I have a confession to make. I have about as much facial expression as a rock. My face "excited" and my face "sad" look almost the same, which is to say they both look like more normal face.

On the other side of the coin, Conia Wright, who is one of our team members, has facial expressions that put the bright lights of the billboards in Times Square in New York City to shame.

Dear Friend,

The scene: Small town in Mississippi, middle of the Great Depression, year 1933.

The atmosphere: almost everyone was poor, everyone helped each other, racial prejudice ruled the day for most people.

Main character: Widowed mother of 12 with a 5th grade education.

Dear Friend,

I get a lot of feedback and questions from people concerning “what” they do for a living. Sometimes they are looking for advice on if they should change their job or career path. Sometimes they don’t feel that “what” they do is meaningful.

Dear Friend,

Accountability.

Yes, that is the “A” word.

We all need accountability. Yet almost no one likes it.

Few things are more important to success than accountability.

Dear Friend,

What is your motive?
What do you really want?
What are you hoping to achieve?
Why do you want to achieve that?

In sales we call this the why behind the why.
If a client asks us to do a two-day sales training class for their team, we ask them what results they are looking for.

We all have a story to tell.

Are you sharing your story?

The story we tell ourselves is the one that determines if we will share our story, and what we will share.

What story are you telling yourself?
I can or I can’t?
I wish or I will?
I will do it now, or I will do it later?
Nobody cares, or someone is counting on me?

You get the picture.

Dear Laurie,

“If you aim at nothing you will hit it every time.” Zig Ziglar

What are you aiming at?

Is it written down?

Will what you’re aiming at change your life? Start a wave? Help build your legacy?

Go ahead.

Today is Memorial Day in the United States. Today is the day we remember and honor the men and women who gave their lives while serving our country in the military.

Dear Friend,

I got well over 100 responses from you on the question I asked a little over a week ago. The question: What is the number one lesson you learned in life?

Many of you asked to hear what our Zignificance readers said, so here you go – just a small sample, with more coming tomorrow!

#1- Rejection is often Redirection.

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.

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.

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.
