Our actions in one tense moment of anger and frustration can have lifetime implications.  As this is true, I invite you to consider the following.

It’s in our best interest to make sure that we apply my T5 Technique before taking any drastic action when anger and hostility is coursing through our veins.  When this type of rage is present our state of mind can cause us humans to commit some unthinkable atrocities that we would never consider with an otherwise clear head.

What is the “T5 Technique” you may ask?  Well, it’s simply “Take Time To Think it Through.”  Yes my friends one moment to think it through can prevent a lifetime of heartache, regret and despair.

I’ve learned over the years that our natural response in anger is usually not the correct one and if given the chance to undo a negative outcome of anger minutes later, many people would jump at the chance to undo what’s been done.  So my good word to you today is, Take Time To Think it Through before you do…

If put into practice, this little breadcrumb of wisdom could save you much more than a heartache or heartbreak.  It could quite possibly save your life.  Let’s keep leaning forward and continuing in our noble efforts to make it GREAT!

I’ve come to realize that in life we’re all running a race against the king of all marathons.  This runner has a distinct advantage against anyone who dares to lace-up a pair of shoes and dawn the track of life.

This juggernaut of an opponent has never, and never will be beat.  It actually even appears as if it was created specifically to run and not be weary.  It treats its race like a job and runs it without passion or prejudice.  It takes no prisoners, shows no mercy and makes no apologies for its actions.

Even if you search the world over you will find few things that are a better example of what patience and persistence can do then the age-old seed of the Chinese Bamboo Tree.

Within days of being placed in the ground of fertile soil this small seed goes to work pushing its roots deeper and wider into the earth’s surface setting up the foundation that will eventually support a tree height that dwarfs many others of its kind.

The catch is the results of the work that the seed is doing beneath the earth’s surface will never be seen by its caretaker for several years.  After toiling day-in and day-out feeding and watering the seed, many may become discouraged and eventually succumb to their lack of visual confirmation and affirmation of their diligence. But those faithful few who cling to the promise of persistence and perseverance will eventually have their payoff.

I’d like to encourage any-and-everyone within eye and ear-shot of my written message today to continue to have patience and persevere through your storm embracing the thought that one day you will be able to leverage your storm-story for the good of inspiring someone else to believe that they can overcome too.

Please understand that in your moments of struggle and despair that you have not been unfairly singled out.  Yes even the greatest among us all have had to at one-time-or-another walk this challenging path and endure pain and hardships from time-to-time.  For the great ones understand that such things are a prerequisite for success in any noble and just endeavor.

Some of the people around you may attempt to squash your goals and dreams with a sharp comment or two.  I call these people “Snakes of well-intention“. Have you been bit and victimized by the vicious bite and fast-acting venom of one of these vipers lately?  If so, I say to you today, don’t lose your focus.  Let this venom be the fuel for your vision.  Choose to be empowered by cynicism and encouraged by the “N” words.  The “Never’s, the “No’s”, the “Not’s” and the “No shows”.  Shake off the nasty non-sense of the naughty naysayers.

Make a commitment today, while the weather is good so when the storms come, you will not fold up your umbrella of armor and run for cover.  You will stand your ground and not retreat into that foxhole of fear in the face of adversity for you know that all great men and women have realized their greatness or significance on the other side of such adversity and hardships.

Then when the day comes that you stand face-to-face with your achievement, may you then be so bold to tell the story of how you overcame and became.  I encourage you today to hang in there and continue to fight the good fight because a little bird told me that someone is secretly and unknowingly counting on you not just to win, but to win BIG.  Carpe Diem and make it GREAT!
