What are your core Values?

We are always speaking with people about their core values. People are just like apples! They have value and impact and they get that value and impact by learning about what they posses both mentally and physically. One of the greatest things we posses is our core. Just like an apple, the core is our strength. If you don't have a strong core, it's tough to grow.

The core is where you keep your beliefs, your morals, your values, your goals and the seeds to help grow your dreams and help other grow theirs. You feed your core by connect with the right people.

We recently re-did our core values to better reflect what we do, how we do, and why we do what we do. Looking at our core values helps us make difficult decisions,  guides us towards our goals and motivates us when we're not feeling so B.A.D. (Successful) We will share them with you now. We hope our list will inspire to write down your core beliefs and values. When you do, you'll be amazed by how productive you become at growing your dreams.

Dream Big, Dream Often

Dream Big, Dream Often

Have you ever noticed that children have the greatest imagination in the world?  What is just an ordinary box to us, is a car, a fort, a jet ski, a swimming pool and more to a child. There imagination can go on and on.

Children are great because they posses a great sense of wonder and amazement.  They always know exactly how to DREAM:  They Dream Big and They Dream Often. When children dream of ice cream, they dream of the whole world made of ice cream not just an ice cream cone.  When it comes to dreaming about themselves they always DREAM of success.  More often than not, you’ll find a child dreams of winning the Super Bowl,  being first-place in a race or being the best at whatever they are interested in at the moment.   When things go wrong, they call "Do Over" and work at it until they make it right.  They live their dream out everyday through their imaginations.
  
Childhood is great for that reason.  As adults we lose some of the childhood wonder because we are conditioned over time or jaded by negative experiences which damage our ability to dream.  This conditioning pushes us to the unhealthy acceptance that our Dreams can’t come true.  We begin to live our lives in the daily rut.  Farmers use the plow to create ruts in the ground.  Within these ruts they plant the seeds for the development of a crop.  Therefore, the farmer creates ruts in the ground in order to make the dream come true.  Like children we need to Dream Big and Dream Often. We need to look for opportunities to make our dreams come true. Like Farmers, we need to use the rut to plant the seeds for the next success. 

Are you living your Dream? or have you let the Dream escape?  When we lose sight of our Dream our lives become stagnant, uneventful and dull.  However, when we keep our dreams in sight hope abounds and possibilities are endless. As we end our summer of fun and sun and head into the cold and gray skies of autumn and winter, the question one must answer is:  Are you in a rut or creating one?
