I had the special treat of going to the movies with my 21 year-old grandson, Brandon. We went to see Slumdog Millionaire. Yes, I recommend it; yes, it deserved Best Picture; and yes, I will watch it again.
So much impressed me, and Brandon as well. He's pretty deep for a 21 year old. There is one image, however, that is seared into my brain. It has to do with wanting things. How badly do you want....whatever? A better job, a new home, better income, good health, better relationships...whatever!
My friend and mentor, Art Jonak ( http://www.mlmplayers.com/ ) tells us that we are too comfortable. If we really wanted - REALLY WANTED - something we would go after it. I thought I knew what he meant until I saw the outhouse scene in this movie.
No one has ever wanted anything as much as that little boy wanted an autograph from his favorite movie star. He saw an opportunity and he did whatever he had to do to get what he wanted. It was an amazing scene and now I know what Art Jonak really means when he says "ya gotta really want it".
Now when one of my Vitamark Team Members ( http://www.mjo.vitamark.com/ ) tells me they want to become a Diamond Affiliate I have a new image with which to evaluate their level of want. Oh and that outhouse scene is forever burned into my own vision of what I want.
Thank you Slumdog Millionaire for so many "aha" moments, and thank you Art Jonak for all you do.
