Inspiration: “A parasite wants what you’ve earned, a protégé wants what you have learned.” Rev. John Antonucci
Be: (positive confession) I Am a Protege.
Do: (first steps) Today, seek the wisdom of those who have a track record of excellence, realizing that no one can be a success for you, you have to earn that yourself. Model yourself after their pattern of discipline and resist the tendency to expect more from them than they are able to give (mentors have personal responsibilities as well). When you ask them for advice in an area of their expertise, be quick to follow it for if you do they will gladly share more of what they have learned from the school of hard knocks so that you can benefit from both their past failures and breakthroughs (if you don’t they may simply want to knock you upside your head).
Have: (making dreams reality) As I apply myself to the way of the protégé and learn from the best I’ll speed up my path to success.
Be, Do, and Have the best day of your life! God Bless You!

Inspiration: “Using the power of decision gives you the capacity to get past any excuse to change any and every part of your life in an instant.” Anthony Robbins
Be: (positive confession) I Am Empowered.
Do: (first steps) Today, don’t make another excuse for why you are not moving in the direction your life is supposed to be headed. The external conditions will never be perfect for me to succeed, but every outside circumstance is subject to the internal environment I create through the choices I make and the actions I take.
Have: (making dreams reality) As I decide to dismiss the forces that stand against me as inconsequential compared to the environment I allow to flourish I have the power to prosper.

Inspiration: “Aim for the sky and you’ll reach the ceiling. Aim for the ceiling and you’ll stay on the floor.” Bill Shankley (Scottish Soccer Player and Coach)
Be: (positive confession) I Am a Lid Lifter.
Do: (first steps) Today, commit yourself to setting lofty goals and remove the built in lids to your advancement. Your background, color, family, present resources, lack of experience, youthfulness or seniority can be hindrances if you let them, so decide not to let them. Spend your energy not in focusing on the lids in you life, but in doing something about them.
Have: (making dreams reality) As I shoot for the sky I will reach the ceiling, and fortunately I get to choose whether that ceiling is the standard eight foot variety or more like a Cathedral (ceiling) .
Be, Do, and Have the best day of your life! God Bless You!

Be: (positive confession) I Am Fully Present.
Do: (first steps) Today, whether you are seated across the table from your most important client, your spouse, one of your children, or even your mother-in-law set your attention 100% on them. Do the same with the projects you have been entrusted to complete. When you feel your mind begin to wander, thinking about what you have to do later, pull it back to the present – using the force of your will if necessary.
Have: (making dreams reality) As I resolve to be completely involved in each moment I will waste less time, have more complete information at my disposal, and have a deeper realization of my own potential for growth.

Inspiration: “We turn to God for help when our foundations are shaking, only to learn that it is God who is shaking them.” Charles West
Be: (positive confession) I Am Planet Shaker.
Do: (first steps) Today, don’t get comfortable. Comfort is often accompanied by apathy or laziness and no man or woman will ever live up to their full potential in that state. If you are feeling some out of the ordinary stress it may be that you are being pushed out of the nest. So…start flapping and allow the shaking taking place in you touch others.
Have: (making dreams reality) As I flow with the changes in my life and allow them to stretch me I have the ability to improve the world around me by causing a ripple effect of positive change.
Be, Do, and Have the best day of your life! God Bless You!
Thought For The Day: Resilient
Friday, February 20, 2009
Inspiration: “People who soar are those who refuse to sit back, sigh and wish things would change. They neither complain of their lot nor passively dream of some distant ship coming in. Rather, they visualize in their minds that they are not quitters; they will not allow life’s circumstances to push them down [...]

Inspiration: “People who soar are those who refuse to sit back, sigh and wish things would change. They neither complain of their lot nor passively dream of some distant ship coming in. Rather, they visualize in their minds that they are not quitters; they will not allow life’s circumstances to push them down and hold them under.” Charles Swindoll
Be: (positive confession) I Am Resilient.
Do: (first steps) Today, teach your children and those under your guidance the attribute of resilience. A prominent insurance company has the slogan “Life comes at you hard”, understand that while this is a true statement the truth is I have the power to rise above every challenge that comes my way if I faint not.
Have: (making dreams reality) As I dedicate myself to a life of resilience the things that happen to me won’t bust me up; they will only serve to break me down to the expose the elements essential to my success so that I can be built up and readied to receive the blessings that God has reserved for me.
Be, Do, and Have the best day of your life! God Bless You!
Thought For The Day: Well Hydrated
Thursday, February 19, 2009
Inspiration : “The researchers estimate that over the course of a year, a person who increases his water consumption by 1.5 liters a day would burn an extra 17,400 calories, for a weight loss of approximately five pounds…… 40% of which is related directly to heating the ingested water.” Michael Boschmann, MD, [...]

