I had a special opportunity to sit in on a meeting of a number of professional adults not long ago and I couldn’t help but notice an interesting sequence of events starting to unfold.

I wish I could say this was the first time, but unfortunately I’ve seen this specific phenomenon happen time-and-time again in various areas of education, community and the work-place.

I’m sure you’ve seen it before.  The meetings where innovation and ingenuity gives way to an ideology of, “We’ve been doing it this way for years.”  Yes, the saying is still true that it’s tough to teach an old dog new tricks.  Hmmm…

I’ve found that the unfortunate truth is, sometimes a person’s biggest shortcoming and challenge to overcome can be a complacent, overconfident, expert-attitude and mentality that can develop under the surface of lofty credentials and years of service in a specific area.  If given any power, this type of person can really stifle a group that’s trying to expand to new levels or move into new territory.

The unfortunate reality is the person may actually be oblivious to the problem because it’s always tougher to see the BIG picture when you’re in a small frame.  I caution you today to please don’t let this be you.  Don’t fall into the trap of what I call the, “Know-it-All Syndrome” created by years of service and lofty credentials.  Commit to always stay green and growing.  Stay innovative and open-minded and never tire of encouraging creativity and ingenuity and welcoming new ideas.

Just as we can’t use old recipe’s to create new meals, we also can’t use old systems to create new ideas.  No anybody that needs to hear this message today?  Hmmm…

Let’s commit to keep our mental immune system high to prevent becoming a victim of this wretched “Know-it-All Syndrome” as we continue in our attempt to make it GREAT.

Spare-time” for years has been the deal breaker and disappointment maker for those who foolishly try to squeeze and cram their most important activities of the day into it.  The ever-elusive nature of “spare-time” has rendered it faceless and without adequate definition.  No my friends, “time” is just “time” and no one ever has any more or any less of it to “spare.”

So don’t fall victim to the “spare-time” trap like so many who have come before you.  “Spare-time” is a myth and its existence has yet to be proven.  You have to be willing to make time for those things that are most meaningful and important and then you may find that you will start to reap the benefits and rewards that well-invested time can bring.

Just another little bread crumb of wisdom that can lead you to making it GREAT.  Let’s make it GREAT!

Never take for granted the blanket of freedom that is provided by those who willingly suffer opposition both past and present.  To the point of even death is the commitment of those who join these hallowed ranks and for your service I join millions of others who choose this day to say, “THANK YOU!

I truly believe there’s none greater and more noble than he/she who would subject themselves to suffering and place themselves in harms way for the safety and security of a faceless fellowman.

May the days ahead hold many blessings for you and your families.

This once faceless fellowman says “Thank You” Veterans…
