I’ve been doing that “thinking” thing again lately and I would love to give out a little unsolicited advice today as we all head into yet another welcomed weekend.  The advice is simple, “don’t follow the ‘money’ in life follow your ‘motive’ in life.”  Now it should be automatically understood that in order to follow your motive you have to find it first.

Your motive should represent your center and your cardinal focus and intent in this life and once identified everything else should build out from there.  So I guess a good question today is, “Have you found your center motive yet?”  Or maybe an even better question is, “Are you even looking for it?”  Hmmmm…  No need to answer out loud, just make me proud and stand out from the crowd. 

Let’s make this weekend soooo awesome that last weekend gets insanely jealous.  Our motive is to make it GREAT!

I feel the sudden urge today to issue the following words of encouragement to someone(s) in eye and ear-shot of this message:  Move forward with complete confidence today knowing that even if your decision turns out to be the wrong one, it’s still the right decision for you at this time. 

Over the years I’ve learned that as we pray for guidance and wisdom to make the “right” choices and decisions we must also understand that some of the not-so-good results of our choices and decisions are creatively designed to build us up and make us better and stronger.  Failure, setbacks and negative consequences are an absolute must along our life’s journey if we intend to grow and gather wisdom.

A great rule of thumb to help prevent a good number of the setbacks and disappointments is to be sure that you continue to read, listen and participate in things that are designed to better equip you for the adversity and struggles ahead.   Simply put, our surrounding voices will determine our life choices, both good and not-so-good.   So let’s be sure to continue in our self-education efforts and embrace the learning process and see the lessons in it all so as to avoid any repeat sessions. 

So let’s all proceed with CONFIDENCE and make it GREAT!

E ver been called a “Good for nothing“?  Well, I have, and today I’m officially taking the sting out of this phrase by starting a “Good-4-Nothing” Club.  It’s simple, to be a member you just have to agree to engage in doing “Good” for people and expecting absolutely “Nothing” (no money) in return.  These acts can be in your immediate community or in the world at large.  Sounds tough but you’d be surprised how easy it is once you get the hang of it.  It has been said that “service is the rent we pay to occupy our space on earth”.  So if this is true, then I think this “Good-4-Nothing” thing is right up our Creators alley. 

Take the pledge today by logging onto www.CedricCrawford.com and signing up to be a member of my site.  It takes less than 30 seconds, yep, it’s that simple.  All registered members are considered to be self-proclaimed “Good-4-Nothings”. And I randomly select members to contribute to their favorite, worthy cause.  They also receive other free notices, downloads, video’s and updates from me that are loaded with life-altering value. 

So sign up and go up today.  My vision is that we will be One Million strong in less than 24 months.  Let’s choose to keep striving to make this world a GREATER place.  Dare to join the rest of us and Make it GREAT!

I was flying to an event not long ago and was anxious as usual to get to my destination.  I’d taken flights like this dozens of times before without incident and this particular one was not expected to be any different. 

As I was sitting in my seat watching the flight-attendants do their normal pre-flight instructions, I had one of my “Hallelujah moments of clarity”.  Among the many instructions she was giving she stated, “In the event of a loss in cabin pressure, oxygen mask will automatically drop from the ceiling.” She then said the following profound words.  “First place your mask securely over your own nose and mouth and then help the person next to you.”  That’s when it hit me, this parallel also exist in the area of personal development.

We can’t expect to be able to adequately help someone else until we’ve equipped and educated ourselves, because as they say, “The blind can’t lead the blind”, right?    Hmmmm…

I encourage you today to make sure your seat-backs and tray-tables of knowledge and wisdom are in their upright and locked positions, and secure your mask of continual education first, then reach out to help your neighbor.  After all, the first and most important step of help starts with ourselves. 

Don’t miss this message today.  Continue to lean forward and work on bettering your best and helping the rest as we attempt to make it GREAT!

My new book will knock your socks off, then help you to put them back on properly.  So, be sure to pre-order your copy today to take advantage of the pre-order bonuses.

What a Magnificent Monday it’s going to be simply because I refuse to settle for anything less than a MAGNIFICENT day.

Over the years I’ve discovered that life is really what you make it and it starts with each day.  I encourage you to set your positive attitude in advance for the day and make a pact and promise to yourself that no matter what happens you won’t give anyone else the power to change your prearranged attitude. 

We must be careful about letting what people say or don’t say, or the things people do or don’t do negatively affect us.  We must choose to stay in control of the one thing that no one can ever take away from us, which is our attitude.  Yes my friends, the old saying is true, “Attitude” is everything.

The last time I checked I confirmed that we still only get one time through this thing called “life”, so let’s wrap our hands around the throat of this life and choke it until it screams “UNCLE!” and gives us what we want.  Grab a good book on a daily basis and pre-set that attitude for a positive, productive day as you continue in your efforts to make it GREAT. 

My new book “Make it GREAT” is designed specifically for your daily Motivation, Inspiration, Education and TRANSFORMATION!  So don’t wait to secure your copy in advance.  (All pre-orders includes a signed copy and FREE bonus audio CD that’s packed with content.)  Always remember that the most costly investment is the one that you DON’T make in yourself.

Don’t wait to Make it GREAT!
