What a brilliant lesson from Michael Dlouhy on taking care of those important things
before taking care of those smaller items which comes up, when you take care
of those important people then you can have everything else you ever desired.
Thank you Michael Dlouhy for such an amazing lesson,
Wishing you the best in Health, life, love and a massive hug

Hello Ben ,
.
Please take a moment to reflect on What Is Most Important In Your Life as
we move into a new year. Michael, Linda, Matthew, Amanda and Branden.
.
Most of our friends know that Linda’s mom Lucille passed the day after
Thanksgiving 2 years ago. We were left with an incredible hole in our
Heart’s, because we put our Golf Balls into our jar first Lucille lives on
in our lives forever.
.
A professor stood before his class and had some items in front of him.
.
When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty
mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked
the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar.
.
He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between
the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They
agreed it was.
.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar.
Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if
the jar was full.
.
The students responded with a unanimous 'yes.' The professor then
produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the
entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between
the sand. The students laughed.
.
'Now,' said the professor, as the laughter subsided, 'I want you to
recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the
important things -god, family, children, health, friends, and favorite
passions – things that if everything else was lost and only they remained,
your life would still be full.
.
The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, house, and car.
The sand is everything else - the small stuff. If you put the sand into the
jar first,' he continued, 'there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls.
.
The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small
stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you.
.
So... pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play
with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner
out to dinner.
.
There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. Take
care of the golf balls first - the things that really matter. Set your priorities.
.
The rest is just sand.' One of the students raised her hand and inquired
what the coffee represented. The professor smiled. 'I'm glad you asked.
It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem,
there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend.'
.
Our family and team Believes in You and Your Dreams, we hope You
will take the time to reflect and relive the most important part of this
amazing life.
.
We Believe In You
Michael & Linda Dlouhy

Email not displaying correctly? View it in your browser. Everything you create or acquire begins in the form of desire. In order to act, you must have a purpose. If you want to act successfully in all but the most mundane affairs, you must embrace that purpose with a burning desire. Many people think they want to be successful, but since they do not back that thought with an intense drive, they never achieve success. Cultivate your desire. Feed it with thoughts of yourself enjoying whatever it is you seek. It’s like stoking the furnace of a steam engine. You need to build up enough pressure to carry yourself over hills; if your desire doesn’t burn hotly enough, you’ll find yourself stalled and rolling backwards. The secret to action is a red-hot desire. Permanent link to this post: Everything you create or acquire begins in the form of desire. New Titles from the Napoleon Hill Foundation!

Dear Ben, Here is your Friday story, (Real) Explorers Know How to Regroup Earlier this fall, we celebrated the Thanksgiving of my homeland, Canada. Now, with American Thanksgiving upon us, I can’t help but be reminded of the brave pilgrims of our past who left behind everything they knew to settle a new world. These explorers likely offset the anxieties of leaving the familiar, by focusing on the thrill of a fresh start with new experiences. Then, once they arrived, they encountered unforeseen obstacles and challenges, some of which threatened the success of their mission – and sometimes their very lives. Does this sound like a history channel documentary about the 1500’s? This tale of explorers, new worlds, and obstacles is also my own story. In 2000, my family and I moved from Canada to the USA. It was exciting and exhausting and I had a list of things to do about 10 miles long! I was up to my eyeballs between moving, working, and corralling our two little girls. I barely had time to catch my breath. Then suddenly, smack dab in the middle of my chaotic voyage to a new world, just when I was hoping for a little smooth sailing, I was blindsided by a storm at sea. During my routine first physical exam in Pennsylvania, the doctor found “SOMETHING.” I barely took notice, my brain continuing to spin with the details of my current plan of action. I was too busy. My things-to-do list was still out of control. Whatever this was had better be nothing. I didn’t have time for this. The doctor then got my attention in two words – breast cancer. All my things to do drifted silently to my feet like a fallen house of playing cards. My spinning brain ground to an abrupt halt. Here I was, an enthusiastic explorer from the land of Canada, suddenly facing a life or death obstacle in my new country. In the coming weeks and months I was faced with (in addition to everything else) a barrage of tests, doctors’ visits, near crippling, claustrophobic terror at times and unbelievable anxiety about my future, as well as my family’s future in light of this diagnosis. My mother had already passed away from breast cancer. Was I next? At one my lowest of low points I felt like I was trapped in a cold, dark cave with no way out. In that moment God shone a light in, found me, led me out, and lifted me up with hope. He was beside me through the surgery, radiation treatments, and recovery, while also watching over my family, from the waiting room, to my bedside and to our lives beyond. What began as a jarring entry into a new world ended with many valuable life lessons that stick with me today. The one I want to share with you today – the one I want you to truly “own” is about the importance of regrouping and reevaluating your plan in times of crisis or challenge. In business and in life we are hit with these moments, when we have a plan in place and think we know exactly what will happen next. The fact is, my friends, we have no idea what will happen next. To believe otherwise would be foolish and counterproductive. Our job is to hold the desire of what we want firmly in our thoughts, and then accept responsibility for the action that is needed to get us where we want to go. It’s critically important to make plans for your business and your life. It’s just as important to give yourself permission, without guilt or self-judgment, to adjust these plans when adjustments need to be made. Because very often, it is the things you learn, during those course adjustments that shape your life for the better. The storms I’ve weathered, things I’ve learned, and abundance of blessings bestowed on me throughout it all, make me more grateful than ever for my journey. How many pilgrims are lucky enough to have two lands to be thankful for? I’m proud to have been born and raised in Canada and then extremely grateful for the life we have now in the USA. The milestones, successes, and experiences our family has experienced in the past 13 years have been simply amazing. Taking the leap of faith to move to the USA has proven to be a successful leap. Now, my husband and I watch as our girls achieve their own successes and create their own legacies here in the USA. Yes, Canada will always be my homeland, but the good ole USA is now my home.
