I Care for My City Foundation

Once upon a time, there was a young man who was struggling to achieve his goals. He was constantly procrastinating and making excuses. One day, he met an old man who was wise and successful. The old man told the young man that the secret to success was to make his bed every morning.

The young man was skeptical at first, but he decided to give it a try. The next morning, he made his bed. It wasn't a big task, but it made him feel good. He had accomplished something first thing in the morning.

The young man continued to make his bed every morning, and over time, he started to notice a change. He was more productive and less likely to procrastinate. He was also more confident and optimistic.

One day, the young man was walking down the street when he saw the old man again. He went up to the old man and thanked him for the advice. The old man smiled and said, "Making your bed is a small thing, but it sets the tone for the rest of the day. If you can accomplish something small first thing in the morning, you'll be more likely to accomplish other things throughout the day."

The young man took the old man's advice to heart, and he continued to make his bed every morning. He went on to achieve great things in his life, and he always remembered the lesson that the old man taught him.

Make Your Bed by Admiral William H. McRaven is a motivational book that teaches readers how to achieve their goals and live a fulfilling life. The book is based on ten lessons that McRaven learned during his time in the Navy SEALs, one of the most elite special forces units in the world.

McRaven begins the book by telling the story of how he was taught to make his bed every morning during his basic training. He explains that making your bed is not just about having a neat and tidy room. It is about accomplishing something small first thing in the morning, which can give you a sense of accomplishment and set the tone for the rest of the day.

The other nine lessons in the book are all based on McRaven's experiences in the Navy SEALs. These lessons include:

1.Don't quit when things get tough.

2. Embrace the challenge.

3. Find a team and work together.

4. Be humble and grateful.

5. Give back to others.

McRaven illustrates each lesson with stories from his own life and from the lives of his fellow SEALs. He also shares personal advice and insights on how to apply these lessons to your own life.

Make Your Bed is an inspiring book that can help you to achieve your goals and live a more fulfilling life. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to be the best version of themselves.

Top 10 lesson learned from book - WHO SAYS YOU CAN'T? YOU DO

1)The beauty of life is just as real as the ugliness of life. It all depends on which one you choose to see.
"You think you look strong because you can hold on, but strength lies in letting go."

2)Do at least one thing each day, make sure you recognise the progress, and be proud of yourself for doing.
Don’t ask how life is treating you; ask how you are treating life!

3)"When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us."

4)When you appreciate something, you don’t abuse it. Learn to appreciate all that’s life.
"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

5)There are two kinds of critics. One is a coward who gains his glory by attacking things he never had the courage to do. The other is courageous enough to tell you that cowards never make it. Learn to utilise both of them.
Every new moment creates new opportunities: a fresh slate offered by life. You can think what you want, feel what you want, and create what you want.

6)There never has been, and never will be an easy way of achieving something great.
It takes a simple-minded man to linger around those who are praised, yet a courageous man to pick up those who have fallen.

7)"Keep away from those who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you believe that you, too, can become great."

8)Manifesting our visions into reality is just like a puzzle. First we take a good look at a picture of the end result, hold onto it, and then set out to fit together the pieces.

9)Follow your heart, but be quiet for a while first. Ask questions, then feel the answer. Learn to trust your heart."

10)Appreciation is the key to letting your spirit take over your life. By adding such a simple ritual to your daily life, you will create a world of difference. Success without appreciation is no success at all!

10 lessons from Dale Carnegie's book "How to Win Friends and Influence People":

1. Don't criticize, condemn, or complain. This is one of the most important lessons in the book. When you criticize, condemn, or complain, you are putting the other person on the defensive. This makes it difficult for them to like you or want to help you.

2. Be a good listener. People love to talk about themselves. When you are a good listener, you are showing the other person that you care about them and what they have to say. This makes them feel good about themselves and more likely to like you.

3. Arouse in the other person an eager want. This is the key to influencing people. When you can help someone see how what you are offering will benefit them, they will be more likely to say yes.

4. Smile. Smiling is a simple way to make a good impression. It shows that you are friendly and approachable.

5. Remember names. People are more likely to like you if they feel like you know them. Make an effort to remember people's names and use them when you see them again.

