"nice guys finish last," "Winning isn't everything; it's the only thing!"<br /> <br /> Such sentiments characterize our culture, driving workaholic lifestyles that destroy health, fracture family life, and eliminate the spiritual discipline required to have a growing relationship with God. S</b><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><b>o what should we do? Avoid all competition? Opt out of the rat race? Retire and watch the world go by? No, those are not options for a follower of Christ. So:<br /> <br /> 1. Beware of competitiveness that leads to jealousy. Cain's competitiveness toward his brother Abel led him to murder (See Ge 4: 1-8). He tried to put his brother down in order to lift himself up. King Saul tried to kill David when the crowd sang, "Saul has slain thousands, and David his ten thousands" (</b></span><span style="font-size:14px;font-weight:bold;">1Sa 18:6-11 NKJV).</span></span></span> <br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-weight:bold;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Those words caused jealousy to grow like a cancer in him.<br /> <br /> 2. Understand that by seeking to excel in your calling, you exalt Christ. Paul writes: "You've...seen the athletes race. Everyone runs; one wins. Run to win. All good athletes train hard...for a gold medal that tarnishes and fades. You're after one that's gold eternally" (1Co 9:24-25 TM). No second-rate effort, no settling for mediocre outcomes. "I'm running hard for the finish line. I'm giving it everything I've got. No sloppy living for me. I'm staying alert and in top condition" (1Co 9:26 TM).<br /> <br /> Getting ahead of others isn't what it's about; it's about maximizing all you for God's glory! "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men" (Col 3:23 NIV)</span></span></span></span></span><br /></span></span></span></span></span></div><p style="text-align:center;"></p><p style="font-size:16px;" class="textImage" align="center"><span style="font-weight:bold;">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</span></p><p class="textImage" align="center"></p><div align="center"><span style="font-size:16px;"><big>Regards and Blessings to you,</big><br /> <big><br /> Jack McLaughlin</big><br /> <big><br /> P.S.</big><br /> <big><br /> A wealth of information is available here to assist you in your attraction marketing,<br /> <br /> online home based business and business opportunity efforts.

that new car or new house”.The truth is God gives you <strong>what you need</strong> when you need it.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>So don’t worry if you feel like your not where you think you should be in your life.Don’t worry if your business is not succeeding in the time period you wanted.God will give you <em>what you need</em> when you need it.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>If your not seeing the success in your business at this time in your life or if have not got that job promotion you have been praying for.The reason is,it is not <span>what you need</span> at this point.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>When you need it,God will give you what you need as soon as you need it.Look at from another point of view.Suppose you have what you need but your really not ready for it.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Think about that for a minute,lets say you got that job promotion that required other skills that you have not really mastered at this time and you got that job and then it was cut short because you did not have what you need.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>I believe you would rather have what you need before winning that promotion,then to have won and lost it all.See the point I’m getting at.</p><p> </p><p>

I really did not have the mindset and thought process in my business to really succeed.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>In my current business I was pitched time and time again.But I believe it took my sponsor who was unique among all others to provide me with the leader I needed.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>So don’t pray for that million dollar payday or that new new car or house.Instead pray and trust in God to provide you with what you need.Like the skills involved or to meet that special person that will help you achieve those goals.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Timothy Eller</p><p> </p><p> </p><h2>Maybe What You

The Alcohol Cost Calculator developed by Ensuring Solutions to Alcohol Problems focuses on the most severe</div><div>types of problem drinking — alcohol dependence and alcohol abuse.</div><div><h3>What is Alcohol Dependence or Alcoholism When You Have A Problem Drinking?</h3><div><em>Problem drinking</em>,alcoholism, also known as alcohol dependence or alcohol addiction, is a chronic disease with four primary symptoms:</div><div>• Craving: A strong need or compulsion to drink.</div><div>• Loss of control: The inability to limit one’s drinking on any given occasion.</div><div>• Physical dependence: Withdrawal symptoms, such as nausea, sweating, shakiness, and anxiety occur</div><div>when alcohol use is stopped after a period of heavy drinking.</div><div>• Tolerance: The need to drink greater amounts of alcohol over time in order to get high.</div><div><div><strong>What is Alcohol Abuse?</strong></div><div>During the course of a year, a person who meets diagnostic criteria of alcohol and problem drinking abuse will experience at least one of the following drinking-related problems:</div><div>• Inability to fulfill major work, school or home responsibilities;</div><div>• Problem Drinking in situations that are physically dangerous, such as while driving a car or operating machinery;</div><div>• Having recurring alcohol-related legal problems, such as being arrested for driving under the influence of</div><div>alcohol or for physically hurting someone while drunk; or</div><div>• Continuing to drink despite having ongoing relationship problems that are caused or worsened by the problem drinking.</div><div><div><strong>What are other types of problem drinking issues?</strong></div><div>The Alcohol Cost Calculator provides estimates of the likely number of people who have an alcohol problem drinking disorder — either,alcohol dependence or alcohol abuse. There is a broader spectrum of alcohol-related drinking patterns that can cause grave problem drinking for individuals, families, employers, and communities.</div><div>Experts now understand that people can drink in a wide range of unhealthy and unsafe ways — from occasionally having as little as a single drink and then driving to being addicted to alcohol — and that unsafe problem drinking takes a toll in the workforce and at home. The total impact of the spectrum of <strong>problem drinking</strong> to a company, its employees and their families is likely to be greater than the results shown by the Alcohol Cost Calculator.</div><div><strong>What is Heavy Drinking?</strong></div></div><div>Federal government surveys characterize heavy problem drinking as having five or more drinks on at least five occasions during a month, but it is important to remember that alcohol problems can and do occur at much lower levels of consumption.</div></div></div><div><strong>What is Binge Drinking?</strong></div><div>Drinking five or more drinks on at least one occasion during a month is considered binge drinking. When heavy drinkers consume five or more drinks on a single occasion, they are bingeing, but not everyone who binges is a heavy problem drinking.</div><div>Binge drinking puts individuals at serious risk for an alcohol problem.</div><div><strong>What is Risky Drinking?</strong></div><div><a href="http://socialmediabar.com/problemdrinking">Problem drinking</a> in ways that are likely to lead to trauma or adverse health effects, including alcoholism, is considered risky drinking.</div><div>For more on the range of alcohol problem drinking see the Ensuring Solutions to Alcohol Problems primer Understanding the <em>Problem </em><em>Drinking</em> Continuum.

