Hope works in these ways …

It looks for the good in people

Instead of harping on the worst;

It discovers what can be done

Instead of grumbling about

What cannot;

It regards problems,

Large or small, as opportunities;

It pushes ahead when it would

Be easy to quit;

It lights the candle instead

Of cursing the darkness.
- Anthony Robbins

I love the game of Basketball! 

I grew up in a small town in Kentucky and loved to play the game.  

We had a nice goal in the yard, our court was paved in asphalt.

I played in grade school and for a while my freshman yr. of High School. 

In College you could always find me shooting hoops after class by myself or with friends. 

Today's quotes are in honor of the great game that has given me a lot of joy in life!

Don’t ever give up!”

Mental toughness

A pair of basketball goals
in some out of the way place.”

We are what we imagine.

Our very existence consists

In our imagination of ourselves. 

The greatest tragedy that can

Befall us is to go unimagined.

What a pity that so many people

Rather believe their doubts and

Doubt their beliefs …

No doubts, and believe our beliefs!

Fear and worry is just the misuse

Of the creative powers we originally

Got to dream.

Are you a follower,
or are you a leader?

02102020 Metlife Study

Many Americans Under-insured; Few Beneficiaries Find Amount of Life 

Insurance Proceeds Meets All Their Needs

A husband’s or wife’s premature death can have a long-term financial impact on
the surviving spouse. Even five to seven years after their loss, more than one-third
(36%) of individuals surveyed say they remain financially vulnerable.
The amount of the life insurance proceeds can make an exponential difference in 
the strength of a safety net, according to findings released today from MetLife’s  
Study of the Financial Impact of Premature Death.
For example, about half (53%) of widows and widowers who received three or 
more years of household income in life insurance benefits felt financially secure
 in the year following their loss.
However, that percentage drops to 27% for beneficiaries receiving a lesser 
amount and to only 11% for survivors who collected no life insurance proceeds.

About the Study
MetLife’s Study of the Financial Impact of Premature Death was fielded June 12 – 26, 2009 by Zeldis 
Research Associates. The study was comprised of 1,000 widows and widowers. All participants had
lost a spouse withina period of six months to seven years prior to the survey, and the deceased 
spouse was between 25- and60-years-old at the time of death.