Inspiration : “The researchers estimate that over the course of a year, a person who increases his water consumption by 1.5 liters a day would burn an extra 17,400 calories, for a weight loss of approximately five pounds…… 40% of which is related directly to heating the ingested water.” Michael Boschmann, MD, and colleagues from Franz-Volhard Clinical Research Center (Berlin, Germany)
Be: (positive confession) I Am Well Hydrated.
Do: (first steps) Today (and everyday) drink half your body weight in ounces of water (example: if you weigh 200 pounds drink 100 ounces). At the first sign of hunger drink some water before stuffing your face with a meal (studies show that our brain can confuse thirst for hunger).
Have: (making dreams reality) As I properly hydrate I will have the feeling of being full without eating as much. In my efforts to maintain or develop a healthy body composition this will give me a leg up on the biggest enemy: Unwanted Cravings. In addition to that increased water consumption has also been shown to combat fatigue and depression.
Be, Do, and Have the best day of your life! God Bless You!

Inspiration: “You cannot tailor-make the situations in life, but you can tailor-make the attitudes to fit those situations” Zig Ziglar
Be: (positive confession) I Am Tailor-made.
Do: (first steps) Today, is another day to work on the perfectly designed ME. When presented with an obstacle that you have faced before and stumbled trying to cross take a different approach. This time hit it head on with a positive attitude, an “I can” mind set, and stick with that tactic until you get the victory. Know that while there are challenges the rewards for overcoming those challenges are great.
Have: (making dreams reality) As I tailor-make my thoughts and will to triumph over the situations life has in store for me I will not be denied in my efforts to enjoy the fruits that life has to offer.
Be, Do, and Have the best day of your life! God Bless You!
Thought For The Day: Supercharged
Tuesday, February 17, 2009
Inspiration : “You only lose energy when life becomes dull in your mind. Your mind gets bored and therefore tired of doing nothing. Get interested in something! Get absolutely enthralled in something! Get out of yourself! Be somebody! Do something. The more you lose yourself in something bigger than yourself, the more energy [...]

Inspiration : “You only lose energy when life becomes dull in your mind. Your mind gets bored and therefore tired of doing nothing. Get interested in something! Get absolutely enthralled in something! Get out of yourself! Be somebody! Do something. The more you lose yourself in something bigger than yourself, the more energy you will have.” Norman Vincent Peale
Be: (positive confession) I Am Supercharged.
Do: (first steps) Today, stop waiting for the right moment and get involved in something bigger than you. There are opportunities galore to change the world in which you live. Habitat for Humanity, Big Brothers and Sisters, local food banks, and any of a number of local churches (just to name a few) need you to touch and improve the lives of more people.
Have: (making dreams reality) As I use the energy in me right now to further a valid cause I become like a dynamo and experience a supercharging that gives me even more vitality.
Be, Do, and Have the best day of your life! God Bless You!
Thought For The Day: Tide Turner
Monday, February 16, 2009
Inspiration: “The gratitude of every home in our Island, in our Empire, and indeed throughout the world, except in the abodes of the guilty, goes out to the British airmen who, undaunted by odds, unwearied in their constant challenge and mortal danger, are turning the tide of the World War by their [...]

Inspiration: “The gratitude of every home in our Island, in our Empire, and indeed throughout the world, except in the abodes of the guilty, goes out to the British airmen who, undaunted by odds, unwearied in their constant challenge and mortal danger, are turning the tide of the World War by their prowess and by their devotion. Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.” Winston Churchill
Be: (positive confession) I Am Tide Turner.
Do: (first steps) Today, make some waves; and I don’t mean the ripples of a malcontent. The two primary characteristics of a wave are Frequency (how close together) and Amplitude (relates to size). Similarly, through consistent discipline and through periods of supreme effort you can stem the tide of negative outcomes and cause good to flood your life and the lives of those nearest to you; as well as those you’ve never met.
Have: (making dreams reality) As I devote myself to the cause of justice, righteousness, and freedom I like the British airmen command the gratitude and respect accorded of great men and women.
Be, Do, and Have the best day of your life! God Bless You!
