Opportunity

Looks like I'm going to try to continue my Friday Focus using a blog.  This is new to me so we will see how it goes.  My hope is to keep it updated as much as possible every Friday.

This week I've read a lot about the word "opportunity".  I found a little section on one of my Don Meyer handouts that I found very useful.  I cut it out and now I have it hanging in my office.  Here is the message:

I shall pass through this world but once,
Any good therefore that I can do or any
kindness that I can show to any human
being, let me do it now.
Let me not defer or neglect it,
for I shall not pass this way again.

The concept behind this is that we all have an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of others.  On the handout it has a eye opening diagram.  If you positively influence 4 people in one year that influence over 17 years will or can create a chain reaction to influence 17,179,869,184 people.

My main point with this first Friday Focus Blog is this.  Seize the opportunity you have each day to make a positive influence in the lives of EVERY individual you interact with.  You have the ability to change the lives of many people.

Take care and God Bless,

Mr. Townsend
