Cheers T!!

>>I am part of the energy of this universe. I am never expendable. (Just ask Frederick Smart!)>>

T:

You are part of "me."

We each are connected to each other in ways which we unfortunately fail to realize.

And the only way I, you or anyone else is going to learn this is by reorienting their position 180 degrees away from ourselves by embracing RISK actions which are designed to "help others."

T, understand that you and I have the potential to go into a trust partnership with each other to help someone/somewhere/sometime in needs.

This is the Power of Three Service model which is diametrically different from the two-leg quid pro quo barter/business/exchange model which drives most of crap we have come to know as passing for our personal and collective dysfuncational realities.

If I reach out to you AND point to the third leg - the person/entity in need - then I am acting as a selfless, humble catalyst/facillitator clearing your skill/vertical/knowledge through the trust and connection I have to the third person. The degree to which I don't require/demand/get anything from sharing this networking energy and skill is the degree to which I am taking more real risk. And the more real risk that is taken the more trust and energy that can potentially be created in ways which will last and remain sticky.

A good friend sent this to me the other day. Try this out yourself. We each have more power to "change the world" than we give ourselves credit for:

======================

A quiz worth taking-

The following is something to make us stop and think.

Take this quiz:

Name the five wealthiest people in the world.

Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.

Name the last five winners of the Miss America contest.

Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.

Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and actress.

Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.

How did you do?

The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday. These are no second-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields. But the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades
and certificates are buried with their owners.

Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one:

List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.

Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.

Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.

Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.

Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.

Name half a dozen heroes whose stories have inspired you.

Easier?

The lesson?

The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They are the ones that care.

=======================

Very simple.

Peace.

GO!!
