Watch me burn!

October 31, 2008

Never let the bad times get you down. I love this Daily Motivational Memo that my dad, Peter Sinclairwrote:

‘In a world that says, ‘You can’t', shout from the rooftops, ‘I can and I will.’
Find your roof and stand firmly upon it. Pitch a tent there and shout with the loudest shout you can muster with those lungs of yours. And when the winds try to blow you off the roof, and the rains endeavour to dampen your spirits, and when the fire brigade come with their ladders to urge you to get down off your roof, you stay put. Don’t be moved. ‘They’, yes that group called ‘they’, said that you’d never do it, never amount to anything and would never set the world on fire. But you just look straight back in their eyes and say, ‘Watch me burn!’
Business has been a little tough lately. Sales are coming in but not a much as we really need. It has been putting a lot of pressure on my family and I have especially been feeling partly responsible for not achieving the goals that we need. I’ve come to the conclusion though. I can worry and complain and get angry at God.. but at the end of the day, He is so in control and that there is always a way.

As we continue to push through the hard times, I truly believe that green grass and the blue sky is just around the next bend. How many people in this lifetime have quit just before the rainbow. That is something that I don’t want to happen.

‘Watch me burn!’
