MUST BE PRESENT TO WIN

Have you ever won something where the main stipulation was that you MUST BE PRESENT TO WIN?  BIG or small, you just have to be "there" in order to win?

The Cheerleader and I have these friends who were driving around one day listen to the radio.  The on-air personalities of the radio station were doing a live feed from a car dealership and one of the enticements to get people to the dealership was a car give-a-way....BUT, you had to be present to win.  Also, the clock was ticking....they were doing the drawing at a certain time..and that time was quickly approaching.

My friends raced over to the dealership, got their name in the drawing and....YEP, you guessed it...THEY WON!  All because they were PRESENT when the drawing took place.

How about you in your BEST YEAR YET...are you PRESENT?

PRESENT in your marriage?  PRESENT as a mother or father?  PRESENT as a friend or neighbor?  PRESENT on your job?  

It's very easy to get caught up in the "I'm so busy" or "I'm too busy."  Don't let the distractions of your hobby (ie - running; golfing; gaming; social media surfing; shopping; crafts; etc) pull you away from what it truly important in your life.  

Remember, if you want to have your BEST YEAR YET....if you want to have success in life with you spouse, with your kids, and other VALUES you hold up on important, then "race" to where you need to be, because:

YOU MUST BE PRESENT TO WIN!
