♥♥Teacup Story♥♥
Teacup Story
There was a couple who took a trip to England to shop in a beautiful antique store to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary. They both liked antiques and pottery, and especially teacups. Spotting an exceptional cup, they asked "May we see that? We've never seen a cup quite so beautiful."
As the lady handed it to them, suddenly the teacup spoke, "You don't understand. I have not always been a teacup. There was a time when I was just a lump of red clay. My master took me and rolled me pounded and patted me over and over and I yelled out, 'Don't do that. I don't like it! Let me alone.' But he only smiled, and gently said; 'Not yet!'" "Then. WHAM! I was placed on a spinning wheel and suddenly I was spun around and around and around. 'Stop it! I'm getting so dizzy! I'm going to be sick,' I screamed. But the master only nodded and said, quietly; 'Not yet.'
"He spun me and poked and prodded and bent me out of shape to suit himself and then… Then he put me in the oven. I never felt such heat. I yelled and knocked and pounded at the door. Help! Get me out of here! I could see him through the opening and I could read his lips as he shook his head from side to side, 'Not yet'."
"When I thought I couldn't bear it another minute, the door opened. He carefully took me out and put me on the shelf, and I began to cool. Oh, that felt so good! Ah, this is much better, I thought. But, after I cooled he picked me up and he brushed and painted me all over. The fumes were horrible. I thought I would gag. 'Oh, please; Stop it, Stop it!' I cried. He only shook his head and said. 'Not yet!'."
"Then suddenly he put me back in to the oven. Only it was not like the first one. This was twice as hot and I just knew I would suffocate. I begged. I pleaded. I screamed. I cried. I was convinced I would never make it. I was ready to give up. Just then the door opened and he took me out and again placed me on the shelf, where I cooled and waited ------- and waited, wondering "What's he going to do to me next? An hour later he handed me a mirror and said 'Look at yourself.'" "And I did. I said, 'That's not me; that couldn't be me. It's beautiful. I'm beautiful!'
Quietly he spoke: 'I want you to remember, then,' he said, 'I know it hurt to be rolled and pounded and patted, but had I just left you alone, you'd have dried up. I know it made you dizzy to spin around on the wheel, but if I had stopped, you would have crumbled. I know it hurt and it was hot and disagreeable in the oven, but if I hadn't put you there, you would have cracked. I know the fumes were bad when I brushed and painted you all over, but if I hadn't done that, you never would have hardened. You would not have had any color in your life. If I hadn't put you back in that second oven, you wouldn't have survived for long because the hardness would not have held. Now you are a finished product. Now you are what I had in mind when I first began with you."
The moral of this story is this: God knows what He's doing for each of us. He is the potter, and we are His clay. He will mold us and make us, and expose us to just enough pressures of just the right kinds that we may be made into a flawless piece of work to fulfill His good, pleasing and perfect will.
So when life seems hard, and you are being pounded and patted and pushed almost beyond endurance; when your world seems to be spinning out of control; when you feel like you are in a fiery furnace of trials; when life seems to "stink", try this....
Brew a cup of your favorite tea in your prettiest teacup, sit down and think on this story and then, have a little talk with the Potter.

Leadership!
Leadership!
By mustangs on work at home
Lead …follow…or get out of the way!
If you can learn to lead one, you can learn to lead many. If you can’t lead one, then you can’t lead any. The ONE you must first learn to lead is YOURSELF. It is You who must be accountable, You who must know your worth, You who must sacrifice, You who must learn; and You who must grow to be worthy of being a part of a worthy “WE”.
We are mustangs.

What Milk Have You Spilled
One of our favorite stories is about a famous research scientist who
had made several very important medical breakthroughs.
He was being interviewed by a newspaper reporter who asked
him why he thought he was able to succeed so much more than
the average person, to be so much more creative than the average
person? In other words, what set him so far apart from others?
He responded that, in his opinion, it all came from a lesson his
mother taught him when he was two years old. He’d been trying to
take a bottle of milk out of the refrigerator, when he lost his grip and
spilled the entire contents on the kitchen floor. His mother, instead
of scolding him, said, “What a wonderful mess you’ve made! I’ve
rarely seen such a huge puddle of milk. Well, the damage is already
done. Would you like to get down and play in the milk before we
clean it up?”
Indeed, he did. And, after a few minutes, his mother continued,
“You know, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have
to clean it up. So, how would you like to do that? We could use a
towel, sponge or mop. Which do you prefer?”
After they were finished cleaning up the milk, she said, “What we
have here is a failed experiment in how to carry a big bottle of milk
with two tiny hands. Let’s go out in the backyard, fill the bottle with
water and see if you can discover a way to carry it without dropping
it.” And they did.
What a wonderful lesson!
The scientist then remarked it was at that moment he knew he
didn’t have to be afraid to make mistakes. Instead, he learned that
mistakes were just opportunities for learning something new — which
after all, is what scientific experiments are all about.
That bottle of spilled milk led to a lifetime of learning experiences
— experiences that were the building blocks of a lifetime of world renowned
successes and medical breakthroughs!

