The “Me-I-My’s” is a condition that millions if not billions of people the world-over suffer from on an everyday basis, especially during times of struggles and troubles.  But I encourage you today to resist this condition and affliction at all cost because self-centeredness and focusing on the old Me, Myself & I will never win you any worthwhile awards this side of the universe.

Actually, I’ve found that one of the best activities we can do while we’re going through our storm is to encourage and cheer someone else on while they’re in the midst of their storm.  Yes that’s right friends, when we take eyes and focus off of our self and place them on others, it opens us up to receive that which we need to get us through our own struggles and troubles.

So, no more “Me-I-My’s” but more “T”- “H”- “E”- “Y’s” is needed.  Yes “They” need our help so let’s not let’em down, not today.  Let’s unite together in one mind and spirit and continue in our best efforts to help others to Make it GREAT!

So exactly how many times do you find yourself pressing that  snooze button on your alarm clock in the morning before actually getting up and starting your day?  Hmmm…

Or maybe an even better question is exactly how many times are you going to continue to press the snooze button on your life’s biggest goals and dreams before you actually get up and start taking some action-steps toward making them reality?

When exactly are you going to get started with pursuing those things that you really want to do in this life?   And most importantly, how will today be any different than yesterday or any other day?  Hmmm…

Yes indeed these are some tough questions but I’ve found that tough questions can oftentimes lead to life-changing answers.

Continuing to put-off till tomorrow that which you can start doing today has never and will never yield positive results because tomorrow never comes.  Truth be told, we really don’t even have today.  All we have is this specific moment in time right now.

So I encourage you today to go ahead and keep the alarm clock but please consider getting rid of the snooze button and master your moments NOW because your tomorrow will never come and times-a-ticking.

So get on your way to making it GREAT today!

I had the unique opportunity to make my day Great x 2 last night when me and one of my group-home boys EJ had the chance to hang out with a group of people that the ”Good Book” (bible) refers to as “The Least of These”.  An odd group of six homeless people they were as they gathered next to a large barbeque pit fire in the night at one of the local city parks.

To my surprise I was received as if I was a bit of a celebrity amongst the group because one of them had my book “Bread Crumbs to Making it Great” and had been reading it daily to the group.  Wow, I must admit that I wasn’t expecting this type of reception and I felt extremely honored by it.

Me and EJ had some great conversation with them chatting about some of their favorite stories in the book and some of their goals for the future.  “Well, it looks like the fire is dying down and we’re going to need some more wood.” stated Red, who was the group leader.

After an awkward moment of silence, I spoke up and said, “Me and EJ will go and find some wood.”  EJ looked up at me with a surprised face with a smile and then Me, EJ and Red ventured off into the darkness with one small intermittent flash light looking for wood.

Minutes later we ran across several large limbs on the ground and began to break off a few of the smaller pieces to drag back to the camp.  After we got back to the camp we joined the crew in tossing a few branches and dried leaves on the fire.  “Now we’re ready to barbeque!” exclaimed Red.  So they pulled out some freshly purchased raw chicken and topped off the night.

There didn’t appear to be much to go around so Me and EJ didn’t stick around to join them in dinner but we did leave them a few personally signed copies of my book and a little money to buy a tree-limb cutter so they could easily cut up the downed limbs for future firewood during the cold winter season that’s upon us.

To see the look on EJ’s face was priceless as he was super-eager to be the one to give them the books, the wood and the money to help them make it a great day.  We high-fived each other as we got back to the truck and then drove on back to the group home with a big smile on our face knowing that we had just invested two productive hours into making someone else’s day Great.

May our little adventure remind you that these types of opportunities are all around us every day, we just have to be intentional about seizing them.  “The Least of These” is waiting for people like us to step up and be accounted for.  Will you be able to do your fair-share?  Can we count on you to NOT be stingy with your good-fortune and be the exception not just this Thanks Giving season, but in every season?  Hmmm…

Many will find an excuse, but I hope and pray that you will find a way to make someone else’s day Great.

I got a two-for-one this time around.  The homeless group got a blessing and little EJ got to play a huge part in it all.  Not soon shall I forget this one.

So get-on out there and get involved in your own creative way and make a difference in the lives of the “Least of These” in your respective areas of this great world of ours.  And, never-ever-forget that we only get one time through this “life” thing, so let’s continue in our collective efforts to Make it GREAT!
