Inspiration: “You don’t stop exercising because you grow old; you grow old because you stop exercising.” Author Unknown
Be: (positive confession) I Am Youthful.
Do: (first steps) Today, remember you are only as old as you feel. So if you are feeling older than you ought, do something about it! If you haven’t exercised in a while be careful not to over do it and injure yourself and realize it is ok to start slow (it just means you have a greater potential for progress). Begin with a brisk 10minute walk followed by some stretching of the major muscle groups of your upper and lower body*. (Before beginning any exercise routine it is recommended that you consult with your physician to determine the potential benefits and risks.)
Have: (making dreams reality) As I get back into the swing of a regular exercise routine I swing the hands of time in my favor.
Be, Do, and Have the best day of your life! God Bless You!

Inspiration: “In this world it is not what we take up, but what we give up, that makes us rich.” Henry Ward Beecher
Be: (positive confession) I Am On The Way Up.
Do: (first steps) Today, take a hard look at the habits you have been clinging to and ask yourself is this taking me further up the ladder or dragging me deeper into the pit; then, based on your stated goals and top priorities make the conscious decision to delete those actions that bring you down. Be ready for a fight because this type of change will be met by resistance from your own flesh and from well meaning friends and relatives
Have: (making dreams reality) As long as I am willing to give up poor habits and unhealthy routines and commit to diligently doing the things that bring me closer to my goals I will go way up in any vocation or endeavor I choose.
Be, Do, and Have the best day of your life! God Bless You!

Be: (positive confession) I Am a Paragon.
Do: (first steps) Today, model the true definition of excellence that of great character and heart. Remember when all is said and done we will exit this world just as we entered it, empty handed.

Have: (making dreams reality) As I use my assets to benefit others I’ll leave a lasting legacy far more valuable than what can be measured by the world’s financial institutions.

The Thought For The Day: Diamond In The Rough
Wednesday, August 12, 2009
Inspiration: “Better be a strong man with a weak point, than to be a weak man without a strong point. A diamond with a flaw is more valuable than a brick without a flaw.” William J.H. Boetcker (author of “The Ten Cannots” often attributed to Abraham Lincoln)

Inspiration: “Better be a strong man with a weak point, than to be a weak man without a strong point. A diamond with a flaw is more valuable than a brick without a flaw.” William J.H. Boetcker (author of “The Ten Cannots” often attributed to Abraham Lincoln)
Be: (positive confession) I Am a Diamond in the Rough.
Do: (first steps) Today, understand that it takes heat and pressure to bring out the hidden beauty of a natural stone. Before being mined every diamond has undergone thousands of years of scalding heat within the Earth’s core. The Gem Smith, though, will only spend hours polishing a rock if he knows it has the potential to be highly valued. You are in a unique position as both a great jewel and a cultivator of its brilliance. The heat and pressure of your circumstances is meant to form and shape you; but you must commit to working on the flaws and weak points buffing them out through study, effort, and putting a little pressure on yourself to be the best.
Have: (making dreams reality) As I take the view that the stress I face is meant to mold me and not break me, accept responsibility for any character flaws, and choose to grind those flaws down through precise actions I’ll have the diamond of my dreams.
Be, Do, and Have the best day of your life! God Bless You!

Inspiration: “He who is afraid of asking is ashamed of learning.” Danish Proverb
Be: (positive confession) I Am a Petitioner.
Do: (first steps) Today, accept the fact that the pool of things you don’t know is much larger than the oasis of things you do know, and the ocean of the things you don’t know you don’t know is far greater still. The bottom line is: get good (and comfortable) at asking questions and don’t be ashamed of seeking help for problems you don’t know how to solve.
Have: (making dreams reality) As I become more adept at asking questions I will gain new insight through the wisdom that others have acquired along the way.

Inspiration: “What others say of me matters little, what I myself say and do matters much.” Elbert Hubbard, Editor and Publisher
Be: (positive confession) I Am The One and Only Me.
Do: (first steps) Today, put less stock in the opinions of the crowd. The “peanut gallery” has enough of their own problems to overcome to be of any help to you; so stop allowing small mindedness on the part of others continue keeping you from becoming all you are meant to be. If you are going to break away from the status quo you will need to do a few things that seem out of the ordinary and will probably be accompanied by ridicule or criticism. Willingly endure these harmless comments and stares; instead be lead by a firm conviction that you are fulfilling the purpose for which you were created.
Have: (making dreams reality) As I become less dependent on receiving the approval of others I will more likely become the best me I can be.
Be, Do, and Have the best day of your life! God Bless You!

Inspiration: “Count the garden by the flowers, never the leaves that fall. Count your life with smiles and not the tears that roll.” Author Unknown
Be: (positive confession) I Am a Gardener.
Do: (first steps) Today, cultivate smiles. You can bring joy to others by sharing a joke or a light hearted moment. You can comfort a hurting heart by providing a listening and empathetic ear. You can alleviate the effects of discouragement through an encouraging word. You can help defeat doom and gloom by pointing out the horizon that is just up ahead.
Have: (making dreams reality) As I carefully tend to the flowers in my garden I may get nicked by a few thorns but I ultimately will see dreams blossom into priceless treasures.
Be, Do, and Have the best day of your life! God Bless You!

Inspiration: “For we are his (God’s) workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:10 (KJV)
Be: (positive confession) I Am a Poem.
Do: (first steps) Today, know that you were fashioned with great care and with a specific purpose in the mind of God. The word translated as “workmanship” here comes from a Greek word pronounced Po-A-Ma, from which we get the English word poem. Think of each day of your life as a verse being added to that poem. Make each day count by fulfilling the call that you have to reflect goodness and positively impact those around you through your words and deeds.
Have: (making dreams reality) As I go about my days doing good works my life will be blessed in epic proportion.
Be, Do, and Have the best day of your life! God Bless You!
The Thought For The Day: Management Material

Be: (positive confession) I Am Management Material.
Do: (first steps) Today, work on what industry leaders call [...]

Inspiration: “The kind of people I look for to fill top management spots are the eager beavers, the mavericks. These are the guys who try to do more than they’re expected to do….they always reach.” Lee Iacocca
Be: (positive confession) I Am Management Material.
Do: (first steps) Today, work on what industry leaders call the Big 5: Self-esteem, leadership abilities, charm, integrity, and creativity. These are the attributes employers are looking for in their management candidates and despite what some experts may want to tell you, they are not all ingrained traits. In other words you can cultivate them. Like any skill, though, to be completely adroit at them requires practice and consistent use. So start small building up your confidence by little successes in each area and treating missteps as opportunities to improve the next time.
Have: (making dreams reality) As I consistently train in the areas of the Big 5 I’ll have the internal materials necessary to manage myself and others.
Be, Do, and Have the best day of your life! God Bless You!

Inspiration: “If you want to stand out don’t be different be outstanding.” Meredith West
Be: (positive confession) I Am a Stand Out.
Do: (first steps) Today, don’t be different for the sake of being different. Instead perfect your craft in such a way that your excellence and attention to detail cause you to shine brighter and longer than others in your field of endeavor. Learn as much as you can about what it is that you are doing or want to accomplish. Being the best will likely entail some or all of the following: reading books, listening to CD’s, taking a course of study, and engaging a mentor who has already achieved success at what you want to excel at.
Have: (making dreams reality) As I apply myself completely toward the goal of surpassing the average I will stand out from the crowd and stand before kings.
Be, Do, and Have the best day of your life! God Bless You!
