Dear Friends, Welcome to March 2011! Thank you all for you continuing support and subscription. We finally worked out the mess. Last month we were hit with a major problem. Due to past fraudulent credit card charges we have lost our Paypal account. We are the victim and we are the punished. We now have the new site with a new server up and running. We were able to continue Ebay but only with auctions. We still have our achieved Silver Power Status with Ebay and an A+ rating in Yahoo Shopping.
Gatordrums.com now points to our new server. Many of the same products are there and more are added every day. Like I said ..............I don't quit easily! Our new Checkout has a choice of Amazon or Google. A+++++++ secure!
This months article is an excerpt from Alan Cohen's meditation book A Deep Breath of Life, I do not wish to be redundant but "This guy inspires me"! If you liked it ( I do) Please support the author by clicking here.
Disappointments are the hooks upon which God hangs his victories. - Anonymous Let me tell you about a man who was plagued by defeat. In '31 he failed in business and declared bankruptcy. In '32 he lost an election for the legislature. In '34 his business failed again, and he declared bankruptcy a second time. The following year, his fiancee died. The year after that, he suffered a nervous breakdown. Two years later, in '38 he was defeated in another election. In '43 he ran for the U.S. Congress and lost. In '46 he made another bid for a seat in Congress, and he was defeated. In '48 he ran again for Congress, and again he lost. Seven years later, he entered a race for the U.S. Senate, and he was defeated. In '56 his name was placed on the ballot for the Vice Presidency of the United States, and he lost that election. In '58 he ran for the Senate and lost again. In '60-1860- he was elected President of the United States. His name is Abraham Lincoln. In spite of an incredible string of setbacks, he went on to become one of the greatest statesmen of history. He said, "You can-not fail unless you quit. " The greatest victories are those we must persevere to accomplish. It is rare that great people just show up on the planet shining in glory. Often the most powerful world-change agents grow through experience and adversity. As a young lawyer, Mahatma Gandhi was literally laughed out of court when he became tongue-tied while arguing a ten-dollar case. Later he was thrown off a South African train because his skin was dark. Gandhi went on to become one of the greatest human liberators of the 20th century. "Eat defeat for breakfast." Do not let setbacks put you off; instead, use them as springboards to the success you desire. Only those who are willing to go the distance can taste the sweetness of victory. Help me to not be put off by setbacks. Give me the strength to go all the way. I succeed because I make up my mind to emerge victorious. Please click on the banner and link below.
