It can be your most formidable foe or your bestest of friends,
Depending on the physical state that it’s in.

It can rain down on your head or slide under your feet.
And the path of least resistance is usually what it seeks.

Too much of it causes death and not enough causes devastation.
But it’s essential to sustaining life when it’s used in moderation.

It can sprinkle, it can splash, it can flow it can crash.
All living things need it even the trees and the grass.

Our planet it covers by a fraction of two-thirds.
It governs the seasons and the migration of the herds.
It even dictates the paths of the flight of the birds,
And the outcome of battles between ISIS and Kurds.

Some hike for miles to get it in the driest regions of the planet,
While others just turn on the tap and usually take it for granted.

By now you may know what this element is,
Which all must consume in order to live.

Its importance is undeniable in the circle of life.
For lack of it will surely cause stress, strain and strife.

The planet can get no more of it and never any less.
So, we should take care of what we have and treat it with our best.

Yes, the same has been consumed by even ancient dinosaurs,
By every plant and nut eater and every meat carnivore.

This resource will need to be used by our sons and our daughters.
So let’s do what we can from day-to-day to preserve and protect our vital water.

Let’s Make it GREAT!

Got a question for you today, “How’s that backpack of yours looking lately?”

At the end of our journey through this “life” thing we must make sure that our backpack is empty before we crossover to the other side. “Empty of what” you may ask? Well, empty of the gifts, talents and potential that was placed inside of us at birth.

You see, most people bumble and stumble their way through this “life” thing caught up in minutia and mundane meaningless movement in survival mode and they miss out on the opportunity to leverage their gifts and talents to make a positive impact in the lives of others and help our hurting humanity.

Yes that’s right my friends, many of us are destined to reach the end of our life’s journey only to hand over our backpacks still full of unrealized potential, unused talents and unopened gifts with the tags and wrapping paper still on them. I truly believe that one of the biggest tragedies this side of the universe is a life lived in the absence of the use of one’s God-given potential, so please don’t let this be you.

I invite you today to consider that we just might be the Tylenol for someone else’s headache, heartache and pain in this “life” thing. There’s a good chance that we just might be the miracle for that special someone or someone’s who are desperately waiting for us to step fully into the role of our gifts and talents to help inspire and encourage them to win.

Quite frankly, I believe that the use of our talents, gifts and story alone is meant to impact a select group of people on this great planet of ours so let’s NOT let them down, not in this life. Let’s recommit to be the exception to the unwritten rule that most people have unknowingly bought into. Let’s make sure that our backpacks are empty and void of any and all unused potential.

Let’s be the ones who invest a life-time in taking our unique gifts, talents and God-given potential and making it GREAT so that others might do the same.

Let’s Make it GREAT!!!

Ever woke up in the morning feeling excited and ready to take-on the world? Well, this morning was not one of those mornings for me, but something special happened and I just had to share it in this short poem I wrote:

I woke up early this morning and was feeling kinda down,
But I took an extreme power walk and turned it all around.

I came back to my office and sat down at my desk,
And I asked myself the question, “How could I help the rest”.

So I grabbed my trusted keyboard and created this short poem,
And hopefully you can use it to get you through your storm.

There’s something I discovered just a few short years ago.
If you change your body’s physical state, so too your mind will flow.

That’s right,

Your body will usually dictate just what your mind will feel.
Those who’ve learned to alter their state are masters of this skill.

So, if you woke this morning and you’re feeling kinda blue,
Leverage this technique of body & mind and I’m sure it’ll help you too. 😉

Now get-on out there and change your fate,
And take this “good” day and Make it GREAT!

Ahhh… Fall brings with it a welcomed relief from the heat of the summer months and a chance to breathe in the crisp morning air and take in the beautiful Fall colors that it brings. Fall is also a great time to re-evaluate where we’re at on our life’s journey and where it is that we’re trying to go. Hmmm…

This Fall, we must continue to be careful NOT to let ourselves Fall back into old habits that have stifled our progress in the not-so-distant past. Just as with the falling leaves of Fall, we too must make an effort to shake-off the old and make way for the new and improved Us.

Yes, we can be better this Fall than we were the last Fall. So, let me be the first to congratulate you in advance for adopting those new principles and philosophies that will eventually result in you Making it GREAT!

GREAT FALL!!!

Please allow me to be the first to give you some unsolicited words of encouragement today whoever you are and highlight some key truths that you may need to be reminded of at this current time.

You may feel a bit pressed but remember you’re NOT crushed.
You may feel assaulted at times but you’re NOT annihilated.
You may feel hurt but it’s NOT hopeless.
You may be down but you’re NOT defeated.
You may feel a little lonely but you’re never alone.
You may feel that you can’t win but you’re NOT a loser.
You may feel a bit confused but you’re NOT conquered.
And, at times you may feel persecuted but at NO time are you ever abandoned.

Yes my friends, troubles and struggles don’t last always and when you’re in the fog of what may appear to be Fear, Frustration and Failure it may be a bit hard to see the big sun that once made you smile. But take heart my friends for that sun is still there, you just have to keep pushing on through until the fog breaks and you can see clearly again.

So, hang-on-in-there my friends and know that “this too shall pass” and you will then have yet another story to tell of how you were able to overcome and become a little bit better during the process. And, never forget that we only get one time through this “life” thing, so let’s NOT just try to make it “good”, let’s keep-on-pushing to Make it GREAT!
