Only in the sports world does having the most “Time of Possession” (amount of time a team controls the ball) usually results in a win.  But in the world of communication with others the one who has the most “Time of Possession” (amount of talk time) is usually loosing.

Yes that’s right friends, when attempting to effectively communicate with others we must seek first to understand others by listening before we seek to be understood.  We must concede to give the “Time of Possession” over to others and listen intently to uncover and discover their objectives and agenda and then determine if our own mission and objectives suggest that a union or strategic alliance is in-order.

So don’t be afraid to give up the “Time of Possession” during the many seasons of your life because it’s sure to get you a few steps closer to a win-win relationship and outcome with others.

This breadcrumb of wisdom can surely make the difference between you making this life “good” or making this life GREAT!  Enjoy…

Ever heard the phrase, “Like father like son”?  Well, today I invite you to consider the fact that this does not have to be the case unless you want it to be.

Yes that’s right gentlemen, if your father was a drunk, druggy, criminal, womanizer, adulterer, liar, alcoholic, abuser or just a plain-ole’ deadbeat absentee looser, you don’t have to follow in those unworthy footsteps.  You can choose to separate yourself from that type of behavior and break the negative cycle and start modeling and creating a new cycle of positive influence on those young impressionable men in your life.

I want to ring the doorbell of your heart today and encourage you to open it up and receive this message of hope and change whoever “You” are and know that yes you can Make it GREAT in spite of what was modeled to you in your not-so-distant past.

No my Dad wasn’t perfect but I consider myself as blessed and extremely fortunate because he came pretty close to perfection and he definitely embodied and possessed a lot of traits and characteristics that were worthy of emulating.  As a result, now in so many ways I’m proud to say that indeed, “Like father like son”.

So whatever your case is today, whether “Father like Son” or even “Mother like Daughter”, may you choose to create a positive cycle that’s worthy of emulating and repeating, and keep leaning forward in your noble efforts to make this “good” life GREAT!

GREAT WEEK!!!

I’ve discovered in this “life” thing that sometimes the best thing we can do is just shut up and listen even if we know that the person speaking is as wrong as two left shoes because our words may only be adding fuel to their fire of confusion.

That’s right folks, sometimes the person we’re debating with could care less about the “real” facts because their focus becomes more about feeling like they’ve “won” and you allowing them to escape and save face may be your best option in the moment.

Just concede to move-on and let them keep their belief because even if you can prove you’re right, the chances are you’ll still end up being wrong in their eyes because as the old saying goes, “a person convinced against their will is of the same opinion still”.

So don’t be afraid to shut-up so you can move-on up and Make it GREAT!  🙂
