Stand UP so YOU CAN SEE! 11/30/2012

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!

James A. Bush, Jr. (The Bushinator)

Every day is an opportunity to make your life the way you want

it to be. Anything is possible when you work toward it, one

day at a time. Skip a day, and you lose momentum. Try to do

it all at once, and you burn out. Steadily, consistently

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

Rise Up! 11/26/2012

Daily Grind – Rise Up!  11/26/2012

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)

Get Ready For What's In Store! 11/16/2012

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!  

James A. Bush, Jr. (The Bushinator)

Starting Point!

Daily Grind – Starting Point! 11/15/2012

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!

Be Optimistic!

Daily Grind – Be Optimistic! 11/14/2012

Let this day be the beginning of something new. Today we must decide to be confident in what life has in store for us and recognize that we are in total control of our thoughts. I challenge you today to be optimistic about your life and remind yourself of the good things you have going for you. 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!

James A. Bush, Jr. (The Bushinator)

Pay Attention to Details! 11/12/2012

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!

Transform, Transcend, Transmit!

Daily Grind – Transform, Transcend, Transmit!  11/9/2012

With this new day, let’s embrace the chance that we have to do something GREAT! Whatever our past has recorded can be altered if we rise above our current situation. At the very moment we make a decision to present ourselves differently, we will immediately become an example for others. I challenge you today to transform, transcend and transmit yourself to a higher living. When we are committed to focusing only on the things that matter, we will no longer be entangled in the trivial drama that has stunted our growth. So take advantage of the gift of life and we can Transform, Transcend and Transmit ourselves into being GREAT!

Today, when we rise for the new adventure in our lives, we must determine if we have the inner fortitude to strive to the next level.

United We Stand!

Daily Grind –United We Stand!  11/7/2012

With the start of this new day, let’s look around and see where we can work together for the betterment of each other, this country and the world. It is time that we put aside our differences and focus on helping one another to collectively reach our individual goals. I challenge you today to know that when we stand united, committed to each other as brothers and sisters; we can overcome any problems, if we face our issues together. It is time that we turn our attention to our families, our communities and our nation! If we continue on the same path, we will get the same results and with that plan, we all lose. So let’s UNITE and create a platform for all of us to BE GREAT!

Ask For Help!

Daily Grind – Ask For Help!  11/6/2012

At the start of this new day, it is time that we change how we move through adversity. We must discontinue thinking that we can do it all by ourselves. It is time that we set aside our pride and recognize that even a millionaire needs a neighbor. I challenge you today to understand that it is alright to ask for help. Many of us are so prideful that we behave as if we’re allergic to assistance. Why do we continue to suffer with a problem, when we are connected to the Problem Solver? Make today the last day for carrying the weight of the world on your own shoulders. Open your mouth and ask for help. Be reminded that the only way we can reach our goal is with the help from our Creator and our fellow man. Once we accept the support we need, our journey will be a little easier, allowing us to BE GREAT!

James A. Bush, Jr. (The Bushinator)

What About Me?

Daily Grind – What About Me?  11/5/2012

As we fall back in time, we must begin to focus on the person that matters most. It is good to give and sacrifice for others; however, we can’t continue to neglect ourselves. I challenge you today to reflect on your life and ask “What about me?” This is the season for you to invest in yourself. If you continue to plant seeds in others and not devote the time to personal growth and well-being, you will soon be empty. This new day offers us the opportunity to take a look at ourselves and do something that makes us happy. Once we rediscover love for ourselves, everyone we come in contact with will feel the impact and can attest that we are GREAT!

This day offers us another opportunity to show that we are equipped to step from behind the scenes and lead. We must exhibit the inner confidence and the right mindset in order to succeed. There is no more time to prepare… we have to be ready! I challenge you today to believe in yourself and know that whatever obstacles you face, you got this! We must think back on all the times when we anticipated being in this position and execute our plan. Be reminded that it is normal to be nervous but we must remain in total control. You got this because you are Great!

At this very moment, we can begin the change for the rest of our lives. Yesterday is finished and tomorrow has not come; we should focus all of our energy on TODAY.

Once we decide to catapult our lives into a new dimension, we will release the past and work in the now.
