A Wedding Wreath

During the Victorian era, a popular custom was “floriography”, sending messages through the symbolic meanings of herbs and flowers. The wreath would carry a special wedding message. Rose petals (for love), rosemary (for remembrances) and lavender (for devotion).

Time

Time is

Too slow for those who wait,

Too swift for those who fear,

Too long for those who grieve,

Too short for those who rejoice,

But for those who love,

Time is eternity!

Love is like a bird…

If you hold it too tightly,

You’ll crush it;

If you hold it too loosely, it’ll fly away.

Attitude of Gratitude, CEO Julia Stewart

 To me, having an attitude of gratitude means to be grateful for all of the good things in my life. The truth is, where our attention goes so too does our focus and our attitude. So if we are aiming high and shooting for the stars, we have a better chance at succeeding than if we are worrying or placing our thoughts in a negative light. An expression that I often use is attitude determines altitude. I recently read an article about CEO Julia Stewart. Up until this morning, I hadn’t even heard of her, however her accomplishments speak for themselves. She rose to the ranks to be the first female CEO of IHOP, also known as International House of Pancakes. 

 

Julia’s attitude for success is printed on a piece of paper that she keeps framed on her desk. These have been her life goals and these center around her relationship with her career, personal life, and giving back. Her mantra has been to: “love, encourage, and commit to” her husband, to “love and nourish” her children, to work on goals liking building her Alurx to be the #1 wellness app on the market and to mentor other women who are from all circumstances and walks of life. 

I believe in making lists and life goals, not only yearly, but daily. And when I go on a trip, I also usually have a list of things I need to accomplish professionally, but also physically, mentally, and spiritually. In addition to that list– I have a list of things I want to do for fun

 In 1912, my grandfather, Demetrio Papagni, emigrated from the Bari-Puglia Region of Italy and settled in the California Central Valley. He came to America with a dream to make fine premium wines from grapes grown on the land of his new homeland in the rich, fertile soils of the San Joaquin Valley. Papagni Fruit Company thus was born in 1920 and quickly earned a reputation for growing the best premium wine grapes in the valley and beyond. Throughout the years, Demetrio handed down the craft of winemaking to his son, Angelo Papagni. Angelo Papagni brought the business to the next level with growth and was known as the “maverick” of winemaking. This level of growth was from the 1970’s through the 1990’s. Today, over 100 years later, Demetrio is continuing what his grandfather and father started and is continuing to grow, premium, high-quality wine grapes.

Success Tips

 

Zig Zigglar said, "don't be a wandering generality, be a meaningful specific."

Yesterday I met a young entrepeurner who is not only changing his own life but is changing the lives of those around him.

He is on track to being debt free and his wife will no longer have to work and they both will be able to stay at home debt free and start a family. He said to me, "you've never heard of a house husband and a house wife together." It made me laugh. He will continue to work part time.

The most amazing thing to me is that he changed his life from playing video games almost forty hours a week. He and his wife met a mastermind group who has helped them financially, emotionally, physically, and spiritually.

He wanted to share some tips to help me as well. He is listening to books such as Everybody Connects by John Maxwell, The Compound Effect, and The Magic of Thinking Big. 

Here is what Jonathan has learned.

1) Make the decision that you want to be successful. 

2) Find Someone Successful.

3) Consistently get around them and study them.

4) Do exactly what they teach you.

I added, do passions with purpose. Which would be part of part 1. I would also add that one needs to constantly suppress the stress response and to lesson your stress as much as possible. The stress hormones need to let up.

Ways to let up and get over the stress would be to journal and to exercise. I would also add watching funny movies to reduce stress.
