There are many ways of going forward, but only one way of standing still. Franklin D. Roosevelt
Good reminder on a Monday morning.
Keep moving forward.
Don’t wait for the perfect plan or the perfect time.
There are many ways to get where you want to go, pick one and get going.
Make it a great day.

Think of your fellow man
Lend him a helping hand
Put a little love in your heart
You see it’s getting late
Oh, please don’t hesitate
Put a little love in your heart
And the world will be a better place [x2]
For you and me
You just wait and see
Sure seems worth trying to me.
Make it a great day.

Gus: Phil? Like the groundhog Phil? Phil: Yeah, like the groundhog Phil. Gus: Look out for your shadow there, buddy.
Had to share this quote and email from last year on Groundhog Day.
The movie is funny, but it’s also a favorite because it goes a little deeper than that.
A guy lives the same day over and over again.
He tries all kinds of different things to figure out things (life).
He tries the hedonistic, do what you want all day long life and ends up empty.
He tries manipulating others to get what he wants and ends up empty.
He gives up and spends the day depressed and without hope.
He finally tries love, service, humility and authenticity. And it works.
Maybe we can take a short cut. We don’t have an unlimited number of days like Phil does in the movie, so let’s not waste any on the stuff that doesn’t work. Let’s skip to the good stuff.
Make it a great day.

One month down already in 2017. Time for honest reflection on how you are doing.
Sit down with your accountability partner and take an honest look at how it’s going.
Be brutally honest.
Face the facts.
Grit your teeth and bare down and get to work if you haven’t made any progress.
Celebrate the wins if you’ve had them.
Resolve to make February an even better month.
Make it a great day.

I stumbled across this article and was reminded of how good How to Win Friends and Influence People is.
Short version of the article – man turns possible frustrating service experience into positive one.
Sales pitch – read this book.
If you haven’t ever read it, pick it up by the end of the week and sit down and read it.
It will make an exceptional difference in your life.
Make it a great day.

"The right time is any time that one is still so lucky as to have." – Henry James
This is a great reminder on a Monday.
Been waiting on the right time to get started on something?
Been waiting on the right time to stop doing something?
Been waiting on the right time to have a difficult conversation?
The right time is whatever time you are lucky enough to have. It’s that simple. Get started.
Make it a great day.

EB – For everyone who asks receives, and the one seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. – Matthew 7:8
JD – Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for a kindness. Lucius Annaeus Seneca
MS – And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28
JW – Call me Harry. – Zachary Warmbir
I really like the idea of the quote from Seneca.
The opportunities for kindness abound.
If we look at those around us an opportunity for kindness, we will find that every person we meet is in need of some kindness.
Look today for opportunities for kindness.
I’m sure you will find them.
Make it a great day.

Not exactly a toe tapper this morning.
Maybe a good opportunity to start the day off in quiet thought.
There are so many ordinary miracles in our lives, they are easy to miss.
Take the few minutes this song is playing to think of a few in your life.
Make it a great day.

Joys divided are increased. – Josiah Gilbert Holland
Short and sweet today.
A simple reminder to seek and share joy with those around you.
It’s out there.
Make it a great day.
