While talking with one of my friends a few days ago I was suddenly reminded of an undercover phenomenon that is quietly leading to the demise of our great country. He didn’t actually say it but I felt it as our conversation drifted to a topic that is starting to impact him and his family directly.

The strength of this phenomenon lies in the fact that it’s actually disguised as something “good” and the notion that we should all strive for it at almost any cost is wreaking havoc on families around the globe.

So what is this phenomenon you ask? Well, I invite you to consider that even the greatest amount of “Success” on any job can never ever bridge the gap and make up for failure and extended absence in the home.

Now here’s where I put a “period (.)” and let you chew on this thought and think about how you will become the exception and find an acceptable balance and compromise to Make it GREAT……. Or just continue on with your business as usual.

Hmmm…

(Here’s a hint: “They’re worth it…”

One of the most deceptively destructive force this side of the universe has been known to subtly lull and lure its victims into a mindset of believing everything is okay. The most susceptible victims tend to be those who have a host of credentials and/or years of service in a particular field because in many cases they’ve adopted a dangerous, old-school philosophy of “We’ve always done it this way.”

So what is this deceptively destructive force that’s subtly wrecking an untold amount of havoc on this new generation you ask? Well, it’s quite simply “Resistance to Change”. Yes that’s right friends sticking to many ways and methods of the past can be a one-way ticket to irrelevance or complete extinction. Even the animals of nature understand this concept and adapt accordingly. Hmmm…

As I casually look around in observation and interaction with many organizations the harsh truth I’ve come to realize is that some of us are in severe need of a self-inflicted intervention and re-introduction to the notion of what it means to be open to change.

I am not unmindful that this notion can be a really tough pill to swallow for some so if this proverbial “shoe” fits or applies to you or someone you know, encourage them to grab a cold glass of milk to wash this pill down. I invite you to consider the undeniable notion that new methods for a new millennium can enable us to conquer new mountains.

So don’t be afraid to embrace change because “C-H-A-N-G-E” simply means Choosing to Have A New Goal to Explore. So choose wisely and Make it GREAT!

Ever heard the phrase, “Here today and gone tomorrow.”? Well, this statement is not entirely accurate because “Here today and gone today” could be your reality. Yes my friends one day this phrase will apply to us all whether we want it to or not.

So make a point to master the moments throughout your day my friends and Make them GREAT because you never know when it’s your time to go. You could be here one day and gone….. 🙂

After having many conversations with friends, family members and foe’s over the years, I’ve observed one pretty interesting phenomenon that exist. It appears that at times trying to help someone can oftentimes be easily confused with trying to control them especially when it comes to people you share the same last name with.

For those of you who have children or relatives that are engaging in negative, destructive behavior and are in need of a little positive support and stimulation and motivation from time-to-time, be aware that nothing’s going to change until the person in question is ready to change.

Hang in there and take heart knowing that they’re just one firm, fair and consistent loving adult away from becoming another success story. So parents, be encouraged today and hang in there long enough for their willingness to change shows up. They’ll be glad you did and you will too.

Let’s keep Making it GREAT!

Was chatting with one of my group-home boys the other day while cruising around town and as we drove by the local aquatic center we saw several people swimming in the pool. He then asked, “How deep is the water there?” Before I could answer the question this thought suddenly popped into my mind and I found myself making the following statement, “You can’t swim, huh?” “Noooo… No one’s ever taught me how to swim.” he said timidly.

As a result of this casual conversation, it got me to thinking about how this represents a similar parallel in life. Those of us who have developed the confidence to overcome our challenges and adversity in life no longer ask “how did this happen” or “why me”. We just say “Let’s Get it DONE!” “Let’s Push Past the Pain!” “Come-on Let’s GOOOO!” They realize that it doesn’t matter how deep it is, what we want is on the other side of fear and adversity so let’s jump in and swim-on over.

I want to take this opportunity to encourage those who have not yet learned how to swim to find you a mentor or life coach that can teach you some techniques to build your confidence level to get you from point “A” to where you want to “B” in life so you can “C” your way past “D, F & G” and Make it GREAT!
