We are in the Giving season of the year for all people. While sending the last of my Holiday cards,  I reflected on the Principle of Giving.

The Principle of Giving says that every thing that you give out will come back to you 10 fold. By giving with a open heart, not expecting anything in return, amazing things will start happening to you.  This is a Law of the Universe. Chills are going up and down my spine as I write these words!

Just imagine for a moment…. Little things like a smile, a  hug that says “I love you” or  a “thank you” to say “I appreciate you”. These gestures come from your heart, which is TRUE giving!

So celebrate this Season with a real Spirit of Giving , even though times may be trying and you may not  be able to give as in the past. May the Love, Blessing and Joy take hold of you in this Season of Giving, carrying you into the New Year~!

I am embracing 2010 with  a renewed gusto!

I, Sandy, purchased Dan Robey’s book, “The Power of Positive Habits”. Along with the book I receive daily positive habits to improve my life. The following habits fits so well with this blog, I felt compelled to share it with you.

Give Your Loved One Greeting Cards on a Regular Basis

Benefits

Here is another good habit for men to acquire. Most men hate the idea of giving cards, but author Barbara De Angelis, Ph.D., an expert on relationships says “Think of cards as foreplay.” She also says, “Every survey response I received contained a reference to cards.”

It is apparent that women love cards, so make it a habit to give them regularly. Get creative: you can give her romantic cards, funny cards, you can even make up a card. Your benefits from this habit will be quite obvious. Try it and see.

Triggers

Buy an assortment of greeting cards and keep them in the glove compartment of your car or a desk drawer at work.

Great habit, right? I have a few additions to make this habit universal for all people!

1. Receiving a card is like receiving an unexpected call/visit from a long lost friend
2. Sending an impromptu card makes you feel good as well as the recipient of that card. Without knowing it, some of my cards have helped the recipient make a decision, heal or feel less alone
3. In business, greeting cards build those relationships that you want with your clients, create referrals, allowing you business to grow!

If you’ve been reading this blog regularly, you are aware that you don’t need a glove compartment full of cards to easily form this habit. You can sign up at http://www.sandysendfreecard.com and get an account to send cards in 60 seconds from your computer!

What is stopping YOU from becoming successful?

I just listened to the most amazing audio I’ve listened to in a very long time. It’s not for sale, so don’t worry, there isn’t going to be pitch.

Seriously, though, think about this for a minute. If you have been “at this”, meaning your home business, for years now and are still struggling, you have got to ask yourself some serious questions why.

What is the difference between YOU and somebody else?

Why is it that “other people” seem to “make it” and some don’t?

It’s not because of some “magic button” product, it’s not because of some “push button system” or some so-called latest and greatest tool.

Forget about “underachievers”, “the lazy way to riches” or any other lame marketing tactic that preys on your emotions.

Do you really want to be an underachiever and have people call you lazy?

Here’s the deal and pay close attention.

The difference between people who are struggling and people who are not is that those who are successful made a decision to be successful.

We all have 24 hours in a day, we all have circumstances and “stuff” that comes at us every single day.

It’s what YOU decide to do with that 24 hours and how YOU react to those circumstances which decides if you will move forward or stay behind.

That’s it. A simple decision to do whatever it takes to be successful.

It doesn’t matter how tall you are, how pretty you are or the kind of childhood you had. There are thousands of stories of famous and not-so famous people who decided to overcome their adversity.

Oprah Winfrey and Famous “Amos” immediately come to mind. “Sure, they’re famous” you may be thinking, but they weren’t always famous. They were both born into poverty and had horrendous childhoods, but they made a choice to overcome.

Then, there’s Sandy Morgan. Sandy Morgan is not so famous. She is an entrepreneur in a webased card company who was born with cerebral palsy. While she has very limited motor functions, yet she has 100% of her intellectual function. She can’t speak or walk, but she can use a keyboard.

Sandy may not be so famous, but she is very successful. She uses greeting cards to communicate with the world. She may not be able to use the spoken word with her mouth, but her brain and a computer allow her to use the written word.

I suppose if anybody has a reason to give excuses and live off of government assistance, it could be Sandy, but she chooses not to.

Sandy made a choice to be successful, to not live off of government handouts just because of her physical challenge. She uses Send-a-Card to build a business for herself. Go Sandy!

So, what is stopping YOU?

Life isn’t a dress rehersal. This is the real deal, folks. You either make the decision NOW or you don’t. One day, you’re going to wake up at 75 or 80 years old and the last thing you want to say to yourself is, “I wish I would have…”

You can either create results or create excuses.

Are you fired up yet? I hope so because I know I am.

So, what’s it going to be?
