Whether it be the game of life, work or play…on paper, there can be favorites, and also a projected “Winner”.

But we don’t play on paper.

This is pretty cool, because when we play our game, we often times receive doubt, opposition or resistance from others – which sometimes gets in our heads.

But last time I checked – once the game starts, all the bets are off – maybe that’s why there no such thing as a “sure bet”.

And this is because when the game begins, it’s the focus, desire and determination of the players that produces the outcome…and not what they have done in past.

If not, create a beautiful Vision of what you can give, to maximize your potential, your life and the world.

If you already have one, or once you get one, you must convince yourself first…of the Vision.

That’s what entrepreneurs do, to rally the backing and the people.

Heck, Christopher Columbus, got 3 ships and a crew to sail over the edge of the earth, when it was believed to be flat at the time.

But you must convince yourself first, in order to allow your Vision to become reality..

Not Liked, for being myself, then loved for something I’m not”.

A good phrase for us to remember.

Being someone or something that we are not, takes consistent effort and can become very tiring…just because of the plain fact that we are trying to be something we are not and it’s just not natural.

But just like groups, teams or a Culture – they become self managing – because they attract folks that are the same.

So when we are being ourselves, we can trust that the people that are attracted to us, are attracted by who we are, and not who we aren’t.

Drove an ambulance in World War 1.

He also tried his hand at selling paper cups and then sold the multi-mixer for making milkshakes to Dick and Mac McDonald.

He never stood in line for a hamburger and was intrigued by the idea that a restaurant could sell 40 milkshakes at a time

The McDonald brothers offered the business to their children, but they didn’t want it.

Ray Kroc decided to buy a franchise, and then bought out the McDonald brothers for 1 million dollars each.

The rest is History – and now is the #1 fast food chain in the world.
