I invite you to join me today in imagining ourselves winning those mental battles we’ve lost with ourselves in the past.  Let’s develop a healthy thirst for revenge against the negative self-talk that’s gotten the best of us in the not- so-distant past. 

Today we solemnly declare that our internal foe won’t be given a second chance to knock us up against the ropes of life.  Our foe won’t have another opportunity to place doubt into our heads about our capabilities and abilities to overcome and become something greater today than we were yesterday.

We understand that the toughest battles we will ever fight are the ones on the battlefields of our own minds.  We clearly realize that our “enemy” outside is secondary to our “inner-me” on the inside.  We also understand all-too-well that our inner-me knows all of our weaknesses and our strengths, so it is indeed a formidable foe. 

Nevertheless, in all of our battles both internal and external, we will ultimately win because we’re not afraid to lose.  We will find because we have dared to seek.  And, we choose to live our lives in pursuit of something great and significant for the benefit and service of others today, because we know that tomorrow never comes. Yes my friends, we only have today, this infinite moment in time.

So, we choose today to pursue making our lives matter for much more than just ourselves and our loved ones in our general vicinity.  We will pursue making it GREAT for the world!  So, “PRESS-ON!” I say toward the mark of the high call that has been placed on our lives by our creator and let’s continue to not just make it good but Make it absolutely GREAT!  GREAT DAY!!!

I ’ve had the distinct privilege over the last nine years to work from home, which has afforded me the ability to invest a lot of time actively participating in my kid’s lives.  Needless to say, this has also resulted in me being around a lot of what most people call, “Stay-at-home Moms” or “Soccer Moms”, but I prefer to call them, “Home Engineers”.

Over these activity-filled years I’ve learned to never underestimate the power of a group of dedicated Soccer Moms.  Watching these Mom’s in action rallying around a worthy cause or mutual goal is nothing short of phenomenal.  They have a “Never-say-die” attitude and a Just-get-it-done” mentality.  Getting them to agree may be a challenge at times, but once you’ve got them all nodding their heads in the “Yes” direction for the cause, watch out world, because they will not be denied.  I’m convinced that we could’ve found Osama Bin Laden a lot sooner if we would’ve just assigned the task to a hand full of Soccer Mom’s.  There aren’t many things stronger than the heart of a volunteer and Soccer Moms are the crème-dele-crème.  As a result, I now have a new saying, “Need something done?  Get a Soccer Mom.”

So, if you’re a Work-from-home Mom or Soccer Mom or Stay-at-Home Engineer, please allow me to give you a big, fat “High-Five” for all that you do to make this world go round.  You’re tireless efforts have not gone unnoticed.  You’re coming early and staying late is not in vein.  Those bright eyes all around you are taking notice and are quietly thanking you for your unyielding service to them and this world.

Please take the time to breathe-in this acknowledgement, affirmation and congratulations today and know that you play the most important role of anyone in this world of ours because you are in direct contact with shaping and molding the future of this world.  That future is sitting in that car seat behind you everyday.  Keep doing that thing that you do so well and make it GREAT!

I was driving my kids to school not long ago and I noticed a couple of motorcycle cops hiding behind some bushes and I suddenly had one of my “hallelujah moments of clarity.”  As a result, I now have a new metaphorical definition of Fear:   Fear is a well disguised motorcycle cop hiding in the bushes of life waiting to pull-over and arrest unsuspecting individuals attempting to speed outside their comfort zone.  Most people may believe that FEAR stands for “Forget Everything And RUN!”  But we’re not “Most People”.  We know that FEAR is just “False Evidence Appearing Real.” Our radar detection of awareness gives us a form of diplomatic immunity.  

I’ve recently started to see more and more of the popular “No Fear” brand on t-shirts and billboards around town, but I choose an alternate statement.  My statement is, “Got Fear, but doing it anyway”.  I’ve learned that fear can actually be a good thing in that it promotes preparedness and sparks adrenaline.  So we must choose to embrace this “Fear” thing. 

We understand that we succeed not because we have no fear, we succeed because we continue to act in spite of our fear.  So, speed-on out of that comfort zone quickly and continue to conquer that ominous four letter word with the comfort in knowing that all the best things in this life exist on the other side of FEAR.  Let’s continue to be bold as we attempt to make it GREAT!

With every precious heartbeat we move further and further away from our past and into the open arms of our unfolding future.  If you’re feeling like your life is moving too slow or maybe not even moving at all, dare I say it may be because you’re attempting to drag that past of yours with you.  If this shoe fits you, I have three words of unsolicited advice for you today, “LET IT GO!” 

The sooner you can let go of the past, the sooner you can start moving faster towards what is meant for you in your future.  The sooner you can rid yourself of the transgressions of yesterday, the sooner you can embrace the triumphs of tomorrow. We’ve passed the test and challenges of our past and as a result, we have been made stronger and are better equipped to face the challenges of our unfolding future.

I’ve come to realize that our Creator is much more interested in what we do in the days ahead of us than what we’ve done in the days behind us.  It’s okay for us to give up on the hope or belief that the negative things that have happened to us or we’ve done in the past could have been different.  Simply put, we can’t un-spill the milk or unscramble the eggs of our past.  So, just drink it up and eat it up so you can move on up to higher heights in your life.  Giving up on this unrealistic hope of your past being different will definitely free you up to pursue the maximization of your full potential in the days ahead. 

That which we endured and overcame in the past has made us what and who we are today and to undo the past would take it all away.  We overcame and became something new as a result.  

So, be encouraged today and know indeed our best days are still ahead of us.  Let’s continue to strive to better our best in the days ahead and leave the past in the past as we attempt to make the future GREAT!
