Daily Grind - Glance Back but Move Forward! 12/31/2012


Daily Grind – Glance Back but Move Forward! 12/31/2012

With the start of the last day of this year, let’s take a minute to reflect over our lives and think about all the trials we have successfully overcome. It is time that we make those past triumphs stepping stones for our brand new year. I challenge you today to glance back but move forward in your life. The past is the past and it is up to us to stop living in it. We should, however, take a look back to access how we can be better. It is vital that we plan for a brighter future by minimizing our mistakes and then exploring and capitalizing on our strengths. Happy New Year and Be Great!

Let It All Hang Out!


Daily Grind – Let It All Hang Out! 12/21/2012

With the fresh start of this new day and another opportunity on life, it is time that we place all of our cards on the table. Let’s put forth the effort and exhaust every ounce of energy into doing our best. We can no longer be concerned about the outcome because with our determination, we will prevail! I challenge you today to let it all hang out. There is no need to hold back any longer, waiting for the right moment to unveil our greatness. Let this be our defining moment, when others are amazed by our positive, productive and progressive way of life. Today we should not leave anything to chance and allow all of our actions to be straightforward and meaningful. We must stay focused on the ultimate goal and use everything that we are made of to show the world that we are GREAT!

Act Like a Champion!


Daily Grind – Act Like a Champion!  12/20/2012

With the start of this brand new day, we should set our thoughts to believe that regardless of the circumstances, we will be victorious. Our mindsets have to be focused on winning every single day. We cannot afford to waste our thoughts on doubts and uncertainties. Our determination must drive us to success. I challenge you today to act like a champion by putting in the effort to be the best at what you do. When we take on the characteristics of champions, failure is no longer an option, so all our excuses are null and void. Champions always find a way to get over the hump. So today, let’s stand up and act like a champion by finding a way to defeat our inner battles. It starts by being Great!

Celebrate Your Uniqueness!


Daily Grind – Celebrate Your Uniqueness!  12/19/2012

At the beginning of this day, let’s take the time to enjoy our individuality. In order to do that, we must first accept the fact that it is ok to be different. I challenge you today to take ownership and celebrate your uniqueness. Stop trying to follow or imitate others. Instead, walk confidently to the beat of your own drum with. Be reminded that once you celebrate your uniqueness, your true beauty begins to show. Why spend your life trying to be someone else, when the FATHER created YOU perfectly?  Be encouraged and know that what makes you stand out is what makes you Great. Celebrate your uniqueness and Be Great!

Put Some Pep In Your Step!


Daily Grind – Put Some Pep in Your Step!  12/18/2012

At the beginning of this great day, let’s move with a purpose. Today, we must pick up our pace and move with a zest that invites opportunity. I challenge you today to put some pep in your step in everything that you do. Once we decide to increase our intensity of life, we align ourselves for a breakthrough. The day of being dormant is over. We set the tone for our lives and must decide to live with a vigor that sets us apart from the rest. The coach will never put you in the game if you continue to sit on the bench looking uninterested. Get up, put on your gear, jump around and shout if you must, but put some pep in your step and Be Great!

Putting Things in Perspective!


Daily Grind – Putting Things in Perspective!  12/17/2012

In light of last week’s tragedies, it is time that we look to our Heavenly Father for answers. We must remember that we are all bound by the human spirit, but it’s the Holy Spirit that matters most. Without a doubt, we are all brokenhearted over the loss of innocent lives, but we should be reminded that HE will keep us in perfect peace, if we keep our minds stayed on HIM.  I challenge you today to put things in perspective. Ask yourself, “What’s really important?” and begin to focus on that. When we channel our thoughts on the people and the things that truly matter, the other obstacles in life just don’t seem as significant. It is time that we put away attitudes, envy and thoughts of negativity and remember those that are suffering during this holiday season.  Focus on our Heavenly Father, change your perspective and BE GREAT!

Always Represent!


