Judge Gently
Author Unknown
Pray don't find fault with the man who limps
or stumbles along the road,
unless you have worn the shoes he wears
or struggled beneath his load.
There may be tacks in his shoes that hurt,
though hidden away from view,
or the burden he bears, placed on your back
might cause you to stumble too.
Don't sneer at the man who's down today
unless you have felt the blow
that caused his fall or felt the shame
that only the fallen know.
You may be strong, but still the blows
that were his if dealt to you,
in the selfsame way, at the selfsame time,
might cause you to stagger too.
Don't be too harsh with the man who sins
or pelt him with word or stone,
unless you are sure, yea, doubly sure,
that you have no sins of your own -
for you know perhaps if the tempter's voice
should whisper as softly to you
as it did to him when he went astray,
it might cause you to stumble too. '

Letting Go
Author Unknown
To let go doesn't mean to stop caring;
It means I can't do it for someone else.
To let go is not to cut myself off...
It's the realization that I can't control another...
To let go is not to enable,
but to allow learning from natural consequences.
To let go is to admit powerlessness,
which means the outcome is not in my hands.
To let go is not to try and change or blame another,
I can only change myself.
To let go is not to care for, but to care about.
To let go is not to fix, but to be supportive.
To let go is not to judge,
but to allow another to be a human being.
To let go is not to be in the middle arranging all the outcomes,
but to allow others to affect their own outcomes.
To let go is not to be protective,
It is to permit another to face reality.
To let go is not to deny, but to accept.
To let go is not to nag, scold, or argue,
but to search out my own shortcomings and correct them.
To let go is not to adjust everything to my desires,
but to take each day as it comes and cherish the moment.
To let go is not to criticize and regulate anyone,
but to try to become what I dream I can be.
To let go is not to regret the past,
but to grow and live for the future.
To let go is to fear less and love more.

From Chicago to the World
" One person, with an idea, whose time has come
can change the world!"
Wherever you are...whatever age you are, your thoughts should be on creating
wealth...long term, multi-generational wealth. One of the best methods of
achieving this is through business ownership. My primary reason for building
a business is to create long term financial security and to help others
achieve the same. This is important because
many of us will be looking at retirement within the next few years. But
according to some predictions, the Social Security system, as we know it,
will no longer exist. Some people say the system is fine and will be stable
for some time into the future. But what about my 401K or IRA you say? Both
are good, but what do you do if you run out of money at the age of 70 or 75?
You need a stream of income that will last longer that you.
Your can begin your personal and business development right now, wherever
you are and whoever you are. One of my goals is to show people how to
conquer their fears while becoming extraordinarily successful in the
process. I know how it's done. I've done it in the corporate world...now
it's time for me to show others how to do for themselves.
You need to do something. I know what's working for me...however, you will
need to find your own path to financial success. It may be on the same path
that I'm traveling, or it may be different, but you must do something.
These are just some of the reasons that most economists and politicians are
encouraging small business development. Unless you take control of your
life, you will always be a rider in the back seat while someone else is
steering the vehicle that contains your future. In order to be successful,
you must put yourself in the path of success.

 My purpose,
via photography, personal writings and business mentoring, is to help you
to develop or enhance some key life skills to aid you in creating a life of
distinction. I've found out that there are many things that hold people back
in life, and hopefully, I can offer some encouragement that will help you to
elevate yourself to greater heights. Let's discover and overcome any barrier to personal growth and development that's holding you back.
