"Two Kinds of Voices"

There are two kinds of voices in the world. Happy voices and negative voices. Happy voices are people you enjoy being around that build you up, encourage you and they see the best in you. Negative voices are those who see the problem and not the solution, who focus on what can't be done instead of what can be done. This is something I learned recently. The greatest ideas and solutions come from negative voices. When you learn to listen with a discerning ear you will get God ideas.

For example if you have parking issues because the people are walking too far, why not start using golf carts or shuttles to transport people. If people complain today because gas prices are going up and they remember the day that there was full service at Tom's gas station and for a few cents more you could have a friendly greeting, your windshield washed, and great service. Why not gather a team from the Church and talk to the gas stations about pumping gas and cleaning windshields as a act of kindness. If people complain about it raining and getting wet as they come in the Church, why not have world class greeters greet the people with umbrellas so they can keep their clothes from being soaked and wet.

The greatest inventions come from the greatest problems. Tomorrow we will discuss that every dilemma in your life is an open door for you to release the dominant gift (greatness) that is in you. The next time you hear a negative voice, don't be so quick to run, listen to see if there is a solution in that voice.

Blessings,
