Child's Play

Sunday, the day God rested,

Today was another awesome day. Hope yours was just as great. I rested all day and enjoyed Quality time with my wife and daughter. Family time is so important nothing else compares to it. We had some great friends over for dinner and it gave me some time to reflect on life.

As I watched my daughter play with their daughter I realized how pure the playing of a child is. it's not jealous, greedy, mean, self serving or complaining they don't gossip about other children's misery they just want to laugh and have fun. They don't complain about the weather, if they fall or accidentally get wet by sprinklers they don't stop playing and call it a day. Children don't let anything or anyone ruin their fun. They will not eat as long as their friend is still there and they can still play.

Now my friend needs to wake up early tomorrow so he lets his daughter know that it's time to go. Funny thing happened, first mom goes let's her know it's time, the little girl negotiates more time. My friend looks at his watch let's his wife know it's time to go, moms so cute she looks at him and says it's your turn I have told her a couple of times. My friend says OK, walks upstairs lets his daughter know it's time to go then he says I am not going to negotiate with you with a kind, caring voice. The little girl stays another 10 minutes. When she absolutely has to go and she knows it for sure, she starts to cry so does my daughter. They really love playing together.

You see a child's mission and goal is to play and have fun at all cost. They wont eat, sleep or let an accidental fall keep them from their goal. They will negotiate to stay and play longer and even cry to complete their mission. You see children are natural born sales people.

Here's the questions of the week. What happened to our natural born sales ability? How many times do you hear the word no before you quit? Once, twice or as many times as it takes to get your mission accomplished? Are you willing to not eat or sleep to get your goal accomplished? Will you negotiate for more time with your client to get your sale? Are you willing to take a fall and quickly get up to get the job done? And more importantly are you having fun while you are accomplishing your daily task?

Next week have fun enjoy your career. Set daily and weekly goals and check your progress often. If you need that extra sale, recruit, call or appointment do not give up. Give it your all, Dream as if you will live for ever. Work towards your goals as if this was your last day on earth. We have tried the Adult way of life is it working for you? Let's take a lesson from the children of the world. What do we have to lose to relearn the ability to have fun, not complain, if we fall get up quickly, if our closing skills are rusty to improve them. Let us live a youth full way of life.

Have a Blessed week,
