Don’t rent your life out to the highest bidder and spend the best years of your life building someone else’s dream at the expense of putting your own dreams on a shelf of neglect.

Don’t hang your passion in the corner closet in hopes that someday you will have the time to re-engage because there’s only seven days in the week and “Someday” is not one of them.

That’s right folks, “Someday” will never come without your intentional efforts to make it so.  The time is NOW and I encourage you to take the proper daily steps in the direction of taking back control of your future-fate because truly your fate is what you make.  Baby steps are okay as long as you stay on your way every day.  🙂

I invite you to consider that your biggest “enemy” is not anyone else telling you what you can’t be, it’s your “inner-me” telling you what you don’t believe you can be but your “inner-me” is a bald-faced liar.

You CAN make a difference.  You CAN rise up and make a significant impact in this world for the better.  You CAN turn your passion into a powerful promise for others and still profit.  You CAN silence the critics that may initially think you’re crazy.

You absolutely CAN be the exception to the enormous list of those who continue to be POOR (Passing Over Opportunity Repeatedly) and let Fear bully them into a life of safety, security and predictability.  But as we all should know by now that FEAR is just “False Evidence Appearing Real”.

So, don’t be afraid to step into your purpose and put that passion of yours to work in a mutual partnership that allows you to shine in your best light. And never, ever forget that we only get one time through this ‘Life’ thing, so let’s not just try to make it ‘good’ and play it safe, but let’s follow that “Passion” thing and make it GREAT!

YOU CAN’T GET OUT OF THIS LIFE ALIVE, SO YOU MIGHT AS WELL LIVE IT TO THE LIMITS!!!

Make it GREAT!!!

The big Dreaded “D” has been spotted again recently on a rampage seeking to destroy more lives as usual.  This Dreaded “D” is no respecter of persons and it is completely reckless in its disregard for human life.  In fact its “MO” (motives of operation) is to ultimately take the life of the host that it resides in.

The Dreaded “D” has been with us since the beginning of time and no doubt it will always be with us to the end of time.  It manages to do its best work in the dark corners of our life when the curtains and the doors are all closed.  Free time and the absence of good friends and family also appears to open the door for it to flourish and gain momentum.

Many over the years have attempted to control it with alcohol or drugs or other addicting, habit-forming, negative, self-medicating behavior but these actions only appear to feed its appetite for destruction even more.

Some have attempted to tame it, blame it, rename it or disclaim it, but in the end it remains unchanged.  Yes my friends this Dreaded “D” has developed a nasty reputation for unbridled damage and destruction over the years.

So what is this Dreaded “D” you may ask?  Well, it’s simply called “Depression”.  Yep, chances are you’ve come into contact with it a time-or-two yourself over the years.  Some of you may even be going through the fire of that Dreaded “D” right now.  This 10 letter word has been known to wreak 10 times as much havoc on the lives of people than just about any other phenomenon.

The reason for its success over the years is because it’s quiet and sneaky.  It has an uncanny way of sneaking and creeping its way into the lives of unsuspecting individuals in crisis or transition and then refuses to leave without a nasty fight leaving undesirable aftermath in its wake.

But take heart my friends for the kryptonite for the Dreaded “D” is the Profound “P’s”.   “Passion” and “Purpose” in action does it every time.  So find that thing that fires you up about life and create a plan and purpose to pour it into the lives of others and watch that Dreaded “D” slowly flee and lose its foothold.

This breadcrumb of wisdom can surely make the difference between you Making it GREAT or just barely making it at all.  So let’s go Make it GREAT!

The only “growing” in this life that requires absolutely no effort whatsoever is the act of growing-old, however, the act of growing-up is a choice.

That’s right folks, we all must eventually wrinkle, grey and wither away, but maturing along the way is totally optional.

Rudeness, crudeness and self-centered, blatant disregard for our fellowman should be something that never follows us into adulthood as we grow old, but for those who this shoe fits, beware because what goes-around comes-around and negative behavior has a way of attracting negative results.

