This weekend I had the privilege of listening to Doug Nelson speak to our Market America team. The local seminars are always good and I'm able to apply what I learn to not only my Market America business, but to my personal training business as well. This particular Saturday I felt especially convicted. Have I put my dreams on the back-burner?
In the everyday world of bills, work, and relationships it is easy to get caught up in the daily grind. Go to work. Get paid. Pay the bills. Visit a few friends and family. Repeat. That's not good enough for me. It doesn't have to be that way. The last part about family and friends should be all I focus upon. Can you imagine a world where every single person actually did what they LOVE to do for a living without having to worry about getting paid? How much different would the world be? A server who enjoyed catering to your wants and needs. An auto salesmen actually giving you the best car to fit your specific needs and not overcharging you! The list could go on and on. Would there even be wars or famines?
Money is simply a means to an end. No, it isn't everything. But it certainly can get you a lot of freedoms! Freedom to spend the time doing what God has designed for me to do. Helping others find their ideal health and income. And in the process finding my own.
Thank you, Doug, for helping me keep my eyes on the prize.
