Joy and Laughter!

I have written articles in this capacity for 2.5 years and I have to say that I don't write for the money.

Years have passed already since I stopped chasing the Almighty dollar. Making money on transactional exchanges resulted in a *coldness* in my heart where I was left with a commission check, yet no satisfaction or joy.

One of the main *issues*, dissatisfactions or a simple incompleteness I experienced was that there was no trust established. Many times, after the transaction was *closed*, I felt used and I had done SO much, and performed an excellent service, yet the client was unappreciative and even no Thank you. I had to thank THEM.

If you can understand the fulfillment connected with joy and laughter, I can share with you a business philosophy which provides such a result.

The reason business is even an issue is that most things that we require for basic survival requires cash, and if we don't survive, we cannot thrive.

If you want to increase what you receive as far as compensation, not necessarily cash only ... maybe love, spiritual connection, companionship, friendship, etc., You MUST learn to give, to serve and to think of others' needs as a way to begin the process to increase what YOU get yourself.

Think of this concept ... "Every I come in contact with a person, I do whatever it takes to make their life better for having met me."-- Retired Football Quarterback Fran Tarkenton who earns $200,000,000 a year in his business

I once went through a Success Tape series where the magical key ingredient was to "Be Willing To Do Whatever It Takes."

This *Willingness* is absolute. If you don't possess this character and behavioral attribute, I think that you should continue to stay employed to make someone else rich ... the reason being that your boss DOES possess the Willingness and thus deserves the wealth which you forsake due to not understanding the concept or for whatever else reason.

Joy and Laughter will enter your life when you find your passion and really go for the limits only you create for yourself. It is in this process that you find your true purpose. In most cases, you will *lose* yourself to a certain degree, not much different than the larva does while transforming into the Monarch butterfly. Your identity becomes gray at times because the behavioral modifications you must take on (change) causes uncomfortableness much like going through adolescence all over again.

It's kind of like being Open During Remodeling with all the dust and incomplete work visible to the customer. Or how about, during open heart surgery, it always looks like there has been a murder? The point is, much of the time, we have to work in messiness, as far as forging forward to create something new, something great, something big (with things being in a state of *in process*).

It takes great patience and a vision to drive this effort. The rewards are magnificent due to the fact you are creating something that does not exist in the present. This is an exciting venture and well worth the blood, sweat and tears necessary to invest.

Joy and Laughter is a Great reward which will provide the highest level of Quality Lifestyle. There is no better way to improve your lifestyle, than to help someone ELSE to do the same and get out of the mess they may find themselves in.

Joy and Laughter is FUN and it feels GOOD! I encourage you to be willing to do whatever it takes to live it at every possible moment, with people who you truly enjoy being with. nnn
