The Greatest Word of All
“A great love is not one that just fills your heart - it moves your soul to act.” - Unknown
Today, my wife and I celebrate being married for 32 years!💒
People often ask me what motivates me.
Well, one of the greatest motivators that I’ve EVER had and ever will have, is my wife.💕♥️💕
My wife was with me when I had no money.
She was with me when I made some really good, not great, but really good money.
She was with me when I lost it all.
She was with me when I received my first money order for an information product I had sold via what used to be called “mail order” - you know, direct marketing.
She was with me when I started making some great money as a marketing consultant; using my telephone, my ability to network and some plain, old, guts.
She was with me when I started telling my family and “friends” about how we could all make money with this “new thing” called the Internet; and most people laughed at me.
She was with me when I made my first dollar online, selling something on some website you may have heard of, called eBay - and the laughing stopped. 💰💸💰
My wife was also there when someone stole my identity, ruined my credit and worse, my reputation.
The great news? She was with me when I made a GREAT comeback!
She was with me when I was young, healthy and strong.💪
She was also standing next to me in April 2003, about to have the first of our two sons in May 2003; when the doctor told me that I had Type 2 diabetes.
In 2020, when the doctor said that both of my kidneys were damaged and that I would need dialysis and eventually a kidney transplant in order to live, once again, she was standing right next to me.
She was with me when toxins (caused by Chronic Kidney Disease) overwhelmed my body; causing me to lose strength and movement in my arms and legs - and also causing me short-term memory loss and more.
She was with me when I received a phone call on November 19, 2022; telling me that some incredible person(s) had taken their loved one off of life support, so some stranger could have another chance to live - and that I was that stranger.
She was with me when doctors had to revive me after the life-saving, yet very complicated kidney transplant surgery very early the next morning - November 20, 2022.
She was with me when doctors explained to me that I had lost almost 30 pounds of muscle, due to losing MAJOR amounts of fluid during the transplant surgery.
She was with me when I literally had to learn how to walk again, after that same surgery.
She was with me, helping me, encouraging me, challenging me and motivating me when I first started physical therapy and occupational therapy.
She was with me as I “graduated” from not being able to walk at all, to using a walker, to using a cane - and then finally walking all by myself.💪💪💪
She was with me when I was told that part of my medical benefits were being taken away and that we would have to pay for the rest of my healthcare out of our pockets.😒
She was with me when we received notice that ALL of my health care coverage had been eliminated - and we were left to pay for everything out of our own pockets.😡😡😡😡😡
She was with me when one of the largest banks in the world, known for its (well-documented) fraudulent activities, committed fraud against us; while I was literally in the hospital, clinging to life. 😡😡😡😡😡
If God spares our lives, she’ll be with me when I make another GREAT comeback.
My wife joined me many years ago on my mission of H.O.P.E. (Helping Other People Excel) - and she’s with me now.
She was with me when I started this pursuit of my greatness and motivating others to not only pursue their own greatness, but to achieve it.
She was with me when I created the plan to take this pursuit of greatness to an incredibly high level that most people wouldn’t dare to imagine.
She has been with me EVERY DAY, as I’ve taken actions, both offline and online, to make it happen.
My wife has been with me, the writer, the marketer, the entrepreneur who is determined to reach all of his goals.
Again, if God spares our lives, she’ll be there when it’s no longer a goal or a dream, but it’s our reality.
She’ll be there WHEN I achieve my ultimate greatness.💪
So....
What is it that motivates me and “pushes” me to ALWAYS pursue my greatness (and achieve it), no matter what?
It’s my faith in God and this great love that doesn’t just fill my heart - but moves my soul to act.
It’s this love that I have for my “GFG” (Gift From God) - my wife.
Oh, what’s her name?
Someone who could a) marry someone like me, in the first place and b) stay with me through all the stuff I just talked about and a whole lot more, could have just one name.
Her name is Mrs. Great! - of course. 😂😎😁
Now, who or what is YOUR great love?
You know, one that doesn’t just fill your heart - it moves your soul to ACT?
Whoever or whatever that love may be, let that love motivate you to not only pursue your greatness, but to also achieve it!
If this message, The Greatest Word of All, has touched your heart and caused you to think about someone or something that will move your soul to act, share it with someone else today, right now, in this very moment.
To OUR Greatness, 🤝
Mr. Nate the Great! 😎💪
