What Are You Made to Do

 The title poses a ponderable question.  And when we figure that one out – magic happens.  Focus happens.  Dreams start to become reality. 


This is the shortest lesson you'll ever read – and one of the more important ones.

Happy Trails, buckaroo!

Intention

 ~I intend to be rich.
~I intended to be the world’s greatest 
  drummer.
~I intend to write the blog heard ‘round the world.

We are full of intentions I think. 


Ever heard of a surgeon who accidentally did surgery on someone?  Me neither.  Surgeons do things with intention – on purpose.

Of my many musician friends, they all understand that to get to the pro level they don’t practice only when they feel in the mood.  At some point in their career, they choose to go pro.  It becomes an intentional act. 

I intended to be a writer ten years ago, but nobody ever came up to me and said, ‘why don’t you write’?  I had to start that dance with great intention.  And it has stuck.

Today is a new and clean slate on which to write.

What will we do on purpose – with intention?

A Difference Maker

This morning I want to talk about being a difference maker in our world.  My immediate thoughts turn to the Bill Gates Foundation.  They do an immense amount of work in this world for good in other lands by providing safe drinking water, medical treatments and a vast number of other projects that are changing lives for the good of humanity.  The bottom line … they are making a difference.

I am humbled by a comment from one of my readers … “You are making a difference.”

My life’s aim is to offer words of hope, encouragement and inspiration one word at a time.

As I pass through this world, let it be said of me … He made a difference.
