Good intentions are a penny a pound, a nickel a six-pack, a dime a dozen, and a quarter a case, but only proper action can yield priceless results.
That’s right folks, “good intentions” are like weeds and roaches, almost everybody have them and their completely worthless. Only “proper” action can make a difference and just any ole’ action won’t get the job done. So say goodbye to the good intentions that many speak of and hello to proper action as you attempt to Make it GREAT!
I ran into a bully a few days ago and I’m happy to say that I managed to chop him down to size and put him in his place pretty quick. You’d be pretty proud of me if you saw me in action. YEAHHH!!!!
The physical altercation was pretty brutal but I’m happy to say that I still managed to come out on top. I would love to share the juicy details with you but since I’m in cyberspace open to delicate eyes and ears, I need to keep it “G” rated.
You might be surprised to know that most of you already know this bully very well. His name is “Adversity”. Yep, Adversity is the ultimate bully. No matter what your age, color, creed or kind, its job is simply just to test your resolve for your goals and cause and weed you out.
No you can’t run and tell your Mama or Daddy or teacher to make it back off or threaten it with suspension or a law-suit. The only way to deal with this ultimate bully is to stand up to it and boldly fight through it.
Yes that’s right my friends, Adversity knows no other way of backing away. You have to commit to kick its butt and in the process become the person you need to be on the other side of the fight.
So I encourage you to pull out your best jabs, upper-cuts, side-kicks and right hooks this weekend and start kicking and swinging like there’s no tomorrow and remember that Adversity is just there to help you Make it GREAT! So go Make it GREAT!!!!! YEAHHH!!!!
The foundation of all things great starts with what you BELIEVE in your heart is possible for you. Nuff said…
Now “believe” it’s possible and go Make it GREAT!
One of my most prized discoveries over the years has hands-down been the discovery of the power of the ‘spoken word.’ The creative use of spoken words can turn unwanted situations and circumstances into desired results and outcomes.
Yes my friends, words are intangible objects that by themselves may have little or no power, but when coupled together in an organized group of other words with a clear intent, they can move mountains.
My favorite book makes a bold statement of affirmation that we should, “call those things that are not as though they were.” Such a proclamation harnesses immeasurable power and if utilized with conviction, certainty and consistent action, what may have once seemed impossible suddenly becomes possible.
Finding this hard to believe? Well, its validity continues to be proven over and over again by those who dare to dream and are willing to work to win.
Here’s the key. We must regularly proclaim and speak out the words of that which we seek and be careful not to let what we currently see with our physical eyes distract us and prevent us from what we desire.
Yes, what we see with our physical eyes has time-and-time again been the red herring and show-stopper for many accomplishing their biggest goals and dreams this side of the universe. But many have undoubtedly harnessed and mastered the ability of looking past their current, undesirable situations and circumstances to focus with laser-beam accuracy on the desired goal. They’ve also been repeatedly found guilty of verbalizing their intentions on a regular basis.
Well, Hallelujah!!! These actions are definitely duplicateable and mastering and implementing these valuable skills will no doubt yield similar results for each of us too. So I say to you today, speak of those things in your life as what they “could be” and with the proper, consistent action over time they will become what they “should be”.
Now let’s continue to boldly speak it out as we attempt to make it GREAT!
Just a friendly reminder today that perfect conditions do not exist in this thing called “Life”, so don’t make the classic mistake of waiting for them. Yes indeed, too much analysis may lead to paralysis and mental callouses while you’re waiting for all signs to say “Go.”
I’ve learned that sometimes you just gotta go with your “gut,” your passion usually hangs out there anyway. So do a healthy dose of due diligence and jump-on in there and give it your best shot to make it GREAT in the days ahead. None of us are getting any younger. 🙂
