What a wonderful short message from Chad today. Many times in our lives we focus on how many challenges and struggles we have. The example Chad shares with all of us today should make us all think a little more about how many blessings we have vs challenges. Whatever we focus on fills our thoughts and mind. If we decided to focus on negative we will probably become negative. When we focus on all that we have we will find much more joy in this journey…. Count all of the blessings you have that $Money can’t buy…

An old beautiful Japanese Legend tells a wonderful story of a mother and son. Og Mandino teaches us all a wonderful story in this classic story. Who has left those branches for us? And who are you leaving branches for?

Occasionally on the echo I share things I think improve our daily lives. Today I feature a notebook I absolutely love. I like to write because I think it brings out my most creative side…… BUT I also like to have all my notes on file in Evernote, Dropbox, iCloud, or email. The Rocketbook is Awesome. Take a look. Disclosure: I make absolutely ZERO promoting this notebook. I just really like it.

Occasionally on the echo we share music video’s. Today I share a song from Danny Gokey. The message is HOPE…. No matter what you or I will go through there is HOPE in front of you. Take time to watch this powerful clip and never, NEVER lose Hope….

Dr. Covey has been such an inspiration to millions. One of the topics I struggle with daily are what he calls the 5 Emotional Cancers. Take a listen to these 5 and begin to 1st Acknowledge areas in your life where you struggle. Once we begin to realize our own challenges we can begin to change the direction of our life.

Great clip today on why we don’t get the work done we should. Take time to watch this 60 second clip. It will increase your actual work 50% in many cases.

What a great video today’s echo is. Chad is one of my favorites we feature on the echo. Take time to watch not only how Chad inspires not only his son but his son inspires him likewise.

It was 1975. Robert D. Hales was 42 years old, a rising star in the world of business having worked in top positions at major companies and one step removed from the top position at Chesebrough-Ponds when he received a note during an important board meeting that literally changed his life. The note informed him that Marion G. Romney, a member of the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, was waiting on the telephone to talk to him. “I asked to be excused, and the chairman looked at me as if there better had been a death in the family,” Elder Hales recalled with a chuckle. “When I returned from my conversation with President Romney, the chairman said, ‘You came back in here a different man.’”
