Be Easy!

Daily Grind – Be Easy!  9/28/2012

Today we can loosen up, release our stress and chill out. This marks the end of the work week and we can finally kick back and enjoy ourselves. I challenge you today to be easy and refuse to get bent out of shape. Now is the time to take a deep breath and let it all go. We cannot allow others to get under our skin and change our attitude. We have the power to control our own emotions and must remember that people treat us how we permit them too. Change the atmosphere by taking a chill pill. It is time to change our attention from foolishness to fun. When we master our emotions and take it easy, we will find how to Be Great!

James A. Bush, Jr. (The Bushinator)

Take it easy baby, take it as it comes - specialize in having fun!

Plan Your Work Then Work Your Plan!

Daily Grind – Plan Your Work Then Work Your Plan!  9/27/2012

At the start of this day, we should find new ways to define ourselves. In order for that to happen, we must go to the drawing board and map out our future. I challenge you today to plan your work then work your plan. In order for us to get to our destination, we have to develop a blueprint of action. It is in our planning that we decide our direction. When we are ready to move to next level, we must roll up our sleeves and work our plan to get the results that we desire. Remember that we are ultimately responsible for the course of our life. So let’s get organized and plan a magnificent life and work it to Be Great!

What Matters Most? 9/26/2012

Daily Grind – What Matters Most?  9/26/2012

With each new day, we have a chance to evaluate what’s most important in life. We all set out on a daily pursuit to find happiness and place value on material things, thinking that it will elevate our status. I challenge you today to examine your life and decide what matters most. When we take the time to look within, we realize that the things that truly matters most are the things that we can’t place a price tag on - FAITH, FAMILY, FRIENDS and LOVE. When we place these things at the top of priority list, we will be Great!

James A. Bush, Jr. (The Bushinator)

If you need help to find your purpose in life, look at the things that matter the most to you and there is where you will find your purpose. It's also where you will find real happiness.

It's Not OVER!

Daily Grind – It’s Not OVER!  9/25/2012

This new day offers the possibility for us to overcome the challenges we face. It is important that we continue to find ways to succeed. I challenge you today to encourage yourself and know that although it may appear that the battle is lost, it’s not over. Be reminded that the only way we truly come up short in the game of life is when we pack our bags, throw in the towel and give up. Today we must come together and proclaim that it’s not over! We hold the power to break through barriers and accomplish whatever we set our minds to. It is not the time to give in because we have too much to gain. It’s not over until we show that we are Great!

James A. Bush, Jr. (The Bushinator)

Don't give up! It's not over. The universe is balanced. Every set-back bears with it the seeds of a come-back.

Pay Attention!

Daily Grind – Pay Attention!  9/24/2012

This fresh new day offers us another opportunity to confirm our purpose on this earth. We spend a lot of time chasing after the latest fads, trying to figure out where we fit in. It is time that we slow down and begin to listen to what make us tick. I challenge you today to “pay attention” to your heart and go after what you are truly called to do. We must remember that we are all uniquely designed and carry the inspiration within us that can change the world. It is critical to understand that finding our purpose is not optional, it is mandatory. So pay attention, live out your purpose and Be Great!  

James A. Bush, Jr. (The Bushinator)

Let Your Light Shine! 9/21/2012

Daily Grind – Let Your Light Shine!  9/21/2012

When the clock strikes twelve, we have an opportunity of a fresh perspective for the new day. Regardless of what issues we are facing, we should be able to look at the bright side of things. I challenge you today to let your light shine by concentrating on the positive points in your life. It is easy for us to focus on the negative things but when we decide to let our light shine, we can transfer that optimistic energy to others. We should be on a mission to touch as many individuals as we can by exhibiting our grateful hearts and upbeat attitudes. The beautiful thing about letting our light shine is that when we do, it shows what we are made of. So Shine Your Light and Be Great!  

James A. Bush, Jr. (The Bushinator)

“We are told to let our light shine, and if it does, we won't need to tell anybody it does. Lighthouses don't fire cannons to call attention to their shining- they just shine.”

Believe In Yourself!

