“Do What You’re Doing Now To The Best Of Your Ability.”
Zig Ziglar’s Granddaughter, DeDe Galindo
April 24, 2013
Today I
was honored to meet a legend in the inspirational speaking industry. She is DeDe Galindo, Zig Ziglar’s
granddaughter. What an inspiration and a
positive influence.
The
last time I saw Zig Ziglar speak before he passed away was in 2008 in Dallas,
Texas. Previously, I had seen him speak
and he was all over the stage! Running
from one end to the other…reaching out to people with unbridled
enthusiasm. He was mesmerizing! This last time I saw him, he was helped to
the stage by his daughter. He sat in a
chair for almost two hours answering questions from his daughter and the
crowd. Unbelievably, THIS time, was the most mesmerizing he has ever been.
I absorbed every word he spoke and remembered every story. Two hours seemed like two minutes. You could have heard a pin drop in the
American Airlines Center. He received a
standing ovation for what seemed like several minutes. I did not want it to end.
When I
left, I was uplifted, inspired and determined to make my life and my career an
inspiration to others. I thought to
myself, “How can such a small in stature man have the power to silence, inspire
and bring tears to thousands?”
The
answer to that question was answered again today by his granddaughter, DeDe. It was his purpose. It was his
purpose and his drive in life. He had a
genuine passion and love for helping others become better and he was a living
testimony that it worked. I realized
when I left the American Airlines Center that day, that I had a purpose driven
life and I was able to set goals that have helped me get to the place where I
am today and I haven’t stopped climbing and setting resolves for bigger and
better things.
DeDe
Galindo spoke today about following your purpose. She tells us to have the “Right Mental
Attitude.” We should always be
aware of our surroundings. Surround yourself with other purpose driven
and positive people; listen to them and keep learning.
Are you
ready when you’re big break comes? Or when opportunities present themselves? If you’re not, it can pass you by and you’ll
never know it was there. Overcome
suffering and hard times. Do not let it
take over. Get back up and find your
purpose again. Wherever you are right
now, whatever you’re doing while you’re reading this blog…do what you’re doing
right now to the best of your ability.
You’ve made decisions that have led you to this moment in time, right
now. Get up…do the best you can do right
now and every day. You will create
beautiful opportunities for success when you do.
What is
your purpose right now in your life?
