Sharing the Love

Dear Friend,

Are you enjoying and benefiting from these Zignificance Moment emails? I hope so! In the last week, I have responded to well over 500 of you personally who replied to one of the Zignificance Moment emails. I love it! (But you have put me a few days behind on my follow up!)

Zignificance is about helping others do more than they thought they could.

The #1 lesson in life – part 2

Dear Friend,

We had so many responses to the Zignificance email I decided to break up the #1 lesson responses into two parts. Enjoy these great lessons from your fellow readers whoare on the same journey as you – to live a life of significance.

Legacy Moments

Dear Friend,

Legacy moments. They happen every day. Do you see them for what they are?

Your legacy is what you will be known for after you are gone. Your impact that ripples through time, generation to generation.

Better than Good!

Dear Friend,

Whenever someone asked Dad how he was doing, he would automatically reply: “Better than good!”

He would say it with a smile and with enthusiasm behind it. Before you knew it, the mood had changed and gone up just a little bit.

The truth matters – just saying

Dear Friend,

What is going on in our world? It seems like more and more we hear things like: “Whatever people believe about who they are is ok. That is their truth for themselves. Who are we to contradict them?”

And then the next thing we hear is: “All we need is love.

BAAM!

Dear Friend,

I have heard it said that an average company with a lot of momentum succeeds beyond its ability, and a great company without any momentum performs average, at best. Momentum creates opportunity and success.

Our personal life is the same.

The Gratitude Journey

I would like to invite you on a journey with me. Dad said this:

"Gratitude is the healthiest of all human emotions. The more you express gratitude for what you have, the more likely you will have even more to express gratitude for."
Zig Ziglar

Research done by Phillippa Lally and released in the European Journal of Social Psychology indicates that it takes 66 days to form a new habit.

Gravy on Top

Dear Friend,

You have heard this expression, or ones like it. It means “a little bit extra.”

In Louisiana Cajun country they call it lagniappe. It’s the bonus, the unexpected.

It’s the cherry on the sundae. The hand­written thank ­you note.

Just Start

Dear Friend,

Something big is on your heart.

Just Start.

I don’t know how.
I have never done that before.
What if I look like a fool?

Just Start.

Other people do this sort of thing, not me.
I barely know anything about it.

Input Determines Outcome

Dear Friend,

I have learned a lot of lessons in my life. Some I have had to learn more than once.

Perhaps the biggest lesson I learned from Dad was that when I choose the right input into my mind, I am also choosing the outcome of that input.

A Little Extra

Dear Friend,

What if, in every interaction, you gave “a little extra”?

At lunch with a friend you finish the meal with a simple phrase: “I don’t think I have told you how much these times with you mean to me. I am grateful for our friendship.
