Hi ELLEN,
One day, a little boy spent the afternoon building a blanket fort in his bedroom, but he had nobody to play with. His mother was busy tending to the baby, and his father wasn’t home from work yet.
When his father came home, the little boy ran up to him, greeted him enthusiastically, and asked him to come sit in the blanket fort.
The father was tired from a hard and stressful day at work, and said no in a rather grumpy way. “Son, I’ve been working hard to make money all day. Don’t bother me right now, okay? I’m too tired to play.”
Very disappointed, the boy went back to his room and sat quietly in his fort. Suddenly, he had an idea.
He ran back to his father who was dozing on the couch. He shook his father’s arm and asked, “Daddy, how much money do you make in one hour?”
The father was startled out of his slumber and none too happy about it.
“Didn’t I ask you not to bother me?” he snapped.
But the boy persisted. “Daddy, I really need to know. How much do you make in one hour?”
The father saw that his son was not going to stop pestering him so he answered, “£50. I make £50 an hour. Now can you leave me alone, please?”
The son stood there quietly for a few moments and then asked, “Daddy, I’m sorry to bother you. Can I please borrow ten dollars?”
“That’s why you wanted to know how much money I make? You’ve already received your allowance for the week, did you spend all of it already?”
“Oh no, Daddy, I haven’t spent it. I’m saving it for something very special.”
“Well I don’t have money to loan you right now,” snapped the father.
“Oh. It’s okay,” said the little boy quietly. The boy went back to his room, climbed into his blanket fort with his favourite storybook, and fell fast asleep.
The father saw that his son didn’t come downstairs for dinner. He wondered if the boy was just asking for money to buy something for his mother, whose birthday was coming up soon. Feeling guilty about being so sharp with the boy, he pulled £10 from his wallet and went to the boy’s room.
He climbed into the blanket fort beside his son.
“Hey, are you asleep?” he asked his son softly. The boy opened his eyes, saw his father, and smiled. “No, Daddy, I’m awake.”
“Here’s the money you asked for earlier,” said the father. “You must want to buy something very special.”
The boy sat up, with a big smile on his face. “Oh yes, Daddy, I want to buy something very special. Now I finally have enough!”
The boy opened a small box, took out £40, and add the £10 his father had just given him. His face became very serious, and he extended the money to his father.
“Daddy, I would like to buy one hour of your time.”

Have you ever felt depressed and alone? If you have or if you do right now, let me tell you something. You  can  make it through this. I think one of the top reasons depression is so prevalent today is because people can’t seem to find their purpose. I think everyone has their own meaning of life, but not enough people are able to find what their purpose is. If you don't pick a purpose, you're lost. You're rudderless. You're compassless. You have no GPS. Every day, it gets harder, and harder, but if you can find a purpose, one door opens, then another and another. I think at every point in life, we have to ask our self: "Why are we here? What's the purpose?"  It's easy to get caught up. Many people have lent theories to why we're here, whether it'd be religion, helping others, love. At the end of the day, I think if you can find what your purpose is, make that the reason you live.

I’m going to tell you something you’re not going to hear too often that can help you beat. You need to know your competition’s strengths and weaknesses as well or better than your own. This lesson can be applied throughout your life. Any time you have competition in life, you need to know their strengths and weaknesses, so you can know how to improve your own venture to beat them out.  Sun Tzu, the famous ancient philosopher says,   "If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained, you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy, nor yourself, you will lose in every battle." Sun Tzu says in his book  “The Art of War”  that there are three levels that you can be at when it comes to knowing your competition. The lowest level you can at is level three. That basically means that you don’t know your competition, and even worse, you do

Gospel Luke 12:22-31 22 And he said to his disciples, "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you shall eat, nor about your body, what you shall put on.  23 For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing.   24 Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds!  25 And which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his span of life?   26 If then you are not able to do as small a thing as that, why are you anxious about the rest?   27 Consider the lilies, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.   28 But if God so clothes the grass which is alive in the field today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O men of little faith!   29 And do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink, nor be of anxio
