I just started cutting back on my carbohydrate intake a few days ago and I’m suddenly reminded all over again that our body and mind will put up a vicious fight and mount an all-out war against us to maintain its status quo. A barrage of weapons including headaches, fatigue, irritability and constant cravings for sugar are being thrown at me from all angles and no time of day appears to be off limits.

No this battle is nothing new for me. I’ve seen it before and I remember what it took then and what it takes now to overcome and become what I desire to be. The illusive key to getting desired results was and always will be adopting a resolve to win the small battles against the body and mind one battle at a time and then victory in the war eventually will become yours.

Many have adopted this philosophy and made it their own and as a result they’ve achieved and received the results they desired and it should come as no surprise to know that “you can too”.

Yes my friends this is indeed a “You Can Too” story, in fact, this philosophy works for just about everything we do in this “life” thing. You see, our own human nature is to fall in love with the comfort of the status quo, even if it’s not so comfortable. So, in our quest for change in anything, beware because our most formidable foe may actually turn out to be our own mind and body fighting to maintain the status quo.

So commit today and you can have your way at Making “it” GREAT whatever “it” is for you.

GREAT DAY!!!

“If I built a house like that I would never sell it.” was the statement one of my group-home boys made after seeing this picture of the place my wife and I built for our family and used to call “home”. I smiled at him and then gently told him, “If genuine Joy is what you seek, then the M&M’s of life will never be enough, because the genuine joy is never found in the stuff.”

As expected, he looked at me with a puzzled scowl on his face and said, “What?” I then explained to him that Money and Material things (M&M’s) will never be enough because genuine joy and satisfaction is never found in “stuff”.

Yes my friends, we can never obtain and sustain genuine joy from what we “receive or achieve”, it’s ONLY made possible from what we “give & how we live”. So the money, job promotions, fancy clothes, fine homes and cars can only get you so far, but the ever-elusive joy is an inside-out job obtained only by giving and purposeful living.

My little group-home buddy struggled with this one a bit but I think a seed of warning has been planted that may one day be instrumental in giving him what he seeks and desires most.

So, a good question for you today is, “Are you giving or getting more these days?” Hmmm… Please don’t answer this question here, just make sure you’re crystal clear. Don’t be surprised if that special Toy falls short of bringing the genuine Joy. Just Fyi… 🙂

This little breadcrumb of truth just might lead you to Making it GREAT!

I invite you to take a peek at my acronymical definition of CHANGE and consider how it may apply to you in the days ahead:

CHANGE: Choosing to Have A New Goal to Explore.

During the process of CHANGE, we should consider spending less time and energy on maintaining the status quo of what “was” and “what used to be” and re-focus our energy on giving and getting the maximum benefit and value out of what currently “is” and “is to come”.

I encourage you to explore some new possibilities during times of CHANGE and evaluate your new role and set some new goals and consider leveraging your talents and gifts to make your best even better. CHANGE just might be that thing that gets you from “A” to where you want to “B” so you can “C” your way past “D,F & G” (Doubt, Frustration & Grief)

Let’s go Make it GREAT!

My Sunday prayer for those who dare.

May God continue to give us the knowledge and strength to knock down those closed doors in our lives and the wisdom and discernment to know which ones to leave closed and move on. Some obstacles in our lives aren’t actually obstacles at all, they’re guardrails.

I’ve been doing that “thinking” thing again today and I’d like to give you a little unsolicited heads-up that just might help you on your way to making it GREAT:

Think it NOT strange if you never find God wandering the aisles of Macy’s or shopping at the world famous Nordstrom’s or Neiman Marcus Stores because He’s only been known to shop at Goodwill and the Thrift stores in search of used, abused, irregular, damaged goods to do His handy-work through.

So, if you don’t have any hurts, hang-ups or unhealthy habits, or faults, fallacies or past failures, He simply can’t use you. So, I regret to inform you that if you’ve lived a perfect life, you need NOT apply because no perfect people are allowed on the Good-News Crew.

Simply put, don’t be afraid to embrace your checkered past and leverage it to inspire others for a positive future.

Just thought I’d drop a little nugget of truth into your day today in hopes that it will help you on your way to Making it GREAT!

GREAT DAY!!!
