1. Will You Join Me?
Hello, Hello my friends …Hello my friends those who are near and those who are far….Hello my old
friends and yes….Hello my new friends. Will you join me?
Few years ago I started my blog but never had the sticktoitiveness to maintain it. I lacked one of the
fundamental criteria required for success that is dogged or fierceperseverance. Recently, I restarted my
efforts at blogging, and today I am blogging to ask you the question…Will You Join Me? Will you
accompany me on my journey? Can you fulfill your own dreams, goals or aspirations by joining me on
this join?
I believe the moment of truth is up on me to fulfill my dream of consistently blogging. My objective is
blog so that I can inspire and motivate others. I think the moment of truth is now for me to tell you that
whatsoever I can achieve you can do much more. Today I ask which of my friends will step forward?
Who will rise to the front? It is easy just email or call me or leave a comment on my blog at
http://mastbmckenzie.blogspot.ca/ . I will be you greatest supporter on your journey to success. Today
I once again draws my inspiration from Alexander the Great.
In 335 B.C., Alexander the Great began his campaign to recapture former Greek cities and to expand his
empire. After ten years of undefeated battles, Alexander controlled an empire that included Greece,
Egypt, and what had been the massive Persian Empire. That was not enough for Alexander. He decided
to continue his conquest into India. But after ten years of fighting and being away from home, his men
lacked the will to take part in another battle, especially against an opponent like King Porus and his
army.
Today I say to you my friends near and far….my old friends and yes…. my new friends you ….do not
suffer from the lack of will or lack of courage or suffer the risk of not trying. We are friends with the
common purpose of pursuing our dreams, goals or aspirations. Our dreams, goals and aspirationsmay be
different. They may relate to our careers, finances or our personal lives. No matter what they are a key
factor for success is sticktoitiveness. A key requirement is that dogged or fierce perseverance to pursue
your dreams, goals and aspiration come what will good or ill. It is that innate desire to always wanting to
succeed at the smallest of tasks relating to your dreams, goals and aspiration. So who will join me
today?
As Alexander the Great said to his men together we have endured toil and fatiguefor a common
purpose. Come now, whoever of you lack the will or courage, strip yourself and show them, and I will
show today through my blog that I am like you frail and fragile, nervous and vulnerable and very often
lacks the will and courage but yet l muster to the strengthen for the betterment of pursuing my dreams,
goals and aspirations. If I can, so can you! I am committed to challenge myself to be up at the crack of
dawn to write my blog filled with words of encouragement for you my friends. Together we will move
towards our common purpose. Together we shall climb to the top of the mountain.

2. Who will it be? Who will join me? You and I have shared the labour and shared the courage,
determination and perseverance to pursue our dreams, goals and aspiration and together we shall
succeed. We shall reap the fruits of our labour and our tenacity. The rewards are for us all. You are not
beyond success. Step forward and be counted. Your successes and accomplishments belong to you but
together we shall share the journey, the pain and the struggle. Eleanor Roosevelt said“The future
belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” I believe in your dreams…Do you?
You have are already seen the greater part of the treasures of successes and accomplishment ….Your
successes are in your hands. Today, this is a call for you to come forward and be counted once more. I
am with you on this journey. As Alexander the Great said “I will go further than the mere satisfaction of
our ambitions: the utmost hopes of riches or power which each one of you cherishes will be far
surpassed, and whoever wishes to return home will be allowed to go, either with me or without me. I
will make those who stay the envy of those who return!” You my friends will be the envy of others.
Will you join me?
