Friends around the globe, the nuggets are back. Thank you so
much for all your birthday wishes. Costa Rica was great. Dre and I had a
wonderful vacation there. No phone or emails for one week by choice (tempting
for a sanguine/choleric!). I got tons of photos and nuggets. You will see them
in the next few weeks.
When the going gets tough, the tough gets going!
1)
Don’t give in. Never, ever surrender to mediocrity. Be on a quest to fight a good fight. Live up to your
duties if you want to live to see your finest hour.
2)
Learn how to deal with fear, danger, and conflict. Yes, you have to be crazy to defeat the enemy, the
enemy of being average.
3)
Overcome doubt, keep moving on. If you feel you are going
through hell, keep going. You can be a
warrior or a wimp, not both. Are your desires greater than the objections you
are facing?
4)
Fight bravely; put everything on the line, your
reputation, your human dignity. Are you
willing to die so others can live?
5)
Be grateful for the troubles in your life. Seek out bigger and bigger challenges. Problem solvers
are the ones that get rewarded. Deal with the challenges.
6)
Be bold; take a stand so others can be better for the
experience. Do the things that scare you
to do. Do the right things regardless of pain, fear, and even ridicule.
7)
Listen to the call to do something great. Learn from those that have lived lives of adventure and
be inspired by their stories.
Be blessed and be a blessing to others!
