Stop and smell the roses!

14 replies
Hey all,

I just wanted to share this pic I took today with you because the minute I saw it it reminded me of the warrior forum and success. Everyday I go to this cemetary and walk a few laps. I started doing it to cool off as a stress releiver after leaving my day job every night. Before I would go home I would go here and walk and relieve the stresses that my day job had caused me. I have been a recieving manager in a depatment store for most my life. It's one of those jobs that kills you alittle more each and every day. I hated that job and honestly what my life had become because of it. In my busy city this cemetary was the quietest most calming place you could find and it did a great job of relaxing me.

Anyway today I saw this flower, every flower on this tree was dead except for this one and ironically it was in a cemetary. So even though surrounded by death this flower stood tall and it stood out like a sore thumb. It reminded me of the warrior forum and success because successful people are always the last one standing, failure after failure we need to keep standing and keep going.

So I stopped to "smell the roses" today and figured since you couldn't be there I'd bring it to you hope this story wasn't too corny for ya.

Keep on keepin on!
To your success,
-Chris

    Hey Chris
    You posted this in your "How i made $3000 in 3 days thread"
    what happened to it?
    You said you were going to reveal all today?
    Cheers

    Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

      Yea thought this was also a good place to share it. I am working on the proof video right now as we speak. Sorry woulda posted it earlier but had an endoscopy today not fun. Anyway will get that video posted asap, also not sure what happened to my $3k in 3 days thread, guess the moderators thought my story was a fairytale as well.

    Really appreciated your insight here... so much so that I joined your mailing list!

    I think when you happen upon something like this, it happens for a reason... a small spark of inspiration when so many things and people around us seem full of negativity!!
