The ability to answer yes to this question, “Does my dream benefit others?” has been a journey for me. When I was younger I admit I had dreams but in the end the dream was all about what I would achieve and how I would benefit. As I have gotten older my dreams are still there but now I am wanting to help others to acheive their dreams. Instead of thinking “What can I get from others?” I am asking myself,”What can I give to others”? I think that has put me on a better track. Being selfish sure didn’t get me closer to my dreams at all.

Mother Teresa once said, “A day lived without doing something good for others is a day not worth living”. That hit me hard the first time I read it. I read it daily as my mantra.
Thomas Edison said,”I never perfected an invention without thinking of how it would benefit others.” Have you been confronted with that decision?

A dream isn’t worthy of a person’s life if it doesn’t benefit others. I believe that is why we are here: to help other people. I know that is why I am here.

If I can help you in anyway, please contact me.
God Bless!

Accountability is not an easy challenge. It requires us to exit our comfort zones, and to fully recognize all of our hidden motives,
agendas, and excuses. In a society that tends to focus on blaming the other guy, it becomes increasingly important for the individual to take responsibility for his/her own thoughts and deeds.

Universal law states that for every action there is an equal reaction. Those that recognize this fully appreciate the responsibility for
every thought, word, and action they take. With this wisdom comes forethought, restraint, and awareness of intention. These moments of honesty and ownership give a sense of empowerment that can’t be found in continually playing the role of victim. Although it can be difficult to face situations with total honesty, it feels good when we do. Accountability is the first large step in reclaiming personal power and freedom.

Exercise:

Pay attention to an area where you have not accepted full accountability for your actions (and we all have at least one if we
are honest).

How have your thoughts shaped your intentions and actions?

Reflect on this and then make a statement accepting accountability for your role in this. How does this action affect you emotionally and spiritually? Have you allowed others to have power over you? Even when we are wronged by others, we have a choice to do
the right thing, or to justify the wrong ones.

You have a choice. What will it be?

God Bless!
