Be Magnetic, Buy Michigan Now, job fair and a touching story

I just sent this blast:

It's exciting that my company Networked Inc. will be celebrating 10 years in business this summer. It's relevant because the company's logo is an N shaped like a magnet (you can see it below).

The magnet was chosen as a reminder that when when we clearly define what we want the life force that surrounds us bends in a way to make sure it avails itself to us. Every time. All we have to do is be aware of it happening and take appropriate action when it does.

The challenge is some folks don't believe this is possible. Others don't take the time to get clear on what we REALLY want. And those who do, rarely take the time to properly position their magnet. You have a choice right now and if you stop for just a moment to center on who you are and what you want you will derive greater enjoyment out of this moment and beyond.

I would love to know what you want to attract in your life. Kindly post it here, on our Facebook, LinkedIn and follow us/tweet us on Twitter by clicking that or tweeting us at @motorcity. It you tweet use the #mccattract.

A touching story that makes you think

My cousin Christopher Hart posted this and asked me if I would consider sharing. This article on a 20 year old disabled individual whose ability to play sports was also crippled by the MHSAA an interesting dilemma. I understand both sides of the argument and will leave it to you to draw your own conclusions: http://motorcityconnect.groupsite.com/discussion/topic/show/544900
