OK... I think I'm becoming a bit of a cut and paste blogger! Like my last post, this was sent to me via e-mail and I want to share it. I hope that the person who sent it to me doesn't mind.As 2009 draws to a conclusion, I think more of us are looking forward to a new year than ever before. However, with that said it is important to remember that often the most reward comes from enduring difficult times. I know everyone has faced many challenges this year, but let’s look to the future with a positive mind set and a determination of champions. Have a great New Year!
The Echo
"A son and his father are walking in the mountains. Suddenly, the son falls, hurts himself, and screams: 'AAAhhhhhhhhhhh!!!' To his surprise, he hears a voice repeating, somewhere in the mountains: 'AAAhhhhhhhhhhh!!!' Curious, he yells out: 'Who are you?' He receives the answer: 'Who are you?' And then he screams to the mountain: 'I admire you!' The voice answers: 'I admire you!' Angered at the response, he screams: 'Coward!' He receives the answer: 'Coward!' He looks to his father and asks: 'What's going on?' The father smiles and says: 'My son, pay attention.' Again, the man screams: 'You are a champion!' The voice answers: 'You are a champion!' The boy is surprised, but does not understand. Then the father explains: 'People call this ECHO, but really this is LIFE. It gives you back everything you say or do. Our life is simply a reflection of our actions. If you want more love in the world, create more love in your heart. if you want more competency in your team, improve your own competency. This relationship applies to everything, in all aspects of life. Life will give you back everything you have given to it. Your life is not a coincidence. It's a reflection of you'"
Now, during this new year, I ask you to stop and think for a moment. Are you paying attention and listening to YOUR Echo? From what life seems to be calling out to you, what are you calling out to life? Happy New Year!
