Giving, what does the mean to you?
There are many charities out there but what do they really giving. There is over head and the people that are running the non-profit charity and they have to be making a profit to pay people, right? Oh yes, donations from people that want to be linked with charity for a tax write off. That is how they get paid but are claimed as none profit? Yes, I understand the loop whole but I have been to alot, I mean alot, of non-profit fundraisers for cancer and have been promised to have been paid, but I wasn’t. That is not giving in my opinion, that is taking!
Giving what counts
Do you ever wonder why that homeless people almost prefer to be and stay homeless? They can live for free and hang around the local shelter for free food. The can also do the noble thing and be a beggar. You give them money but I just want you realize that giving them money will help them for the next meal or the next hour! Isn’t that just covering up the symptom of being homeless?
Giving more than just a little
I want to use philanthropy to make this world better and not have to use a charity and just walk around and give like Peter did as told in “The Greatest Salesman in World” as he was getting ready to retire. Not because it was right or wrong but because it needed to be done for the karmic rule. Karmic rule is think about giving to others less fortunate than to put your self first. Giving is the the gift of giving and we all need to give even when we receive more than others.

What does it mean to have faith?
What is faith and what do we need it for? Think of these men building the empire state building back in the 1920’s or 81 years ago. Why did they sit up on those beams unharnessed to the steel and have no worries of death. Do you think It has to do something with faith? I this so, don’t you?
The definition according to the Dictionary on the Apple Iphone 4s is:
1) complete trust or confidence in someone or something.
2) strong belief in GOD or in the doctrines of a religion, based on spiritual apprehension rather than proof.
- a system of religious belief: the Christian Faith.
- a strongly held belief or theory: the faith that life will expand until it fills the universe.
What about faith inside of business?
I believe that everyone is entitled to pray to a higher guide (god) that they choose for help in business. right? What do my readers think? To have gain confidence from anywhere like the heavens above is honorable, right! or maybe you do not believe in any higher belief system and you have found a real thing that you have belief in.
By starting to Snowboard alot in High School and that turned into my belief or my faith.
Being on the Mountain 7 days a week constantly for up word of 10 years straight. I felt I learned some things like being in some scary situations and some situations to be proud of. My mountain became my church and the snow became my faith|religion.
What is your habit? Do you have bad habits that you would like to destroy? Go read Og Mandino’s Book titled, “The Greatest Secret In the World.” It will teach you how to break those habits.
What do you believe in or what is you faith?

The fanatics always wonder this question; “how did Michael Jordan become so successful, was it greatness or just luck.”
I really believe he became successful based on perseverance and consistancy. Most people only see his logo and see the jump man based on his successes. Many of the same people did not know that he got cut from his high school basketball team at Laney High School. He failed many times before he was graced with success.
greatness to accomplish no matter what people said
Question: Do most admires know his greatness got cut from his varsity high school team. Answer: He was passed over for the final spot on the varsity team when coach Clifton Herring decided he preferred 6’8″ sophomore Leroy Smith over Jordan. Jordan was quoted as saying, “It was embarrassing not making that team. He remembers being really mad, too, because there was a guy who made it that really wasn’t as good as me.” – from ESPN
What if he wasn’t passed up? Would he be “The greatest player ever.” I don’t think so because that lit a furry within him.
greatness requires constancy
Do you think MJ was born with greatness because I think not! I think he compressed his 10,000 hours or ten years into five years. From his 1 year as a senior on the varsity high school team to his 4 year stint and very highly recognized college career for the tar heels at north carolina with the win of the NCAA National Title. I don’t think he left the gym 7 days a week and tried to learn everything about basketball. That is the definition of greatness. right?
Michael used greatness to its fullest
Based on the leadership of greatness in the 1992 Olympics to his Chicago Bulls and his professional career in basketball that spanned almost 2 decades.
Yes, his first love is baseball so he tried to apply his greatness to that for LOVE. Do you blame him for the fact that he made $33.14 Million just to play basketball which does NOT include Air Jordan royalty on every shoe that was ordered.
Live in greatness and greatness with the right knowledge will come.
Make this the best day ever.
