What are you selling? 6/13

Even the best of us have something that we are trying to peddle and I don’t mean a bike. Many people do it for a living, selling vacuums, autos, insurance, food or even wellness. My mother use to sell World Book door to door and I sold ideas. Want to buy one?
At present I work part time at a golf course selling the idea that you are having a great time losing golf balls and acting if you are not frustrated in doing so.
Some people make a living selling pie in the sky and this takes many forms, be it land, limited partnerships, oil drilling programs or shares in thoroughbred racing horses. Here’s a question… how do you tell your accountant and or the IRS that you own the rear end of a horse and that you’d like to depreciate it?
But the most amazing thing is that for every sham there is usually a line of buyers in line to make an offer and "lose" a fast buck.

There are dozens of off the wall deals most shady at best but every once in a while someone comes up with a truly honorable one like turning corn into gasoline. Then there was a MAN that made water into wine. He and his followers had good intentions selling their line of thought that others side-tracked many a time over the years. But through the test of time one good thought and one good deed can make many a light shine.
So what are you selling today? Let’s hope it’s a smile!
