Jeremiah 33:3

"Call to Me and I will answer you and tell you
great and unsearchable things you do not know......"

An Important Question.....

Anthony Robbins always asks an important question at his seminars:

"If you knew you could not fail, what would you do?"

What would you try?

What would you launch??

What would you start???

WHAT'S STOPPING YOU ?

Is it Y O U ????

Do Not Let What You Cannot Do.......

John Wooden is one of my heroes.
He was the basketball coach at UCLA who
won 10 National championships and had 4
undefeated seasons. He always stressed
excellence in all matters and living up to
your potential. He once told his players
"Do not let what you cannot do interfere
with what you can do."

What great advice for the times we're living in.
Don't forget......
You CAN'T control what happens........
....but you CAN control your attitude.

You CAN'T control the actions of others.......
.....but you CAN control yours.

Focus on the things you CAN do some
thing about today !
And.....get out there and
make a difference !!

They called him "POP"

Today is Father's Day 2009.
It has sent me into deep thought.
My dad's name was Walter Speight. He died
in the late 80's. Sadly, he died from complications
from his addictions. In his last years he was known
as "POP." When he wasn't "using" he was a
pretty cool man. Gentle spirited....warm......and
actually pretty loving. He taught me some good....and
a pretty good bit of bad. Today as I think of him, I am
sad as well as convicted.

Sad....because he lived in the death-grip of addiction.
Convicted because I want to break that chain forever.

To all those men who were father figures to me..
Buck......Lytle......Joe.
Thanks.

To those of you who know me as Dad or a Father figure.......
Jill.....Wes.....Ash....
Gretch......Moose......Bear Bear.......

I Love you.

And........
Thanks for loving me !

The Think Big Manifesto

The Think Big Manifesto is a great book written by Michael Port.
The book deals with the incredible world-changing effect of BIG
thinking. (As well as the killer-effect of small thinking.)
Here is an exerpt:

"As a founding principle, the Think Big Revolution requires the formation and augmentation of intellectual and spiritual capital. The condition for intellectual capital is big thoughts. The condition for spiritual capital is love. The future of big thinking rests exclusively on the combination of both. The advancement of and growth of intellectual capital through study and learning in action with others, will replace the isolation of small thinking. This revolutionary combination will cut from under its feet the very foundation on which the old school small thoughts were generated and propagated. In place of small thoughts and small thinking, we will have big thoughts and big thinking, fully self-expressed, self-actualized, collaborative contributors to society, who know no limitations and no limits. After all, that’s what love is, too."

Anger.

Fussing.

A Single Footstep Will Not..........

Henry David Thoreau said it:

"As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a

single thought will not make a single pathway in the mind.

To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To

make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the

kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives."

So......

Negative ?

CNN news all day??

Soap operas ???

What are you filling your MIND with ??

New Path Anyone ? ? ? ?

My Friend Dana....

He wouldn't want me to tell you this.......
But.....Dana Davis is one of my heroes. I have never seen a person
face the "C" word and defeat it time and time again like
he has. (C=cancer) I also haven't ever seen anyone with
a more positive attitude. (Move over Zig Ziglar!) Dana is facing
another series of difficult procedures in the next few weeks. I don't
see how I could get through such procedures. But he does it.
With style
...and grace.
Here is part of an article he just wrote as he prepares for the next round of treatments:

"For in Christ I have everything I need to go through the valley of the shadow of death. He removes the fear; he gives the peace that passes all understanding; he gives the strength for the day; and he even gives joy in the journey. And beyond the blessings I receive, there is the grand promise that God produces lasting fruit in those that abide in the Son. Pretty amazing...

People have gone though difficult times lately. Some forecasters say things are getting better and there is reason to hope. These forecasts usually pertain little to what God is doing. He does not fret when economies crumble or wars break out or oceans roar. In fact, he tells us to expect everything to shake until only the unshakable remains. The 'unshakable' things can only be found in Christ – the goal of the journey."

"Be very careful, then, how you live - not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing." John 15:4-5

We love you Dana !!

"I am an Accomplished........

......Failure."
She said it in my office yesterday. It was in response to the question.......
"What have you accomplished in your life so far?" Actually I disagree with her.
You see , I think that NO ONE IS A FAILURE !
You may have failed.....but you are NOT a failure !
Thomas Edison failed the first 10,000 times he tried to invent the light bulb.
Abraham Lincoln suffered political loss after loss after loss before he became President of the United States.
Were these 2 men failures ? NO !
On your way to success, you will suffer failures.
Keep going!
Never ever give up !
Success is within your grasp.....but you must keep your spirits high and your attitude positive.
And......keep taking the next step. You're closer than you think !!

From 250 to 5 Million !

Pastor Will Bowen of Christ church Unity in Kansas City knows the power of getting people to change the way they think. He created a purple bracelet and gave all the 250 members at his church one. He knew that it took 21 days to break a habit, so he told the people to wear the bracelet on their wrist and change wrists when the found themselves complaining. His purpose was to get people thinking positive thoughts instead of complaining or griping. In 21 days of not shifting the bracelet the complaining would be stopped and new habits formed.

In nine months, the Complaint Free World Project was launched and the number of bracelets went from 250 to FIVE ( 5 ) Million !! Pastor Will gets letters each day from people telling him what an impact the project has had.

What about you?
Do you need a bracelet ??

Desires......

"If I find in myself desires which nothing in this world can satisfy,
the only logical explanation is that I was made for another world."
---C.S. Lewis

What are your NEEDS today?

What are your WANTS today??

Do you really NEED your WANTS??
Are any of your WANTS causing you anxiety, conflict, or envy ?

"Choose rather to want less, than to have more."
--Thomas a Kempis

Do You Have Anything That Needs Mending?

There's a famous old story that tells of a Rabbi who was deeply depressed and fatigued.
Yom Kippur, the day of atonement was approaching. The sad Rabbi was standing at the front door of his house when a cobbler came by and shouted, "Do you have anything that needs mending ?"
It was like the voice of God.
The Rabbi immediately realized what needed mending.
Himself.

So......what about you ?

"The Lord is Close to the Brokenhearted....."
Psalm 34:18

An Easy Surge of Energy !
A Psychologist named Henry Goddard has done a study on the energy levels of children using an instrument called an "ergograph." He discovered that when a tired child was given a word of encouragement or praise, the ergograph showed a sudden surge of energy in that child. When they were discouraged or criticized, the graph showed their energy took a nosedive.
You may have already discovered this.
Without a graph.

Why not give out some words today ?
Positive ones.
Encouraging ones.
Make a Difference !!
