Courage + Commitment = Successfull Goals

How committed are you to reaching your Goals? This quote came to me today from Bob Proctor. I had just finished some writing for Guide to Home Based Business, where I post blogs on utilizing courage in business. This quote is so true. With courage, combined with commitment, you will find a way and the power to do almost anything you set your mind and heart to.

If you make the unconditional commitment to reach your most important goals, if the strength of your decision is sufficient, you will find the way and the power to achieve your goals.”

Robert Conklin

Christopher Reeve Lived in Courage

I was thinking of Christopher Reeve’s today. What a powerful peaceful soul. A Role Model. My birthday is this month. I was born the same year as Christopher in 1952. As many of you know, he passed on October 10th 2004. He would be 56 this year. He is greatly missed around the world.

I am so grateful for my life. Each year that passes brings more joy, with life unfolding in the most miraculous ways. Superman could fly and sometimes I feel as if I can too. Christopher Reeve’s knew how to fly in the face of fear, with great courage. Few people have the strength to live with such grace in the appearance of such a challenge. There is no doubt that some days were much harder to face than others, but he rose to the occasion, setting himself as a example to the world. To live in freedom, no matter what seems to be an obstacle is a gift of courage we each own. Thank you Christopher and your family for being such an inspiration to all of us. May we all follow your lead and live in COURAGE.

Name: Christopher Reeve

Born: September 25, 1952 in New York, New York

Home: Westchester County, N.Y.

Jim Stovall - Blind Courage

A friend of mine Marie Louise Steenbjerg, who lives in Denmark sent me an e-mail about Jim Stovall, along with a video from You Tube. Marie Louise heard Jim speak in Los Angeles and said it was very moving to hear his story. I would like to share it with you.

Jim Stovall is blind now, and claims he never read a book cover to cover until he was blind. Now Jim is an avid reader and author. One of Jim’s books was turned into a best selling movie. Now Jim has established a television company with the focus on helping blind people. Jim travels the country speaking to motivate people to their full potential.

When the doctors told Jim he was going blind, he went into denial. In his own words Jim says “I had a PhD in quitting.” In this You Tube video, he tells a story about 4 year old Christopher and how they changed each others lives. This is a true story of Courage and Strength. Jim says to “imagine your big dream and remember it is too soon to quit,” saying that we have the capacity to achieve anything. This video is very inspiring. I hope you enjoy it. Thank you Marie Louise