Daily Grind – Believe In Yourself!  9/20/2012

At the start of today, we can remove all of the past failures that have haunted us and start fresh by expressing the internal confidence we have within. I challenge you today to conquer all of your goals by believing in yourself, knowing that you have what it takes to change the world. We can’t wait for the “right moment” to prove ourselves or sit idle for a cosigner. We must dream BIG and believe in the spirit to keep us going. There may have been times when we felt like giving up but now is not that time!  Today is the day that we look in the mirror, remove all self doubt and believe that we can Be Great!

It is What We Make It! 9/19/2012

Daily Grind – It is What We Make It!  9/19/2012

At the dawn of this new day, we are lead by the spirit to revolutionize our present circumstances. Being average can easily be acceptable but children of the KING are not ordinary. We possess the power to dig deeper and when extra is combined with ordinary, we become EXTRAORDINARY. I challenge you today to stop accepting that “it is what it is” and put additional effort into improving your situation. Once we make a commitment to give more, we are able to advance ourselves to where we want to be. Right now we must take back our lives and overcome our circumstances. “It is what it is” causes us to accept where we are but “it is what we make it” forces us to control where we going. Stop settling and Be Great!  

James A. Bush, Jr. (The Bushinator)

Adjust Your Attitude! 9/18/2012

Daily Grind – Adjust Your Attitude!  9/18/2012

In this life, we will encounter situations that can leave us with a negative disposition.  In these moments, we must channel our inner being to form our outer reaction. It is a fact that as long as we live on this earth, we will have to engage with others and it is critical that we are constantly mindful of our approach to difficult situations. I challenge you today to handle frustrating situations and people by adjusting your attitude. Once we discover that we are part of the solution, we will no longer see problems - only opportunities. When we take control of our attitude and work on adjusting to every situation in a positive way, we will discover that we can create the CHANGE we want to see. Be Great!  

James A. Bush, Jr. (The Bushinator)

You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude toward what happens to you, and in that, you will be mastering change rather than allowing it to master you.”

Not Your Final Place! 9/17/2012

Daily Grind – Not Your Final Place!  9/17/2012

With the start of this new day, we are granted an opportunity to change our position. When it feels like we’re in last place, it is important to realize that this is the time to look within and refuse to stay where we are. I challenge you today to remember that failing or coming up short may be a temporary location but IT IS NOT YOUR FINAL PLACE!  We must be reminded that the race is not given to the swift but to the ones that endure until the end. It is critical to strengthen our spirits, knowing that bad things will happen in life. When these things emerge, our faith and inner determination will help to decide our fate. We can’t afford to remain in turmoil because it is not our final place! Change your mind and VICTORY will be your final place! Be Great!

Speak Victory! 9/14/2012

Daily Grind – Speak Victory!  9/14/2012

With this new day, our minds must be focused and filled with expectancy. When we channel our thoughts on positive things, we have the ability to change our destiny with what we say. I challenge you today to speak victory from your present state. Be reminded that the words that we speak carry the breakthrough that we seek. Today let’s begin to express ourselves optimistically in every situation we face. It’s time to realize that we own the power to change our circumstances and when we put words of life into the air, it shifts the atmosphere and paves that way to our victory. Think it, Speak it, Do it and Be Great!

Going Against The Grain! 9/13/2012

Daily Grind – Going Against The Grain!  9/13/2012

Each day we have the opportunity to do what we feel is right for our individual selves. We cannot be concerned with the opinions of others. It is easy for us to continue on the common path and stay with the norm but we have the chance to chart a customized path designed just for us. I challenge you today to step up to the plate and go against the grain. The moment we decide to go against the grain, the naysayers will immediately try to discourage us. This is when we must muster up the courage and determination to go beyond the goals that was set. Remember that when we position our mind to any tasks, we won’t be denied. So listen to your heart and if it says go against the grain…Go and Be Great!

It's Not Always What You See! 9/12/2012

Daily Grind – It’s Not Always What You See!  9/12/2012

This new day gives us another opportunity to exercise our faith by understanding that we can’t put all of our stock into what we see. Many of us are image-driven beings and can sometimes be tricked by our vision. I challenge you today to realize that it’s not always what you see. We must remember that our HEAVENLY FATHER is constantly working behind the scenes on our behalf and it’s the enemy’s job to paint a picture that deceives or misleads us. We can’t afford to give in because the wall of doubt looks too tall to climb. Instead we must have the courage to scale that wall, knowing that once we reach the other side we will experience success and GREATNESS!