Finding Your true Passion
7 Questions to Finding Your True Passion
According to a recent survey, about 75% of the population do not know what their true passion is. Clearly, almost everyone seems to not be doing what they were meant to do. This is an eye-opener because doing what we really love is absolutely necessary if we want to be fully happy. Perhaps this is why there is so much unhappiness going on in our society, people just aren’t doing what they are here on Earth for. Finding your true passion isn’t as simple as it may seem. For some, yes it does come naturally, but most of the time, you have to ask yourself some questions to pinpoint exactly what you were born to do. Here are my 7 questions that can guide you to finding your ultimate passion:
What puts a smile on your face?
Is there a particular event, a particular topic that makes your whole face just lighten up? Whatever it is that makes you smile, and makes you happy whenever you encounter it, this is a sign of something you are passionate about. I truly believe that happiness and passion walk hand in hand. Both require each other. So following what makes you truly happy is a wonderful way to figuring out what you were put on Earth for. Think about something that you do or that perhaps you used to do that brings total peace to you when you do it. Peace is happiness, and happiness is passion.
What do you find easy?
Usually, what we find easy for us to do, will be related to what we are passionate about. It’s very hard to hate something that is very easy for us! For example, let’s say you are naturally good at playing the piano, you will find the activity easy, and this ease makes it much more fun for you. Fun leads to happiness and happiness is synonymous with passion So assess everything that you do, whatever it is that you find really easy and fun, this may very well be your passion. And don’t think that anything is off limits or silly. Some people have taken their passion for skateboarding, drawing, or collecting to full fledged careers. Remember this, you can make a career out of anything you are passionate about.
What sparks your creativity?
One of my passions growing up was hockey. It’s not too surprising, being Canadian and all But I remember playing for hours and hours, and always coming up with different plays, and different methods to score goals. I was always full of creativity when playing hockey. Later in life, I developed similar creativity in business. Think about something in your life where you seem to always expand its horizon, always coming up with new, fun, and exciting ideas relating to that subject. Whatever makes you creative, is probably something that you are very passionate about.
What would you do for free?
In this society, we are ruled by the almighty dollar. That’s the way the system works, and that’s the game we have to play. The problem is, this leads many people to seek making money first, instead of what makes them happy. I have read countless number of stories about stock brokers and doctors for example, leaving their high paying positions to follow what they really love. There is a reason for that. I truly believe that if you follow what you are passionate about without thinking about if it will make you rich or not, you will end up being successful. Doing what you have a passion for brings out your best, and this leads to greatness. Greatness breezes to success. Do you think that the most successful people in the world got to where they are because they wanted to get rich? Absolutely not, they did what they were so passionate about, and their immense success was just a byproduct of their dedication. So think about something that you would just love to do, even if you were not getting paid. Think about something that you look forward to do, something that you wish you could do all the time.
What do you like to talk about?
The topics of conversation we have can definitely tell what we are interested in, and this is a good way to find out what we really enjoy in life. Most of the time, we aren’t totally aware of this. This is why, a very good way to figure this out properly, is to ask your friends. Ask them what they believe you like to talk about the most. Ask them what topic makes your eyes brighten up, and changes your entire behavior. I can guarantee you that some of their answers will be surprising to you. Some of these things weren’t that clear to you, but your friends can see the reaction on your face that you can’t see yourself. Try it out, it’s a very insightful exercise, and one that can direct you closer to figuring out your passion.
What makes you unafraid of failure?
When we do what we are passionate about, we have total confidence in our abilities. This makes us not worry about failing, because in our mind, how can we fail when we do what we love? Doing what you love is a success in and of itself, so failure is like an impossibility. Think of something that you just do or want to do, no matter what. Something that you do not have second thoughts about. Think about something that you feel you must do and that failure is not even a concern of yours, because the mere act of doing it is like the journey and the destination all wrapped up in one. This may very well be your true passion.
What would you regret not having tried?
We all have these dreams, and somehow, life pushes us in another direction, and next thing we know, we are far from those dreams we used to have. If you were at the end of your life, what would you regret not having pursued? What would you have liked to do, that you didn’t get a chance to? Think about what that might be. Whatever it is that you may experience regret now or later on for not having tried, this is a good chance to be your true passion. There is nothing worse than arriving at the end of the journey and having regret. This is why finding your passion, and following it is so important. Live your life so that you do not have regrets.

Books to Enrich your Business
Suggested Reading
“Those that seek a better life must first become a better person” Why do we neglect to read the books that can change our lives? Why do we complain but remain the same? There is very little difference between someone who cannot read and someone who will not read.
All the books that we will ever need to make us as rich, healthy, as happy and successful as we want to be, have already been written. Our goal as a team is to empower each and every one of us. Leaders are readers. If you read one book a month for 12 months, you begin to change your life. You do this for 36 months; you become the top 10% of your field.
Here is the secret: Take any book on the list below, divide the number of pages in it by the number of days in the month and read just that many pages. Break it down to where it becomes a simple habit. For example:
“The Five Major Pieces to Life’s Puzzle” by Jim Rohn, has 121 pages. January has 31 days in it, so all you have to do it read 4 pages a night. Commit to this simple discipline and you will change your life.
“Think and Grow Rich” – Napoleon Hill
Living an Inspired Life” – Jim Rohn
“Crush It” – Cash in on Your Passion - Gary Vaynerchuk
“The Book on Network Marketing” - by Richard Kall
“The Five Major Pieces to Life’s Puzzle” – Jim Rohn
“The Slight Edge” – Jeff Olson
“Goals” - Brian Tracy
“How to Win Friends and Influence People” - Dale Carnegie
“The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership” - John C. Maxwell
“Awaken the Giant Within” - Anthony Robbins
“The Tipping Point” - Malcolm Gladwell
“E Myth Mastery” - Michael E. Gerber
