroeder.. sends me these cool mind shifting e-mails from time to time..

Today I woke to this one..

END of LIFE is coming (yes, we all graduate school house earth)

and I am acting like I have ONLY a few weeks left

Funny how most people let patience INTERRUPT their bliss

what if you acted like you had ONLY six months left

what if you were LESS patient and acted like TIME was short

what people would you then leave?

what lifestyle would you abandon?

what WORDS would all of a sudden be used, like “thank you” maybe more

what people would you LOVE more and love more often

if

You lived like you were leaving

if

You were less patient

what customers would you GO back to and remind them how MUCH they impacted you

what FLOWERS would you all of a sudden take MORE time to look at

if

You only had a few months left

what, if this was true, what would change OVER NIGHT for you if you learned you ONLY had six months left

is patience INTERRUPTING your treasure

whose OPINION of you would NO longer matter

what silly MONEY angle would all of a sudden appear rude to you

what loud, greed filled people would you all of a sudden lose a TASTE for

if

YOU only had six months left

why do we change and change fast, upon end of life and UNTIL then act like we own the clock and we have forever?

I live like I am dying I act like I have only ten tomorrows left

it’s only one DRIVE down highway # 34 and you crack up and die

It’s only one trip to the doctor and oops, “game is over.”

we never know

therefore you

DREAM like you will NEVER die and you LIVE a life of legendary proportion to SECURE your own infamy and legend

MOM THERESA did that

MARTIN LUTHER KING lived like that

You can too

YOU DREAM INTO eternity

YOU live like you are DYING

YOU act like there are ONLY a few FRIDAYS left and you BRING everyone ON your blissful trip to somewhere called FEELS GOOD

all of a sudden you walk around BEAMING ear to shining ear

all of a sudden you are HAPPIER because you KNOW you are LOVE CHILD

now you CAN predict the future Because you KNOW time is RUNNING out and you are happier

BECAUSE you spend the REST of your days on this plane PREPARING everyone else to PART from you

YOU bless and heal and love everyone and prepare them for your trip into eternity

It’s called living a life that never has to die

It’s called a life that never has to end

It’s called FEELS DARN GOOD

It’s called PREPARE everyone and set them UP for when you are no longer around

It’s called life is short

It’s called LOVE others IN SPITE of how they feel about you

It’ called be an evangelist and LOVE others FIRST

make people and make more life

THAT is to be rich

everything else is just a TICK on the expense sheet

see you on the other side

THE MILLION MIND MARCH

Everyone is a plural. Everyone has two selves. I do. I have a down, negative side that wants to live life by what I only see and under my circumstances. The “other self”, the positive one believes in my BEST intentions of MY heart. And so that is the self I listen to in those dark days. I believe in the beauty that lies ahead. “Success, authority and ocean front property is strictly reserved for the mighty”~~ Joe Schroeder “Success, authority and the big house on the hill is strictly reserved for the strong and for the second self to stand strong and shine BRIGHT”!~~ JoAnn Donahue

I bet the headline got you reading

this post, wanting to know just

how can you can CHEAT your way to success?

It’s sounds appealing doesn’t it?

This will be a short post that will hopefully

open your eyes to see that by “trying to cheat”

“wanting to cheat” your way to YOUR success

because it would be so much easier is…

SUICIDE

Here allow me to give you a visual…

One fish is swimming doing

what fish do… working

to get his/her food..

and because of it’s diligence the fish

survives and continues doing fish..

and is becoming bigger

and stronger because of…

Now we have another fish..

this fish wants to have it easy and quick

doesn’t want to work so hard

wants to just “Cheat”

Here is where my visual takes

on a whole new perspective

what looks like “LOVE”

hanging right in front of him/her

(on that hook which the fish does not see by the way)

appeals to that cheating, easy way out side of the fish

and Wham… The fish is caught, hooked, yanked and

Suicide..

There is no cheating your way to success.

There is no real easy way to success.

Our success… Man Kinds…

I’m talking here folks..

requires diligence, finding the

“RIGHT InForMatiOn”

to learn and then apply..

Beware of the so called “LOVE”

that hangs all around in our world… on line and off line..

Once you get hooked you can’t

get off with-out much pain

aka/ the lose of lots of money OR worse

dreams and potential un-realized

Here’s to Keeping It Real and To Your Success..

Go Become the Big Fish!

Sincerely,

JoAnn
