SEVEN GREAT IDEAS

On January 29, 2011, One! International Poverty Relief will be celebrating it's 10th year anniversary.  We have a big Gala planned for the evening. We are very excited about the evening and celebrating the successes of the last 10 years. There will be 500 people at the Gala to honour the past 10 years of "Making a Difference" in the lives of children and their families in Mumbai, India.

This celebration would not be happening if it were not for the great idea that Tania Spilchen had in the summer of 2000.

Tania personifies the following article written by Lou Tice of The Pacific Institute.

              There is nothing in the world more powerful than a good idea.
               For over 30 years, I have been traveling all over the world,
               teaching people how to break through self doubt, get rid of
               unfulfilling lifestyles and achieve success.  Here are seven
               ideas that can turn you into a super-achiever, if you will
               only use them.


First, becoming your best self is a choice you make.

Second, change happens through action and the understanding
that we create our future.

Third, dwell on your strengths, use them constantly, and watch them grow.

Fourth, embracing fear is not a one-time event, but it gets easier
the more you do it.

Fifth, procrastination does not exist. 
What exists is a passive choice to do nothing.

Sixth, believe in the importance of your ideas, and your ability
to bring them into reality.

And, seventh, refuse to give up.  Persist in the face of all opposition,
every setback, and be totally, 100% committed
to bringing about the end-result you desire.

              
              
              Commitment is an incredible, potent force that will bring to you
              all sorts of resources you may have never realized were there.
              Ideas like these turn lives around.  I can't tell you how many times
              I've seen it happen to people who thought their lives were hopeless.
              Why not get rid of the thoughts that are keeping you down and
              choose thoughts to become your best self?  The most powerful
              words in the world are,
 
"I have a great idea!"

Tania had a great idea, and on January 29, 2011 we will get together - all 500 of us - to celebrate Tania's idea, the commitment of hundreds of people all over the world who believed and still believe in her idea, and the hundreds of children and families whose lives have been turned around by Tania taking the necessary actions to bring her idea into reality.
