I was reading this the other day & I thought I would share it with you,
- When I was young and free my imagination had no limits, I dreamed of changing the world. As I grew older and wiser, I discovered the world would not change, so I shortened my sights somewhat and decided to change only my country. But it, too, seemed immovable. As I grew in my twilight years, in one last desperate attempt, I settled for changing only my family, those closest to me, but alas, they would have none of it. And now as I lie on my deathbed, I suddenly realized: If I had only changed my self first, then by example would I have changed my family. From their inspiration and encouragement, I would then have been able to better my country and, who knows, I may have even changed my world.

As I read these words - it reaffirmed what I'm doing in my life these days.. I encourage you to invest in the people in your life & instead of asking.. "What can this person do for me?" - ask that person - "What can I do for you?"
It'll be your greatest Investment... trust me!!!
I Got Luv For You!!!
your constant companion,
