Session #3: The Greatest Success Strategy
You Can Implement Right Now

Here is part 2 of session 3. If you missed part 1, click here

You read the story about the miracle man, my father, in part one of this session. I am sharing his miracle stories to inspire you into action once and for all because what you have to do to turn your burning desires into reality cannot compare to what my father went through during the last six and a half years of his life.

I shared with you how he was saved on the tennis court within two minutes after he went into sudden cardiac arrest. His life was saved but he went into a coma due to a loss of oxygen.

When I arrived at his hospital bed in the critical care unit, I was confronted with a very grim story. My father was being kept alive by a ventilator machine. He had tubes and monitors everywhere. He was lifeless, like a vegetable. The doctors suggested we consider taking him off the ventilator machine because they had no medical plan for his recovery and they offered no hope.

Deep down inside my family and I knew this man wasn’t ready to go. After all, he was the driving force behind his community purchasing automated external defibulator (AED) machines just three months earlier in case of sudden cardiac arrest. He was a trendsetter as other nearby communities began to purchase the machines and he was the first person the AED machine was used on at his tennis club. He was on a mission to save lives and certainly this trendsetter’s life would not be taken before his work barely began!

For two days we sat by his side and asked him to wiggle his toes. That would be a sign he could hear us. After two days, our dreams came true as he began to wiggle his toes on command! The hospital and medical staff were amazed and everyone’s doubts immediately turned to hope and that the impossible was now probable.

For the next several months, my father had to relearn everything like a baby – eat, talk, breathe on his own, remember things, walk, etc. I never saw someone so determined about anything. His goal was to play tennis again. In the rehabilitation centers he motivated other patients by his humor, enthusiasm, hard work, and determination to get back on the tennis court. His attitude inspired everyone who knew him to never give up no matter what the odds are against you.

Success Strategy:

Providing value for a group of people you decide to take a stand for on a particular topic is how to achieve extraordinary success in your career or business. There’s nothing else that’s more important – except taking action of course. Oh, and believing in yourself and being incredibly determined.

His life was what was at stake. He believed he could play tennis again and he did. He was nicknamed the “miracle man” and he lived six and a half more years. My father’s last effort to make a difference in the world led to his saving lives like his own. He helped bring back loved ones at his community and many others at neighboring communities.

It’s been several years since he passed away. He continues to save lives and bring back loved ones, even now after he’s gone. He made a difference in the lives of others by his attitude of belief and determination and by implementing his mission without hesitation.

I hope my father’s story inspires you to get over your fears and doubts and lies about yourself so you create something others in the world will benefit from. That is how you will make a difference perhaps even after you’re gone. This is so much more about how the world will benefit from your efforts and not about your doubts. So start believing even if no one else does and especially if you believe all the odds are against you. Get going…..life is too short…put it all on the line right now.

SHARE YOUR CREATIVE TALENT WITH THE WORLD

(Do you have a creative talent you’d like for me to consider sharing with people across 20 countries? Do you have an article that would inspire others? Contact me at lori@Loridavila.com)

My dear friend David Keeler is an extraordinary leader who has run companies as President and has co-collaborated with Zig Ziglar. He has a gift of inspiring people through his creative song writing. Please listen to his song "High Road". Here’s what he has to say about this song:

“High Road” is one of my favorite songs that I have ever written. It really focuses on transformation in regards to the fact that we can’t change or forget about our past but that we can decide.. today and every day for that matter.. that we can transform our hearts, our souls, and our minds by taking the High Road in everything we do, touch, or influence. It is an attitude and then a behavior that is very much like breathing…..every breath keeps you going…every High Road action keeps you growing!

High Road
(Written by David Keeler)

Song Lyrics

When you stop and think about it
Life is nothing more
Than the balance of good and evil
Than the tally of the score
One for you here
One for you there
Ask yourself this question
Do you really care?

I want to make a difference
I want to go all the way
I want to take the high road
And keep rising everyday
Rising to the world
To be all that I can be
I want to take the high road
Baby you can count on me

I never would have though
That this is where we’d go
It’s kind of funny now
About all the seeds we sowed
I wouldn’t change a thing
Or replace a memory
I can’t erase my past
Our alter my history

(Chorus)
There’s no turning back
Or will to second guess
My feet are to the fire
This time I know we’re blessed
I will give it all I got
My heart, my soul, my mind
You can tell me what you’re thinking
And how you fell inside
(Chorus)

Session #3: The Greatest Success Strategy
You Can Implement Right Now

First, What Am I Doing and Why Am I Doing This?

My mission in life is to help YOU realize your greatest potential. I’m doing this by sharing free and valuable information that I hope will change your life in a profound way. I know not everything I send will be useful to you but I hope you’ll pick out what you can use.

With the Internet, today it’s possible to reach and help hundreds of thousands of people around the globe by providing valuable information. My online statistics show me I’m doing this as I am reaching people in over 20 countries. It blows my mind!

What does this have to do with you? If you simply just watch what I do, you can learn my strategies for providing value to people. Providing value for a group of people you decide to take a stand for on a particular topic is how to achieve extraordinary success in your career or business. There’s nothing else that’s more important. So watch what I do.

And yes, in case you’re wondering, I do generate revenue in my business so if you don’t mind, I’ll share promotions and ways you can work with me (resume writing and coaching open slots, events, programs) every once in awhile. You can do the same, especially if you’re looking for a new gig, but do it after you’ve provided value!

The Miracle Man – An Amazing Story of
Belief and Determination

A Story to Inspire You Into Greatness

Let me share with you a quick story about my father. People who knew my father called him the “Miracle Man”. Let his story inspire you to not hold yourself back.

My father lived a good life. He was an accomplished dentist, he had a wonderful marriage, three children, and took time off during his working years to do what he loved – travel and play tennis. His lifelong dream was to retire to South Florida so he could play tennis year round, which he did. He (Dr. Samuel Gitow) also provided so much value, contribution, and inspiration to his community and many others.

My parents retired to a community where he also gave back in a big way. As a community member of the board, he urged the board to purchase automated external defibrillator (AED) machines for both the golf and tennis clubhouses. He also organized the fire department to teach residents and staff CPR skills in case of a medical emergency. He was motivated to take these actions because his brother-in-law dropped dead on the tennis court at the very same community years earlier after suffering sudden cardiac arrest. Medical assistance arrived at the scene too late.

On July 4, 1998, after a magnificent day whitewater rafting in the Tennessee mountains, I received a phone call that my father was in the hospital. He had suffered sudden cardiac arrest on the tennis court and was in a coma. (The fact that you see him playing tennis in the video…

after this happened is a miracle in itself).

My father was the first person who the AED was used on only three months after the units were purchased. The tennis pro rushed to his side within two minutes to administer the life saving procedure. The ambulance was at the scene within six minutes and healthcare professionals said my father would have never survived without the AED machine and quick response on the part of the tennis pro and staff.

He had suffered a loss of oxygen which caused him to go into a coma, and in the next blog post, I will share his miraculous recovery story despite the doctors not believing it was possible. Stay tuned.

FINAL THOUGHT: What can you accomplish that you believe isn’t possible?
