Hey, I just realized that yesterday was Friday the 13th. Whoa!!! I forgot to worry about bad stuff happening…. Hey, you know what, that’s not a bad strategy to use in life. Now, if we could just make ourselves forget to worry about things that could possibly go wrong and live fearlessly in the “Now”, that would be AWESOME!

Well, now I have a new strategy to practice. Dare to join me as I attempt to Make each day GREAT by forgetting to worry about the unpredictable future! LOL 😉

No Worrying in advance allowed. 😉

Well, I was up a little late last night and you know what that means. Yep, I wrote another poem that is sure to speak to somebody out there in cyberspace. Enjoy and don’t be afraid to pass it on:

Please lend me an ear all parents far and near and take a peek at what I’ve seen.
In a world full of truance and kids greatest influence is now radios and video screens.

But this notion shouldn’t shock you, knock you or rock you, nor should it come as a surprise.
How the media’s prominence is asserting its dominance and controlling our kid’s minds and lives.

The biggest clear and present danger is not coming from strangers abroad with terrorist like Al-Qaida and ISIS,
It’s the information being viewed and downloaded from Youtube on our kid’s electronic devices.

They retreat to bedrooms and online chat-rooms for private-time with their electronic friends,
This opens the door of their minds and much more for corruption that starts from within.

The things that they hear through their I-pods so clear soon will flow from their head to their heart.
And the things that they see on their phones and TV’s can deceive them and set them apart.

For Example…

The songs now-a-days that the radio plays makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck,
With the words the artist say and the actions they display it’s no wonder many kids have no respect.

And you absentee fathers that don’t even bother because you have more important things to do.
Don’t worry my friends for the media will gladly step in and be that surrogate replacement for you.

Media comes in many shapes, sizes and colors and now access is in the palm of their hands.
But when access becomes excess they may fail at their best test which is “life” and they won’t stand a chance.

This may be a bit harsh but I want to use my voice to put others on notice and act as a warning.
Now a change can be made but it may take several days, start now and don’t wait till the morning.

So you fathers and mothers and big sisters and brothers take heed to my short little rhyme.
Influence can be fleeting with the media competing so stay involved because you can’t get back the time.

Let’s stay relevant in our kid’s lives by staying involved and our influence just may last a lifetime. Let’s Make it GREAT!!!

As I look around in observation of the obvious I can’t help but to notice that many continue to leverage the promise of positive change to gain elected positions of power only to disappoint those who need it most time-and-time again. To this end, may I humbly suggest that we take this action as a blatant sign that our trust for change should never, ever be left in the hands of “man” but in our own actions endowed and endorsed by the will of the one who created us all.

Yes my friends you have been endowed with the power and internal tools to work in your own best interest toward positive change and don’t you ever forget it. So, don’t wait for someone to co-sign on your dream of what’s possible for you. Get-on out there and Make it GREAT!!!

Had a great time on the “Open Up Show” with Don & Tina. Take a quick peek and find out what made them shout out loud and exchange a high-five with me. 🙂

Got a quick minute? If so, let me encourage you on this “Hump-Day-Wednesday” to be careful not to allow the hope of the “When & Then” of tomorrow to strip you away from taking full advantage of the joy and infinite possibilities of the “Here & NOW” of today.

Yes my friends, we must categorically refuse to be counted among the many who continue to fall victim to blindly stumbling through a life void of experiencing what it really feels like to actually “Live”. We will welcome the countless opportunities to manage risk and take chances and be willing to fail our way to success for we know that indeed this is the unavoidable right-of-passage for all of those who came, saw and conquered. We fully understand that the litmus test for those who dare to do great things starts with a proclamation and manifestation of such a decree.

So, “LIVE!” I say to you NOT just today, but every day in every way and squeeze the juice out of every moment that the “NOW” has to offer and be careful not to let pessimistic, poverty-mindset people poison your potential to overcome and become something deemed worthy of the term “GREAT”!

Now get-on out there today and wrap your little hands around the neck of this life and choke it into submission of your demands and let’s Make it GREAT!
