Thank Goodness It’s Thursday…10/31/13

Thank Goodness It’s Thursday! Like him (or not), you have to be impressed with David Ortiz of the Boston Red Sox.  He was named MVP of the World Series last night after posting these amazing stats: 11-for-16 (.688) with a 1.948 OPS, two home runs, six RBIs and 8 walks (including 3 intentional walks last […]

Thank Goodness It’s Wednesday….10/30/13

Thank Goodness It’s Wednesday! Yesterday we talked about not settling for ordinary when all of us have something extraordinary in us.  We need to get out and try something bigger than us in order to stretch ourselves and full live life.  I believe one of the things that stops us is that we often don’t […]

Thank Goodness It’s Tuesday…10/29/13

Thank Goodness It’s Tuesday! I have often wondered why so many people settle for ordinary when they could be extraordinary.  I mean, I look around at people where I work, in my community, among my kids friends and really everywhere and see people who are so satisfied with the status quo.  Now, understand I am […]

Thank Goodness It’s Monday….10/28/13

Thank Goodness It’s Monday! We all have probably heard something along the line of, “It’s the boy scout motto….Be Prepared.” Whether is was our father trying to teach us something, or someone using that as a one liner when they were getting ready for a task, the statement has become ingrained in our society.  And […]

Thank Goodness It’s Friday..10/25/13

Thank Goodness it’s Friday!! Boarding a plane this morning so I will just leave you with this….Norman Vincent Peale has said, “Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.” If never before, then now. Believe in yourself and be […]

Thank Goodness It’s Thursday…10/24/13

Thank Goodness It’s Thursday! First…happy birthday to my eldest son! And then quickly this morning, I hope he always remembers it’s never too late to follow your dream. Don’t let your current circumstances, your fear or your doubt stop you. Never let anyone tell you that you can’t do something. Dedicate yourself to it and […]

Thank Goodness It’s Wednesday…10/23/13

Thank Goodness It’s Wednesday! What have you been told that is holding you back? Or are you afraid to do anything for fear of hearing one of these statements? As this video shows, quite often, failure is the best thing that can happen to you. Are you living? Be great today…. do something you know […]

Thank Goodness It’s Tuesday…10/22/13

Thank Goodness It’s Tuesday! In honor of Apple releasing the new iPad today, I thought it would be appropriate to share this short speech by Steve Jobs. Now, I am not meaning to start the day on a sad note or not looking to be morbid in my outlook, but really, what an amazing thing […]

Thank Goodness It’s Monday….10/21/13

Thank Goodness It’s Monday! If you are a college football fan like me, what a weekend!  There were more upsets this weekend than I can ever remember seeing.  And what great games they were.  Especially in the SEC, where historically bad teams took down the top teams in the conference in what seemed like one […]

Thank Goodness It’s Friday….10/18/13

Thank Goodness It’s Friday! I recently quoted John Wooden when he spoke about giving 100% today because you can’t give the extra tomorrow. He was speaking about effort and giving all you have everyday. Some people think that they will take it a little easy today and make up the difference tomorrow. Wooden was stating […]
