One of the greatest tools that I possess is the desire to KEEP GOING.  I am a life long learner and I love information, so I have learned the race is won by the one who endures.  Not the one who thought it was a good ideal, the race was won by the one who kept taking action.  I know many people who start something that they never finish.  I know many people who lose their belief in something.  I know many people who don’t put effort into obtaining their dreams.  I challenge you today, if you know what you are doing is the right path for you, all you have to do is KEEP GOING.

After traveling for the past 4 days, I realized that the workings of the plane.  When the plane gets ready to take off, it starts really slow, then when everything is cleared for take off, it begins to run toward the sky to leap into the sky.  WOW what a beautiful metaphor for our lives, many times we are really not going very fast in life, but if you are working on your goal just continue to do the ground work and lay the foundation.  Then when it is TIME we begin to see things coming together, that’s when we have been cleared for the take off.  After working for a while, we leap into the air the realization that we are meeting our dreams.  My take away for you today is keep running for the Take Off.

In less than 8 hours, I will be on a plane going to a retreat for my business.  I am super excited to relax and rekindle my thoughts.  I have even decided to stay an extra day to get much needed rest.  How often to do leave your city and get away to retreat??  Do you take time to relax??  Do you have time to rekindle your mind, body and spirit??  If you have waited as long as I have, decide today you will plan something.  Do it now, don’t wait until later.  I will take with you on Tuesday.

Do you give and accept appreciation??  One of the best things you can do in life is show your appreciation to others.  Many times people say, I don’t have money to give anything.  I challenge you to give a hug, give kind words, give a prayer, write a note of thanksgiving or just say thank you.  I was recently challenged with a young boy scout while going to Kroger, when I walked in the boy scout gave a wonderful pitch about the fundraiser and what would be accomplished by purchasing the card he had.  I did my shopping and when I came out of the store, I purchased 2 cards from him. He never said thank you, boy did my heart sink.  WOW teach your children that everything given to them is a gift and they should be thankful.  Be show APPRECIATION.

WOW when I think of seasons that change, I think about how our life should change as well.  Not only show we grow and learn, but we should also let things die away.  We should rid ourselves of the things that do not serve us.  Do you know what season you are currently in.  If I had to guess, many times we think we live in the winter months, when things are not producing fruit.  I venture to say that during this time in our life, we should buckle down and plan.  We should buckle down and learn.  We should buckle down and make a detailed plan.  No matter how bad the winter is, spring is coming so get ready to grow and produce.  Seasons change and so should you.

If you are honest with yourself, many people have to admit you are LAZY.  I have realized that I have spent many years doing what is easy and not really what would stretch me to do better.  I spent time in the room called comfort.  Now looking back, I could have developed so many program and good things to help my company go to another level.  When you know better, you should do better.  Now I know everyday is an opportunity to change my life.  Everyday is an opportunity to do something great.  Everyday is an opportunity to plan something for the future.  Everyday I can learn something new.  With those goals and the decision to move ahead, I WILL NOT BE LAZY ANYMORE, How About You???
