Show Every1Counts Not If, But When By Cynthia Kimball Humphreys How many times do we say if instead of when? “If I make the team.” “If get the promotion.” “If I pass the test.” “If I lose weight.” “If I get the job.” “If I write my book.” I’ve noticed when I use when instead of if my whole outlook and attitude change, for the better that is. Not only that using when becomes contagious to others. Point blank, if is wishywashy; when has foundation written all over it. If is doubt. When is hope and confidence. When breeds results. For example, a woman I am coaching has changed her ifs to when’s and there’s now a synergy to her whole demeanor. She smiles more, is extra enthusiastic, beams confidence, is inspired about her goals, and has already reached a few since replacing if with when. Unfortunately, we tend to make more mistakes when using if. Imagine this, you’re in a basketball game and at the free throw line and you say, “If I make this…” versus “when I make this…” Or driving home in the dark, “If I make it home” opposed to “when I make it home.” See and hear the difference? One is fear-based the other, faith-based. Both are self-fulfilling prophecies. Napoleon Hill said, “Fears are nothing more than a state of mind.” Therefore we need to watch what we put in our mind and in the minds of others. Be careful not to let fear win. Mary Manin Morrissey Page 3 The Garfield County Insider October 1, 2009 said, “You block your dream when you allow your fear to grow bigger than your faith.” If is a dream and goal stop sign. It breeds doubt and lack of self-confidence. So the next time you’re prompted to say, “If I only…” or “If only…” quickly revert to, “When I…”. Using the examples above we now have, “When I make the team…”, “When I get the promotion…”, “When I pass the test…”, “When I lose weight…”, “When I get the job…”, “When I write my book…” We’ve all heard or seen on television that little devil standing on one shoulder and the angel on the other. For me, the if is that little devil telling you you can’t and that little angel is the one cheering you on shouting, “When!” Which one are you going to listen to? Let your when’s dominate and get rid of your ifs altogether. You will notice a difference. In your countenance, your attitude, your confidence, in reaching your goals and dreams, basically in every area of your life. So, too, will others. Buddha said, “The mind is everything. What you think you become.” Therefore let your when’s ignite in you what you were born to be and do since the if’s haven’t a clue.

October 4-H Spotlight Award Brian and Jennifer Bremner family. The Bremner family have lived in Panguitch for 20 years, their 7 children range in age from 28-10 years old.

The younger of the Bremner family, Breann and Nicole, are activly involved in their 4-H projects as well as many service, camp, and leadership opportunities the 4-H youth program has to offer. Having only been involved in the 4-H youth program for 3 years the Bremners are quickly grabbing on to the great resource 4-H is. Jen was quoted saying “I believe the everything we do is part of 4-H or everything we do melts into 4-H”. Congratulations to the Bremner family! Garfield County 4-H is excited to be able to continue woking with their family for years to come. Have you ever been in 4-H? Did 4-H make a difference in your life? Are you currently enrolled in 4-H? These questions are not only for youth but they are for adults too. 4-H is a youth development program where participants learn life skills. Those that have heard of the program often think 4-H is livestock, cooking and sewing. 4-H is about so much more; robotics, GPS, performing arts, shooting sports, ATV safety, just about anything can be a 4-H project (for a list of possible projects see www.utah4-h.org click the links: general forms, club enrollment, then possible 4-H projects). If you’re not enrolled maybe it’s because you think you’re too old for 4-H, this is not true! In order to be enrolled in a project a youth must be in 3rd12th grade (youth K-2nd grade can participate in a limited 4-H program), those out of high school can be a project leader (4-H is open to all youth without regard to race, gender, color, religion, national origin, or disability). So, how can you be a part of the Garfield 4-H program? 1) Find a leader and youth interested in the same project area. 2) Select a project(s). 3) Fill out the 4-H enrollment sheet (please be sure to use the new chartered club form) and the medical release from. 4) Turn your forms into the USU Garfield Extension Office. 5) Have fun in your project!
