This may come as a bit of a shock to many of you but I’m told that the harsh truth tends to do that from time-to-time. So here-goes my latest thought inspired by insomnia:

After giving it some thought I now realize that our planet really is rich with abundant resources and can provide for the needs of everyone. But, over countless years it appears that many of us have ever-so-gradually morphed into creatures who are looking to leverage the planets riches and abundant resources to finance our own selfish agenda for gain.

Many of us have become more interested in innovating rather than inspirating, motivating and educating. We’re now focusing more on our earnings instead of others yearnings. It appears many of us have completely given ourselves over to greed rather than responding to those who are genuinely in need.

To this abysmal reality I say “Do not despair” for there is hope, and that hope lies in me. Yep that’s right my friends I did say “Me”. Oh, and that hope lies in you too. In the words of the late, great, world-renowned, intellectual philosopher Michael Jackson, “I’m starting with the man in the mirror and I’m asking him to change his ways….If you want to make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and then make a change. Nah-nah-nah, Nah-nah-nah, etc…” Or something like that. 🙂

So a good question today is, are you just exploiting the riches and abundant resources of our beautiful planet for your own selfish gain? Is there a change needed in your future to bring you back to what matters most? No need to answer out loud, just make us all proud and stand out from the crowd and say out loud, Make it GREAT!!! Yep, we definitely have our work cut out for us.

Finding yourself wanting to text people more than talking to them lately? Well, you’re not alone. I’ll be the first to admit that I have to intentionally stop myself from texting and dial a number so that I can actually engage in a verbal conversation with people.

I swear that this new technology stuff is making me lazy in the physical socialization category. So I’m fighting to hold on to my old southern chivalrous qualities that I once held dear.

I would still much rather hear your voice than to read your text. I would much rather hug your neck than to shake your hand. Let’s walk to the park and have a home-cooked meal instead of drive to the corner to get a big bag through a small window. Let’s talk as strangers in a waiting room rather than go blind staring at our “Smart”-phones that are probably making us “Dumb” and uninviting to others.

Yes my friends these simple things can definitely help us to stay connected with each other in a world that’s trying to rip us socially apart. Now, don’t get me wrong, new advances in technology are becoming more and more awesome but meaningful relationships can and should be maintained and sustained outside of electronic mediums in a World-Wide-Wacky-Wild-Web.

So, I encourage you NOT to fall for the “Okie-Doke-Joke” of technological progress. Stay ever-so-loyal to the meaningful interactions of the “real” world and you just might find yourself Making it GREAT!

GREAT DAY!!!

Hey guys and gals I just wanted to give you a friendly reminder that we only get one time at this “Life” thing so let’s not just try to make it “Good”, let’s Make it absolutely GREAT!

From this day forward you now have unbridled permission to live like you’ve had a near-death experience. Use your good dishes. Sit on your fancy furniture. Go on that exotic trip you’ve been dreaming about. Start that non-profit you’ve been talking about. Run that marathon, etc, etc, etc… Sure some of this may cost you some money but money can be regained, however, the passing of time will always remain.

Yep that’s right my friends, we can make more money but we can never make more time. So make plans to Make it GREAT while you still can!

On this day at approximately this exact time 21 years ago I met this gal named Karen Ice in a night club on the Las Vegas Strip next to the Fat Burger and MGM Hotel.

She was a California PK (Preachers Kid) who’s eyes were as Ice-Blue as her last name and I was a good-ole’-fashioned 8-day-a-week church-going, Southern Pentecostal boy from Dallas, Texas. We had both been told that we would never find “the marrying type” in a club. Well, I’m glad we didn’t let that stop us from looking, LOL.

Truth be told, we weren’t actually looking at the time but as fate would have it, we stumbled into each other and are still here today disproving the old myth of “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas”. A happenstance-chance-meeting I think not. God was actually up to something in that night club of all places, LOL…

Yes we happened in Vegas but didn’t stay. A good, clean, old-fashioned gal made an honest man out of me and I’ve been smiling every since. This gal is not only good “to me” but she’s also good “for me” and I’m not sure where I’d be or what I’d be without her.

Thanks Karen for NOT believing the lie of where you wouldn’t find the right guy. 😉

I just had to share……..
May 28th, 1994 @ approx. 10:15 pm (PST), the date of a match made in Heaven.

Having pride in oneself is a process that should always be a work-in-progress.

Yes my friends, when it comes to our own “pride” we can never arrive. We have to stay in a constant positive flow reminding ourselves of our value and worth because the world is littered with those who appear to be hardwired to create a frown and bring us down.

It’s almost like there’s some sort of invisible, “Happy-Medium Zone” in life or something and anytime someone is too far below it, people respond by pulling them up with a kind or encouraging word or two. But, anytime we’re flying too far above it people turn into so-called “Haters” and “Crab-Grabbers” and spew-out words and engage in actions that are designed to hurt others and pull them back down to the “Happy-Medium Zone”.

Yes my friends there appears to be no shortage of would-be joy-stealers that are quick to steal peoples thunder and assault them with the lightening of a fiery word or two in an attempt to bring them back “down-to-earth” to the “Happy-Medium Zone”.

Well, I for one would like to go on record and state that I will never be comfortable with being a part of the “Happy-Medium Zone” and neither should you. I encourage you today to never just settle for a satisfactory compromise of a mediocre existence and lackluster life to appease the masses. Continue to flex your confidence muscles and think highly of yourself no matter what and know that you’re worth much more than just some-ole’ “Happy-Medium”.

You mean much more than just the world to somebody out there and don’t you ever forget it! Yes your value and worth is off-the-charts my friend and I LOVE IT!!!

Now, GET YOUR GREAT DAY UNDERWAY and Make it GREAT!!!
