Great Moments vs. Great Stories

Here is an important piece of wisdom:

Everything in life is either a great moment or a great story.

Whatever you're going through right now - stop and think.

If it's not a great moment...  I promise you have a great story.

This wisdom may seem simple, but it has helped me out a lot in  life. I have A LOT of great stories and I can't wait to share them all with you.

    Sean, you are such a great story.
    Well for me my great stories are what I want to achieve in life, don't call me crazy or anything but I'm a big dreamer. And i'm still rather young so the possible and chance for them to happen is rather high, if you read my bucket list it's rather long. But anyhow I learned a lot this year, that my past has a lot of great stories and lesson's learned that could help a few young souls. And ain't that what life is all about or should be about? Helping people, and learning from them, when you help someone that makes a great story, or do the right thing even if it hurts. Cause hey being a holy man or woman does hurt at times, lol but in the end it's worth it.

    That’s great it’s something that I already use in my life I even thought maybe my life story and experiences might be worth a book lol but nobody would probably buy it.
    Anyway yea it’s a great way to use it in conversations when I first meet people and they ask me questions about my family or when I was younger I can fire back with some interesting things to say that normally leave people shocked or wanting to know more so yea take it from Sean and myself this is great advise and if you use it correctly it can be very useful thx Sean for putting this into words that make sense.

    AH hahhh.

    That's a big realization for me.

    It's a way we can zoom out and not be so stuck in the pain (with an optimistic view out).

    AWESOME THANKS!

    Hi Sean,

    I'm imbarrised to say this but I will share with you a goal that I have been trying to achieve for the last 25 years +, if you are interested.

    I'd rather not share it with anyome else but this is the only way to communicate with you I think.

    It is this, and it might sound corny but it is to make a million pounds. Before anyone laughs, I have been actively trying to do this for that long, really 'sad'!

    But what a great story to tell when [and if] I achieve it.

    Why has it been that long, so far? Probably a bunch of things, unawareness, wrong people to mix with, lack of capital, wrong business, been used and conned [true], information overload, whilst plodding along.

    In the end it's down to me to make it happen but I won't give up, in fact I'll die trying.

    Why have I got this goal? Well ever since I started a MLM business and saw people at meetings saying they are earning such and such amount a month, and going to 'millionaire trainings' etc, my mind never was the same since.

    Maybe it's only the people at the top that make the money. Whatever, my mind was streched and never went back to it's original position, so to speak.

    I have never shared this on the Internet before, maybe it's your warmth or something Sean:)

    I daren't put a website up here, too imbarrising.

    Thank you for your insights, knowledge, sincerety and help.

    Take care.

      I'm not sure I understand your goal, what do you want to achieve?

      I know what you mean man i to been trying to make money online now for a number of years i told all my friends and family that one day i would make a nice income from the internet and so far a few years later and still nothing its very embarrassing indeed.
      Anyway let me try and give you a tip instead of trying to get a million pounds why dont you try first to make £1 then try to make £100 per month and so on its very hard to make a million over night it just wont happen.
      For example my goal online was to make my first £1 my goal now is to make £200 which will make a huge difference in my life if and when i get £200 i would like to buy a car then my own little house etc etc.

    My great story:
    In August 2008, the dearest friend of mine in the whole world, DenaJoy had colon cancer. Then in September of 2008, Hurricane Ike hit Houston Texas and proceeded to severely damage everything in the first floor of our townhome. We had to go live in a converted garage (converted to studio) near a friend's house.

    DenaJoy had the cancer surgery in September, then, recovered with my and everyone's help, and I got a Tibetan master healer to work on her for four sessions, this cured the cancer, there has not been a reoccurrence to this date.

    We lived in the garage until January 2009, when we moved to Austin, Texas, to a place larger and nicer than the townhome. This was a great blessing!

    DenaJoy had complications from the surgery, adhesions, during most of 2009. From all of this she has been made aware of deep emotional work she needs to do. I feel this will turn out well for her spiritual growth.

    Again I feel I have a blessed life!! Within the realm of my necessities of life, house, food, love, spirit, I have it all.

    I am grateful for my blessings. I have yet to find the way to manifesting the great inventions to save the world or causing the means for this to be accomplished. By causing the means, I mean that money needs to flow, and for wealth to happen one needs to be a conduit for money flow. That's way giving without expectations of receiving is so important.

    Love, thoughts of loving 100% of the time,
    Dena Meier

    Hi Sean, You're truly an inspiration to me. I don't have a great story moment to share at this time however, I want you to know that what you have shared on your blog so far to me has been the best short bursts of wisdom and love that I have ever seen in all of my searches. I am truly grateful for Vishen's email with your link. I will continue to follow and share. Thank You....

    for most of my life of thought of my self as almost successful. These last years I have tried to accoumplish my goal of creating the business of my dreams. Bringing new professional and support staff did not help. It seemed as if I keep hiiring poeple that took advantage of me and did not perform.

    I have an opportunity of a life time coming up. Did I mention I am an urban planner? I and an environmental friend and associate have been invited to go to look at and plan a sustainable City. The City has some of the basics do but leaves much more to. We have the opportunity ti create a city that will make a new stabdard for the County and the world.

    I do not want anything to stop us.

    Thanks for listening.

    Michael
