3 Minutes to a better day!

Before watching this 3-minute inspirational video, let me tell you about the person who shared it with me.

Tom is a friend, a mentor, an inspiration, and a legend.  There is a thought among scholars that all humans are connected by 6 degrees of separation… 6 people between you and any other human on the planet.   Tom is so connected, he alone brings that number to more like two or three.   People just migrate to him, adore him, and respect him like no one I’ve even met.   He’s a consummate giver…  generous with time, spirit, wisdom, encouragement and monetary gifts.

Twice Tom was told by doctors he had 90 days to live.   Twice, stumping his doctors, he defied those odds.   Even on smaller scales, he has endured and overcome obstacles routinely.   He accomplishes this the way most people breathe… one day at a time and with regular consistency.   Unlike breathing, however, he consciously works at it…. he is deliberate and intentional.

A few months ago, I called to catch up with Tom.   As with the opening of most conversations, I asked how he was doing.   His response left me baffled.   He was in the hospital.   Three days prior, he was told by doctors he has Cancer of Unknown Origin.

While he undergoes many rounds of harsh chemotherapy, he continues to blog and share key things that help improve others… in business and in life.   He is honest and open about how difficult this journey has been.  Even so, he presses on, vulnerable, but fighting like a relentless warrior… and sharing all he can to help others on their own path.

Last week, Tom shared a three minute video of inspiration with friends, family and colleagues.    It’s about how to start each day.   I pass this along to you from someone who is an absolute authority on living a rich and fulfilling life.   May this inspire you.   If you find this of value, please pass it forward within your own circles of family, friends, and colleagues.   Wealth takes many forms…. may the video Tom shared with us, inspire you to begin each day, on your own path, thinking like this…     http://t.co/x0dp69QVF1

Make it a great day!