Daily Grind – Always Represent!  12/14/2012

Today marks our opportunity to stand up for what we believe in. It is time that we move to the front of the crowd to be identified. I challenge you today to always represent yourself through your words and actions, for this is how your reputation is built. We must be reminded that how we talk and act is the foundation for our legacy. We should always respect and control ourselves because at every moment we represent God and our family. So today, stand for what’s right, align your words with your actions and BE GREAT!

Time To Bury The Hatchet!


Daily Grind – Time To Bury The Hatchet!  12/13/2012

At the beginning of this new day, let’s evaluate all of our grudges and finally release them so that we can be free. We will no longer allow someone else’s mess to live within our hearts. Of course it hurt us, but it in order for us to move forward it’s essential that we take the high road and let it go. I challenge you today to realize that it is time to bury the hatchet. We cannot continue to allow past poisons to slowly overtake our lives. When we refuse to FORGIVE, we continue to carry the venom that constantly shows up in our attitudes. In order to FORGIVE, we need to remember how our Heavenly Father provides GRACE and FORGIVENESS to us. So today, it’s time to finally bury the hatchet, forgive our transgressors, and BE GREAT!

The Force is With You!


Daily Grind – The Force is With You!  12/12/2012

Let’s start this day with the confidence that whatever we set out to do, our positive attitudes have the potency to change our circumstances. It is time that we recognize that not only do we have the power to control ourselves but we also have the influence to convert others to be better. I challenge you today to know that the force is with you and you must use your power for good! In our world today, it’s easy to be a Debbie-downer. On the flip side, it takes work and effort to look at the bright side of things on a daily basis. We must decide to be that glimmer of light that shines in the mist of darkness. It is time that we own our FORCE, make the world better, by choosing to BE GREAT!

James A. Bush, Jr. (The Bushinator)

Stay Thirsty My Friend!


Daily Grind – Stay Thirsty My Friend!  12/11/2012

Let’s allow this brand new day to manifest something special within us. It is time that we crave to be better than we were the day before. Our yearning for success should be exhibited in our actions as well as our words. I challenge you today to stay thirsty and strive to get to your next level. We can’t expect dynamic results with careless effort. We have to stay focused and continue to put in work to receive the outcomes that we desire. This is our moment  to take hold of our lives and remind ourselves that our aspirations are directly aligned to our determination. So put in the work, stay thirsty and BE GREAT!

Go GET What You Want!


Daily Grind – Go Get What You Want!  12/10/2012

When daylight shines on this day, it marks the time for us to be determined to capture our dreams. It is essential that we decide to work for what we desire. I challenge you today to go get what you want out of life. Stop making excuses when looking at the obstacles and show the world that you have the fight in you to succeed. At this moment, we all should take a hard look at our present conditions. If we are not where we want to be, do something about it! Let’s pull up our sleeves, get down to the nitty-gritty and go get what we want. When we cross that threshold of victory, we can glance back to today, when we decided to BE Great!

Know Your Influence! 12/7/2012


Daily Grind – Know Your Influence!  12/7/2012

At the top of this great day, it is time that we identify the effect that our attitude and presence has on others. Keep in mind that with each interaction, we have the power to make or break someone’s day. I challenge you today to realize the influence that you have on others and use your powers for good. No one wants to be responsible for impacting someone in a negative way. Once we pinpoint the magnitude that our presence has on others we come in contact with, we will begin to set the standard for greatness. We can’t wait until we are being watched before we do something awesome. We have to make it a habit to be the magnetic force to influence others to BE Great!

Daily Grind - Check Yourself!  12/6/2012

This bright morning lends us the grace to open our eyes and examine ourselves. At some point, we have to take responsibility for our current situations. The beauty in inspecting yourself is that only we are privy to the deep secrets that we withhold from the world. I challenge you today to check yourself first, before you enter into any type of disagreement or confrontation. It truly takes inner strength to scrutinize oneself, however, this bold act can eliminate us from a lifetime of trouble. Be reminded that not every situation requires an immediate response. Sometimes we must take a moment of silence to check ourselves. Once we do, we can respond appropriately, exhibiting to everyone that we control ourselves because We Are Great!

What's Your Sacrifice?


