What's Your Favorite "F" word ?
What’s Your Favorite “F” Word?
I recently sent a tweet out on twitter where I made a
statement that said:
“There are 7 “F’s” that I am thankful for”:
“1) Faith; 2) Family; 3) Friends; 4) Fun; 5) Food; 6) Fellowship;
7) Freedom”
Then I said, “What ‘F’ are you thankful for?” I was absolutely amazed at the amount of
responses I received back. Here are a
few that I want to share with you.
“Friday Night Football; Fall Football; Fruit Cocktail; Foreigner;
Fuddruckers; Funnel Cake; Fairs; Free Enterprise; Fantastic Finishes; Final
Four; Flex Fuel & Fruit Loops.”
Then I got some other answers such as:
“Financial Freedom,” which goes along with freedom. Someone else said, “Add Fantastic in front
of all the F’s,” which I thought was interesting.
One reply said, “French Fries.” Then someone responded. “French Fries are Fattening Food.” I responded, “Yeah but without French Fries
we would all eat mashed potatoes.” Someone
else said, “Let’s not forget God’s creatures with Fins, Feathers and Fur,”
which I thought was neat and also true.
Out of all the “F” words, my favorite is Forgiveness. I recently read an article that stated that people
could reduce up to 70 percent of all stress if they could just learn to
forgive. This means to forgive our self
and others. My late and dear friend
Charlie “Tremendous” Jones once stated, “The only way to find freedom is
through forgiveness.”
By sending out this tweet with 7 ‘F’s’ that I am thankful
for…the law of reciprocity kicked in. The
law of reciprocity says, “If you put it out there it will come back to you.”
Within 2-days, I had three different people calling me, writing
me, and telling me why they were thankful for something I had done to help or influenced
them in their life.
Even more proof that this law works is when I turned 42 on
the same week as my “tweet.” My family
and I went out to dinner to celebrate my birthday. Before we ate dinner, my wife Susan said, “We all have something
that we want to tell you.” Then, each
family member commenced to tell me one reason they were thankful for my being
their father or husband. Needless to
say it was a very magical moment and I will always remember the power of the
law of reciprocity.
And finally, a few days later, I received a delayed tweet
that said, “I am thankful for the Future.”
I tweeted back, “Me, too!”
Yes, today is the First day of Forever. It really doesn’t matter what happens in the
past, all that really matters is what we do now, today and for the Future. Legendary College Football Coach, Lou Holts,
says happiness is nothing more than having a short memory. We’ve all done things that we regret. As Tony Soprano says, “Fuhgettaboutit.” Of course, Follow Me on twitter at billy_cox . And Finally...Finish Strong!

Hi Evan,
That's great! Do you think it'd be possible turn the keywords listed in the profiles into links like on social networking sites? For instance, if someone's favorite entrepreneur is "Bill Gates", I should be able to click on that name to find a list of all the other forum members who share that same entry.
