Love - the essence of WA success
During my short stay here, I have found a community of givers that remind me of the essence of Christian leadership - Love. This is often a strange concept to the outsider, as it is generally considered that Christianity is, in essence, the belief in the God Christ and nothing else.
However, it is written in scripture that Christian life is the expression of the teachings of Christ - some of the teachings directly from his utterances and examples while on earth and from his disciples and apostles; from those who carried on his work and continued to spread the Word, the Good News, such as St Paul. the outpouring of Love was always present in their speech and activity.
In his first letter to the Corinthians, Paul explains that nothing is wrong with being ambitious, of having knowledge, of the need to have and harbor hope and faith in one's ability to succeed in achieving one's ambition, which should then be shared. But, he stressed, if you give and you do not have love, then the giving is of no consequence. If you believe in what you are doing but you do not do it out of love, then the doing is not sustainable. if you sit and wish and hope for success, but without the true cloak of love, then the hope is without strength and possibly pointless.
" In short, these are three things that last: faith, hope and love; and the greatest of these is love." (I Corinthians 13:13.)
In this context, the word love is not the same as that which is used in today's English language to mean physical affinity and or desires. It is rather the selfless love embedded in the Greek word "Agape" - selfless love that does not require any relationship between persons, but which plainly and simply means loving others as they are - creatures like ourselves, God's children. Just because, so to speak.
This is the type of selfless love that is exhibited by the persons in the general chat area and on the profile spaces of the members of the WE Business Community. Persons give of their time and talent without knowing us "Newbees" and without asking us for a cent or dollar. They simply answer our questions, point us to solutions and even repeat answers without any sign of frustration or anger, without hesitation.
On behalf of all the newcomers, and all the future Newbees, I say THANK YOU to the patient and tolerant persons within the Community who have been attending us. Your selfless giving of knowledge and experience is transcendental. Big success must befall you, now and in the future. I recognize the leadership of Kyle and Carson and pray for WA's continued success.

I was actually reviewing another company and came across Steve, who is also a member here at WA. After reading one of the most honest reviews that I have read in a long time I followed him on his site and it lead me here.
From day one of going through his instructions and introduction to WA I have truly been amazed, and completely thankful for the series of very fortunate events that have taken place, and from day one everyone here has been so helpful, so once again that let me know that this was what I had pray for.

Hi Esther, there is wisdom in your comments. The more we act on the opportunities the greater the probability of success. Flailed attempts are to be expected when action is taken, but these should not be our door closer. We must push on. What is to be will be, if we make the effort. I agree, where there is help and guidance like that found on WA, following instructions is a sure way to increase the chance of success. Keep in touch. Keep good.
Hi Walhe, thanks for taking time to read and comment on the above.
I also read your blog on the use of MS Excel in recording the results of the KWS.
I would take Labman's route, finding it easier (as I do use Excel quite a bit in the financial modelling work that I do on my day-job.) However, truth be told, I am still a pen an paper person - I think for worse - and it is taking me some time to cross over into the virtual. Regarding the KWS and the niche discovery, WA's general advice to start with that which I know is proving useful, especially since I am trying anxiously to master the basics in order to move forward.
Hi Julie, thanks for the encouragement and for the contents on your profile. Hope we could progress together at WA and on your own ventures.
Hi Esther,
I can see from your ranking that you are quite active here at WA, and that is inspirational to the rest of us newcomers. Indeed, it appears to me that we joined at about the same time and I have been following you since then. I know you will move forward rapidly at some point. Please let me know of the websites, blogs and IM activities you undertake going forward. Continuing here could only lead to greater competence.
Hi Hudson, I am inspired by your story. I visited Cyprus twice before, during the mid 80's, and I totally loved it. I had to travel via Athens on one occasion and that was a lovely trip all told.
I am amazed at your story of being retired for the 5th time. What a thing; and your health issues speak of personal agony and triumph... you were born to live. Glad to meet you on WA. I look forward to learning much from your posts. What online business are you into now?
Keep good
