4 types of luck 4) Luck from Uniqueness - Luck comes to you, unsought, because of who you are and how you behave ... the links can be drawn together and fused only by one quixotic rider cantering in on his own homemade hobby horse to intercept the problem at an odd angle. -- Dr James Austin (Chase, Chance, & Creativity) #QuoteOfTheDay #Inspirational #Motivational

🎪✨ Family Circus Adventure Lessons 🎪✨ Just got back from a day at the circus with our family, and wow – these trapeze artists stole the show! 🤹♂️ They soar through the air, taking leaps of faith into the abyss, with nothing but trust in their partners to catch them. It's breathtaking to watch them fearlessly fly. This got me thinking... isn't this exactly like our work life? 🤔 In business, just as on the trapeze, we must trust our teams implicitly. Whether you're launching a new project or navigating changes, it's all about believing in each other's strengths and capabilities. It’s a leap of faith, sure, but when trust is the net, incredible things happen. 🚀 It’s one of the hardest things to do as an entrepreneur but I’ve learned that trust is key (but verify…😆) Ready to fly? Here’s to taking our own leaps, supported by the strength of our teams. #TeamTrust #LeapOfFaith #BusinessWithHeart

Go for a walk, take a day off, re-visit an old hobby, decide what's important right now, release all that emotion (e.g., crying), and check your self-talk. #fmf #calmingtechniques #selftalk #takeaday #bestday #emotion #self #release

People see me as Spider-Man: 🕷️ energetic, punctual, and unstoppable. But inside, I'm also like Peter Parker: a bit disorganized sometimes and dealing with my own issues. Yet, I live by the belief that with great power comes great responsibility. 💪 When we gain power or responsibility, it often comes with its own set of adversities. Spider-Man teaches us that true strength lies not just in our abilities, but in how we handle the challenges that come our way. Here are a few lessons we can learn from Spider-Man about managing adversity: 1. Embrace Your Duality 🌗 Just like Peter Parker balances his life as a student and a superhero, we must accept that we can be both strong and vulnerable. It’s okay to have flaws and struggles—they make us human and add depth to our character. 2. Stay Grounded 🌱 Despite his powers, Spider-Man remains humble and connected to his roots. Remembering where we come from and staying true to our values can help us navigate tough times with integrity and humility. 3. Persevere Through Challenges 🏋️ Spider-Man faces numerous villains and obstacles, yet he never gives up. Similarly, we should persevere through our difficulties, knowing that every challenge is an opportunity to grow stronger and wiser. 4. Seek Support 🤝 Even superheroes need help. Peter relies on his friends and family for support. We, too, should lean on our loved ones when facing adversity. There is strength in vulnerability and in accepting help from those who care about us. 5. Use Your Power for Good 🌟 With every responsibility, there’s an opportunity to make a positive impact. Spider-Man uses his abilities to protect and help others. We should strive to use our power and resources to make a difference in the world, creating ripples of kindness and change. By embracing these lessons from Spider-Man, we can better manage the adversities that come with power and responsibility. Remember, it’s not about being perfect; it’s about rising to the occasion and doing our best, just like our friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man. Let’s face our challenges head-on, with courage and resilience, knowing that each step forward is a victory in itself. 🌟🕷️🌟 #weekendmusings LinkedIn

'Finding Neverland' is a movie inspired by the real-life backstory of the play 'Peter Pan' (original playscript by J.M. Barrie, with opening night 12/27/1904). It's a family movie that evokes plenty of emotions. In fact, I laughed, shed many a tear (and endured the looks of those curious about my tears :-) Here's a 2-1/2 minute trailer... https://lnkd.in/eFTpzNNH It has a message for humanity. And for you. The theme is about nurturing your imagination and about being true to yourself. And finding meaning and purpose in the caring and serving of people through your business and business offerings. This is the business inspiration I found in the film. Being an entrepreneur, being in business development/bid creation/sales, and taking risks can be a tough gig that has its trails and tribulations. But there is plenty of joy to be found. And that joy is in 'finding your neverland'. Nurturing your imagination, digging deep to discover your inner-self (the you you really are) can lead to creating something remarkable and really cool. Something that tugs at heartstrings. Is fun. And provides truly meaningful experiences for all those who engage and buy. In 'finding your neverland', your passions find fertile soil, your purpose blossoms... and through the consistency of hard work and increasing excellence, you find fulfillment and satisfaction. I believe in your imagination... and in your neverland. Do you? Will you?! ------- While 'finding your neverland' doesn't have to involve me other than this post, I do provide a service that assists you on this journey. It's called the PassionsID™/PurposeID™ Guided Discovery Process. And you can access it here https://lnkd.in/eC_9BWBf #Passion #Purpose #CompetitiveEdgeSelling

You might have noticed that I have been talking about an initiative lately. I have been working on an initiative called One Way Society (OWS) with a group of people. Together, we aim to create a movement within His Movement. Our approach is not entirely new, but the difference lies in our actions. We are not merely sending information; rather, we are using existing knowledge and acting on it. Our focus is on the Word. Our joint venture businesses are founded on divine ideas that demand attention. By partnering with fellow business enthusiasts and distributing the outcomes equitably, we can foster the growth of these initiatives collectively. This approach enables us to achieve far more than we could individually. Our mission is to combat capitalism and individualism, which we believe are harmful to Creation. We have a duty to God, to each other, and to all living beings, and it's our responsibility to care for them with humility. Our core values are transparency, equality, honesty, activity, fertility, and selflessness. We want to build and move forward together, as we believe there is only One Way. When we work together, we can have a significant impact. You can participate in this movement, too. By joining our LinkedIn Group, you will be notified of all new initiatives, share your ideas, and ask for more information if a presented initiative sounds appealing to you and/or your business. By pressing the following link you will be guided to our OWS Community group here on LinkedIn: #OWS #OneWaySociety #jointventures #growth
