Our Mission
The Mission of the Dave Musikant Positive for Life Foundation is to provide individuals and organizations the resources to motivate and inspire people in the areas of self-esteem, positive thinking, goal-setting and achievement, so you can "Live Your Dreams" every day.
Our Inspiration
After he was stricken with brain cancer in 1997, Dave recovered with a renewed sense of purpose and immediately referred to the tumor as "the greatest gift he ever received". Dave realized that life is too short. From that point on, he dedicated his life to helping others, regardless of their situation. In the 9 short years after he was diagnosed with cancer, until his untimely death in the fall of 2004, Dave had a profound impact on the lives of those he came in contact with, helping them to realize their dreams. If one man could have such a positive effect on others, imagine the impact of a group rallied around his cause. This is carrying on Dave's legacy.
Dave believed all of us have the power to make a difference in the world. The first step toward making a difference is believing this for yourself. Next, we need to decide who we are and what shapes our values, morals and dreams. Only then can we seek to realize the vision of who we can become. This vision does not have to be grand; it can be as simple as being more positive in life, or it can be as large as changing the world through a specific calling.
Dave Musikant inspired others through the way he lived his life and lead by example on a daily basis. All of us can change for the better no matter what is happening in our lives. We must accept that the decisions we make determine the course of our lives, and that choosing to react positively in difficult situations is up to us as individuals. This is not an easy thing to do. Living your dreams every day starts with asking yourself what you can do better to help those around you and to improve your own life. It is about unlocking the gifts bestowed upon you by focusing on the positive in all situations, and helping others to do the same.
A few of Dave's Keys to Living Your Dreams Every Day:
- Surrounding yourself with positive people
- Learning from those around you
- Setting and achieving goals that are personal
- Being respectful of others and opening your mind to those that are different
- Believing you can make a difference in every life you touch
