HOPE: Having an Optimistic, Positive Expectation.

It’s hard to believe that such a small four letter word can carry so much weight, but it’s absolutely true. It’s said that without “Vision” the people will perish, and I’d like to add to that statement by saying that without “Hope” the people will have nothing to live for.

I’ve written several articles about the importance of Hope over the years and its significance is so strong that it definitely bears repeating as a reminder on a regular basis.

Hope and Despair have an inverse relationship. The more you have of one the less you have of the other. Simply put, being positive and optimistic about what’s possible for you keeps feelings of despair at bay.

Yes my friends Hope for something better for our family, friends and future is paramount and losing sight of this fact can plunge you into a darkness of dangerous depression and despair.

So I say to you today, “Keep your HOPE for a positive future alive so you can NOT just survive, but THRIVE!” This breadcrumb of wisdom can definitely lead you in the direction of Making it GREAT!

GREAT WEEK!!!

I was driving to a speaking engagement just the other day and while on the freeway driving slightly over the speed limit (Ok, maybe just a little bit faster than “slightly over the speed limit”) I suddenly felt a quiet fear come creeping over me.

It was a fear that caused me to make an immediate adjustment in my life and start to live my life with a little bit more urgency. This fear was that if I died today, I would be taking sooooo much more valuable content, creations and projects to the grave with me.

You see, I literally have a mindboggling amount of personally written content that I’ve created over the last few years and I’ve also created some new tools & techniques, formulas and philosophies that can surely make a huge difference in the lives of the readers and hearers of the general public.

So I’m here to say with urgency today that I’m cranking up the machine. I’m not going to continue to be lazy and complacent about releasing more tools and jewels in the form of Books, CD’s, DVD’s and MP3’s, etc. I can’t die with this stuff still in me because I would be surely disappointing the one who gave it to me to give to you.

I’m looking for yet another opportunity to help you to Make it GREAT! So be on the lookout for what’s to come.

Oh, by popular demand, mark your calendars for something BIG in this June: It’s on 6/30 @ 6:30p at the Double Tree Hotel (More details to follow) Bakersfield, CA

Finding this one important thing is a God-ordained, inalienable right and not an assigned privilege, but still many the world-over haven’t found it yet, or even worse than that, some aren’t even looking for it. And what’s even more shocking is the ones who know what it is still may be spending most of their time doing things that have absolutely nothing to do with it. What is this one thing? Well, it’s quite simply your Passion.

To this I say to you today, “Please don’t let it be you”. We can get a refund on a lot of things in this life if we keep the receipt, but time isn’t one of them. That’s right my friends, you can’t get the “Time” thing back no matter how hard you try.

So let’s not spend our time trying to make this ‘life’ thing good, let’s invest our time wisely in our areas of passion and shoot for making it GREAT! Somebody will be glad you did, and that somebody just might be YOU. 🙂

Let’s Make it GREAT!

I’ve discovered over the years that the potential and ability to succeed and make a positive impact in this world exist in all of us, but any type of success has an incubation period. It may be lying dormant in some and active in others, but make no mistake about it, the potential exist in all of us. The catch is we have to pursue it long and strong enough for it to become reality.

The gestation and incubation period for these seeds of impact and success always differ from one person to the other, so don’t be discouraged by the apparent success others are experiencing around you. Your time too shall eventually come if you take the right actions and stick around long enough for your success to show up.

So a good question today is, “Are you still on your journey, or did you succumb to the pressure and quit too soon?” Please don’t answer this question here, just make sure in your heart you’re clear.

Let’s Make it GREAT!

I have a question today that just might reveal an answer that you might not expect. What travels faster than a speeding bullet, is more powerful than any locomotive and is able to leap over the tallest of buildings in a single bound? There’s no reason to look up into the sky for it because it’s definitely not a bird or a plane. So what is this thing you might ask?

Well, some of you may think you’ve got the answer, but I beg to differ. No, it’s not the famed Comic Book Hero, “Man of Steel” Superman. This time it’s the real-life, evil villain called “Negativity”.

This Negativity has been known to travel faster than the speed of “Life” causing irreparable damage to many the world over. This super-villain is reckless, heartless and appears to have a total flagrant disregard for anyone or anything. The perpetuation and proliferation of this “Negativity” thing can break up families, tear-down communities, rip apart churches and even jump-start the Greatest of world wars.

But as with every villain or super-hero, there is always a surefire kryptonite and that kryptonite for the villain of Negativity is quite simply choosing NOT to spread it. Yes that’s right my friends it’s that simple, DON’T participate.

The natural antagonist to Negativity is Positivity. So commit today to plant positive seeds where you encounter Negative weeds. This breadcrumb of wisdom can make a whole world of difference so let’s apply it and Make if GREAT!
