Was hanging out at the beach the other day staring at the waves crashing into the shore and I suddenly felt a small wind of inspiration come over me so I grabbed my trusted old pen and pad and started writing as follows:
For those of us who’re seeking to make a positive impact on this world, it’s imperative we turn our trials into our triumphs, our mess into our message, our test into our testimony and our problems into our prophecy of a profound winning probability. We must choose NOT to be a victim, but to be victorious, not for our own sakes, but for the sake of those who come after us so that they may see that “it” is possible.
In the face of crisis we will not cower away and retreat to that foxhole of fear and trepidation for we know that out of crisis comes “Opportunity”. So instead, we rise, Rise and RISE again to take full advantage of our moments to shine and show that we were designed for a time such as this. We’ve already studied in advance so that we can show ourselves approved in times like these. Our mental surfboards have been waxed, polished and well-maintained to ride the countless waves of the unique opportunities in the days ahead. Yes indeed we are a strange breed better known as “resilient overcomers.” The words “no retreat, no surrender” comes to mind in troubled times for we know unequivocally that anything that’s worth-while in this life will always be realized on the other side of fear and adversity. So we press-on toward the mark of the high call of our Creator and will not waver in our faith and belief that our goals are possible and our cause is indeed noble and just.
Our victory is inevitable simply because we have made the commitment to not stop until we WIN. So my bold statement to life today is, “Bring it on”, for we will stay the course for yet one more day and welcome the challenge of the waves for we know between the crest and the crash of the waves exist the special “OPPORTUNITY” to be better today than we were yesterday. So, BRING IT ON I say!!!
What words do you choose to speak today in lieu of the crashing waves around you? I trust you will say the same. BRING IT ON !!! Let’s continue in our steadfast efforts to make this good life, GREAT!

Failing ones way to success is an extremely common practice but it’s not for the weak or faint-of-heart. So welcome the set-backs and the unexpected change of plans. View this as a marker or sign that you are entering territory where few dare to tread. Understand that it is here that you must dig deep within yourself to unearth the resilience it will take to get you through the moment. Yes, this is where the difference makers make the difference.
