Warning!!! I would like to issue an APB (All-Points-Bulletin) that Energy Vampires have been once again spotted among us all. They’re on the loose on our jobs, in our communities and even in our churches.
Not all of them have visible horns with sharp fangs and wear black capes under cover of darkness, but they can be equally as deadly in their methods and unsavory, malicious tactics. They’re not only great at sucking the life and energy out of the room, but if you’re not careful, they may also manage to suck the life and energy out of you. I’m sure we’ve all seen them before because they come in all shapes, sizes, shades, colors, kinds and creeds.
Yes my friends, be on the lookout and keep your stakes razor sharp and your holy water at the ready because your encounter is no doubt coming sooner-or-later. Don’t fall victim to the flagrant language and reckless behavior and disregard for the feelings of others exhibited by these Energy Vampires. Instead, keep your mind renewed and refreshed and ready to resist such an encounter. Many unsuspecting, would-be victims may be secretly counting on you to diffuse such a moment where an Energy Vampire is on a reckless rampage. So don’t let them down. Not today.
So, my good word to you today is, “Don’t get ready for battle, stay ready.” Be prepared to save the day and make it GREAT!

I‘ve been doing that “thinking” thing again lately and I’ve come up with the following truth. I believe that the most hypocritical statement that’s perpetrated by many the world over is the following, “Never ever give up on your big goals and dreams in life.” But unfortunately this statement can be completed by most people with the words, “But let me tell you why I gave up on mine.”
Yes my friends, the truth isn’t always peaches and cream, sometimes its rocky road. I understand that this comment may not sit well with many, but truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end it remains unchanged, truth.
So, the question today is, are you a member of the notorious “Most People” club? Do you still have those big goals out in front of you? Are you taking steps in the direction of making your big dreams a reality? Hmmm… “Most People” would probably have to say “No,” but we’re not “Most People.” Yes, we fully intend to make it GREAT!

This may come as a shock to some of you, but the worst month to make a commitment and not keep it is the month of January. The other months that are equally as bad are February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November and yes even December.
That’s right folks, there’s no good time to not keep your commitments. Letting your “Yes” mean “Yes” and your “No” mean “No” is a character trait that’s shared by only a fortunate, faithful few.
Throughout this “life” thing I’ve observed a countless number of people who often times remind me of the lyrics to an old Keith Sweat song that says, “I’m gonna, I’m gonna, I’m gonna…” but they almost never do. So a good question today is, are you a member of the exclusive Commitment Keeper Club? Or, are you guilty of letting your mouth write checks that your actions can’t cash.
Do others regard you as a man or woman of your word? Can you be trusted to say what you’re going to do and then actually do what you say? Hmmm… No need to answer out loud or raise your hand, just hear and understand.
In the battle between those who follow-through on their commitments and those who just let their commitments fall through, I trust that you’re on the right side. I hope and pray that years from now down the road of commitment you will still have the same level of passion, excitement and resolve that you had the day you started the journey.
So, I encourage you to keep leaning forward in the days ahead and make this week so awesome that last week gets insanely jealous. Keep those commitments Monday through Sunday and every month of the year and let’s make it GREAT.
