I’ve been doing that “thinking” thing again lately and I’ve come up with a new “Cedricism” (As someone once called it.) and here it is: “You can’t talk a chicken into laying eggs, you just have to wait until it makes up its own mind.”

That’s right folks no matter what you say or how loud you say it, that chicken is not going to cooperate until it’s ready. Did you know that the same exist for us humans too? Yes, it’s extremely important that we realize and recognize that no matter what we do, we simply can’t change a person that’s not ready and willing to change.

There’s an old adage that says, “A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still.” which simply means coercing and forcing someone to change doesn’t really change them. All the love in this great world of ours is not enough to compel the unwilling to take a different course of positive action.

So, I encourage you NOT to waste and spend your time over the years begging and pleading for a friend or foe or loved one to change. Our time should be invested in other productive things until the change is welcomed by the one who needs it most. This is when “real change” can happen.

So until then, continue to love on that “chicken” from a safe distance until it’s ready to lay those eggs, then step in and offer your support. Besides, eggs taste so much better when they’re laid with love.

So, why did the chicken cross the road? Because his family kept telling him to change, but he wasn’t ready. LOL…

Let’s Make it GREAT!

In the scavenger hunt of life I found Genuine Joy in the twinkling eyes of my kids, True Love and companionship in a blue-eyed babe name Karen, Happiness in a spirit of giving, Joy from an internal discovery of self, Passion in creating value in the lives of others, Satisfaction in living a life that matters, Purpose in making a positive impact on our hurting humanity and Forgiveness and Acceptance in a sovereign God that loves me in spite of all my faults, flaws, fallacies and failures.

Yes my friends on my journey I was fortunate to discover all of this and more and I can honestly tell you that a scavenger hunt of this magnitude comes at a price that requires years of investment, but the payoff and reward is soooooo sweet.

My sincere hope and prayer is that you too will experience the same gratifying results on the scavenger hunt of your life as you attempt to Make it GREAT!

Good luck hunting!!!

The true measure of a man is NOT in how much wealth he can gather but in him living a life that really matters.

NOT by the size of his house but how he really treats his spouse.

NOT by the stuff that he owns but by what he does when he’s all alone.

NOT by him graduating from college but by him continuing to pursue increasing his knowledge.

And, NOT by the quality of his conversation but by his commitment to helping God’s precious creations.

Yes my friends, the true measure of a man comes ONLY by using the right yardstick. So we must not be duped into believing the hype of society’s type or believe the lie of the world’s high because answering that call could be our downfall.

Let’s keep our yardstick of measurement straight as we attempt to Make it GREAT!!!

GREAT WEEK!!!
