I’ve been thinking lately about this one thing that I wish I saw more of these days and I’d like to share it with you.  Some choose to scream and shout it and leaders can’t live without it.  Hitler abused it, Brave-Heart was accused of it and Jesus Christ proved it yet many of us still refuse it.

Rocky at one time lost it and the Mighty Thor tossed it.  The Cowardly Lion found it, King Kong pounds it and true soldiers and warriors love the sound of it.  My message you should heed it because in tough-times you’ll surely need it and many oppressed was even freed with it, yet there’s still some that don’t believe in it.

So, what is this thing that’s a common trait of kings and the reason why I sing in this message that I bring.  Well, quite simply it’s Courage.  Everyone needs a little from time-to-time if we truly want to make a difference in any area of life.  Some may need a little and some may need a lot but we all need it.

As I look around it appears that some peoples courage muscles are suffering from a severe case of atrophy because of their extreme addiction to comfort.  Maybe a huge dose of spinach is needed for some of us to rejuvenate those underused courage muscles.  Hmmm…  It worked for Popeye.  🙂

I invite you to consider the following truth that I’ve realized and recognized today.  COURAGE is an acronym that simply means to Comprehend Or Understand that Real Accomplishment takes Guts to Experience.

Yes, we must have the guts and fortitude to brave the necessary storms of battles if we are to experience what it feels like to accomplish great things.  We must welcome the countless opportunities to show that in times of troubles and struggles we can be counted in and not be counted out.  We completely comprehend and understand that the ability to stand firm in the face of fear and demonstrate unshakeable courage in the moment is the action that separates the average man or woman from those who are great.

So, keep leaning forward and go ahead and make it GREAT everyday of the week and twice on Sundays.

I’d like to issue an unsolicited PSA (Public Service Announcement) today to those who are in pursuit of something great or significant.  There’s no lonelier feeling than the feeling experienced by the successful person at the top who has few friends to share it with.

That person who took the phrase “By any means necessary.” Literally and left a host of carnage and carcasses in their wake on their ascension.  That person who compromised their integrity and “good name” for the gain.  That person who climbed the ladder of success all the way to the top only to find that their ladder was leaning against the wrong building and they should’ve been lifting others up while they were climbing.

Yes, the loneliness experienced by this type of person is unmatched and unparalleled.  Don’t let this be you.  I invite you to make a verbal commitment to yourself that no matter what comes your way, you will not compromise your integrity and “good name” for gain.  You will refuse to throw caution to the wind to link up with unsavory friends.  You will resist every unwelcomed urge to take a short cut to the top if it means laying your ethics and morals aside.

So I say to you today congratulations in advance for staying your course and making it GREAT while taking others with you.  Keep making it GREAT!!!

I just had this interesting thought to pop into my head today and I thought I’d share it with you in hopes that you too will glean some value from it.  You may have to get out your scuba-gear for this one because it may be a little deep, but it’s definitely Sabbath-Day appropriate.

So it seems to me that the world knows exactly how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie-Roll Lollypop.  But the world may never know exactly how many prayers it takes to change the will of our sovereign Creator?  Hmmm…

In my humble opinion I believe that no amount of prayers, fasting or Hail Mary’s can change the will of He who knows all, sees all and created all.  Because this is true, it seems to me that many prayers, pleas and petitions that are specific to a request seeking action by our Creator could be in direct contradiction to His will if we’re not careful.

To that end, I believe that a suitable prayer should include a request for His supreme will to be done and for the strength, understanding and ability to embrace the results, accept the outcome and learn the lesson and message in it all.  Yes, the words, “Your will be done.” are easy to say but can be much more challenging to truly accept, but this too is necessary.  Yes my friends, as tragic as it may sometimes seem in the moments of life, I know that His will holds ultimate plans to prosper us and those around us in the days ahead.

So, I encourage you to move forward today with a renewed vision and belief that in times of suffering, struggles and strain there’s something better to gain coming around the mountain for you no matter what the current situation or circumstance is.  So, I say to you today, keep those prayers flowing in the right direction and continue in your day-to-day efforts to make your challenging days GREAT!  This is definitely a breadcrumb of wisdom that can make life oh-so-sweet.  🙂

If it’s true that our eyes are the windows to our soul, then our words are the fingerprints of our heart and our actions are the outward manifestation of our inner-most feelings and all that we hold dear.

Yes my friends, our eyes, words and actions can tell the real story of who we really are behind the facade that many of us carry with us through this “life” thing. So pay close attention to what you say and what you do and if you really want to hide the truth, be sure to close your eyes so that others can’t see through you.

Just a little breadcrumb of wisdom for you to take into your weekend.  Let’s continue in our noble efforts to make it GREAT!
