A Hundred Years From Now

Application in your life:

The dream you decide on should be acted upon quickly and be considered a long dream. The key to dreaming big is thinking long. And the bigger the dream the longer the timeline.
George Washington and Abraham Lincoln both had dreams that are still relevant today, hundreds of years later. George Washington when going into the Battle of Long Island he said, "The fate of unborn millions will now depend, under God, on the courage and conduct of this army."
Abraham Lincoln also stated when trying to abolish slavery only needing two votes said this, "The abolition of slavery by constitutional provisions settles the fate, for all...time, not only of the millions now in bondage but of unborn millions to come -- a measure of such importance that those two votes must be procured."

What are you doing today that will make a difference one hundred years from now?

Biggest Takeaway:

Every dream, no matter how big, starts out as a seed. And like a seed, it often goes underground for a season. That's when we get discouraged because we don't see any physical evidence of the dream's progress. But it has to take root before it can bear fruit.

Quotes:

You are planting seeds that someone else will harvest, just as you are harvesting seeds that someones else planted.
If we don't honor those who have gone before us, we rob them of the opportunity to bless those who come behind.

Integrity, Maturity, Abundance Mentality. Integrity is the values we place ourselves into. Maturity is the balance between courage and consideration. Abundance Mentality is the paradigm that there is plenty out there for everybody. A character rich in integrity, maturity, and the Abundance Mentality has a genuineness that goes far beyond technique, or lack of it, in human interaction. If we search deeply enough within ourselves-beyond the scripting, beyond the learned attitudes and behaviors- the real validation of Win/Win, as well as every other correct principle, is in our lives.

Ways To Effectively Understand People

Key Points: There are four ways developmental stages to listening and understanding people: Mimic Content=Mimicking content is easy. You just listen to the words that come out of someone's mouth and you repeat them. You're hardly even using your brain. Rephrase the Content=This time, you have put the meaning into your own words. Reflect Feeling=Now you're not paying as much attention to what they're saying as you are to the way they feel about what they are saying. Rephrase the Content and Reflect the Feeling= Include both the second and the third stage. People want to be understood. And whatever investment of time it takes to do that will bring much greater returns of time as you work from an accurate understanding of the problems and issues and from the high Emotional Bank Account that results when a person feels deeply understood. Then Seek To Be Understood: The early Greeks used these three words to contain the essence of seeking to first understa...