6. Be genuinely interested in other people. This may seem like a no-brainer, but it's important to remember that people are more likely to like you if you are genuinely interested in them. Ask them questions about themselves and really listen to their answers.

7. Talk in terms of the other person's interests. People are more likely to be interested in what you have to say if you can relate it to their interests.

8. Make the other person feel important – and do it sincerely. People like to feel important. When you can make someone feel important, they will be more likely to like you and want to help you.

9. Be a leader: arouse enthusiasm and get people to want to follow you. People are more likely to follow you if they are enthusiastic about what you are doing. Get them excited about your ideas and they will be more likely to support you.

10. Be a friend: do things for other people without expecting anything in return. People like to be appreciated. When you do things for other people without expecting anything in return, they will be more likely to like you and want to be friends with you.

These are just a few of the many lessons that can be learned from Dale Carnegie's book "How to Win Friends and Influence People." If you can apply these lessons to your life, you will be well on your way to building better relationships and achieving your goals.

Yesterday, SGT McCoy met a man by the name of Dan Williams, age:57, sitting in front of Wendy’s in Horn Lake. He was down on his luck and was hungry. SGT McCoy walked him inside and offered to buy the man lunch. The Wendy’s Management would not let the deputy pay, because they covered Mr. Williams’ meal instead!
SGT McCoy sat down and ate lunch with Mr. Williams. He found out that Mr. Williams had no money or phone and has been catching rides from Ohio in an attempt to get down to Monroe, Louisiana to be with family.
SGT McCoy could tell that Mr. Williams had a good heart and wanted to help him, so he got with Deputies Brea, Garrett, and Andrews. They all pulled money out of their own pockets and pitched in to buy Mr. Williams an $89.00 Greyhound bus ticket to get home, along with an additional $60.00 for some food and necessities. SGT McCoy later said that Mr. Williams broke down and cried as he was dropping him off at the bus station in Memphis, TN. Mr. Williams looked over to SGT McCoy and told him, “Out of all of the people that reached out to help me in my time of need, it was the cops. Thank you!!”
This is not a one time incident….These random acts of kindness happen everyday across this county and our nation with law enforcement officers reaching out to help those in need, but most of these good deeds go unnoticed because that’s our job and that’s what we do. We are proud to protect and serve you!

10 LESSONS FROM THE POWER OF VISION BY MYLES MUNROE

1) Vision is the ability to see what is not yet. This means that we should not be limited by our current circumstances. We should always be looking to the future and imagining what is possible.

2) Vision is the key to success. Without vision, we will wander aimlessly through life and never achieve our full potential. But with vision, we can set goals and make plans to achieve them.

3) Vision is contagious. When we have a vision, it inspires others to have visions of their own. This can create a ripple effect that can change the world.

4) Vision is powerful. It can change the world. Think about the visions of Martin Luther King Jr. and Mahatma Gandhi. Their visions of a more just and equitable world inspired millions of people and helped to bring about real change.

5) Vision requires faith. We must believe that our vision is possible in order to achieve it. This does not mean that we have to have all the answers. But it does mean that we have to believe that we can find the answers.

6) Vision requires action. We must take steps every day to make our vision a reality. This does not mean that we have to do everything ourselves. But it does mean that we have to be willing to roll up our sleeves and get to work.

7) Vision requires perseverance. There will be setbacks along the way, but we must never give up on our vision. This is especially true when we are faced with challenges. But if we persevere, we will eventually achieve our goals.

8) Vision requires sacrifice. We may have to give up some things in order to achieve our vision, but it will be worth it in the end. This could mean giving up our time, our money, or even our relationships. But if we are willing to make these sacrifices, we will be one step closer to achieving our goals.

9) Vision requires a team. We cannotour vision alone. We need the support of others. This could mean finding a mentor, joining a support group, or simply surrounding ourselves with positive people who believe in us.

10) Vision requires a commitment to excellence. We must be willing to do whatever it takes to achieve our vision. This means giving our best effort every day and never giving up.

