Hey, can I please have 15 seconds of his time? The two others waiting said, go ahead.

It lasted two minutes. Leaving his office, apologized to the secretary and the two folks waiting – for taking longer than promised.

Walking (half skipping) backwards down the hall, hands folded and bowing graciously to them, she quickly said, you’re like a 12 year old, I love your energy.

I said whoa, wait, and walked quickly toward them and said, you know what it is? It’s blessings. Being fully conscious – all day everyday. I don’t want to waste a single day.

They both seem astonished, smiled… and then thanked me for saying that.

It seemed like a ‘Church’ moment.

Clever Church business card
Do not swim alone

 

The Pastor said planting a church of your own is like starting a business.

And I replied, “Yeah, just because you build it doesn’t mean people will come”.

Praying for every entrepreneurial spirit to stay motivated and focused today because the real world (and competition) will be like a pack of hungry wolves, aiming to pull you down.
