To Achieve Your Dreams Remember Your ABC's

Avoid negative sources, people, places, things and habits. Believe in yourself.

Consider things from every angle.

Don't give up and don't give in.

Enjoy life today, yesterday is gone, tomorrow may never come.

Family and friends are hidden treasures, seek them and enjoy their riches.

Give more than you planned to.

Hang on to your dreams.

Ignore those who try to discourage you.

Just do it.

Keep trying no matter how hard it seems, it will get easier.

Love yourself first and most.

Make it happen.

Never lie, cheat or steal, always strike a fair deal.

Open your eyes and see things as they really are.

Practice makes perfect.

Quitters never win and winners never quit.

Read, study and learn about everything important in your life. Stop procrastinating.

Take control of your own destiny.

Understand yourself in order to better understand others. Visualize it.

Want it more than anything.

‘Excellerate’ your efforts.

You are unique of all God's creations, nothing can replace YOU. Zero in on your target and go for it!"    -   Wanda Hope Carter

New Website Notes

This website is still a work in progress. You may notice some text on other pages that doesn't make much sense or looks like instructions for me. Just ignore it. Eventually I will get all that stuff removed as I fill in the pages with my own information.

Words Left Unsaid

"As a youngster, I ached to hear my dad tell me, "Lee, I'm proud of you. You're really special to me." I hungered to hear him say, "Son, I really like who you are."

Not hearing any of that from him created a wound in me that I eventually tried to heal through workaholism, striving to earn from him the respect I so needed. 

My dad died while I was away at law school. As I sat by myself, a steady stream of my dad's friends, none of whom I knew, stopped by to greet me. "Are you Wally's son? Oh, he was so proud of you. He used to brag about you all the time. When you went off to Yale Law School, he was just thrilled. When you'd have a byline in the Tribune, he was always showing it to everybody. He couldn't stop talking about you! You were such an important part of his life."

I sat there stunned. I had no idea my dad felt that way. He hadn't told me. I had to wait until he was dead to find out. What would it have done to our relationship if he'd told me himself while we still had time together?

The lesson is this: never assume that your friend, wife, or child knows how you feel about them. Tell them!
