			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-493" title="chasing-rabbit" src="http://simonpreacher.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/chasing-rabbit.jpg" alt="chasing rabbit Being Purposeful" width="500" height="274" />Do you woke up each morning overwhelmed with your work load? You discover there is more to do and don&#8217;t even know where to start? If you answered yes, I want to tell you, you are not alone. Many people I have worked with, have been in the same dilemma.</p>
<p><strong>Lets Talk About Rabbits<br />
</strong><br />
I have a message to convey to you today, &#8220;<em><strong>Stop chasing two or more rabbits at the same time!</strong></em>&#8221; The prospects of you catching either rabbit are minimum. When you go to the field where the rabbits are; choose one to go after and then pursue it until you catch it. In the field that is full of rabbits be careful of the temptation of trying to chase too many rabbits at the same time. You won&#8217;t catch one! At the end of the day, you will be tired &amp; weary without any rabbit to show for it.</p>
<p><strong>Back To The Real World!<br />
</strong><br />
When you have an assignment to fulfill, do everything you can to finish it. Be careful of any disturbances that may emanate in your way to distract you from accomplishing your assignment at hand. Don&#8217;t be purposeless, If anything good comes along the way, put it aside until you complete your current assignment.</p>
<p><strong>Story About Once A Purposeless Writer</strong></p>
<p>I know of a guy who is a writer. His writing career didn&#8217;t start very well. When he made a decision to be a writer, he started working on his first project. As he was going about his writing business, other ideas came to light about new topics he should write about. So he dropped his first project and decided to pursue a new one. These new hot projects continued to come his way and he kept shifting from one assignment to another without finishing any of them. He spent 10 years without even publishing a book. He was gifted and broke at the same time! 10 wasted years and nothing to show for it! That is what I call lack of purpose.</p>
<p><strong>Be Purposeful</strong></p>
<p>There are people like that who lack purpose in life. Don&#8217;t be a victim like the guy above, It&#8217;s time wasting and another form of procrastination. You have to become a decisive person. Make up your mind as to which assignment to undertake, set tasks that are meant to cause you to finish your assignment on time. If you come across difficulties, change your strategy but don&#8217;t change your decision to accomplish your assignment.</p>
<p>If you feel overwhelmed by your assignment, break it into small manageable pieces and set small tasks that have time limits. Concentrate on one task at a time and make sure you complete them on time. Those who have climbed the tallest mountains will tell you their secret to their success, they took one step at a time until they arrived at the peak of that mountain.</p>
<p><strong>Bottom Line </strong></p>
<p>Make up your mind which assignment to undertake, pursue that assignment, set manageable goals, concentrate on one task at a time, be courageous, passionate, bold, tenacious, determined and diligent. If other worth-pursuing assignments come along the way, put them aside until you accomplish the assignment at hand. You will succeed! Yes you will!</p>
<p><strong>One Rabbit At A Time, Will Do The Trick!</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I would like to define validation in my own way. I believe VALIDATION simply mean APPRECIATION. Being able to appreciate someone no matter what they have done or what they look like. My question is, do you find time to validate those people around you? Do you find time to just simply look at something that is good in other people and just appreciate that instead of looking at their faults? My point is, you can make a difference in people&#8217;s lives appreciating them, putting a smile in their face, rather than blaming and criticizing them. Watch this movie&#8230;..I don&#8217;t wanna say anything more. After this movie, you will understand the power and impact that emanates from validation. Let your life be changed from TODAY. BEGIN VALIDATING OTHER PEOPLE IF YOU HAVEN&#8217;T BEEN DOING SO. You will make a great impact in their lives. The LOVE will spread across the world. VALIDATION IS CONTAGIOUS &amp; IT&#8217;S GOOD. SPREAD VALIDATION</p>
<p>[youtube]http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Cbk980jV7Ao[/youtube]</p>
<p>As you can see from the movie, people are simply looking for someone who can just appreciate what they are doing. They are not asking for much. It&#8217;s not your money, or your talent they are looking for. They just want to see you appreciating them. Look around, Begin validating those around you. <strong>Tell them how <span style="color: #ff0000;">AWESOME</span> they are. How <span style="color: #ff0000;">GREAT</span> they are. How<span style="color: #ff0000;"> FANTASTIC</span> they are. How <span style="color: #ff0000;">IMPORTANT</span> </strong><strong>they are </strong><strong>and that you <span style="color: #ff0000;">APPRECIATE</span> them from the bottom of your heart</strong>.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Validate your wife from today onwards.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Validate your parents/guardians from today </strong><strong>onwards.</strong></li>
<li><strong> Validate your kids from today </strong><strong>onwards.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Validate your relatives from today </strong><strong>onwards.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Validate your employees from today </strong><strong>onwards.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Validate your business partners from today </strong><strong>onwards.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Validate your customers/clients from today </strong><strong>onwards.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Validate your community leaders from today </strong><strong>onwards.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Validate those in authority </strong><strong>onwards.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Validate your neighbors </strong><strong>onwards.</strong><strong> Who is my neighbor you might say&#8230;.Go and read the story of the good Samaritan, you will know who your neighbor is!</strong></li>
<li><strong>Validate, Validate, Validate don&#8217;t look for validation back, do it from your heart.</strong></li>
</ul>
<ol>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Your respect will go far with validation. </strong></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Your business will grow wide and large with validation.</strong></span></li>

<li><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>You&#8217;ll change someones&#8217; life and boost their self-esteem with validation.</strong></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Validation is a Difference Maker.<br />
</strong></span></li>
</ol>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Don&#8217;t underestimate the POWER &amp; IMPACT OF VALIDATION</strong></p>
<p>Always To Your Full Potential</p>
