Take Time To Care

The challenge today is to take time, better yet, make time to care.

We get so busy sometimes that we think we are too busy to take time away to do something that should happen many times daily.

I was reminded of this with my oldest granddaughter when she was four years old or so. 

At least once every time she was around she would leave what she was doing, come find me and say “I just came to give you a hug”.

She would give me a hug, tell me she loved me and then return to the important task of playing.  In fact, she still does this three years later.  (Grandparents understand)

So what’s the lesson for us today? 

Let’s take a moment or two from the important tasks that we are doing to make sure someone knows we care.

Write a quick note of appreciation, pick up the phone for a quick call or text, or have a conversation about something other than work.

Let’s keep the main thing the main thing. People are the main thing.  Let them know they are valued and that you care.

If a four year old can do it so can we.

I’m cheering for you.

Never Too Late

Are you growing?  No, I don’t mean getting taller or in your waist size.

I mean are you growing as a person?

Are you becoming more every day?

Getting better?

Are you discovering new things that you are interested in or feel like you can do that you never thought about doing before?

Have all of your experiences up to this point prepared you for something new? 

It is never too late. 

I believe that all of our experiences have happened for a reason and are to be used to help make us better. 

Our experiences allow us to help others on their journey and guide us on our journey. 

Our experiences are our ticket to giving, serving, learning, and growing.

Don’t let yourself settle for what if when you can discover something more and what can be.

Believe.  Discover.  Do.

It is never too late.

I’m cheering for you.

Give Just 1% More


Today think about getting better by just 1%. To get where you have never been you will have to do what have never done. You will have to give at least 1% more.

At 211 degrees water is hot. At 212 degrees water is boiling. The difference is just one degree but that one degree makes all the difference.

Where do you need to give just a little bit more? Today is the day you can do just that. Nothing changes unless you do.

Give what it takes, even if it is just 1% more. Stack those type of days on top of each other and it will add up to a powerful and impactful difference.

It starts with giving just a little bit more.

I’m cheering for you.

What Could Be, Can Be!

Do you spend time dreaming about what could be? We all do don’t we?

We think about what could be and dream about something better but that’s where the majority of it stops.

If you have a dream or want something better you have to be willing to do the work, make sacrifices, and push through the obstacles that will come your way.

Your willingness to believe in what could be must be greater and bigger than your doubts.

Believe in what can be.
