Take Inspired Action

Weddington Fire – No Alibi
September is National Preparedness Month
When I was growing up, my Uncle Mike taught me how to play the guitar. He only spoke Italian, a musical Mr. Magoo, so I learned how to understand things through the transfer of his thoughts-sort of like the medium of the ether that carries things for the computer, body language-his big sea blue eyes peering out from his thick black eyeglasses widening if I hit the wrong note and then smiling like the soothing surething that the ocean’s waves know to come in and out. Anyway, the song he sang which I still hear in my mind today was “Que Sera Sera”- which means- what will be, will be. I am persistently disciplined and made it a habit to practice every day until I conquered the song on that old guitar.
The problem is I also learned- as the chance of life would have it-that I could not live by leaving things to what will be, will be. I must TAKE INSPIRED ACTION to be who I am and live a purposeful, victorious life. One’s business in life is, presumably, to achieve success. To be successful, you must find peace of mind, acquire the material needs of life, and, above all, attain happiness. All of these evidences, states Napoleon Hill, begin in the form of thought impulses.
You are the master of your own earthly destiny just as surely as you have the power to control your own thoughts. You may influence, direct, and eventually control your own environment, making your life what you want it to be. On the other hand, you may neglect to exercise the privilege that is yours-to make your life to order, thus casting yourself upon the sea of circumstance, where you will be tossed like an empty shell on the waves of the ocean.
People who do not succeed have one distinguishing trait in common: they know all the reasons for failure, and have what they believe to be airtight alibis to explain away their own lack of achievement. Why do people cling to their pet alibis? Because they create them; Habits are difficult to break, especially when they provide justification for something we do.
Things happen; Sometimes through no fault of your own. I am a house fire survivor. I have developed a successful inventory method that provides detailed documentation in my company called Image Security. Firefighters say there is not much you can do if lightning strikes your home. Mr. Sowka, whose 3500 sq ft Weddington home burned down this week stated, “We were just unlucky that lightning struck our house this time and not our neighbors. We had only time to grab our wallets and our dogs to get out safely at 2am.”According to the Insurance Information Institute: A recent study found that lightning claim costs continue to increase-up 28% over the last 4 years.
You can minimize your loss and have peace of mind. Whether you conduct a home inventory yourself or hire a Carolinas based company like Image Security to service you, it must get done BEFORE a fire, theft, or other unforeseen disaster happens in order to receive maximum reimbursement for your loss in the shortest amount of time. “Most homeowners do not have an accurate inventory and therefore have trouble recalling or identifying the value of possessions and what needs to be replaced. As an insurance agent, I recommend to all of our clients that they document all of their personal belongings. The type of service that Image Security offers is one that all business and home owners should have to help execute proper and timely claims”, said Chad Hannon, State Farm Insurance Agent.
It has been said that life is a checkerboard; the player opposite you is time. If you hesitate before moving, or neglect to move promptly, your checkers will be wiped off the board by time. You are playing against a partner who will not tolerate indecision. The alibi is now obsolete.
Image Security is a practical and essential service that provides homeowners proper documentation of their personal assets. In the event disaster happens to your home or business, we allow clients to produce documentation of their belongings to make accurate and timely insurance claims, supply detailed police reports, and support estate planning records. With Image Security, you get the snapshot of your life.
