Bathing Doesn't Last

Bathing Doesn’t Last

  

I took a bath yesterday.  Do I have to take another one today?  Probably a good idea, unless I want to offend a bunch of people with whom I rub elbows today.

What?  My bath didn’t even last 24 hours?  What a bummer.

Sort of like motivation.  I love what Zig Ziglar once said.

People often say that motivation

Doesn’t last. Well, neither

Does bathing.  That’s why

We recommend it daily.

When Plagued with Mediocre - Push On

When Plagued with 

Mediocre – Push On

Mediocracy sometimes run rampant in our lives.  To paraphrase what a friend of mind once said … “You are a mediocre man looking for a place to happen.”

Ouch.

Let me offer this:

Lucille Ball was told to “try another profession” early in her career.  She kept pursuing acting and comedy instead.

John F Kennedy lost his bid for president of his freshman class at Harvard.  He lost a few other posts for which he tried, but became a great US President.

Steven Spielberg's mediocre grades prevented him from getting accepted to UCLA film school.  He found success in Star Wars and a few other blockbuster movies.

Bob Dylan was booed off the stage at his high school talent show.  He took that mediocre moment and turned it into the great BOB DYLAN.

Mediocre is not a lasting ailment, unless we let it be. 

Whatever may be mediocre in your life for now can become stellar, if you want it to be.

Mediocre is a choice. 

So is high success.

Three Important Principles

Three Important Principles

Principle #1:

If you do not go after what you want, you will never have it. 

Check!

Principle #2:

If you do not ask, the answer will always be NO. 

I wonder if the adage “You have not because you ask not” is applicable here?

Check!

Principle #3:

If you do not step forward, you will always be in the same place.

This is why I like to sit up front.  Take notes.  Ask questions.  It’s the beginning of ‘fend for yourself’.

Books Should Bear a Label

Books Should Bear a Label

Books probably should be banned.  Maybe.  Perhaps.

At least label some of them.

And the label reads:

“This Could Change Your Life”

And so it is.

Has your life been changed by a book lately?

Under the Influence

Under the Influence

I’m under the influence of Barclay.  I’m

reading his commentary on Matthew.  I’m also under the influence of some other minds.  I listen to podcast of their stories.  I learn of their struggles.  They are humans too.

And I’m under the influence of CB’s love.  How it sustains me, reassures me. 

Got influences?  Make sure they are good for you.
