“A person only begins to become the person he wants to be when he ceases to whine and revile, and commences to search for the hidden justice which regulates his life.” – As A Man Thinketh

The word whine means to complain in a childish fashion, (you may know some people that “want some cheese with their whine?” –while revile means to condemn, despise, berate.

When we whine and revile we give power to that which we revile and whine about. We cease to be in charge of our life.

If you are not successful don’t blame your mother, father, culture, education etc!
If you are overweight don’t pawn it on genetics, mother, father, illness.
Please, step out of the dark ages…. don’t fool yourself any longer!

So you are not making the kind of success you want… ?
Do a self evaluation… assess what skills you have and decide you are going to put them to their highest use!
If after your evaluation, you realize that your income is equal to the lack of skill development… then my friend, it is time to re-invent yourself and learn – acquire – and put to use the skills that will allow you to earn greater income.

Begin today to develop the necessary character to make your circumstances instead of allowing the circumstances to make you.

Know in your being that you influence the whole of your life, stop and consider the ‘WHY’ you created a situation, rather than saying, “why me?” This heightened awareness will direct you to look inside of yourself for answers.

The ‘why me’ people, fail to truly answer the question … they fail to challenge themselves to go from average to fortune… they fail to do the uncomfortable until it becomes comfortable.

A quote from George Bernard Shaw: “People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get on in the world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can’t find them, make them.”

Daisy Says: Begin today to take responsibility for all of it, remember you are in control of it all.

Fostering teamwork is really important to me. In my years as a police officer every day teamwork was paramount; police officers are exposed to myriads of situations where the body of a team is needed for the survival of the one.

Every person in the team is vital, from the police officer responding to a crisis, to the back up that is needed to maintain the peace, the dispatcher ensuring that units are dispatched to proper locations, sergeants that are aware of the zone and where each of the police officers are etc etc.

At The Helpful Hands Foundation we are very fortunate that the minds and souls that have come together share this value and together we create a work culture that values collaboration.

In a teamwork environment, people recognize, and even assimilate, the belief that “none of us is as good as all of us.” (High Five)

The Helpful Hands Foundation values diverse people, ideas, backgrounds, and experiences. Embracing the understanding and belief that thinking, planning, decisions and actions are better when done through cooperation.

Without Presenters and Event Coordinators the community is not enriched.
Without Field Counselors the Mitigation Team would have nothing to do.
Without the Mitigation Team, Field Counselors would not be effective.
Without the Leadership Team addressing concerns and challenges as they arise, the functions become stressful.
Without the Organization the task of serving the many becomes insurmountable.

Team Work is the reason for our success, “helping one hand at a time” starts with each member helping each other through the challenges as they arise. This energy of GOODWILL is received by those that we serve.

Daisy Says: It is not about the one success, it is about the WHOLE succeeding in helping the one.

Ocean spray, white sandy beach, seagulls gliding gently overhead… just got back from a serene walk at Smyrna Beach, FL.

One of the things that I found so interesting … that unlike many of the South Florida beaches, in Smyrna Beach you can actually drive your car on the beach and pick a spot for the day.

Area Info: Blue skies meet over 13 miles of white sand in New Smyrna Beach, historical and cultural sites also make New Smyrna Beach noteworthy: the Turnbull and Sugar Mill Ruins, the Eldora State House and the Ponce Inlet lighthouse.

Daisy Says: Happy Sunday.