To that end, I was at Costco yesterday and an elderly woman in a grey colored, four-door sedan was waiting patiently at the end of a parking aisle for another vehicle to back out.  After the vehicle had successfully pulled out of the parking space, another small white compact car came quickly whipping around the corner doing a complete u-turn maneuver and sliced right in front of the grey car narrowly missing a collision and slid into the open parking space.

HONK! HONK! HONK!!!!!” was the sound from the grey sedan in an effort to get the other drivers attention, but the female driver in the white car completely ignored the other driver.  Dozens of people in the front of the store witnessed the incident and were in awe of such blatantly rude behavior from an adult woman with kids.

I must admit that my curiosity got the best of me, so I hung around and watched as the young female driver in the white car quickly exited her vehicle and retrieved her two kids who appeared to be under four-years-old and hurried into the store to the dismay of all the onlookers not once making eye contact or even acknowledging the elderly woman in the grey sedan.

As fate would have it, minutes later I was in line in the food court area with my kids and we just-so-happened to be standing right next to the white car lady.

Hey Dad, that’s the mean lady that just stole that woman’s parking spot,” whispered my 11-year-old son Chance.  “I guess she was just in a hurry to eat…” he said.  We shared a quick little laugh then we overheard the cashier tell the woman that the pizza that she said she ordered 45 minutes ago was not ready because they didn’t have a ticket for it and she would have to wait.  Oooops…  😉

Now that’s Karma for you…” said little Chance.  “Poetic justice…” I added.

I must admit that it never ceases to amaze me the type of callous, self-centered behavior that I see grown, adult people perpetrate against others.  That love and kindness stuff that we try to teach to our kids and talk about at our churches, temples, synagogues, mosque, grand cathedrals and sacred sanctuaries is not meant to stay within the four walls.  It’s meant to be lived-out in our day-to-day lives.  Only a special kind of fool would dare model such flagrantly disrespectful behavior in front of our youth then ask in return that they behave otherwise.  Hmmm…

I think that I speak for all of those who feel as I do when I say these words today, “GROW UP!”  Love and Kindness starts with one person at a time, one day at a time, so please commit today to do your part and be the exception to the madness so we can Make it GREAT together.

GREAT WEEK!!!

Only a fool would pray a prayer of, “Oh Lord, please forgive me and show me a little grace and mercy for not being able to forgive others and show them a little grace and mercy.”

That’s right folks, as ridiculous as this prayer sounds, no one in their righteous mind would ever dare pray these words, but oftentimes our actions suggest that we harbor this notion.

Our ability to forgive others who have wronged us and exercise a little unearned grace and undeserved mercy is what separates the ‘good’ from the GREAT.

The years have taught me that these three words are much easier to say than to actually put into practice on a regular basis.  But those who are able to master these three powerful elements will soon find themselves transcending to a whole new level of existence.

Yes my friends, mastering F.M.G. (Forgiveness, Mercy & Grace) is the key that can set you free and even increase your lease on life.  Free from what you might ask?  Well free from harboring anger, resentment and strife, for a life that’s void of these three hurtful things is sure to experience an increase.  Don’t believe me, try it out for yourself.  It definitely can’t hurt.  Hmmm…

This is definitely a little-known, vital breadcrumb of wisdom that can lead you to Making it GREAT!

Mastering F.M.G. is the Key……..  You’ll See……

Let’s Make it GREAT…..

We are who we deserve to be.  Life doesn’t really respond well on a consistent basis to “wants” and “needs”, but it responds super-well to “deserve”.

That’s right folks, where we are today is a direct consequence and result of what we did or didn’t do yesterday in every way.

So a good question today is, “Do you deserve to be better off than you are today?”  Do you deserve to be wiser and more knowledgeable today?  Do you deserve to have a more physical, spiritual, emotional and financially prosperous life?  Hmmm…  Please don’t answer these questions out loud, just take this message in and make yourself proud and be different from the crowd.

So…  Don’t like who you are, or where you’re at today?  Make a commitment to consistently work on those things that you would like to have better results in and once your “deserve” kicks in, your desired results are soon to follow.

This breadcrumb of wisdom can definitely make the difference between good or GREAT as it relates to your life.  So let’s get on out there and Make it GREAT!  You Deserve it!!!
