Well, today I got totally RAK’d at the Juice Shack and it totally reminded me of one of my old phrases, “Got MILK?”. Ok, let me explain:

I finished up my workout at the gym today and was feeling famished so after a quick shower, I walked over to the juice bar that’s conveniently located in the foyer area of the gym to get my first-ever healthy smoothie from them. A casual conversation ensued with the attendant on duty named Christa who had a very welcoming smile and kind personality and demeanor to match.

Being a first-timer at her booth, I needed a little help in determining what would be a good fit for me and she did not disappoint as she quickly pointed out several choices that peaked my interest. An anonymous gentleman stood patiently at the counter waiting for us to sort-out the choices. After settling on a Hawaiian Blast, I suddenly realized that I had left my wallet in my car, so I advised Christa that I would be right back. She flashed that contagious smile and said, “Ok, I’ll have it ready for you when you get back.”

So I ran out the door to retrieve my wallet and returned to the juice counter and received a surprise that was totally unexpected. “Hey, did you know that guy that was just here at the counter?” she asked. “No I didn’t. Why?” I responded. “Well, because he just paid for your smoothie.” She said. “What? He did? Wow, that was awesome! Usually I’m the one that’s doing stuff like that, now it’s come around full circle. I love it when that happens.” I said.

I then looked over at another guy who had just approached the counter and caught the tail-end of our conversation. “Well, I guess I’m just going to have to pay-it-forward to you my new friend.” I said. He smiled and expressed his gratitude as we all shared a good, hardy laugh together. Then we shared a few more niceties and wished each other a great day as we went on our way.

I’d be totally lying if I said that I don’t live for these casual encounters when normal, everyday, ordinary people reach out and engage in a totally spontaneous Random Act of Kindness (RAK). It’s events like this that reminds me of one of my old phrases “Got MILK?” Motivation-Inspiration-Love-Kindness. Well, on this day, my new friend who remains anonymous certainly had a bit of that good-ole’ MILK.

Don’t miss your opportunities to spread a little MILK around to your fellowman when you can. This action can definitely lead us all to Making it GREAT! “Thank You Anonymous Dude!!! I paid it forward!!!”

AWESOME DAY!!!

Fortunate is the man/woman who has lived a life NOT having to test the level of their breaking point. Lucky are those who experience a trigger for change before causing irreparable damage to their lives. Privileged are he and she who’re entrusted with a new life to teach it wrong from right. And, blessed are those who close their eyes at night and open them again to new daylight with another chance to get it right.

If we pay close enough attention to the world around us we will find that we’re all surrounded by grace and mercy, yet many of us are still reluctant to give it to our fellowman because life has battered, beaten and bullied many of us into a “do-for-self” mindset.

To this I say “Don’t let this be you”. Not in this life. We’re freely getting it so why not make an effort to freely give it so we can all Make it GREAT!

Just a little breadcrumb piece of food-for-thought for you today, so eat-up so you can move-on-up and Make it GREAT! Pass it on… 😉

While going through your storm, be sure to take good notes so you can eventually turn it into your story. That’s right folks, your storm is NOT just all about you, it’s about how you manage to get through and rather or not you share it to show others that they can too.

So, I may not know you, but I do know that you’re either headed to a storm, going through a storm or on the other side of a storm. Some storms are rough and some not-so-much, but make no mistake about it, we all have them.

Again, I encourage you to take some detailed notes amidst the storm of your struggle because you may not remember all the details when you eventually emerge on the other side. Then start focusing on how you’re going to leverage that storm of yours to benefit others so that they will have some glimmer of hope to cling to while they’re going through their struggle. After all, that’s why we’re all here. So let’s leverage our storms to help others to Make it GREAT!

GREAT WEEK!!!

BEWARE: Sometimes we humans may actually act like “humans” and actually make mistakes, some big and some not-so-big. So don’t be so quick to treat us humans like we’re something less than human when a bad decision or mistake is made. That’s why our Creator created what I call the G.M.F. Concepts and continues to show us how they work because He knows that we will have to continue utilizing them a lot over our lifetime if we want to make this life something special.

So what are these G.M.F. Concepts you may ask? Well, it’s quite simply Grace, Mercy and Forgiveness. Yes that’s right friends, these concepts are the cornerstone and reason for the continuation of even our very own existence. I’m so glad that our Creator is not as stingy as we are when it comes to utilizing these three amigos, because if He was, we would’ve been wiped off the face of the earth a loooong time ago. But we’re still here. Hmmm…

So don’t be surprised in the near future when your favorite human does something very human-like in the “mistake” or “bad-choice” category. Be prepared to utilize one of those notorious G.M.F. Concepts and keep leaning towards a better day. After all, we’re all just little humans trying to Make it GREAT!

GREAT DAY!!!

So, don’t be afraid to listen to them and trust their leadership because they definitely can lead you to Making it GREAT!
