Story:
The Great Chicago Fire of October 8, 1871, claimed more than 200 lives and destroyed over 7,000 buildings. On that same day, a great fire occurred in Peshtigo, Wisconsin, claiming up to 2500 lives and destroying over one million acres of timberland.
The Great Peshtigo Fire remains the deadliest fire in U.S. history, yet very few people know about it. The media was centered in and around Chicago and Peshtigo was small and remote, along with the dozen other villages nearby that were destroyed.
Life is the same way. Thousands of people are doing significant things daily to help others, for the satisfaction of doing something with no recognition or reward, save for the joy they received by helping others. Without them, who knows what this world would be like? One thing is certain, if not for those people, it would be much worse than it is today.
Be a difference maker for others and it will make a difference in your life.

Story:
People are still blaming the economy, the government, and their company's policies, while neglecting the basic business-building activities that are easy to do. Everything we need to succeed is well within our reach. The big reason so few people take advantage of opportunity is simply due to neglect.
Neglect is like an infection that if untreated, will spread into everything we do, leading to a breakdown of a joy-filled and prosperous life.
Failing to do what we should do leads to guilt, then erosion of our confidence, decrease in our activity level, declination of our results, weakening of our attitude, negative thinking, depression, and more neglect.
To reverse this, take the time to make the choice to do something that is easy to do as it is not to do, something that will parlay itself into something big down the road. A successful life is a succession of making good decisions each day and strung together.

Story:
It’s true that you can remember the future more clearly than remembering the past? What’s that mean? None of us remember our first birthday, but if there were photographs taken, then we have a visualization of what happened due to those photos that are available, and it’s pretty evident by the photograph that it was a special day!
Yet, many people know what they’re going to be doing tomorrow (work), where they’ll be, what they’ll be wearing, who they’ll be working with, all because they do it day after day, even though tomorrow hasn’t occurred yet. They’ll just “remember” it because it’ll be a lot like today and yesterday.
The key is in the ability to “remember” a tomorrow that is somehow different than it was yesterday or today, but moving on after tomorrow. It means the difference between positive thinking and wishful thinking:
Positive thinking, which is expecting something to happen by working at it;
Wishful thinking, which is hoping for something to happen, but doing nothing for it to happen.
For a better tomorrow, one of the best things to do is transform the dream of today into the reality of tomorrow, by turning a goal into a memory for your future. Get into the practice and you'll find that your memories of the future are clearer and more accurate than your memories of the past.
