“Be Contagious”

May 19, 2023

Marietta, GA – Be contagious today

1. Share a smile with a stranger

2. Encourage a colleague 

3. Apologize for a mistake 

Friend, take the initiative today and draw people to the good inside of you. You always have a choice to do good will.

Thanks everyone for the kind birthday wishes! Today’s post was inspired by the poison oak I picked up at my property last week. If you were to become “contagious ” would you want to expose others to the good within you?

Wisdom given to a younger you

May 11, 2023

Kennesaw, GA – If you could go back and talk to yourself when you were a teenager, what would you say to yourself? Would you change some things in your life?  

We learn from our experiences, and grow from the relationships that are shared with others. Love yourself and share your love with others. Be a good example.

Send me a note. It would be great to hear from you.

A man is the author of his own life

May 5, 2023

Kennesaw, GA – A man is the author of his own life. -Anon

One of the blessings of being an American citizen is the concept of self determination guaranteed in our Constitution. Our founders felt that the freedom to pursue personal liberty is a right given from God and confirmed in our American citizenship.  

For those of us blessed to be born in America, don’t let this right be squandered. Be the author of your life. Pursue your happiness and share it with others. Be a net contributor to the grand American experiment and not just a consumer of the blessings we have been given.

To your happiness!

More than dreamers

March 27, 2023

More than dreamers!

This is an amazing quote. I love it!

“All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake up in the day to find it was vanity, but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible.” ― T.E. Lawrence, Seven Pillars of Wisdom: A Triumph.

Everybody dreams. All have dreams and more dreams. But not everyone takes action. The reality is that most people do not do anything. They are just dreaming and dreaming.

We have to be more than dreamers. The action is the key. 

Just do it!

Make it happen!

Make it possible!

Let’s go to be “The dreamers of the day”.

Let’s go to be the ones who dream with our eyes wide open and then go and pursue it and make it happen.

Let’s go to be more than dreamers.

Service attitude beyond words

March 26, 2023

Only if you want to be a highly successful person and a high performer then you need to start each day by asking yourself this powerful question.

What is required to be of service here, and how can I grow into that or lead others to deliver that?

High performers are happy, admired, and adaptive servant leaders.

Friend, let’s go to service and help now. The world is waiting for you.

Take a gasp break

Take a gasp break!

“There is virtue in work and there is virtue in rest. Use both and overlook neither.” – Alan Cohen

You are strong!

“You never know how strong you are until being strong is your only choice.” – Bob Marley

Sometimes we face time very hard, I know that. But you are stronger than you think. God is always with you!

Today you need to be strong one more time.

Live your life

March 23, 2023

Live your life!

“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.“ – Albert Einstein.

Focus on all miracles in your life. Could you see them?

My life is a miracle. Thanks to the Lord!

You and I need to live life as if everything is a miracle!

Life is a miracle, live your life.

Love more, Less judge

March 22, 2023

I love this quote!

“When you understand that every opinion is a vision loaded with personal history, you will begin to understand that all judgment is a confession.” – Nikola Tesla.

Stop living in fear of judgment. And stop judging someone else.

Be kind!
