Ice-cream and life both have a distinct parallel.  Just as ice-cream has many possible flavors, life has many different scenarios. Life’s not always peaches and cream, sometimes it’s rocky road.  So we have to make sure our mental spoon is equipped to handle all the different flavors of life.

Yes this life can sucker-punch you square in the face when you least expect it and then kick you while your down.  So be sure to invest in some personal WMD (Weapons of Mental Development) in the form of books, CD’s, DVD’s and MP-3’s that’s designed to fill you up with low carb, low calorie brain food.  No artificial colors or flavors or saturated fats, just the good stuff.

I’ve got one suggestion if I may?  My book “Make it GREAT” definitely should be on your list.  Some reviews are calling it the “new bible of personal development”.  What an honor. 

Be sure to check it out for yourself.  It’s available for order today @:   www.MakeItGreatNOW.com 

My PSA – FYI
(Public Service Announcement – For Your Information):

I was hanging out with some buddies yesterday doing the “lunch” thing at one of my favorite spots called RJ’s in Bakersfield, CA.  I had an awesome time talking about future goals and ideas and ways to create value and help others on this journey called “life”.  While driving home after our lunch my body began to digest the patty-melt and fries and my mind began to digest the conversation we had and I stumbled upon another one of my “Hallelujah moments of clarity” that prompted the following PSA–FYI:

I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation and realize that the experience couldn’t have happened in cyberspace.  This affirms the point that we must beware of what I call the “technology conundrum” as it relates to our communication and social skills today. What is this you may ask?  Well, it’s the action of accepting words on a page and a text or electronic message as a default that’s used to communicate to friends and family.  Technology is meant to help us do things better and more effectively and efficiently, but I believe that overuse and abuse of it can hurt us in the long run.  I’m even finding that attempting to actually call someone on their cell phone now-a-days rather than text or message them is becoming almost offensive to some people.  Hmmmm…  I think we can all agree that technology overall is a “good” thing, but even too much of a “good” thing can yield “not-so-good” results. 

May I be so bold as to offer a bit of unsolicited advice to you today?  While this “technology” thing may be convenient and more efficient at times, let’s be careful not to make the huge mistake of depriving our loved ones of what they like most about us, which is our pretty face and lovely voice.  We must make a point to go see that relative or take that friend to lunch or call that brother or sister that you haven’t made time to speak to lately.

Engaging in the actual “physical” act of socializing and communicating and being in community with others is an absolute must to preserve all those precious characteristics and traits that make us who we are as human beings in this world.  Let’s be careful not to let technology damage and retard the social skills of our generation and the generations to come. 

Simply put, you can’t eat a patty-melt and fries over the internet, at least not yet.   🙂   So, get off the internet more often and get on over to your “inner-network” of family and friends and be more intentional about staying physically connected.

Just a little PSA-FYI for you today reminding you to make it GREAT!   

My Book:     Make it GREAT 
www.MakeItGreatNOW.com

Living in a world where “sex” sells, “drama” dominates, “chaos” is a cash-cow, “profanity” is profitable and “raunchy” and “risqué” rules the airwaves and cyberspace, one of my biggest struggles and challenges has been trying to attract and maintain the attention of the masses. 

I must admit that it’s becoming extremely harder and harder to compete with video games and internet-cyberspace.  The mind-numbing TV shows, radios, picture shows and video’s are managing to seduce most of the general public into accepting a mediocre mindset.  Yet I fight-on.

I fight on because I know my cause is noble and just.  I fight-on because my mission is worthy of my best efforts.  I fight-on because I was created for a task such as this.  I fight-on because evil can only prosper and grow if good men/women stand by and do nothing.  I fight-on because my boys want to be like me and they’re watching my every step.   I fight-on because someone, somewhere is unknowingly waiting to be Inspired, Motivated or Educated by my message and content.

In spite of the existing challenge, my #1 goal hasn’t changed a bit.  I still aspire to remain relevant and produce positive, life altering content in a very competitive market.  “I think I can, I think I can, I think I can.” was the famous words spoken by the Little Engine that Could, but my emphatic word-phrase is, “I know I can, I Know I Can, I ABSOLUTELY KNOW I CAN !!!”

Today I have no shame in admitting that I need all the help I can possibly get from my friends both on and off-line.  So I say to you today, if you’ve ever been blessed by any of my work, writings or content, feel free to refer others to my Facebook page and my website and blog regularly @:  www.CedricCrawford.com. 

There’s sooooo much more positive content to come in the days ahead in the form of Books, CD’s, DVD’s, MP-3’s, Podcast, Live Events, etc, etc, etc…  So keep tuning in and be sure to tell a friend or two or TEN!

I’m on a mission to help others to Make it GREAT !!! 
It just gets better from here.  So Spread the Word !!!

Got a big dream?  Well, I do and if you’re in the “dreaming” business like me you might as well dream BIG because a small dream coming true might leave you feeling like you missed out. 

I truly believe that our biggest goals and dreams should be so big that in order to achieve them we would have to have a silent partner with deep pockets that’s capable of miracles and believes nothings impossible.

I can personally say as it relates to my biggest goals and dreams in this life, my very existence and ultimate success hinges and directly depends on the extraordinary actions and contributions and favors of my silent partner, and to Him I say “Thank You”.  Thank you in advance for all that you’re doing and going to do to make my vision an enormous reality.  Thank you for the ability to use the abilities that you’ve given me.  To Him I say thank you for keeping my path and goal crystal clear in a world full of noise, toys, fog and smog.  Thanks for slowing me down when I’m going too fast and speeding me up when I’m going too slow.  And most importantly, to Him I say thank you for being my friend in spite of my faults, fallacies, habits and hang-ups, your grace and mercy and patience is greatly appreciated.   I sure hope He reads this post today.     🙂

My one sincere request of my silent partner today is that He will help you to supersize your goals and dreams too and do something BIG for our hurting humanity.  It’s never too early and never too late to set some big goals and dreams and make it GREAT!

Got a BIG DREAM?  Need a silent partner?  Just seek and you shall find.”
