As a kid growing up in a Southern Pentecostal Church in Texas I remember one of the church-members named Sister Carter used to always sing the lyrics of a song that had the words, “Give me my flowers while I can see them so that I can see and smell the beauty that they bring”. As a young kid I would always get a chuckle out of hearing her sing that song. 🙂

Now as an adult I often reflect back to that time with fond memories and after thinking about it a bit, I now see an even deeper meaning and metaphor behind the words of that song and I would like to share my thought with you today.

While it is true that when we’re dead and gone we can never enjoy the beauty and the fragrance of the flowers in this world that our friends and family leave for us at our graveside, so too is it true that we can never know what positive thing(s) or influence we had on someone else in this life unless that person(s) takes the time to tell us how much they appreciate us.

To that end, I feel so incredibly fortunate to be a person that receives such flowers of approbation and appreciation on a regular basis from many people I’ve had the privilege of serving in some way, shape or form in this life. Nothing makes me smile bigger than knowing that something I did, wrote or said to someone had a positive impact on them.

So I invite you today to consider giving others their flowers of thanks, gratitude and recognition while they can see, hear and experience it here in this life because once we’re gone, we’re gone……

Now go Make it GREAT!

My little breadcrumb of wisdom for you today as you roll into your new week is that we all should be living to create the highest expression of ourselves and not be duped into settling for less.

The highest and best use of our talents and gifts in service to this hurting humanity in some way, shape or form is key and anything less is a complete waste because it leaves our best parts and potential on the table of life.

So let’s not let that be our story. We will indeed commit to Make it GREAT!

WARNING!!!

Be careful not to hang around people who suck. Yes that’s right I said “suck”.

Those people who have the special ability to literally suck the energy right out of a room and right out of you too. I call these people Energy Elephants and their trunks have an incredible sucking power that can create a vortex that will leave you wondering how, why and what just happened.

Simply put, hanging with those who “suck” can eventually make you suck too and prevent you from “suc-ceeding”. So be sure to steer clear of those Energy Elephants that are sucking their way through life out there on your way to Making it GREAT!

Something pretty BIG is coming and it’s written on my shirt (Pie).

No it has absolutely nothing to do with math and it’s definitely not something you put in your mouth to eat.

It’s my newest revolutionary breakthrough that not only answers the age-old question of “Why” we’re here, but it also embodies a rock-solid process that helps anyone young and old to develop their area of excellence and deliver it to the world.

This “Pie” Process is destined to become a movement that can quite potentially become a globally recognized household symbol that will be associated with making “your” impact on the world.

Critics are raving about my new “Pie” phenomenon and I can’t wait to share the steps and the concept with you and hear your reactions to it all. Be prepared to scoff in amazement. So stay tuned… 😉
