It just darned on me this morning that Plants and Trees can only grow so tall if you keep them in a box or pot.  So too are human beings.  Staying in a box places limitations on what we can do, where we can go, who we can become and how high we can grow. 

It is my sincere hope and dream that one day “In-the-box thinking” will become slightly taboo and that our youth will be encouraged to come up with new and improved, different ways of getting things done.  I hope that letting their creative juices flow and using their intellect, ingenuity and knowledge to eradicate, innovate and appropriate will become  more and more common-place. 

The good news is that this mental shift in thinking starts at home, so we do have some creative control in planting the seed of “out-of-the-box” thinking.  A “boxed mentality” not only limits their growth, but it also limits our growth too for the future.  Of course, not everyone will follow this path, but at least we can advise them of the choice.

Yes, our future depends on those young, bright eyes staring back at us daily.  They need us now more than ever to stimulate them and focus them and encourage their individuality in a positive direction.

So, let’s not let them down today, not this generation.  Let’s get out of that box and Make it GREAT!

“If my life is a statement, what does it say to you?”  This was the question of the day at church.

My pastor and good friend, Kent Pedersen, suggested it’s a good idea to check the pulse of your perceived public profile every now-and-then just to make sure your life is projecting the right message you intend it to.  Naturally this got me to thinking, so I made a note-to-self that I would be sure to pose this question to the community in which I serve daily. 

So here goes…  “If  my lifeworks were a statement or billboard, what would it say to you?”  I’d love to hear your thoughts in my inbox or comment here. Thanks in advance for helping me to get better. 

In the days ahead you may want to consider checking your pulse too, it definitely can’t hurt to know how you’re being received and perceived.  Let’s make it GREAT!

“In due time” is the reward for those who embody and possess the rare ability to stay focused and disciplined through the various processes of life’s challenges and changes.  Those who are capable of continuing to see clearly their goal and staying the course in spite of the occasional fog of finances, fear and frustration will fair well in their favorable future.

The fearless few who are able to function consistently at a high level in the absence of a task master will eventually reap the rewards and experiences shared only by a distinguished minority.  So the question today is, “Do you see yourself as part of this group?”  Do you feel you can be counted on when others are being counted out?  Do you feel you have what it takes to make it GREAT?  Hmmm…

Being exceptional is simple but it’s not easy.  The steps to subduing this life in the days ahead and bending it to your will and making it GREAT is simple but the process is not easy.  Are you willing to travel where few are willing to tread?  Are you willing to do at least one thing different today that will set you on the course to positively changing your tomorrow?  Hmmm…

My favorite book says that we are to be content with what we have and to keep our lives free from the love of what I call the M&M’s of life (Money & Material) things.  So I invite you to join me today in continuing to be content with what we have but resolve to never be satisfied with what we’ve done.  No matter what hill we’ve climbed, distance we’ve run or great thing we’ve done we can always better our best.

I’ve learned that satisfaction and comfort are one-way streets that both lead you to a life of mediocrity and we were all intended to be and do so much more.  So I encourage you to move forward today content and grateful for what you have but not satisfied with what you’ve done.  Push to do more, be more, serve more and see more and you will soon find that you will have more.

Yes my friends the secret is out.  This breadcrumb of wisdom can definitely lead you to making it GREAT!
