Connect people

Hello Readers,

I am a trainer, a teacher, a coach, an educator, and a connector. You may say geesh, Marla that is a lot of titles, yes I agree it is. It is not about titles for me. Nothing brings me more joy than to help people get to where they need to be or where they want to be. One mantra I follow is from the words of one of the most well-known motivational speakers of all time Mr. Zig Ziglar (whom I was blessed to hear speak in person before he passed). Zig stated "If you help enough people get to where they want to be you will be well taken care of." I added a little of my words into this phrase. Recently I was in a training session with a young lady and she said “Marla maybe you can help me” (not sure what gave her the inkling I could assist her in any area aside from the training I had just provided, after all we had just met), however, she proceeded to trust me in asking for assistance. She stated that she is new to the city, a beginning artist, and that she wanted to get connected to the art community in the city. I viewed her website and she is NOT beginning artist by a long shot. I saw nothing but masterpieces. I said well darling you are in luck. I shared with her that I have a cousin who is an artist and she is well diverse in the art community. I sent a few texts and they were connected within a matter of a few minutes. The smile on her face was one of the highlights of my day. It felt great to connect her one step closer to her dreams of being a full time artist. Who have you connected today? As you can see it is not hard. If someone needs you then try your best to help them, trust me the reward always is in the giving. Don’t worry about your wants; you will be well taken care of. Ask me how I know :)

Service

Hello Readers,
 
Do me a favor and ask yourself who have you served  lately? Really, take some time to think about it. Did you serve someone today? If so great keep it going, if not ask yourself why? I believe we exist in the world for the sole purpose of helping and aiding others. Now you may ask but Marla what about my needs? Great question, ironically when you begin to place your care into the care and concerns of others somehow your needs are met. If you think serving is something hard to accomplish on a daily basis here is a list of simple things you can do to serve others:

 
1. Smile at 5 people today. You never know what a smile can do for others.
2. Open the door for someone else.

3. Compliment someone.
4. Ask someone how can you help them.
5. Yes as crazy as this one seems, let someone in during traffic.
 
This is a simple list to follow.
 
Happy serving

Problem Solvers

Hello Readers,

Have you ever heard these phrases? 

1. Some get it some don’t.

2. People are lucky.

3. They got the promotion but I did not.

I think you get the picture. All of these phrases and many others like them have one common denominator and that is YOU. As adults we CANNOT blame anyone for where we are in life. We are where we are because of the decisions we have made. We all get the same 24 hours in a day as Will Smith, The President, and Madonna just to name a few. Life is a choice. Yes I know things may not be the way we want them, but think about it, are we as adults ever satisfied? We achieve one goal and then we are off to achieve another goal. Why? Because we are problem solvers; we all have a unique ability to solve problems and help others. So please stop wasting time and blaming others. Use your talents and help others. Get out in the world and get busy. Stop waiting on the right time. Plan, Live, and Go. Remember someone is waiting on you to solve their problem, so do not keep them waiting.

Well this is it…

Hello Everyone and Happy 12/30!

Well here we are less than 48 hours to go. As I sat at my desk and wrote out my 2014 accomplishments (by the way I encourage you to do the same), I reflected back on the year I have had. There have been ups and many downs but as I viewed my list I noticed how much I accomplished. Therefore, I ask what is on your list?  What did you learn in 2014 that you can improve upon in 2015? What relationships grew stronger? How did you self-develop? Sure I could list all the negative things that happened this year in my life and there was a few such as getting laid off. I choose, however, to list a few of the GREAT accomplishments for this year. Here are some:

-Started blog in April

-Finished Master’s Degree

-Started G.E.D. Tutoring/Mentoring

-Read 41 books with a goal of only 12

-Taught my own material to various audiences

I share this not to brag but, to share a piece of me with the world and to simply encourage others. Write your 2014 accomplishments and share…

Thanks

MJW