Daily Grind – What’s Your Sacrifice?  12/5/2012

At the start of this brand new day, let’s find a way to offer our time and talents to make someone else’s life better. Whenever we stretch beyond our limits to help others, we essentially enhance the world around us. I challenge you today to make a sacrifice for your fellow man. It is important to note that there will be times that we plant a seed into the world, we may not be able to enjoy the harvest. Fortunately, we set a standard to make it better for others and with that sacrifice, our name will live forever. So let’s sacrifice for others and know our reward is that We Are Great!

Turn UP the Intensity!


Daily Grind – Turn UP the Intensity!  12/4/2012

Let’s start this day off with a powerful PUNCH. We must get a jump start on what lies ahead. It is time that we stop waiting for the fight to overtake us and lace up our boxing gloves to bring the fight to our individual lives. One way that we can gain an advantage, is to strike first and strike hard. I challenge you today to turn up the INTENSITY in your life, realizing that you and only you have the POWER to change your OUTCOME!  Stop depending on others to throw you a life line.  Instead, get focused and turn up the HEAT in the areas you want to see change. Be reminded that nothing will happen unless you make the first move. So why not turn up the INTENSITY, get serious about results and Be Great!

You Can't Settle!


Daily Grind – You Can’t Settle! 12/3/2012

At the top of this morning, we have the opportunity to make a decision on what we want for our lives. Things may not appear the way we envisioned them but we can’t just sit back and give up on plans our FATHER has for us. I challenge you today to recognize that you can’t settle for what’s happening right now. We are obligated to make a difference and once we agree that we can’t settle for things as they are, we need to put in the extra effort into being successful. Now is the time to take a good look at the things we need to improve and refuse to settle on the idea that “it is what it is”. Be determined to reach your goals and don’t settle for less than being GREAT!

Daily Grind – Stand UP so YOU CAN SEE! 11/30/2012

At the top of this brand new morning, the prerequisite to begin a higher level of thinking is to raise our thoughts and have a vertical view. It is time to understand that looking at things horizontally, will not bring forth our intended results. I challenge you today to stand up so you can see what our heavenly FATHER has in store for you. Once you rise to your feet and establish a new vision, you will be amazed at the outcome. Keep in mind that whatever we can SEE, we can OBTAIN. We must stand above our problems and enlarge our tents as for as we can see! So stand to your feet, establish a new vision and Be Great!

Time for your Breakthrough!


Daily Grind – Time for Your Breakthrough! 11/29/2012

Today is the day to expect a breakthrough from our current situation.  To reach this level of freedom we must proclaim that it is our time and allow the spirit of expectancy to lead us to our destiny. In this phase of anticipation, we must focus our minds only on the positive for that is where we receive what we want. I challenge you today to create the right spirit to receive your breakthrough. Think back in your mind of that special Christmas moment when you awaited for your perfect gift and found it waiting for you under the tree. It is that same feeling we should have as we anticipate the gifts from our Father!  So expect your breakthrough and be Great!

GET UP and KEEP GOING! 11/28/12


Allow this day to determine a new course in the right direction. It is time to stop looking in the mirror saying “woe is me” and exit the pity party.” We must muster up all of our inner strength to ACT. I challenge you today to get up from the ground, brush yourself off and keep going. Quit looking around waiting for someone to assist you. Be reminded that YOU must take the first step before anything happens. Contrary to popular belief, a winner is not decided based upon the number of victories but rather how many times they get up and keep going. Instead of focusing on what has already happened and how it left you in despair, be determined to pick yourself up and allow that hurt to be the driving force for you to work on YOU! Get up, keep going and Be GREAT!

Make TODAY Count!


Daily Grind – Make TODAY Count!  11/27/2012

Today, let’s begin to be strategic with our decisions. With every thought and action we take, it is our responsibility to create results that matters. I challenge you today to make this day count by developing a plan that you believe in, will be determined to work towards and ultimately complete. It is time that we recognize that today’s SEED will produce tomorrow’s HARVEST. We cannot afford to conveniently put things off until later because we are subconsciously giving ourselves an easy way out. Let’s start TODAY by checking our hearts to develop a passion for something we want. Once we decide on what we desire, our determination will eventually produce the results that show we are GREAT!

work, making every day count, and you will reach your goals. ~Ralph Marston

Let today mark the moment that we decide to stand up to the challenges of life. It is time that we acknowledge that once we get pass one obstacle, another road block is right around the corner. However, if we set our minds on controlling what we can, we will not allow the next bump in the road to deter us. I challenge you today to RISE UP to whatever curve ball is thrown your way. Instead, we must hang in there and knock it out the park. Be reminded that we are more than conquerors and with the right mindset, we can overcome anything. So, stay focused, fight till the end and RISE UP because you are GREAT!

