If “Good Intentions” without actions and work were enough, there would be no need for apologies. And if “apologies” actually achieved results, then someone would probably find a way to make them into a pill form and sell them by the bottle.

No my friends, the only thing that really matters is what we say followed closely by what we do. And if we make a habit of not doing what we say and following through, the person that ultimately we’re really disappointing and letting down is ourselves. Yes my friends this is true because if our words are void of reinforced actions, we then run the risk of eventually becoming undependable and irrelevant to those around us.

So, my unsolicited advice for us all today is to be sure to take good care of our words by backing them up with our supportive actions, because like-it-or-not, somebodies watching us and they’re taking good notes of our example. So let’s give them something good to write about. This is no doubt one of the most important keys to Making it GREAT!

I was just recently reminded of a commonly misunderstood fact that I uncovered and discovered years ago. This discovery was a turning point in my life that answered a question that had puzzled me for many, many years up until that day. In fact, it is the very reason why I’m still doing what I do today and I have no doubt that it’s discovery just may be equally as impactful for you.

So what is this commonly misunderstood fact that kept me puzzled and confused for so many years until it’s uncovery and discovery? Well, here goes…

In terms of working in an area of one’s passion, think it NOT strange that every moment of involvement in your area of passion will NOT feel good and be full of joy.

Yes my friends, there may be certain things or activities associated with what we do in our area of passion that we don’t necessarily like. Some things may even be uncomfortable or down-right dangerous in the process of walking in our area of passion. But at the end of the day, our love for that “Passion” thing has to be so strong that it makes all the discomfort and danger worth it to keep moving along.

Simply put, we’d have to be two kinds of crazy and three kinds of foolish to think that we will enjoy doing what we do in our area of passion every day of the week and twice on Sunday’s. NO my friends, NOT every day will be filled with smiles. NOT every hour will be packed with power. And, NOT every minute will have happiness in it. But in spite of it all, loving the reason for our life’s season of doing what we do should ultimately get us through.

Those short moments of complete exhilaration when you’re reminded of why what you do is so important should brighten your day, lighten your way and help you to stay. Those splashes of brilliance that flash by in the twinkling of an eye should keep your spirits high and maybe even occasionally make you cry.

So I say to you today, HANG IN THERE MY FRIENDS and may the love of your passion for what you do continue to justify the troubles and the struggles in your daily actions and help you to continue to push to Make it GREAT!

GREAT DAY!!!

If I told you that you only had one swing at bat would you try to knock it out of the park, or would you just try to bunt to get on base? Hmmm…

Well, I have some sobering news for you. In the sport of Major League Baseball “bunting” is considered a sacrificial move which almost never has positive results. In fact, the chances of success is so low that many baseball analyst believe that the strategy should’ve been abandoned years ago, yet many players still try it.

Would it surprise you if I told you that this same phenomenon exist in life? That’s right my friends, in life we all ONLY have one chance at bat. We still can’t come back for a do-over the last time I checked. Yet despite the odds for success many still insist on “bunting” just to try to get on base and get by.

Well, I’m here to challenge you this year to take your one swing at this “Life” thing and aim for the fence as you attempt to knock it out of the park and Make it GREAT!

NO BUNTING ALLOWED !!! 😉

I woke up this morning feeling inspired, cozy and warm,
So I grabbed my trusted pen & pad & wrote you this short poem:

Now that we’ve made another full rotation around our great sun,
It’s now a good time to reflect back on what we’ve all done.

Did we manage to live a year full of both challenges and fun?
Or was it one of missed opportunities & things we should’ve done?

Be careful NOT to spend much time dwelling on those things of the past.
But instead move-on ahead to a new year of things that will last.

I invite you to consider adding a few things to your list,
Some Do’s & Dont’s & Will’s & Wont’s with a little slight twist.

Move forward with confidence & don’t be afraid to take a chance,
And never, ever give yourself away to worrying in advance.

Make a point to dwell on good thoughts throughout your long day,
And never miss the opportunity to give your beautiful smile away.

Be sure to make some quality time for yourself and your crew,
And never forget about helping someone worse-off then you.

You can also make a point to give away a compliment or two,
And say “Hi” to a perfect stranger, not just one but a few.

These are just a few things you should find are quite easy to do,
After all, a much better year starts with a much better you.

HAPPY NEW ROTATION ALL!!! Let’s Make it GREAT!!!

Well folks, ready or not here it comes. I guess I blinked and almost overnight a “14” is now turning into a “15”. Yes that’s right my friends, 2015 is a couple of days away and I hope you’re ready.

Ok, I have to be honest… Don’t expect for 2015 to be anything special. The unfortunate truth is it’s going to be some of the same-old-same-old missed opportunities of the previous years of old for some of us, UNLESS!!! Unless we do something different. 🙂

I’d like to suggest that we all make it a point to seize those previously missed opportunities to do something good for others in need in this new year. Why? Well, simply because we can.

Let’s make a commitment to step up our game and do our part to Make it GREAT!!!

GREAT WEEK!!!!
