Maxwell started off reminding us all what Napoleon said years ago.

Napoleon said ‘Leaders are dealers in Hope’.

If you are a parent, if you are a coach, if you are in guiding people lives in any way you must nourish hope in the lives of those around you. By doing so you are blessing their lives because:

Hope gives us light when it is dark.

Hope gives us strength when we feel weak.

Hope gives us meaning when we think life has lost all meaning.

Hope makes the impossible seem possible and increases the likelihood that all will work out.

A person without hope is as close to death as he will ever be.

Hope will carry you on when you don’t have the energy to go on.

To have Hope is the best decision you will ever make.

Now I don’t read books anymore.

I study them.

As I sit reading I have a pen in hand and I take notes just like when I used to do research in university.

I know now, as you most likely do too, that I will learn lots more of what I am reading when I take the time to think and takes notes about what I am reading.

If you don’t think my advice is powerful enough ask Harvey Mackay best selling author of books like Swim with the Sharks Without Being Eaten Alive. Harvey is one very successful businessman who follows this same approach to learning the content of books.

If you only read personal development books right now and you find that the reading is making very little impact in your life then start studying the content today.

You have everything to gain.

Your friend on the journey,

I really enjoy all the experiences that come as part of being a father. I have grown and been made grow as a person as my children bring to me new parenting experiences [if you are a parent you can fill in this blank with your own words].

Just this last week I was out playing football with one of my children and right in the middle of the fun I had a thought. This is a ‘Millionaire Moment’ – my heart and spirit was telling my mind this was a valuable and in a sense priceless experience.

We all have what I will call ‘Millionaire Moments’ – moments that even a million dollars could not create or replace.

Take some time today and look at your life, what are your “Millionaire Moments’?

Once you know what they are seek them out more frequently in your daily actions.

Enjoy a wonderful day,

David
