Question: How would you feel, or what would you do? Now that you have expressed your feelings, let me shine some light in your window. One day you get home. You are drained, sleepy and beat down. All you want to do is to throw yourself on the bed and sob. You check your mail and find a letter from a client who read your proposal some time ago. Fortunately, its a Fortune 500 company. They are bringing suppliers on board, and you are one of their choices. According to the letter, they want to sign a contract with you worth one hundred thousand dollars. After six months, if they like your performance, they will refer you to five other companies. They also promise to provide you with all the right support to ensure your success. That means that in one year you will be running a company worth half a million dollars! According to your business plan, your net profit will be one hundred fifty thousand dollars. Question: Describe how you would feel after reading that letter. Would you hire the friends and family members who didnt think much of your idea? Did you get excited and full of energy when you heard that news? Where did you find the energy you now have when less than ten minutes ago you were so drained and exhausted? Answer: You always had it! You just needed to tap into it. That energy is HOPE! This is m whole point. A clear and vivid vision of a hopeful future will wake you up bright and early in the morning full of passion, motivation and energy.

No matter how dim your future looks to others, with hope, you will always have a gigantic spotlight in it. The lesson? See your future in a three-dimensional view. Smell it, touch it, live it everyday and be nuts about it. Believe me, I can tell you from personal experience that this is the cure for a stressful and depressing day. Everyone Has A Village
