What decides wealth?
One word.
Decisions.
Your life today is the result of the decisions you've made yesterday.
Your future will be the result of the decisions you make today.
In today's Motivational Monday, I share how changing your decisions can change your destiny.
Pat Mesiti
Dear Pat,
Your steadfast encouragement and dedication to guiding your community towards fulfilment of our shared goals is a continued blessing of inestimable value. Thank you for your faith in Christ, your wisdom and discernment.
I would greatly appreciate your help to reconnect with a mentor for myself and daughters. I have signed up to brilliant initiatives to which you have introduced us, but confess to having allowed other pressing commitments to take up most of my time and headspace.
A Christian NGO and registered charity for which I am officially the National Director, was made my responsibility when our board split. I am feeling overwhelmed and would be extremely grateful for rescue. My attempts to refresh previous contacts have not been successful.
With thanks and blessings,
Elisabeth Karen Bos
Dear Elisabeth, Thank you for your beautiful and heartfelt message. We’re truly grateful for your kind words, and we’re sorry to hear how much you’ve had to carry. Please know that we’re hearing you, and we’ll do what we can to help you reconnect with the right mentor and support.
Never a truer wood spoken Pat. As an Australian inventor of the year 1991. I can vouch for that,however, after a life of ups and downs, more of the latter, you find conviction and passion and a driving force of death before dishonour. But found a knowledge and dislike of a word my son called me in his second year of uni. His teacher selected MY COMPANY,to do a class project on.boy I thought what an honour ,that later changed,my son come home months later to show me their findings.
He started weeks later to mention entrepreneur
Wow what a happy ending ! My ego exploded.
Months later he told me to look it up in the old dictionary, mmmm to my horror I instantly hate that word to this day,and have never accepted or acknowledged it since.
Basically it says I headed off on an adventure without the resources to ever complete the mission.
My son took over the bussiness next offshoot, still running today for 22 years,
Yeap it took that long, so I guess there other ways too
Persistence, a never give up attitude,a belief in one selve, and slowly spending the profit of the first went to the second which funded the third and so on .
You must have the patience of a saint waiting till all the debts are gone,then some wealth starts to transpire,then more and more.
Suddenly at 59 your told you have the big C ,time for healing your self,time to reflect,time to recover..
Life needs a rethink, life has new meanings
Your told after 5 years of pet scans your fully recovered, no remission,you have totally a cancer free body, now she said.
Well you get a second chance, make the most of it.
Now at 70 I accept being labled a successful entrepreneur, But only just. I headed off on on that adventure with a belief that I could build that system and make it work, I just had no idea how I was going to eventually find the money,but I believed in my self I could earn it along the way……some how inventing more new things I’m sure you have an easier and faster way than I
Cheers mate,love your work.
Hi Bruce, Thank you for sharing that with me. What a remarkable journey — your persistence, resilience and belief in yourself really come through in your story. I appreciate you taking the time to share it, and your kind words mean a lot. Cheers, Pat
