Bring Out Your Best
When is the last time you met someone that brought the BEST out in you? When is the last time you worked to bring the BEST out in others? When you work to bring the best out of others, you are giving them BEST part of you which will leave SPACE which then gets filled with blessings! If you never give of yourself, there is no opportunity to RECEIVE the blessings that have been earmarked JUST FOR YOU! Try today to bring the Best out of others and watch your blessings come pouring in; or continue to be stuck in the MIRE of SELF-CENTERED behavior and watch the video of your life being played out in the land of un-fulfilled opportunities. The choice is yours!

WHAT HAPPENS IN HEAVEN
This is one of the nicest e-mail's I have seen and it is so true:
I dreamed I went to Heaven and an angel was showing me around. We walked side-by-side inside a large workroom filled with angels. My angel guide stopped in front of the first section and said, 'This is the Receiving Section. Here, all petitions to God said in prayer are Received.' I looked around in this area, and it was terribly busy with so many angels sorting out petitions written on voluminous paper sheets and scraps from people all over the world.
Then we moved on down a long corridor until we reached the second section. The angel then said to me, "This is the Packaging and Delivery Section. Here, the graces and blessings the people asked for are processed and delivered to the living persons who asked for them." I noticed again how busy it was there. There were many angels working hard at that station, since so many blessings had been requested and were being packaged for delivery to Earth.
Finally at the farthest end of the long corridor we stopped at the door of a very small station. To my great surprise, only one angel was seated there, idly doing nothing. "This is the Acknowledgment Section," My angel friend quietly admitted to me. He seemed embarrassed.
"How is it that there is no work going on here?" I asked.
"So sad!" the angel sighed. "After people receive the blessings that they asked for, very few send back acknowledgments."
"How does one acknowledge God's blessings?" I asked.
"Simple!" the angel answered. Just say, "Thank You, Lord."
I asked, "What Blessings should they acknowledge?"
"If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep, you are richer than 75% of this world."
"If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish,you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy."
"And if you get this on your own computer, you are part of the 1% in the world who has that opportunity."
Also....."If you woke up this morning with more health than illness... You are more blessed than the many who will not even survive this day.
If you have never experienced the fear in battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation... You are ahead of 700 million people in the world.
If you can attend a church without the fear of harassment, arrest, torture or death, You are envied by and more blessed than three billion people in the world.
If your parents are still alive and still married...You are very rare.
If you can hold your head up and smile, You are not the norm, You're unique to all those in doubt and despair."
"OK, now what? How can I start?"
If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing, Someone was thinking of you as very special and You are more blessed than over two billion people in the world who cannot read at all.
Have a good day, Count your blessings, and If you want, pass this along just to remind everyone else how blessed we all are.

Road map
What’s your response, when you have bad outcomes because you IGNORED good counsel? In your walk in LIFE, people will be put in your life to provide you with:
a road map to success;
a road map to good health;
a road map to a healthy mental state; and
a road map for relief from discomfort.
This advice always requires that YOU participate and probably make changes that allow the NATURAL state of health, wealth and joy to take over. The folk providing you with the road map have traveled the road of sorrow, lack of wealth and health and therefore are experts in recognizing the signs and symptoms in others. Instruction for positive thinking and positive living is always a GIFT so accept it and use it wisely. That person may never cross your path again and you will have missed the BLESSING that has your name on it.

Customer Service
I was at Home Depot over the weekend purchasing some items for my usual weekend projects. The young woman waiting on me at the cash register was talking on her cell phone as opposed to providing me with customer service. When her supervisor admonished her to hang the phone up she became very disgruntled. In my usual style I asked her why she was on her phone when she was in a position to provide customer service. I also reminded her how difficult it was to get and hold a job these days –to her credit she thanked me and told me to have a good day (uh-huh).
The same day I was shopping at Publix and the check out lines were all backed up so the manager called available personnel to bag. My “bagger” was the Meat Manager. After I did a double take he very enthusiastically bagged my groceries and then took them to my car. Our conversation centered on the “new” Publix culture of doing what ever it takes to bring customers back because, he said, Publix had been loosing customers to Sam's and Krogers and they decided that if they couldn’t compete on price they would compete on SERVICE.
What a contrast with respect to SERVICE and understanding the value of customers. Which example best fits your approach to our customer?