You may be able to boil down a system to a few steps, but you cannot list every sub-section of each step to be taken. Just take cleaning up after dinner. Simple enough huh? In every home you go into that will be done differently. You could even look at the way different people brush their teeth. How many ways have you seen that done? </p> <p>But, what about business systems, you ask? Those are only as many as there are stores, gurus or farmers market vendors. </p> <p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}3818708995,original{{/staticFileLink}}"><img class="align-left" src="{{#staticFileLink}}3818708995,original{{/staticFileLink}}" width="120" alt="3818708995?profile=original" /></a></p> <p>So, when I ran into people who seriously, almost religiously took their way of doing business, or their systematic approach to be the ‘bible’ of how to do business-I’d be amused. And not only that, I would be resistant. </p> <p>My first draft of this PR had a very sarcastic tone to it. I’m happy I didn’t post it. It’s funny that lessons come all jumbled up it seems then they all suddenly make sense. </p> <p>You see when you go through a valley, you begin to think negatively. That negativity shows up in what you do and how you do it. I was in a valley and I was mad. I mentally put ‘horns’ on people who reached out to me. I was in the throes of rabid negativity. I snapped and bit, growled and barked. I am so glad somebody threw a tranquilizer. Actually it was more than one person. But their efforts had a cumulative and calming effect. Once I was calmed, I was able to listen and really hear the lessons and instruction they were giving me. </p> <p>Instead of feeling like ‘everybody is talking at me and I can’t hear a word their saying’ I got the point of it all. The point is to keep going. Keep taking steps. Don’t worry about the ‘how’ just take the steps the way you take them. Don’t worry that he says ‘that site doesn’t work’ but she says ‘that same site does work’. The point is for you to find what works for you. Just keep taking steps. </p> <p>I took the hand nearest me with my right hand and they pulled and held on. I got the point of their lesson and put my left hand in the hand of a person a little further up and they pulled and hung on while I positioned my feet on ever higher levels of understanding. The collective goodwill from others gathered around my rescue strengthened me and those holding and pulling me. Being connected is such an awesome thing. It’s like a ‘barn raising’ or ‘well digging’ community works that may look like it’s for one person or family but is beneficial to the whole community. </p> <p>My plans for the day were interrupted all day yesterday. One of the things on the list was writing that poisonous PR. When tomorrow comes I’ll get these things done, I thought. Then a call for help came and I was up most of the night. The thing that began with him asking help, turned into him helping me. His was the hand that brought me off the valley floor. </p> <p>All the Perfectly Right People, Where Do They All Come From? They came from their valleys. <a href="{{#staticFileLink}}3818709057,original{{/staticFileLink}}"><img class="align-center" src="{{#staticFileLink}}3818709057,original{{/staticFileLink}}" width="400" alt="3818709057?profile=original" /></a>They overcame. They kept going, they did not give up. And they are telling you and me how they overcame, not that we have to do it exactly as they did, but as an example. They told their stories as an inspiration. They are not saying “Be me and do just as I did”. That thought was born of the negativity in my own mind. It was in my own mind that I began a litany “I’m so confused. Why are they all telling me different things?” It is my job to focus on how I do my business. From the experiences of many I get to choose what I do, what I try, how I put my system of operation into effect. How I do my business is never going to be exactly like someone else’s. My exercise of my choice is mine. </p> <p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}3818709027,original{{/staticFileLink}}"><img class="align-center" src="{{#staticFileLink}}3818709027,original{{/staticFileLink}}" width="358" alt="3818709027?profile=original" /></a></p> <p>And your choice is yours, too. You may be in a valley as you read this. I hope that you can begin to see the ‘helping hands’ that are extended to you. The words and ideas shared by people you are connected with, are ‘helping hands’. It is up to you to zero your attention onto that one or two closest to you in spirit. Concentrate, focus and pull up and out of the funk you are in. All those others cheering you on can sound like a din. But, words and ideas are physical and effective in pushing or pulling you toward your goal of getting out of the valley and on to the success that you want. Focus on getting up. </p> <p>All the Perfectly Right People, Where Do They All Come From? They came through their own valleys and developed their own systems of operation to gain the success they have. They want you to be successful too. And you can be! Your system, your way of doing business successfully is in you and you use it every day. You do it so well that you have become ‘unaware’ of what makes you authentic and gives you the ability to influence. When you focus and pay attention to developing that part of yourself, you will be known as one of the ‘perfectly right people’ on a regular basis. You will be one of those providing ‘helping hands’ on autopilot.</p> <p> <a href="{{#staticFileLink}}3818709070,original{{/staticFileLink}}"><img class="align-left" src="{{#staticFileLink}}3818709070,original{{/staticFileLink}}" width="120" alt="3818709070?profile=original" /></a></p> <p> </p> <p>Bessie Mathis</p> <p><a href="http://BetMathis.MyBusinessPagePro.com">http://BetMathis.MyBusinessPagePro.com</a></p> <p> </p></div>
