Growing people towards success. Your growth determines who you are. Who you are determines who you attract. Who you attract determines the success of your organization. CHAD SCHAPIRO

Chad Schapiro: Prison can be more than just a room with bars.
We all lock ourselves up in different activities that imprison us and hold us back from our true glory. We need to continually fight for freedom. The fight is more on the inside than anything that can be seen on the outside. Let's focus on freeing ourselves!!!
1. Stay Sharp!! Make sure to be ready at all times to break out. Many of us get stuck in a rut focusing on all that we are not and the things we don't have. Meanwhile there are opportunities all around us that when we learn to stay sharp we can use to bring us to levels higher than we ever thought possible.
2. Stay Positive!! We get to decide what day we'll have. Do you want a great day or a not so great day? It is our choice and to break free from the internal prison we all have we need to stay positive in all things! Play This Be like those M & M's!! They are sooo positive they influence their environment.
3. Stay Put! Anyone looking for the easy way out is going to stay imprisoned. Making a commitment to not quit no matter what, to remain focused on what will happen when we succeed makes the prison bars fall down allowing us to be freed. Everything we are going through can only help us and help others with their battles they face. Do not be afraid of the battles but for sure be afraid of quitting. Stay put no matter what!!
4. Follow your leads!! Turn over every stone! Every single contact could lead you to another who leads you to another that may even lead you to another that creates freedom in your life forever. We need to take care of every seemingly small lead that comes our way. If we take care of the small opportunities we will notice we have some BIG ONES! Follow every non-profit lead, merchant lead, and of course every lead to a new leader that can be in your team.
5. Run through the open doors!! If it's even cracked a little bit run through there and make yourself at home. Many go too slow and then wonder why the door became closed. We need to move it!!

Wow some incredible lessons there for me! Thank you so much..I will be more diligent in these areas!!
Yes. When we have made the decision to not change, to not stay put, to not grow, to not follow, to not learn, to not grow, the only way is... OUT. We feel trapped. There is no way out. And the only way out is OUT. When we have chosen Freedom without Direction, and we will not embrace the process, because we claim the right to have that unbound freedom without direction, that license actually, then the process itself becomes the prison, and we do not have a way out, since we won't embrace the patht, and the only way out is OUT. This is of course -for each- our choice. Whether we choose to embrace it, or to quit, or if that is also not an option, to QUIT, all of it, is our choices. We have come to earth unlike any other being, with the unique gift of Freewill. So we will do what we choose to do. Thank you for showing us the way to get out of prison. When we choose to embrace it, we will, for sure, be Free.
