Sometimes we get given a lesson about how fortunate we really are. People who overcome the odds are inspiring and the lessons they give us are awesome. In the video below you’ll see how passion and determination can allow anyone to overcome their physical limitations.

As 2009 begins many of us are wondering what the New Year will bring. It is a time of resolution forming and goal setting, but will you really follow through on your plans. Will you really fulfill your dreams and aspirations or be a spectator? It really is up to you.
I came across this video on YouTube which might provide you some food for thought. So will 2009 represent a year of economic toughness or the greatest opportunity we have ever seen? Its up to you.
Here’s to your success in 2009.

A few years ago I came across a story which I loved.
Today I am going to share with you. Enjoy the read!
_______________________________________
Farmer and the Donkey
One day a farmer’s donkey fell down into a
well. The animal cried piteously for hours as
the farmer tried to figure out what to do.
Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the
well needed to be covered up anyway;
it just wasn’t worth it to retrieve the donkey.
He invited all his neighbors to come over and
help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began
to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the
donkey realized what was happening and cried
horribly. Then, to everyone’s amazement he
quieted down.
A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally
looked down the well. He was astonished at what
he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his
back, the donkey was doing something amazing.
He would shake it off and take a step up.
As the farmer’s neighbors continued to shovel
dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it
off and take a step up.
Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey
stepped up over the edge of the w ell and
happily trotted off!
Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds
of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well
is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of
our troubles is a steppingstone. We can get out
of the deepest wells just by not stopping,
never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up.
Remember the five simple rules to be happy:
Free your heart from hatred - Forgive.
Free your mind from worries - Most never happen
Live simply and appreciate what you have.
Give more.
Expect less
Until next time…. Ann Eldridge, Family Success Club

A Life of Ease
Monday, September 15th, 2008Isn’t a life of ease what many of us are looking for? I know that it is something Ann and I continually work at. We are a long way down the track and still working at it, probably just like you.
I was browsing through some of the recent additions to the website. We add new content every few days so make sure you keep checking back. I really enjoyed reading an e-book that comes from Andrew McCombe.
” You have been given a gift. It is called life and with this gift you have been given all of
the talents, all of the knowledge and all of the power to create whatever it is you want to
create on this planet. Regardless of what shape or form this gift comes in for you, you
owe it to yourself to go out there and be the best possible person you can be at
whatever you want to be, do and have with the gift that you have been given and see
what an amazing life you can create for yourself from the inside out.”
This epitomises the vision we have for this website and this club. We want to inspire and motivate as many people of possible to go and chase their dreams. Content like that on this website, and through exposure to some amazing people, gave myself and Ann the skills, the motivation, and the belief to go and chase our dreams. We certainly aren’t perfect. 5 years ago I was working for other people, long hours, waking up in the middle of the night worried about “management” issues. But we’ve come so far and achieved so much within our businesses and our personal lives that we are living proof that focus on mindset works and will let you achieve things for yourself that you never thought possible.
If you would like to more about the processes he recommends then follow the link to Andrew’s article. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did!
Here’s to your success (and a life of ease)!
Chris
