The true measure of a man is NOT in how much wealth he can gather but in him living a life that really matters.

NOT by the size of his house but how he really treats his spouse.

NOT by the stuff that he owns but by what he does when he’s all alone.

NOT by him graduating from college but by him continuing to pursue increasing his knowledge.

And, NOT by the quality of his conversation but by his commitment to helping God’s precious creations.

Yes my friends, the true measure of a man comes ONLY by using the right yardstick. So we must not be duped into believing the hype of society’s type or believe the lie of the world’s high because answering that call could be our downfall.

Let’s keep our yardstick of measurement straight as we attempt to Make it GREAT!!!

GREAT WEEK!!!

After having lived in five different states and two different countries over the past years I’ve found that true happiness has very little to do with venue and everything to do with what’s in you.

Yep that’s right my friends, so don’t be so quick to move to Spain to ease your pain or transfer to Perth to reduce your hurt and discover your worth, or even change your employment to increase your enjoyment.

The truth is people still get depressed in Dubai, feel miserable in Maui and commit suicide in Sicily. Why? Well, it’s simply because true happiness is never found in places or property. It’s found inside of the person.

So as a result, I invite you to consider NOT focusing on where you’re going to move to, but what’s moving inside of you. This is indeed a little breadcrumb of wisdom that can surely lead you to making this “good” life GREAT!

So let’s choose to Make it GREAT!!!

During this month exactly 10 years ago this family picture was taken in our backyard pool area with a view that could take your breath away. Now 10 years later my youngest is now the same age that my oldest was in this photo and the change of the years has brought with it so many other changes in our lives.

It’s amazing how a Blessing can be hidden in a Bankruptcy, a new Faith can be found in a Firing and an amazing Comeback can be concealed in an untimely Setback. The surprise is that through it all I’ve learned that sometimes we have to be pushed a few steps back so we can be prepared to take a few giant leaps forward and now life is absolutely GREAT! And, nope I wouldn’t change a single thing about the process to getting to where I’m at today. 🙂

I truly believe that in this “life” thing there’s a reason for every single season. So I encourage you today to think it NOT strange and be it NOT surprised if your best blessing lies inside of an unexpected slide. Or, your renewed faith is found in an unfavorable fall or failure. Just pick yourself back up so you can move-on up and claim your stake to again Make it GREAT! Don’t wish to get the old days back, work to make the new days better. 😉

GREAT DAY YOUNG GRASSHOPPERS!!!

Been hearing a lot of “Blah, Blah, Blah” lately? Well, the ONLY service that will never be rewarded this side of Heaven is “Lip-Service”.

Yep that’s right my friends, so we must be careful NOT to get caught letting our mouth write checks that our “ACTIONS” can’t cash because bouncing checks is illegal, but bouncing words is just down-write embarrassing.

A little harsh today but I’m sure you can take it. Now get-on out there this week and Make it GREAT without the Blah, Blah, Blah’s… 🙂

Ever heard the phrase, “I feel like I have a monkey on my back.”? Well, having a monkey on your back can actually be a good thing in some instances. Especially if that “monkey” is constantly whispering in your ear reminding you of who you are as a child of a Sovereign King and what you’re capable of.

If I was that “monkey” for you on this Hump Day, I would whisper these words to that single woman or man: “You are indeed enough and a companion is just a plus.”

To that married woman or man struggling in a relationship I would say: “Try taking your eyes-of-concern off of your spouse and start looking internally at you and what you can do.”

To that young boy or girl looking for direction in life I would gently say: “Find your passion and purpose and leverage it in the direction of service to the world as you create a life of meaningful contribution.”

And, to that individual who just needs a little motivational kick-in-the-pants today to get them on their way I would say: “Times may be tough but our unshakeable will to overcome is even tougher. So, we stand firm in the face of our adversity and make the bold statement that we will NOT quit, we will NOT resign, will NOT waive the white flag and throw in the towel and abandon our mission in this life for we know that our cause is indeed noble and just and is worthy of our best efforts. So we will stay the course until our inevitable success shows up and we not just win, but we WIN BIGGGGG !!!”

Yes my friends we are all capable of knowing better, seeing better, doing better and being better in some way every day. So, don’t be so quick to get that monkey off of your back, especially if it’s reminding you of how you can Make it GREAT in your space.

Let’s Make it GREAT!!!
