The most surefire indicator of a persons priorities in life is their actions or lack-there-of.  So at the end of the day, what you do or don’t do will ultimately tell the world about you and what’s most important to you.

Yes it’s true that your actions speak much louder than any words you could ever speak.  So pay careful attention to what you say because your actions or inactions just might end up making you look a bit foolish to others who’re expecting you to actually do what you say.

I’m sure we all have that person or persons in our life that is a professional at telling others what they’re “going to do”.  Some of these people may even be our closest friends or share our last name.

I encourage you today to let their incongruent way of life be your lesson.  Don’t be found guilty of letting your mouth write checks that your actions can’t cash.  Make an honest effort to say what you’ll do, then do what you say or just shut up and move out the way.

This is a breadcrumb of wisdom that’s sure to help you to be the exception and continue to make it GREAT!  So eat up and go up and Make it GREAT!

I was chatting with my good friend Caren a few days ago and after asking her how she was doing, her response was, “I’m giving ‘me’ back to ‘me’…”  Naturally this statement caught me off guard so I then asked for a bit of clarification and she said, “I’ve finally decided to give myself permission to be myself again.”

You see, Caren is just emerging on the other side of a recent struggle that almost convinced her to take herself out of the game of life.  She stated that life’s mounting problems in concert with prescribed medications was a cocktail combination for disaster that was leading her down a road of quiet desperation and possible self-destruction.

The constant subtle pressure to be someone she wasn’t coupled with a classic case of treating the symptoms and not the problems in her life and health was setting her up to be claimed as yet another victim of depression.  And, the worst part was that she didn’t even see it coming.

As weird as it may sound, I can’t say that I was surprised by her story.  You see, as it relates to depression, so often is the case where we become the most vulnerable is when we think that it can’t happen to us, and Caren was no exception.  “I never thought I could ever make it to a point of such extreme in my life, but thank God for good friends who show up at the right time,” she says.  As it turns out, this friend wasn’t afraid to be nosey and get involved and it ultimately saved her life.

Yes Caren is one of the fortunate few that managed to escape and is now completely okay with telling her story of survival.  When asked how would she advise others who are going through the fire of life with similar challenges, she said, “Even the most level-headed person in the world is not immune to the death-grip of depression and medication.  So listen to your friends if they’re recognizing signs and changes in your behavior that you may not be aware of and get proper helpI’m giving ‘me’ back to ‘me’ and I’ll be careful not to let this happen to me again in the future.

Well said Caren…  I’m not sure where her road of life will take her, but being on the right path makes the size of her steps obsolete.  Just keep-on moving forward.

I invite you all to take heed to this unsolicited advice and just keep-on moving forward on your path to Making this ‘good’ life GREAT!

A life without struggle and pain is a life void of growth and gain.  So, count it all joy and remember as you’re going through that you’re actually “going through” and you’re destined to eventually reach the other side to usher-in the new and improved “you” with a BIG smile.  So keep-on moving.

I tried to keep it short and sweet today before you start on your way in an attempt to make your week GREAT!

Think you’ve got big problems?  Well, try getting nine of your good friends together and all of you write down your biggest problems or concerns and throw them into a hat.  Then shake the hat up real good and reach in and pick out a problem to adopt as your own.  The chances are after seeing the problem you get you’ll probably want to trade up for your own original problem back.

Yes my friends, I’ve always said that if you don’t have any problems in life, you’ve got a huge problem in life.  Problems are just a part of life and if we’re not careful those problems can make us say “Uncle” and give up on our most important goals and dreams.

Don’t let life’s problems, adversity, troubles and struggles choke your dreams and passion out of you.  Understand that your problems today are necessary for you to become better tomorrow.  So hang in there and continue to overcome one day and one problem at a time and you’ll be just fine.

Keep leaning forward and continue in your efforts to Make it GREAT!!!

Living in a world where “sex” sells, “drama” dominates, “chaos” is a cash-cow, “profanity” is profitable and “raunchy” and “risqué” rules the airwaves and cyberspace, one of my biggest struggles and challenges has been trying to attract and maintain the attention of the masses long enough to deliver a positive message.

I must admit that it’s becoming extremely harder and harder to compete with video games and internet-cyberspace.  The mind-numbing TV shows, radios, picture shows and videos are managing to seduce most of the general public into accepting a mediocre mindset.  Yet I fight-on.

I fight on because I know my cause is noble and just.  I fight-on because my mission is worthy of my best efforts.  I fight-on because I was created for a task such as this.  I fight-on because evil can only prosper and grow if good men/women stand by and do nothing.  I fight-on because my boys want to be like me and they’re watching my every step.   I fight-on because someone somewhere is unknowingly waiting to be Inspired, Motivated or Educated by my positive message and content.

In spite of the existing challenge, my #1 goal hasn’t changed a bit.  I still aspire to remain relevant and produce positive, life altering content in a very competitive market.  “I think I can, I think I can, I think I can,” were the famous words spoken by the “Little Engine that Could”, but my emphatic word-phrase is, “I know I can, I Know I Can, I ABSOLUTELY KNOW I CAN !!!

Today I have no shame in admitting that I need all the help I can possibly get from my friends both on and off-line.  So I say to you today, if you’ve ever been blessed by any of my work, writings or content, don’t keep it to yourself.  Feel free to refer others to my Facebook page and my website and blog regularly @:  www.MrBreadCrumb.com and www.CedricCrawford.com.

There’s sooooo much more positive content to come in the days ahead in the form of Books, CD’s, DVD’s, MP-3’s, Podcast, Live Events, etc, etc, etc…  So keep tuning in and be sure to tell a friend or two or TEN!

I’m on a mission to help others to Make it GREAT !!!

It just gets better from here.  So Spread the Word !!!
