We have opportunities that were not available many years ago,

Opportunities that were not necessarily available to our parents…

The great challenge is identifying these opportunities

and entering the doors that lead to them

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Said, “If a man can write a better book, preach a better sermon, or make a better mousetrap than his neighbor, though he builds his house in the woods, the world will make a path to his door.”

I want us at Patricia

to be so utterly good at what we do,

that the world would have no choice than to stop and take notice..

I read somewhere

If you cannot be a tree you can be a shrub

If you cannot be a highway you can be a street

If you cannot be the sun you can be a star

this message ultimately says be the best of whatever you are.

Set out to do the most

set out be a great agent

a great team member

A great manager

Do your job so good that no man alive or dead would do it any better…

Today we trade gift cards/bitcoins to name a few

Even if we Decide to sweep streets at Patricia

We should sweep streets like Michelangelo painted pictures

Sweep streets like Shakespeare wrote poetry

Sweep streets like Messi Plays Football

Sweep streets so well that the hosts of angels in heaven stops and says here lies a team of great street sweepers.

Excellence

Excellence, is not something you just stumble on or come across…

You have to be intentional,

What I’ve found is, it is not so difficult to do excellent work.

One of the major keys is strategy…

when I say strategy, it might seem a little far fetched

but strategy basically means Planning your steps

Let me take it to the Bible

Proverbs 14:15

A simple man believes anything, but a prudent man gives thought to his steps

The term prudent means; acting with or showing care and thought for the future.

So therefore, this means…

A prudent man gives great consideration on what steps he needs to take…

“STRATEGY”…

everything that is worthwhile, took/takes careful planning…

Take the initiative

The hands of the diligent rules.

The same way you know, nobody is going to offer you a job, you have to apply for a job…

You have to initiate things

Ultimately,

In your life’s blueprint

Should be a deep belief

In your own divinity

Your own worth

Always know that you count

Always know that you have a voice and it would be heard,

And always know that your work at Patricia, has ultimate significance.

Someway, in your own words, in your head, you should be able to say and really believe the words…

I am beautiful

As we move on to achieve excellence…

it’s not going to be a smooth ride.

Part of learning how to fly

Is learning how to deal with the turbulence

It’s a part of life

It’s a part of the journey…

We must keep moving

We must keep doing the most.

Have a wonderful week.
