I recently attended an Amway conference for the first time in almost two years and they played this song. I wept! I will share that the Amway business I started in 1999 has had more of an impact on my life than any other educational investment I've made. To stop and realize what a positive environment of encouragement and development can do for your attitude is incredible.
As my pastor put it so very well...we need knowledge and faith. How are you developing these two areas of your life?
Knowing that we need to have a reason to get up each day and choose to move forward sometimes through valleys and occasionally we are on mountain tops but either way it is our attitude that determines majority of our outcomes. As the song states we need to persist and do the next right thing anyways...
As I reflected upon why I started in Amway and why I am willing to build again the stark truth of wanting to have the money enough to free up my time to serve where I feel compelled to serve is a great goal. God will be glorified as I've come to terms with my definiteness of purpose and will build it anyway!
Investing my life in helping others find their God given vision come to fruition will be a life well spent. I pray you choose to develop your faith and knowledge and as for life's ups and downs...

"I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.
I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.
I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.
I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger.
I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.
I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye."

I so agree with this quote and have said several final good-byes over the years, each time thanking God for my time with that person and their impact on my life. As they say...it takes a minute to find a special person. An hour to appreciate them. A day to love them. And an entire life to forget them.
