I showed up unannounced at the gym today in search of one of my old friends whom I hadn’t hung out with in a few weeks. I knew he would be there hanging out in his usual areas so he wouldn’t be very hard to find. This friend is definitely one of those rare friends of mine that I have a love/hate relationship with but he’s guaranteed to always produce results in me in more ways than one.

Many of you may know this friend of mine and may also have similar stories of how he’s helped you to produce desired results too in the past. For those of you who haven’t quite figured out who this friend of mine is yet, please allow me to introduce you to him. His name is PAIN.

Yep that’s right my friends, good-ole’ Pain is his name and he also has a couple of cousins named Adversity and Strain and I’ve found that they too are equally as talented at producing results and making me better.

I encourage you to get to know these cousins Pain, Adversity and Strain on a personal basis because it’s there you will eventually find the GAIN you seek.

Now get-on out there and Make it GREAT!!!

Feeling like you’re at a fork in the road and the odds are stacked against you making it through this crucial point in life unscathed? Well, the words “fear not” appears 365 times in my favorite book which is commonly referred to as “The Bible”. Yes that’s right my friends, there’s one “fear not” for every day of the year. Coincidence? Hmmm… I think not. And, even on leap year I guess we can assume that we’re supposed to continue to “fear not” on that extra day as well.

So, I may not know you but I bet I know you have those days when this reminder is absolutely necessary. So, “FEAR NOT” my friends as you embark upon your unpredictable journey and take solace in the thought that there will be a lesson designed to make you better hidden inside whatever choice you make on your way to Making it GREAT!

So, FEAR NOT and make it an AWESOME WEEK!!!

Would it surprise you if I told you that you’re the Tylenol and Motrin for somebody else’s Aches and Pains in life? Or would you be shocked if I said that your story and testimony of overcoming and becoming someone better today than you were yesterday is fit for the ears of someone who’s in desperate need to hear a resounding voice of hope?

Well, don’t be surprised or shocked because it’s actually true. Our past experiences does in fact qualify us to be some form of relief to others who are having to endure similar situations and circumstances that we’ve gone through.

So, as this is true, I encourage you today NOT to waste your past test but to turn it into your testimony. Leverage your past mess and make it a compelling message. And, take your past breakdown and show others how you made it into a breakthrough.

Yes my friends the world needs us now more than ever before to step-up and step-into our roles and play them to Oscar-caliber for the sake of others. So I say, “BRAVO!” in advance to those who will answer the call to give it their all.

Now let’s go Make it GREAT!

My Wednesday Warning of Wisdom for you is a friendly reminder and although I may have said this before in the past, it definitely bears repeating that our most formidable “Enemy” will be our “Inner-Me”.

That’s right friends, our “Inner-Me” knows all of our weaknesses and keeps extremely accurate records of our faults, failures and fears and won’t think twice about leveraging them to keep things at an unchanged, predictable status quo. So, be sure to install some great daily disciplines that keeps that “Inner-Me” of yours at bay and keeps you moving in the direction of the results you desire.

Let’s Make it GREAT!

Was on my way to an appointment today and happened to glance over at the woman in the car next to me and noticed the look on her face was one that could have said many things about her but none were good. Naturally this incident got me to thinking and of course you know what comes next when that happens. Yep, I just have to write something about it.

Ever heard the phrase, “It’s written all over your face”? Well, the truth is our candid facial expression can tell a lot about the life we’ve lived or the day we’re having, and just-so-happened most candid expressions tend to be a bit melancholy. In fact, I’ve found that in most cases it takes an intentional effort for our facial expression to display joy and happiness when we’re in a relaxed state. But I submit that when we make an effort to intentionally smile on a regular basis, we will eventually find that we have more things to smile about.

So for those of you who are enduring some troubles and struggles at this time in your life, be encouraged and advised today that you may be pressed, but you’re not crushed. You may be persecuted but never are you abandoned. You may be hurt a bit but you’re not hopeless and you may feel assaulted or attacked but never, ever are you alienated or annihilated.

Hang in there my friend and practice flexing your smile muscles on a regular basis throughout the day and watch the magic happen in your life. It works for me…

Let’s Make it GREAT!!! 😉
