Top 10 Distinctions Between Winners and

Posted on by Dr Bill Toth

Good Morning Team – I LOVE books and am always fascinated when people give me the gift of reading. This weekend I had the pleasure of reading this little book: Top 10 Distinctions between Winners and Whiners by Keith Cameron Smith

10. Winners take responsibility. Whiners play victim
09. Winners can have what they desire. Whiners want what they can’t have
08. Winners find a way. Whiners find an excuse
07. Winners brighten a room by entering. Whiners brighten a room by leaving
06. Winners listen twice as much as they talk. Whiners talk twice as much as they listen
05. Winners enjoy life’s journey’s. Whiner enjoy only the destinations and only briefly.
04. Winners build friendships. Whiners destroy friendships
03. Winners think big. Whiners think small
02. Winners are focus minded. Whiners are scatterbrained

01. Winners Create positive meanings. Whiners create negative meanings.

Shakespeare said; “Nothing has any meaning except the meaning we give it.”

Every Day Represents – Part 3

Posted on by Dr Bill Toth

Good Morning Team – Something different to each of us, just like Freedom.

Last night was the 5th night of going to bed with an orange glow to the east. And yesterday was another fascinating day of observing human nature. People are incredible creatures that generally do the best they can with the resources they have.

And after 4 days of difficult breathing, itchy burning eyes and living with the fight or flight response running along in high gear…..some people are beginning to react vs respond to the uncertainty of the situation. All too often the TV news is late, incorrect or an outright lie and misinformation contributes to the stress.

In situations like this where external pressure is compressed into short periods of time it is easy to observe apparent “cause and effect”. And I am once again reminded of the words of my good friend W Mitchell;

“It’s NEVER what happens to you, it’s ALWAYS what you DO about it that matters”

At this moment we remain safe in our home. I/we left for a few hours because of heavy smoke, and during that time out I/we witnessed a few humans misbehaving and much more of what created America, what saved America after 1929, the Dustbowl – and what will continue to make America GREAT – People Serving others with creativity and love.

As independent business owners every day we each make a decision or a series of decisions to actively make a difference in our life, our families and our communities, – by collectively participating in something greater than each or all of us.

Make today a GREAT Day!

Every Day Represents part 2

Posted on by Dr Bill Toth

Yesterday the fires to the east of us touched off a pipeline explosion, thus causing it to “rain” black oily soot for several hours. Oh yes and that wonderful smell. (I predict 3-4 weeks from now doctor’s offices will see a big surge in “respiratory illnesses”, which may be mistakenly attributed to “early flu season”.)

At midnite the red glow in the sky to the east of us continues to remind us that apparently Mother Nature is suffering from “Hot Flashes”.

Every Day part 2 = Perseverance, Prayer, Power is Organized Effort.

Something different to each of us, just like Freedom.

Yesterday I was 2 hours into a 5 hour drive to give a presentation when my darling wife got the call to “pack up and be ready to leave” because the fires were coming closer. By the time I got back to the house (it didn’t take 2 hours to get back) she had done most of what needed to be done. She’s an awesome woman.

At this moment we remain safe in our home, we left for a few hours because of heavy smoke, and during that time out I witnessed what created America, what saved America after 1929, the Dustbowl – and what will continue to make America GREAT – People Serving others with creativity and love.

I/we witnessed families and neighborhoods determined to serve others with whatever resources they have. Shared trailers and trucks moved enormous amounts of people, pets, livestock and possessions. Fences were opened or cut and pastures shared so animals can flee. Shelters were opened, staffed and stocked in churches, schools, fairgrounds and buildings made available for that purpose. Law officers from other communities came to assist with traffic and more. Firefighters from “everywhere” moving equipment, doing their best and even the Army from Fort Hood. People Serving Others. Many Miracles. There is immense Power in Organized Effort.

Generally, with flooding you can make sandbags or sit on your roof; with tornadoes you can hide in a basement. With fire devouring 300 feet of forest in less than a minute you just grab what you can and go. It’s different, it’s a bit surreal.

As independent business owners we find ourSelves in a similar position. As individuals – every day we each make a decision or a series of decisions to actively make a difference in our life, our families and our communities, – by collectively participating in something greater than each or all of us.

Thus, Every Day Represents you and I – individually and collectively starting a new life with new opportunities to connect with and serve others.

Make today a GREAT Day!
