#MylesSpeaks – Seize Your Moment

“You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island of opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land; there is no other life but this.”
― Henry David Thoreau

I watched the #BarrettJackson Auto Auction live on Friday and one of the cars auctioned off was the very last C7 #Corvette that will ever be made. It’s a Black Z06 with all the muscle and sexiness that you’d expect from such a machine…

The auction house waived its fee and #Chevrolet donated 100% the proceeds to a program that builds homes for catastrophically wounded and disabled veterans.
As the auctioneer barked out “I got 500 thousand, can I 550?”, the TV announcer said, “This is a once in a lifetime opportunity!” I instantly thought about all the opportunities that present themselves to us every day that we allow to pass us by because we weren’t in a position to fully grasp them. Many of those opportunities never come back around because somethings, when you miss them, they are gone like Haley’s Comet. There was one person who decided that this car was their opportunity and their moment and they came ready to seize it.

The winning bid came in at a whopping $2.7 million dollars for this piece of history. Why, is this particular Corvette so special you might ask? When the car that was won in this auction rolls off the line in Bowling Green, KY in September, it will mark the end of the C7 or 7th generation Corvette and will be the last generation built with a Front-mounted engine. Beginning on July 18th, the C8 or 8th generation Corvette will roll off the line, for the 1st time ever, with a Mid-mounted engine. If you’re not a car enthusiast, just trust me, this is a really big deal! 🙂

For the person who made the purchase to get this car, they have etched themselves in the annals of car collector heaven and have also attached their family to this amazing time in history. There will be countless stories told about the owner of this car, their passion to buy this car, and what does it mean to now own this car. This is a dream car and congrats to the new owner and the charity that will reap the benefit of this purchase.

What is this lesson behind all of this? When your opportunity presents itself to you for you to possess your dreams, the price that you’ll have to pay will be well worth it. Not only that, somebody will benefit greatly from the payment you’ll gladly make!

Your moment may not include a high performance sports car. However, I AM certain of this, there is something that passionately drives you. Even if it doesn’t make sense to anyone else, YOU MUST SHOW UP AND YOU MUST GET IT AT ALL COST! Seize YOUR Moment!!

A Letter to My Young Son

“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”

– Proverbs 22:6 (KJV)

Hello Little Myles,

Today is September 10, 2017 and it marks exactly 6 months since your 1st Birthday and exactly 6 months until your 2nd Birthday. A lot has happened since you have turned 1. Our family has had a series of ups and downs, twists and turns, and highs and lows. Through it all, as a whole, we have made it through many storms.

In one of our biggest trials, we lost your grandfather 2 days after my 39th Birthday. It was a difficult moment, but one thing is for certain, he loved our family deeply and expressed it with everything he had left in his tank. When we would speak on the phone, from the time I told him that you were on the way to us from the Spirit realm, even until the last conversation we ever had, he always talked about how he could not wait to see you person. Unfortunately, that never happened. Although I sent him several pictures and would let him say hello to you on the phone, I did not physically get you there to see him in Pennsylvania. That has been the most disappointing part of this whole process.

My Prince, I have learned a very valuable lesson from this moment that I will now teach to you. Life is not a game like football or baseball. It is not a video game that will allow you to get a do over if you make a mistake. Life will require that you make every move that you take count. You will have golden opportunities to be great and leave an indelible mark on this world, but you cannot hesitate, delay, or procrastinate. God has blessed you with the very best genes from your mom and I and the world is truly yours for the taking.

Son, even with that statement, I wish that I could tell you that life would always be a bed of roses, but I’m not going to lie to you. Life can and will be challenging. You will experience some tough time, heartaches, and have some setbacks. But it’s ok, it’s part of the journey that will reveal your destiny to you. You’ll find that what irritates you most, is probably what you’ve been sent to this earth to solve. Don’t worry. Young Myles, you are created from greatness to operate in excellence. You have every resource that you can possibly imagine to do everything you could possibly imagine to do. Your siblings are going to be there for you. However, you have no room to be lazy or complacent because nothing in this lifetime will be given to you. You’re going to have to trust God, move quickly, remain focused, supply the required effort, and always finish strong!

In your life journey my Son, I decree and declare that you will be free of the struggles that in many instances subdued the free-flowing greatness of myself, your mom, and our ancestors. I decree and declare that at every challenge, you’ll stand tall in handling it and that you will be the example of God’s grace, favor, and blessings. I decree and declare that you will meet with favor in all your endeavors and that success will come free and clear without strings attached. I decree and declare that you shall guard your heart with all diligence because from it comes the issues of life. I decree and declare that you will meet, love, and marry a Dynamic young lady in the due season that will love you and your Divine assignment. I decree and declare that your dreams will be free from limitations and that you’ll be able to operate your gift with great command. I decree and declare that you when your natural nemesis shows up, that you’ll be fully equipped to deal with it handily with grace and swagger! Ultimately, I decree and declare that everything you touch abundantly prospers beyond measure and that lack of any kind is never known in your domain!

Baby Boy, you got this. Always know and remember, “The Life of YOUR DREAMS is WONDERFUL and YOU DESERVE IT!”™

Love you very much,

Your Dad

Cosmic Intelligence

By: Myles W. Miller

“You can’t depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus.”

– Mark Twain

Someone, who I had considered to be an expert, once told me that something I wanted badly to do “couldn’t be done because it had never been done before”… Then one day, I saw someone else doing that very thing that I wanted to do so badly and getting paid a king’s ransom to do it… I mean it was something that could have changed the entire trajectory of my family’s life for the next 2 to 3 generations!

The moral of the story is that if you get a vision and passion to do something, it is your responsibility to execute the requisite steps to bring it into fruition…

Also remember, witty prosperous ideas are like radio waves being transmitted at a certain cosmic frequency… Anybody in the area who has a properly working receiver (imagination) can at any moment tune in… In essence, you don’t have a lot of time when these phenomena choose your spirit as a conduit through which to manifest because someone else who is also willing, able, and ready to respond is getting the signal as well!
