Would you think I was weird if I told you that I listen to my Christmas music all-year-round because it makes me feel good?  Would you think I was crazy if I told you that I mumble a morning mantra daily that includes a happy dance that sets a positive tone for my day?

Would you think I was strange if I told you that I have over 20 different journals and daily I capture every thought, conversation and event that I believe can be beneficial to people that share this beautiful world around me?  Well, I know I’m far from normal or average, but it sure makes me feel good to be living a life of defined purpose and positive intention.  Can you say the same about your day?  Hmmm…

I invite you to consider the following truth that I’ve uncovered and discovered.  Many of the great men and women who have walked this earth before us were at one time called weird, crazy or strange or even some other names that wouldn’t make it past the sensors in most public venues.  Why were they called these names, well it was simply because of some of the things they said or the actions they took or the fundamentals and philosophies they stood for.

So I say to you today that if you’re on a mission to do something great or significant in this world for the betterment of others, I encourage you to stay the course and embrace the weird, crazy and strange because these names are indeed prerequisites for your eventual gain.  Yes my friends this is indeed a path that’s least travelled this side of the universe, but it definitely will lead you to not just making this life good, but making this life GREAT!

So, GO GET’EM YOU WEIRDO’S!!!

I discovered a long time ago that the only constant in this world is “Change.”  That’s right friends “Change” will always be among us.  Some of us for the better and some of us for the worse, but change will always be…

I invite you to consider the following.  Since “Change” is inevitable for us all, we should move forward with positive intentions and embrace the positive change around us.  And, if we can’t find the positive change, we could and should create it ourselves.

My new acronymic definition of “Change” is:  “to Consider Having Another New Goal to Explore”.  We should always be looking to set new goals so we can reach even higher heights in the days ahead.

So, be encouraged today on your journey and embrace those positive changes ahead as you check-off old goals and set new ones.

Carpe diem and let’s make it GREAT!

I’ve discovered that the most surefire way to confuse the enemy is when things are going wrong just smile and sing a happy song.

Yes my friends make no mistake about it, we all have enemy forces out there that are hell-bent on defeating us and taking us down.

This unexpected response of smiling and singing is by far the easiest way to through the enemy into a state of total confusion because surely the enemy will be expecting you to breakdown or breakup, but you can surprise him with a total breakthrough!

Feel free to adopt this new philosophy in the days ahead if you dare and continue in your noble efforts to make this good life, GREAT!

Not long ago I was at my son Chance’s school preparing to go on one of his field trips.  There were many parents present at this time and as usual I was one of a few Dad’s that was there.  The third graders were all excited for the trip.  While standing behind one of the parents of one of the kids, I noticed that she had several tattoos on her body including several around her neck.

During the chaos of the group I took advantage of the distractions and was able to read some of the words on her neck and to my shock and amazement, she had the profanity four letter word “F ** K” on the back side of her neck in plain sight.  I let out a spontaneous, audible gasp, “Ohhhh!” and couldn’t believe what I was seeing.  I then quickly tried to wipe the dumbfounded look of surprise off of my face before anyone noticed.  I then took another closer look to make sure that I wasn’t wrong, and yep, unfortunately I was right.  More »

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!
