One of the best ways to succeed at something in life is to first conduct an exploratory investigation to figure out why others have failed at it and then, quite simply, DON’T DO WHAT THEY DID! 🙂

That’s right my friends, some of the best lessons I’ve ever learned in this “life” thing have been the ones I learned from the failures and experiences of others. Sounds simple enough right? But you’d be surprised how complicated some tend to make this process as oftentimes it seems that they would prefer to try it out themselves.

So I invite you to consider the following unsolicited advice today. Don’t just seek-out ways to succeed, it can be equally as important to also pay close attention to why others have failed. Simply put, on the journey through the minefield of life, it may be a good idea to follow someone who knows where NOT to step. Make’s simple since to me. 😉

Let’s Make it GREAT!

I woke up this morning and was lying in my most inspirational position which is flat on my back looking up at the ceiling when suddenly it dawned on me that one day I will probably take my last breath of life in this same position.

Then I began to think about when that day comes, what phrase would I want to best describe my life’s journey at that moment of reflection, and here’s what I came up with: “I had a Ball and tried to capture it All to make others T.A.L.L. (Think-Act-Laugh-Learn)”.

I truly believe that our accumulation of life experiences are for us to share with others so that they can learn from our good and not-so-good actions thereby increasing the chances that others will know better and do better. After all, making this world better for all to see starts with what others see in you and me.

So, what will be your phrase of reflection when that inevitable last hour comes for you? No need to answer out loud, just make us proud and stand out from the crowd as you attempt to Make it GREAT!

Are you up for a friendly round of “Truth or Dare” this week? Ok, here goes…

I “Dare” you to commit a completely Random-Act-of-Kindness (RAK) to a complete stranger then post the “Truth” about their reaction and how it made you feel. This type of activity is actually contagious and it certainly would be nice if we started a full-blown RAK-Epidemic.

Oh, by-the-way, this RAK doesn’t have to be with money and it doesn’t have to be anonymous. You can be as creative as you “Dare” to be. 😉

Wanta play? Well, you have an entire week. So, Ready, Set, GO!

The late, great author Mark Twain is credited with the famous quote of, “The two most important days in our life is the day we were born and the day we found out why.” Although this sounds good, I believe that Mark Twain fell just a little bit short of getting it totally right.

I humbly submit that there are actually three most important days in our life and NOT just two. One is definitely the day we were born, the second is the day we found out “why” and the most important day should be the day we committed to do something about it.

That’s right folks, just knowing about “Why” we were born is never enough, we have to actually take some action-steps and live-out our “why” to positively impact the world around us.

So, I guess a good question to ponder this week is, Have you found your “Why” yet? Or, maybe an even better question is, Are you even looking? And finally, if/when you find it, are you prepared to act on it? Hmmm… You don’t have to answer these questions here, just make sure you’re crystal clear.

The world is counting on you to take your “Why” and make it GREAT! Let’s make this week so awesome that last week gets insanely jealous. Let’s Make it GREAT!!!

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!
