My favorite book says that we are to be content with what we have and to keep our lives free from the love of what I call the M&M’s of life (Money & Material) things.  So I invite you to join me today in continuing to be content with what we have but resolve to never be satisfied with what we’ve done.  No matter what hill we’ve climbed, distance we’ve run or great thing we’ve done we can always better our best.

I’ve learned that satisfaction and comfort are one-way streets that both lead you to a life of mediocrity and we were all intended to be and do so much more.  So I encourage you to move forward today content and grateful for what you have but not satisfied with what you’ve done.  Push to do more, be more, serve more and see more and you will soon find that you will have more.

Yes my friends the secret is out.  This breadcrumb of wisdom can definitely lead you to making it GREAT!

I’ve learned that the biggest breeding ground for negative, non-productive activity is idle time.  Yes, the negative will eventually sneak and creep its way into our idle time if we don’t intentionally fill it with something positive.

I invite you to consider the following truth today and don’t plot to kill or maim the messenger.  Negativity is very patient and cunning.  It sits in the shadows of our day watching and waiting for an opportunity to make itself known.  I believe that “Most People” continue to fall victim to the cunning, convincing ways of negativity because of their failure to read, participate, listen and associate with positive people and events on a regular basis.  We can not afford to take an extended vacation from education.  This is no doubt a problem for many and then they may often wonder why they aren’t growing or getting better.  Hmmmm…  This may be a bit harsh today, but a person that truly means you well will sometimes deliver the harsh message.

I heard my friend, Ernie Lansford, say that history doesn’t repeat itself people just repeat their history or the history of others.  I couldn’t agree more with his statement.  I believe the way we prevent our negative history from being repeated is to continue to read, participate, listen and associate.  I encourage you today to fill your idle time with positive productive activities and watch what happens. 

Think you don’t have idle time?  Oh yes you do, the chances are you’re already filling it with stuff that doesn’t help you get better at anything.  You might be confusing activity with productivity and there’s a huge difference between the two.  I encourage you to take back those moments and subdue them and make yourself a captive audience for your own personal development.  Slap in an educational and informational CD or two and listen while you’re driving.  Pick up a good inspirational, motivational book and read while you’re waiting.  Take a mutually nourishing and encouraging friend to lunch.  Attend a positive, uplifting, educational, informational event from time-to-time.  These things are guaranteed to make you better every day in every way.

The bottom line here is, don’t give negativity the opportunity to get a foothold in your life.  Have fun, be entertained and enjoy this life but watch out for those “chewing gum” activities that will just spend, waste and pass your time.  I’ve said this many times before, but it bears repeating.  Choose to “invest” that time wisely because you can’t get it back.  Doing so will definitely set you on a course to making it GREAT!

Create your Plan, Follow your Plan and then expect for things not to go quite as Planned.  This is my reality everyday of the week and twice on Sundays.

A few years ago through a series of events I created the “Make it Great” tag-line/slogan and began to attach it to everything I did.  I even had a plan to make it the title of my first book due to be released this November (2012).  Well, that was until I found out a couple of months ago that the international restaurant franchise, Pizza Hut, grabbed my slogan and trademarked it.

I must admit my first reaction was “Uughhh!  I should’ve trademarked my slogan to protect it for my brand!”  A few friends even suggested I start legal action but I didn’t want this to be part of my story.  So I immediately started to view this new development as an opportunity to make the title and slogan even better.

As a result, it is with complete joy and pleasure that I unveil and reveal the new and improved name for my book, “BreadCrumbs to Making it GREAT.”  This title has a slightly different meaning for many people and I think it is a slam dunk based on the content that’s in the book.  I would love to hear your thoughts about what this title means to you.  Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down?

Yes, this is proof-positive that things may not always go as planned, but we can make the necessary adjustments and make the original plan even better.  Let’s take this breadcrumb of knowledge and make it GREAT!

Those who have ears don’t just hear this message, but be moved to take action.  I invite you to consider this following truth today.  The quiet yearning of your true purpose and passion and unfulfilled dreams won’t ever let you be fully satisfied with anything less than their complete fulfillment and satisfaction.  They will quietly continue to call for your attention and consideration until your days are no more.

No amount of money will ever be enough to silence the ever-so-quiet beckon call of your true purpose.  No occupation will ever be able to quench the thirst of your unrealized and unrecognized passion.  The “good” is just a creative, cunning distraction from the “GREAT” and many the world over have fallen victim to settling for it time-and-time again.  Don’t let it be you.  I implore you to realize and recognize this unfortunate truth and reality and commit today that you will not be counted amongst this group of individuals who’re comfortable with settling for “good.”

Many will cast this message off as just another rambling of meaningless content and carry-on with their lives and tolerate the yearning of their unfulfilled purpose, but not you.  Many will discount and discard this message and quietly live out their lives becoming more and more accustom to turning a blind eye and deaf ear to their passion, but not you.  Many will allow themselves to be duped yet again by that internal whisper that says, “You’re okay, just continue this way,” but not you.

Yes my friends, we are indeed a different breed that will refuse to be satisfied until that quiet voice of unfulfilled  purpose is silenced.  We will refuse to ignore the yearning of our passion that’s calling us to give it our undivided, complete and consistent attention.  We will categorically reject the notion that a “good” life will do at the expense of compromising the pursuit of creating a “great” life in service to others.  We will not neglect our duty and obligation to leverage our passion and purpose in service to our fellowman and strive to make this world a much better place than when we found it.

Be encouraged today and know that I’m extremely proud of you for being the exception to the unwritten rule of settling for a life in pursuit of comfort and average.  I’m proud of you for committing to make it GREAT!

BRAVO !!!

Oooohhhh…  I can’t wait for you to get my book.
