Live your Passion To take from earth without thinking of what is lost and what is gained is antithesis of life. We are but visitors entrusted to pass on intact all earths wonderment to the next generation of life… All life is sacred all life is self purpose. ادريس جاسم العبودي Idris Jassim Al-Oboudi 1985

Live your Passion Live, Learn, Love and Leave a Legacy each day To make money we loose our health and then to restore our health we loose money .

So please remember: Live simply, Love generously, Care Deeply, Speak Kindly, Leave the rest and time will tell.

Live, Learn, Love and Leave a Legacy each day

To make money we loose our health and then to restore our health we loose money .

We live as if we are never going to die and we die as if we never lived .

The happiest people don't have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything they have... So please remember: Live simply, Love generously, Care Deeply, Speak Kindly, Leave the rest and time will tell.

Live, Learn, Love and Leave a Legacy each day Remember - the richest person is not the one who has the most, but the one who needs the least.

Remember - the richest person is not the one who has the most, but the one who needs the least.

It is the light of imagination puling us out of the darkness of despair.

It is about There are two very powerful mind muscles, one is memory, and the other is imagination. Memory informs our knowledge; imagination inspires our soul…Overcome fear of failure and negative memories by imaginations of success. Fear in many ways is imagined things appearing real. Memory is finite, imagination is abundance.

It is about Leaders, use your imagination not only to uplift yourself but to inspire change in the human condition. Leadership is about ACTION not POSITION & TITLE, leadership is using your imagination to provide Vision, Direction, Empowerment, Understanding and Support, creating synergy in defining, accomplishing and measuring Goals/Objectives but most of all leadership is about being Pro-Active in managing Change. Vision is a vividly perceived idea born out of imaginative insight and resulting in a proactive foresight and wisdom in planning. Imagination is the igniter of creating and the light of creation in all of us. How we use our imagination, and to what end is a reflection of our humanity”

A LEADER I went on a search to become a leader. I searched high and low. I spoke with authority, People listened. But, someone wiser than I came along and they followed that person. I sought to inspire confidence, but the crowd responded “Why should we trust you?” I postured and assumed the look of leadership, I exuded confidence and pride. But many passed me by and never noticed my air of elegance. I ran ahead of the others, pointed the way to new heights. I demonstrated that I knew the route to greatness, and then I looked back and I was alone. I stopped long enough to ask myself the question, “Now what do I do?” “I had worked real hard and used all that I knew.”

A LEADER

I went on a search to become a leader. I searched high and

low. I spoke with authority, People listened. But, someone

wiser than I came along and they followed that person. I

sought to inspire confidence, but the crowd responded “Why

should we trust you?” I postured and assumed the look of

leadership, I exuded confidence and pride. But many passed

me by and never noticed my air of elegance. I ran ahead of

the others, pointed the way to new heights. I demonstrated

that I knew the route to greatness, and then I looked back

and I was alone. I stopped long enough to ask myself the

question, “Now what do I do?” “I had worked real

hard and used all that I knew.”

A LEADER As I was thinking I began to listen to all the conversations happening around me, and I heard, for the first time, what the group was trying to accomplish. I rolled up my sleeves and joined in the work. As we worked I asked, “Are we all together in what we want to accomplish and how to get the job done?”

for the first time, what the group was trying to

accomplish. I rolled up my sleeves and joined in the

work. As we worked I asked, “Are we all together in

what we want to accomplish and how to get the job

done?”

We thought together, we fought together, and struggled together towards our goal. I found myself encouraging the faint hearted. I sought the ideas of those too shy to speak out. I taught those who had little skill. I praised those who worked hard. When our task was completed, one of the group turned to me and said, “This would not have been done but for your leadership.”

At first, I said, “I didn’t lead, I just worked with the rest, and then I understood, leadership is not a goal, it’s a way of reaching a goal. I lead best when I help other to go where we’ve decided to go. I lead best when I help others to use themselves creatively. I lead best when I forget about myself as a leader and focus on my group…Their needs and their goals.