James A. Bush, Jr. (The Bushinator)

“You shouldn’t believe in everything. What you see isn’t always right. Is what you think truly right? Please think about it again. A heart that obediently accepts things is fine, but shouldn’t you question something just once? The truth is in a place you can’t see.” ~Takehito Koyaso

We Will Never Forget! 9/11/2012

Daily Grind – We Will Never FORGET!  9/11/2012

Today marks a day in our history that we shall never forget. Regardless of our differences on political views, today we stand UNITED as ONE NATION. I challenge you today to remember the lives of our fellow Americans that were lost on this tragic day 11 years ago. It is important that we honor the memory of those individuals by being kind and showing love to one another. Today we should stretch out our arms and extend our hands to uplift each other. Throughout our history, we have always found the fortitude to rise above any challenges we face together. So today, in remembrance, let’s edify one another and Be GREAT!

Expect the UNEXPECTED! 9/10/2012

Daily Grind – Expect the Unexpected!  9/10/2012

With the start of this new day, we should be prepared for anything. We must remember that we are at war with seen and unseen spirits and we can’t afford to be caught off guard or surprised when bad things happen. I challenge you today to expect the unexpected but plan for victory. We spend too much time worrying about things that probably will never happen rather than enjoying life and trusting God. By exercising our faith, we can be confident that if the unexpected does happens, we are prepared to handle it. When we accept that OUR FATHER is in total control, we will have the courage to face any crisis knowing that we already have the victory. It is in this moment that we can show ourselves approved, expecting that even the unexpected things will work out in our favor. Be GREAT!

Daily Grind – Paint Your Picture!  9/7/2012

Today provides a new canvas to begin the outline of our masterpiece for life. When we sketch our portrait, we must express the intricate details and carefully pull out the characteristics to display its value. I challenge you today to paint the picture you want to see in your life. We are responsible for the outcome of our creation and must have the vision to paint a representation that articulates our everyday actions. That’s why we have to stand firm on our values and rise above any obstacles that we face. Once we are finished with our masterpiece, we can place it on display to show the world that we are GREAT!

Who Can Be Against Us? 9/6/2012

Daily Grind – Who Can Be Against Us?  9/6/2012

Today we can find peace in knowing that regardless of what comes against us, we have the victory because our Heavenly Father is on our side. There is no need for us to think that we are out of the race. I challenge you today to ask yourself a question that will immediately release each of us from bondage - - If GOD be for us, who can be against us? Once we accept and trust the ultimate protection that God offers us, it tears down our insecurities and allows us to walk faithfully, and with confidence into our destiny. It is time that we humble ourselves, continue to pray and experience how our MAGNIFICENT MASTER can elevate us to Greatness!

Recommit Yourself! 9/5/2012

Daily Grind – Recommit Yourself!  9/5/2012

Today is a day that we need to look within ourselves and ask if we are giving our all. Are we giving our all for ourselves, our family and our community? It is time that we use every ounce of ourselves to do our very best every single day. I challenge you to recommit yourself to any and everything that you are involved in. When we decide to give our all without worrying about selfish benefits, we  quickly discover that anything that we desire will fall directly in our laps because of our selflessness. We must be mature in our thinking, focusing less on ourselves and leading by example. Recommit yourself, give your all and Be Great!

James A. Bush, Jr. (The Bushinator)

Free Your Mind! 9/4/2012

Daily Grind – Free Your Mind!  9/4/2012

This brand new day offers a fresh approach on how we should manage our mindset moving forward. We can no longer be cautious or hesitant about accomplishing our goals. Simply put, it is time that we replace excuses with actions. I challenge you today to free your mind from limits.  Instead of dwelling on the obstacles that are at your feet, start looking towards your Heavenly Father to discover the purpose of your life. When our focus is not clear, we will remain in the same dormant situations. Life is hard enough so we cannot assist it by handcuffing ourselves with restrictions. It is time that we propel into to the next dimension of our lives by freeing our minds and reaching for our dreams. It’s risky but for anything great to happen there will be challenges. We have the power to remove the chains from our minds and to walk freely into our destiny. Be Free and Be Great!
