2012 I believe will bring new things in new ways with new expectations. I recently heard someone tell me that it is important that we don't make people (or things) our "priority" that make us an "option." I thought about this for several days and it really hit me. When I was having lunch with a friend and I shared this saying with him he said, "do you know who said that?" I responded no! He said Colin Powell. Thank you PAT!
Of course knowing my personality I had to go and look this up. When I went to google this is what I found. The less you associate with some people, the more your life will improve. Any time you tolerate mediocrity in others, it increases your mediocrity. An important attribute in successful people is their impatience with negative thinking and negative acting people. As you grow, your associates will change. Some of your friends will not want you to go on. They will want you to stay where they are. Friends that don't help you climb will want you to crawl. Your friends will stretch your vision or choke your dream. Those that don't increase you will eventually decrease you. Never make someone a priority when you are only an option for them. Excellence is not an exception, it is a prevailing attitude!" Thank you Mr. Powell.
We are continuing to grow under the umbrella of Wendy's Enterprises. We continue to be part of the community through community relations, strategic alliances, event management and consulting. On the other side of the coin we are working to enhance the lives of women and girls through the building of their self esteem by teaching life skills and mentoring. To learn more about what we are doing at Forgiving For Living, Inc., visit www.forgivingforliving.org. Finally, please visit the "Where's Wendy" page to keep posted on where I am speaking, teaching or leading a workshop all around the theme of "forgiveness" or "empowerment."
We wish you all the best in 2012. Don't be afraid to shed the things that hold you back. It's okay if you make your life, vision, purpose and dreams your priority. I would love to hear from you. Hit me up via email at wendy.gladney@gmail.com. You can also keep up with what I'm involved with weekly through Facebook, Twitter, The Los Angeles Sentinel, 102.3 KJLH Radio on Friday mornings @ 5:00am or through wendygladney.blogspot.com.
