From the Desk of Bob
I hope you are counting your blessings everyday.
Life is so precious, so fleeting. Are you doing what is really vital and important in your life? Are you living as if this may be your last day on the planet? I know that this is the way I choose to live.
I want to leave a lasting legacy. To leave a lasting legacy I must be driven to accomplish my personal and professional goals on a daily basis.
Living life to the fullest and touching people in a positive and powerful way is a choice that we can all make every day.
Enthusiastically! Bob

"Without goals, and plans to reach them, you are like a ship that has set sail with no destination."
~Fitzhugh Dodson~
"Our goals can only be reached through a vehicle of a plan, in which we must fervently believe, and upon which we must vigorously act. There is no other route to success."
~Stephen A. Brennan~
"The reason most people never reach their goals is that they don't define them, or ever seriously consider them as believable or achievable. Winners can tell you where they are going, what they plan to do along the way, and who will be sharing the adventure with them."

Seeds of Success: It Is Never Too Late
By Robert A. Prentice
I am reminded that achieving a short-term goal is like winning a game, but achieving a long-term goal is like winning the tournament. Are you setting your goals down in black and white? We should be establishing a daily habit of getting our goals out of our heads and down on paper, because it will help us see things from a different perspective. I am constantly looking for ways to reach a higher goal-achieving ratio. This is such a simple solution to greater success.
It is never too late to get into the habit of putting your goals down on paper. Establishing specific timetables, and deadlines really causes us to have some serious motivation. A little self- imposed pressure–motivations that will propel us towards our dreams and desires each day we are alive–is good for us.
Take the time today to get your goals down. Share them with some who can really hold you accountable to there result. Go to someone who will be tough on you–someone who will really hold your feet to the fire. Please do not put this off. There is no reason to live in the “should’ve or could’ve”. Grasp life with a gusto today and do not let go. Jump up and down and shake it all about if you have to. I am serious. It is never too late to live the life you dream about. Make it a reality. True joy comes from living life with a passion.
Caution: Do not let anyone steal your dreams. There are people on this planet who are DREAM THIEVES. They want to pull you back into their bucket of muck.
Strive to achieve your heart’s desire. It truly is never too late to live the life that you are dreaming about. How about starting today?
To Achieve Your GOALS Be:
GENUINE: Proceed as from the original stock, the original thought. Free yourself from pretense and deceit. Embrace the authentic you.
ORIGINAL: Belong to the beginning thought. Connect yourself to that which is inventive and creative. Allow this source to flow through you, and sustain a fresh channel for new ideas.
ACTING: The word "act" is the root word for the word "practice". It is the first step in making something Happen. But beware; it is also a kindred spirit soul of "reaction".
LEADING: Be a leader with no one following you. Choose to prompt your own thinking and action. Deduce your own set of values.
SURE: Let your mind attain a level of certainty which is free from doubt as to your reliability, character and actions. Be confident with what you expect.
