One of the biggest wastes of time I’ve experienced in my short 43 years of life on this planet is wasting time trying to explain myself or trying to offer some free, sound advice to a combative, argumentative, short-tempered, close-minded idiot.

As a result, I now have a new three word philosophy you can borrow if you find yourself in need in the not-so-distant future. That three word philosophy is, “JUST MOVE ON!!!”

Yep that’s right folks, it’s that simple. Don’t waste your time with these special types of idiots. I’ve heard of a “dog” whisperer, and a “horse” whisperer, and I’ve even heard of a “ghost” whisperer, but I have yet to hear of an “Idiot” whisperer. So just move on and let that idiot be an idiot until they’re ready to change and stop being an idiot. I know this message may be a little harsh today, but sometimes “harsh” is necessary. 🙂

So my friendly free advice for you today is to “Just Move On” and continue to Make it GREAT! 🙂

As a kid growing up in a Southern Pentecostal Church in Texas I remember one of the church-members named Sister Carter used to always sing the lyrics of a song that had the words, “Give me my flowers while I can see them so that I can see and smell the beauty that they bring”. As a young kid I would always get a chuckle out of hearing her sing that song. 🙂

Now as an adult I often reflect back to that time with fond memories and after thinking about it a bit, I now see an even deeper meaning and metaphor behind the words of that song and I would like to share my thought with you today.

While it is true that when we’re dead and gone we can never enjoy the beauty and the fragrance of the flowers in this world that our friends and family leave for us at our graveside, so too is it true that we can never know what positive thing(s) or influence we had on someone else in this life unless that person(s) takes the time to tell us how much they appreciate us.

To that end, I feel so incredibly fortunate to be a person that receives such flowers of approbation and appreciation on a regular basis from many people I’ve had the privilege of serving in some way, shape or form in this life. Nothing makes me smile bigger than knowing that something I did, wrote or said to someone had a positive impact on them.

So I invite you today to consider giving others their flowers of thanks, gratitude and recognition while they can see, hear and experience it here in this life because once we’re gone, we’re gone……

Now go Make it GREAT!

Something pretty BIG is coming and it’s written on my shirt (Pie).

No it has absolutely nothing to do with math and it’s definitely not something you put in your mouth to eat.

It’s my newest revolutionary breakthrough that not only answers the age-old question of “Why” we’re here, but it also embodies a rock-solid process that helps anyone young and old to develop their area of excellence and deliver it to the world.

This “Pie” Process is destined to become a movement that can quite potentially become a globally recognized household symbol that will be associated with making “your” impact on the world.

Critics are raving about my new “Pie” phenomenon and I can’t wait to share the steps and the concept with you and hear your reactions to it all. Be prepared to scoff in amazement. So stay tuned… 😉

Just as every good seed develops its life-sustaining roots during a struggle in darkness below the ground, so too shall the foundation of our character and integrity be developed most in our hours of darkness, strain and pain.

Yes, that’s right folks the fire of fear, failure and frustration is designed to burn-away those insignificant facades on our surface to expose what’s really underneath and then allow for us to mold and develop it for the better or worse.

Simply put, your darkest hours come ONLY to give you an opportunity to be fashioned into something even more beautiful. 🙂

So don’t be afraid to push through the darkness knowing full-well that you’re being molded for something even greater in the light.

Keep Making it GREAT my friends!

I was chatting on the phone a few hours ago with an old friend of mine from college who I hadn’t talked to in over almost two years.

“Did I catch you at work in your cubicle?” I asked, and she said, “Yes I’m at work but it’s not a cubicle, it’s a big 240,000 square feet furniture warehouse.” I then said, “Sounds like the cubicles are getting bigger and bigger these days. It’s always tough for me to see a beautiful butterfly grounded.” “Wow! That was good and I soooo needed to hear that.” she said.

We shared a small chuckle of laughter together then casually conversated to catch-up on each others current status and future goals. “I know there’s something better for me in-store and I feel like I have to get out of my comfort zone and re-engage in life the way I know I can again.” she said. I agreed.

We then took some beginner steps toward plotting an exit strategy for her to transition out of her job and back into the path of her dream and I could hear her dream of something big come alive in her over the phone. Beautiful both outside and in my friend Melinda has accomplished some huge feats in many areas of her life up to this point, but I have absolutely no doubt that her best chapter is still “to be continued…” So stay tuned for the fireworks.

So, what’s your story? Are you still in the path of accomplishing a worthwhile goal or dream of yours or are you hiding out in a cubicle continuing to convince yourself that it’s okay to just be okay? Are you a grounded butterfly that’s in serious need of another chance to fly at your highest and best potential?

Well, here’s your wake-up call from a simple facebook post. It’s never too late to start on a positive path to Making it GREAT, whatever “it” is for you. So don’t wait, start planning your exit strategy to escape that lackluster “job” and get into your “dream”.

After all, we only get one time through this “life” thing and we definitely don’t want to spend it in an area that’s outside of our passion just to pay the bills. Take some steps to turn your true area of passion into your area of profit to fuel your journey to making it GREAT and you’ll find that the taste of life is Oh-so much sweeter.

Fly butterfly, FLY! And let’s Make it GREAT!