𝙏𝙊𝙋 10 𝙇𝙀𝙎𝙎𝙊𝙉𝙎 𝙁𝙍𝙊𝙈 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝘽𝙊𝙊𝙆 ''𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝙈𝙊𝙉𝙆 𝙒𝙃𝙊 𝙎𝙊𝙇𝘿 𝙃𝙄𝙎 𝙁𝙀𝙍𝙍𝘼𝙍𝙄"

1.RESPECT YOUR TIME :

The only way to experience more is to push yourself to do more. Because only 20% of your time, dedicated to the day-to-day activities, yield lasting results that could influence the quality of your life.You have to have the courage to say “no”.

Start small. By showing how much you value your time, others will learn to recognize it and as a consequence, respect you for it.

2. FIND OUT THE PURPOSE OF LIFE :

Imagine discovering a map that leads you directly to a treasure chest.That’s how exciting it would be when you discover your life’s purpose. So here are action steps from the Sages of Sivana to ensure your goal is as attainable as you believe it to be:

3. DO THE THINGS YOU FEAR MOST :

Do the things you fear, because you’re building the foundation of success and leadership within yourself. Leading yourself first gives others the vote of confidence that you’re capable of leading them too.The lesson from the monk is that success on the outside begins within. When you identify the things that are holding you back, you should face them. So act with the integrity and be guided by your heart.

4. ENJOY THE LITTLE THINGS OF LIFE :

You don’t need too many material possessions for you to enjoy life. In the book, talks about Julian Mantle, a successful lawyer who sold his material possessions when he discovered that he could enjoy life by meditating on the beauty of the little things of life such as a spider’s web and flowers. For achieving the success we don,t care about the little things , that provide us happiness. Person just focus on big achievement , not small . If person cant enjoy on little things, he will also not enjoy when he achieve the big.

5. LIVE WITH DISCIPLINE :

We’re all the more tempted and distracted today by the noises our devices make and the people we interact with on a daily basis. It takes courage to nurture self-discipline because it’s not easy. But once you give yourself the power to be more than your environment, you’ll ultimately win and unshackle yourself from a mental prison.

6. CULTIVATE YOUR MIND :

The quality of your life is determined by the quality of your thoughts.Ironically, under the grand laws of nature, our mind can only hold one thought at a time. By making negative thoughts your focus, you’ll embody it, or worst, manifest it. This mentality will only hinder your personal growth.Mastering your mind means seeing setbacks as opportunities. By envisioning your dreams, you give your mind the power to cultivate it and make it a reality.So occupy your mind with uplifting thoughts.

7. YOUR OUTER LIFE IMPROVES IF YOU BUILD YOUR INNER WORLD :

Working on factors such as discipline and optimism enables you to achieve whatever you want. Besides this, building your inner world through the cultivation of faith, a strong spirit, and self-mastery makes you unstoppable in your outer world. That being said, you must focus on building a strong character because doing so will enable you to easily succeed in your outer world. Always listen good things, watch good stuff , spend your time with good person.

8. PRACTICE DAILY ACT OF KINDNESS :

Expressing gratitude daily plants the seed within yourself that each day is sacred. The richer the relationship you build around you, the more abundance comes your way. Giving more to life and to your community is a paradigm-shifting perspective from the “self” mentality of survival of the fittest.Practicing gratitude and dedicating time to the act of giving, can help you find your purpose in the world.

9. WRITING DOWN YOUR GOAL :

The art of goal setting doesn’t make sense to everyone and for good reason. when we write our goals down and then constantly look at them, we subconsciously tell our brain to red flag any thought that comes into our mind, which relates to one of our goals.Goals allow your mind to place an importance indicator on every thought you have, from important to least important.Goals are really just focusing your thoughts on the things you want and discarding everything else — groundbreaking!

10. EMBRACE THE PRESENT :

We are all here for some special reason. Stop being a prisoner of your past. Become the architect of your future.We live in a fast-paced world, where we all wear the busy badge. However, it’s important to live like a child and embrace the joys of the moment.While you have dreams and ambitions, celebrate the journey that will take you there. Love the tiny successes and the failures along the way. Practice gratitude and stop putting off your happiness for the sake of achievement.
