Totally Fulfilled
beginning of the story. He was a single dad who worked two other jobs to support his three kids. As if things were not tough enough, his youngest son’s best friends were brothers in foster care who were to be separated. This amazing man, with all of life’s obstacles in front of him—mostly time—adopted these two teenage boys and took them in as his own without question or complaint. Through it all, you could see in his eyes the fulfillment and joy he experi- enced from being a great dad, a great fireman, and a great person. This man overcame obstacles as they came up by focusing on the outcome. It was an amazing story and gratifying to see him get a new home and help for his children to go to college. But something tells me that even if this show had not come into his life, he and his family would have been okay. This man eliminated excuses, espe- cially lack of time, and just got things done. And so can you. Remember, there is nothing Whatever it is, you can overcome it with the right tools. Crazy as it may sound, so many people will get my book, get really excited after reading the first few pages, but not go back to it because they think they don’t have the time to finish it. They’ll inevitably go back to the life that they are not completely happy with in the first place. But that’s not you . So how could time stop a person like you ? It can’t! Do this for yourself: Take the next week of your life and keep a journal of what eats up your day. Find the time you need to allow yourself to make these changes in your life. Prioritize and possibly eliminate something else to fit “You” into your schedule. If you are always giving to other people, you eventually won’t have anything left to give. On the other hand, if you are empow- ered, confident, and fulfilled, what you can give to others will be ten times stronger. …there is nothing anyone else out there can do that you can’t do… anyone else out there can do that you can’t do, whether your level of adversity is higher or lower than the man whose story I just told you.
