I was sitting in a packed physician’s waiting room today and a young solo pregnant Mom was called back by one of the nurses. She got up and slowly walked over to the doorway and fainted into the arms of the young nurse. There was an audible gasp by many and several people, including myself, then sprang into action to help her.

I must admit that I was overwhelmed by the capacity of compassion that total strangers were capable of in that moment. The interesting thing is that in that moment no one cared about the color of her skin or her status or her religious or political affiliation or even her sexual orientation. They all just saw a woman in need and innately reacted accordingly.

I truly believe that this shows that when we strip everything else away, what remains is a raw human being that was created and designed in the likeness of a God that’s capable of immeasurable love and compassion. And since we were created in His likeness we honor him by demonstrating the same to His people.

Simply put: We all may have arrived to this country on different ships, but we’re all in the same boat in this “life” thing. So, let’s continue to be the face and hands of unbridled Love, Kindness and Compassion and pass it on.

Don’t miss your opportunities.

Btw, that little pregnant Mom is OK now. 🙂

Now that’s a first…

I placed an order online for this T-shirt with a catchy message and two days later I received the shirt with a personalized letter from the owner. I was so impressed with the personalized, quick customer service that I reached out to the owner and was surprised to find out her amazing story of what I call “Trauma-to-Triumph”.

She managed to turn what doctors call PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) into what I call PTSP (Post Traumatic Strength & Power) and leverage her story to encourage & empower others who has suffered as she did/does. In fact, her “War Fit” (WarFit.net) apparel line is her way of inspiring others and giving them hope for a better tomorrow.

So, meet my new friend Erika Amini. She is indeed a Rock Star of the best kind, so take a peek at her and catch a glimpse and reflect on what’s possible for you.

Don’t miss your opportunity to leverage your story of triumph to encourage this hurting humanity. The world needs you now more than ever before. Now, get-on out there and “Make Your Own Luck” as you attempt to Make it GREAT!!!

GREAT WEEKEND !!!

Was at an event recently and I actually heard one of the speakers say that a recent study showed that when traumatic events happen in our life, being positive doesn’t help. My first thought after hearing such a thing was “Who in the heck did they survey to get that information?”

Over the years some of the most positive people I’ve had the privilege of knowing have experienced major traumatic events in their lives and credit their positive outlook and perspective with their recovery. So my good word to you today is to be careful my friends, for with the ever-increasing “Information Age” also comes an ever-increasing amount of “questionable information”.

So, if you’re ever given the choice of being positive or negative after a traumatic event in your life, face the reality of change and then choose your future outlook and attitude wisely. Be positive NOT negative and Make it GREAT!!!

You woke me up this morning with a fit body and a sound mind and then had to just settle for watching me hustle out the door with my breakfast in my hand without a thank you.

I then rushed from place-to-place and appointment-to-appointment without even the slightest nod of acknowledgement to you.

I returned phone calls and made future plans and even expressed thank you to others who’ve been lending a hand and you tried to get my attention by blowing the wind, but I gave not a hint of recognition for you being my biggest fan.

But during my evening errands you blindsided me with an evening view that was so majestic that I had to slow down, pull off the road, turn the radio off, take out my camera, exit my vehicle and raise my hands in reverence to you being “The MAN!”

Thank you Lord for knowing me and showing me your majesty. May others see you in all that I do as you continue to get me through. Mr. Make it Great definitely couldn’t “Make it Great” without your mercy and grace. 🙂

Let’s take time to tune-out so we can tune-in to our heavenly friend again-and-again.

GREAT DAY!!!

“BUT CEDRIC, HE KEEPS CALLING ME NAMES!” he yelled. “Well if it doesn’t apply, don’t cry, just let it fly and pass you by.” I said with a subtle sigh.

My group-home boys are street-smart but I don’t think he got it yet, but it sure sounded good coming out of my mouth. LOL… I think I have a new phrase now.

Feel free to borrow it for your situations of challenge in the coming days if you need it also. I’m sure that you agree that we could all use a little help Making it GREAT from time-to-time.

GREAT DAY!!! Let it fly… 😉
