SHARE YOUR GIFT: "When You Share Your Gift, We All Win!" - brburns.com

Recently I attended the last High School basketball game of my Nephew/God Son. I sat in the stands looking on with pride, with the rest of my Family. As I listened to the Coaches, Parents of other Players, Fans, Students and of course My Family, all screaming my Nephew / God Son's name - "POOOOOOH!" - I smiled from behind the lense of my camera. It was obvious from the roar of the crowd, everytime he touched the basketball, that he was the "star" and the best player on the team. I watched as he traveled from one end of the court to the next, passing the ball to one of his teammates, each time he approached the goal. Almost everytime he made a pass to one of his teammates, it resulted in them making the shot, a shot that he could've easily made. This unselfish act by Pooh, would cause the other players to experience the roar of the crowd as well. Yes my Nephew / God Son also made several spectacular and highlight reel worthy shots and they won the game. After I left the game this dropped in my spirit, like one of his shots in the net: "When you SHARE your gift - WE ALL WIN!" At least, that's the way that I see it - but who knows, maybe it's just me!

MONEY AIN'T EVERYTHANG! (Don't Let Money Be Your Motivation)

I was reading an article about Mr. Nguyen, the creator of the game "Flappy Birds" and his decision to take the game off of the market. Some reports say that the game was making the creator as much as $50,0000 A DAY! He stated that he decided to stop selling the game, because he "couldn't take it anymore" and he wanted his "simple life" back. How many times have we wished, dreamed and hoped that we could hit the lottery or get a 6 figure job or sell a Million Books (well, maybe that's just my dream - lol). Yes, all of these things would be nice, but none of these things can truly make you happy. As in the case of the "Flappy Birds" creator, it's just another reminder to us all, who are in the "pursuit of our happiness", whatever that pursit is, that MONEY CAN'T BUY YOU HAPPINESS. Happiness is a choice and it is not contingent on dollar signs. So I challenge myself and all who read these words - "Don't let MONEY, be your MOTIVATION!". At least, that's the way that I see it - but who knows, maybe it's just me! ORDER YOUR COPY TODAY!

YOU CAN WIN! (Don't Let Being Labeled A Long Shot, Stop You From Taking YOUR SHOT!)

The dictionary defines a LONG SHOT as an attempt or undertaking that offers much, but in which there is little chance for success. Congratulation's to The Seattle Seahawks WORLD CHAMPIONS! Prior to yesterday's game all of the odds and oddsmaker's, had the deck stacked against the Seahawks. Most of the pre-game interviews, with the Players on the Seahawks team, were preceeded by words like "underdog" and "4th or 5th round draft pick". Eventhough, they were considered a long shot to win the Super Bowl - THEY BELIEVED THAT THEY COULD and THEY DID! Russell Williams (Seattle's QB) stated that his whole life, he was told that he was not tall enough, big enough, fast enough or strong enough. The doubters told him not you, but his Father always told him "WHY NOT YOU!" This provided confirmation to me and something that I have always believed - I CAN! I AM! and I WILL WIN! Even, if other's or this world, tells you that you are not good enough, strong enough, talented enough or smart enough, etc... YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN GAVE YOU THE GIFTS AND HE IS SAYING - WHY NOT YOU! Don't let being labeled a long shot, STOP you from TAKING YOUR SHOT! At least, that's the way that I see it - but who knows, maybe it's just me! ORDER YOUR COPY TODAY!
