MLM Training- Three Powerful Things I learned from My Dad

August 29, 2008

 dad

I am writing this with a heavy heart, as my dad passed away this past tuesday and we are getting ready to head to the funeral in VA today. Seems that reality-and-mortality can catch up with you.  It is amazing that even during this ordeal, I have had a peace and was able to do 2 webinar sessions this week and also  a TV shoot.

 I guess that is what Dad would have wanted-as he always said-”Keep going-even if you cannot do it in your own strength-keep going.”

So I shall.

Having a home business makes it easy to be able to go when you need to-and have had one for 23 years. Of course now we have staff and the like-but still we get to work a lot from home. So sometimes life can hand you a situation you must go through-whether business or family- and you go though it.

But as dad always said-”When life gives you lemons-make lemonade-and  set up a stand.”

Three things I learned from dad-

1) “Always walk in integrity son, as that is the foundation of who you are.”

2) “No matter what-Belief in yourself can crush any Obstacle that comes before you.”

3) “God is always right-no matter what. He can see around corners - Trust Him.”

I will miss him.

blessings…doug

    Doug, I am so sorry for your loss. Your Dad sounds like such a wonderful man and I am glad that even in this you are experiencing peace. Thank you so much for sharing your Dad’s words here. What a blessing to read and to know that love carries on.

    Be strong Doug because you know your father is in a better place now. From the few words of his you’ve shared here he sounds like he was a good man and a great dad. He certainly raised a terrific son.

    God bless ;-)

    I still am blessed to have my Dad, but my Grampa taught me:

    1. Hug the people you have left and go on with a smile, our family has survived plague and war and those we have lost are always with you, but the ones you have left need you to be present with them.

    2. The names of the functions don’t matter, I have been a carpenter for 50 years and I already taught you more than your algebra teacher knows (& when I got to 2nd yr calculus based physics I realized he wasn’t kidding :-)!)

    3. A mother should be the child’s friend. If both people hand out the punishments then there is no one they can turn to.

    My prayers are with you as you travel. Remember to tweet if you need help along the way!

    Thanks guys- and blessings to you all. We all have a lot to be thankful for, even during a time of grieving.

    Amen!

    So sorry but I can completely relate. I’m in VA too (I guess you said your dad lived here, not you). My dad died 2 months ago and I was such a daddy’s girl, it’s been hard. Still hasn’t really hit. When you don’t live with someone anymore, you will sometimes forget they are dead. Then it hits you all over again. I know it will get better in time for both of us Doug and we are lucky to have good memories of our dads :)

    The ability to turn a negative into a positive is a gift. Sounds like not only did your Dad have that gift, but he passed it on to you.

    Dads - wonderful creations. I lost mine almost 3 years ago and I - like you now - miss him. Remember fondly your good times!

Got something to say?
