Miracles happen everyday (230 days to go)

If you are looking to vote for your favourite charity in the $10,000 Marathon Challenge please click here. Right now, I have some way More exciting to talk about!

If we look carefully enough, we can find miracles happening everyday. I was lucky enough to experience one of these miracles at 4:07am on Sunday Morning. My wife gave birth to our beautiful little daughter - Sophie.

Princess Sophie

 It was without a doubt, one of the most amazing experiences of my life. More amazing than everything I have achieved so far, more amazing than walking on searing hot coals, more amazing than travelling the world. This was an experience that cannot be defined by words.

The miracle of life is something that humbles me, as no amount of money or success can actually buy life. Yet, this precious event is something that people of all ages, races, beliefs and religions, have been blessed with the ability to experience. It seems to put everything into perspective.

If believe there is no better motivator in life, than your children. What parent wouldn’t sacrifice everything for their kids? It brings another dimension to your life, one which cannot be bought or sold.

Even in their infancy, children can teach us so much about life. They can show us how precious life is. They can show us how how something so small, can change so many lives. They can show us how silence, is the most powerful sound on the earth.

For those of you that have children - remember to be grateful for them. Hug and them and tell them you love them. Remember, there are a lot of people out there that would do anything to be in your position. Next time your children are driving you up the wall, stop and focus on what’s important. They are. :-)

 

The Price of Life (252 days to go)

Tuesday, January 27th, 2009

I think we can all agree that you can’t really put a price on life - no matter who’s life you are talking about. So can money buy life? I believe not.

What does this have to do with making a Million Dollars? Everything!

Going back to one of my first posts, I talked about your purpose and how important it is to find your purpose. Once you have found your true purpose, you will be so passionate about it, that it would be difficult NOT to succeed!

My purpose is to help other people become successful. I am passionate about helping others to achieve their goals. I love the feeling of helping someone achieve something that they really want to do.

What I am about to experience is one of the most amazing miracles of life. This is something that money can never buy, something that is unexplainable until you experience it yourself.

Millions of people from all over the world, people of different ages, rich people, poor people, sick people, healthy people, , old people, young people, people from all walks of life have gone through this experience.

Some people would do anything to be able to experience this. Others don’t appreciate it when it happens. Some people can’t handle it when it happens.

Ok, I’m sure you’ve guessed by now - I’m talking about the miracle of life - giving birth. Now obviously all you guys out there haven’t experienced that first hand (and I bet you’re pretty happy about that), however for those fathers out there - I’m sure you will agree with me that it’s something that you can’t describe.

So over the next couple of weeks, my beautiful wife, will be giving birth to our second child! At the moment - it is consuming my life, like every night is the night before Christmas. I cannot wait to meet my second child.

As you can see, I am very passionate about my family. Most people are. I am so grateful for my family and for being able to spend so much time with them. Just over a year ago, I was in the worst financial position of my life, crippled with debt, a low income and struggling to provide for my family.

By focusing on being successful, not for me, but for my family, I have been able to turn everything around. And the best part was - it hasn’t been difficult. In fact, making money has now become easy!

So if you want to be successful, make sure you want to become successful for the right reasons!
