I cannot wait to get to the post office this morning to mail my federal tax return!
I am excited to be able to pay a lot of taxes this year! You know why? Because I made money! If you do not make money, you do not pay taxes!
I'd like to encourage you today to have the proper mindset in when it comes to paying your federal taxes.

"You always want to leave your audience wanting more." What does this mean? We got to be careful even in our conversations when we are getting to know people even better. You want to leave them wanting a little more. You do not want them leaving and saying "I am glad that is over!". There are also cases that when we are in the phase of knowing someone better, we talk a little too much about our ourself. It would be best to turn the conversation around. Always point it back to the person you are with. In doing so, we are leaving a sweet taste in their mouth, like they can't wait to get back to that conversation.

We cannot hold people captive. We cannot do it in our relationships. Let go of the transgressions.
As what it is stated in Ephesians 4:31-32 31
Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. 32 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
So as with Psalm 103:12
12 as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

Avoid living your personal life like playing not to lose and not to win. I'd like to encourage you to do that. Do not be afraid and tackling things that come in our way. We need to be going forward. Guys, we cannot live so conservative, run the clock out, be complacent (like what's being done by a winning team in ball games when the game is about to end) and not living to win, we are living to protect and to not lose. You will avoid boredom by "playing to win". You will be successful by "playing to win". Life is an adventure. Go forward. Press on!

Have the courage to tell people the reason you are inviting them to a dinner or lunch. Do not bait and switch! Do not do that to people! I want you to be honorable and credible in your motivation. Do not get there and slip it in. If you do business that way, people will lose respect for you. Guys, we cannot do the bait and switch. We cannot do it with our wives, children, friends or colleagues.