Be reminded that we were created in the image of our Heavenly Father, and that alone makes us brilliant. Now is the time to release our feelings of inadequacy and move forward in GREATNESS!

No More Than We Can Bear! 11/19/2012


Daily Grind – No More Than We Can Bear! 11/19/2012

Allow this day to be a testimony for us to glance back and recognize that regardless of what we’ve gone through, we always had enough on the inside to get us to the other side. There may have been times when we felt that our end was near but somehow we still made it. I challenge you today to remember that in spite of the obstacles in our path, our Heavenly Father will never put more on us than we can bear. That does not mean that things will not be difficult or challenging; it simply means that when things get tough, we have to get tougher! When these incidents take place, our faith cannot waver because HE has already shed his blood for our victory. We should be confident and face our problems head on because no matter what comes our way, we will be able to bear it because we are GREAT! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!

James A. Bush, Jr. (The Bushinator)

Daily Grind – Get Ready For What’s In Store! 11/16/2012

At the top of this day, it is time that we prepare our minds for what our Heavenly Father has prepared for our lives. It is in this moment that we must believe what’s in our hearts and not what’s before our eyes. I challenge you today to change your mind and prepare for your blessings. Be reminded that our miracles will always align with the Faith we have. Once we decide that we are going to press on regardless of our situations, the desires of our hearts will be fulfilled. However, if we continue to be unstable, we will receive similar results. So today, let’s block out the negative thoughts, knowing that our cup is about to run over and we will continue to be GREAT!

Each day is an opportunity to begin the next chapter of our lives. The great thing about restarting is that we don’t have to worry about the things that happened before. I challenge you to use today as your starting point to move forward in your life. Keep in mind that our possibilities are endless and there are no limitations or restrictions on our future. From this point on, our words and will guide our destiny and we will speak life into every circumstance that we face. Once we start our journey, we have no choice but to discover our purpose along the way. We can’t wait for the right time to initiate action. Today is our starting point and we must show that we are GREAT!

Once we agree to be excited about our lives, our presence becomes magnetic for others. Be reminded that when you believe in the bright side of things, they usually turn out that way. When we are positive about every situation in our lives, we build up our foundation of faith and develop the courage to know that everything will be alright because we are GREAT!

Learn From It!


Daily Grind – Learn From It! 11/13/2012

This day provides us with the opportunity to look back on our past decisions and learn something from them. Now marks the moment for us to consider what we could have done differently and use that knowledge for future situations. I challenge you today to learn from it and let it go! The primary reason we get stuck in a rut is because we allow our minds to focus on what happened in the past rather than moving forward into our future. Be reminded that the only way we truly learn is by coming up short. It is in those moments that we realize we don’t like that feeling and decide to do something different. So, review your experiences, learn from them and Be Great!

Daily Grind – Pay Attention to DETAILS! 11/12/2012

At the start of this new day, let’s take advantage of every minute we’ve been given. In order for us to reach our optimum level, we must dot our I’s and cross our T’s. Now is not the time to look for short cuts. I challenge you today to pay attention to details in everything that you do. It is critical that we stay focused, showing everyone that we come in contact with that the small details make the difference. We are not perfect but the effort that we put into our work can be and can give us an advantage. When we pay attention to the particulars, we set ourselves apart to Be GREAT!

James A. Bush, Jr. (The Bushinator)

“Discipline is based on pride, on meticulous attention to details, and on mutual respect and confidence. Discipline must be a habit so ingrained that it is stronger than the excitement of the goal or the fear of failure.”

~Gary Ryan Blair
