Make The Tough Decisions!

Daily Grind – Make The Tough Decisions! 4/30/2013

On this splendid day, let’s focus our thoughts on making sound judgments. At times, these decisions will require us to make choices that will be quite difficult in order to reach out heart’s desire and keep our lives balanced. I challenge you today to be resilient when making tough decisions. It is imperative to recognize that the quality of our lives sometimes depends on the tough decisions that we face. We can’t go through life on an emotional roller coaster, making decisions in the heat of the moment. We gain an edge when we keep our cool and think beyond our present condition, knowing that our future depends on it. So, remain even-keeled, analyze the whole situation, and make the tough decisions to Be GREAT!

Think Differently!

Daily Grind – Think Differently! 4/29/2013

At the start of this amazing week, we should defy the odds by expanding our minds to explore thoughts that are outside the norm. In order for us to change the world around us, we must change our mindset on how we see things. We can’t afford to sit back and wait on others to decide our fate. I challenge you today to be bold and think differently. When we decide to take a stand against being average or going with the majority, we elevate ourselves as leaders. Once we begin to think differently, we find ourselves on the cutting edge of invention with new ideas and new solutions because we are forward thinkers. Be Brave, go beyond your boundaries, think differently and Be GREAT!

James A. Bush, Jr. (The Bushinator)

Be A Dream Chaser!

Daily Grind – Be A Dream Chaser! 4/26/2013

Let’s begin this weekend by lighting our fire within. At this moment, we should be encouraged to take action, with all the passion we can muster up, and follow our heart’s desire. We owe it to ourselves to use our imaginations and pursue our desires relentlessly. I challenge you today to lace up your shoes and prepare yourself to be a dream chaser. Just because the path is filled with challenges and obstacles, doesn’t mean that we can’t find our way through the shrubs to reach our destiny. Time should not play a factor for our ultimate happiness because it is never too late to chase after your dreams. So today, let’s envision ourselves capturing our dreams and living the best life possible. Chase your dreams, live out your destiny and Be GREAT!

Things Can Change In An Instant!

Daily Grind – Things Can Change In An Instant! 4/25/2013

Let’s use this day to be the start of our change. Whatever we envision for our lives, we have the power to set in motion. The light bulb in our minds should indicate that we are better than our present circumstances if we are willing to put in the work to experience what we want. I challenge you today to realize that things can change in an instant with the right mindset. We must press forward every day, setting a positive tone in every situation. The moment we understand our purpose and accept the fact that we are vessels of light for others… “Presto” - WE ARE CHANGED! So embrace your change, illuminate your bright light to overtake darkness with LOVE and Be GREAT!

You Can't Be Defeated!

Daily Grind – You Can’t Be Defeated! 4/24/2013

At the top of this dynamic morning, we should rejoice in knowing the promises that our Father has for us. When we take a look at our present circumstances, we should marvel at the fact that although things look bleak and we are at our wits end, we have the VICTORY!  I challenge you today to remember that YOU CAN’T BE DEFEATED!  It is time to walk triumphantly, confident that you can’t lose. We must remember that God’s word will never come back void so that should be a sign that the game is not over yet. There is still time on the clock and we will score the winning goal. So, lift your head up and know that you can’t be defeated because our Father has made you Great!

Get Past It!

Daily Grind – Get Past It! 4/23/2003

As we face the opportunities today offers us, let’s focus our minds on letting bygones be bygones. It is time for us to overcome the moments in our history that caused us hurt or harm. I challenge you today to get past those things that continue to stir up negative emotions within us. In order for us to get to the next level of our lives, it is vital that we first forgive and then get past it. Often times we put our future on hold because we are consumed with what others have done to us. Remember that the past is the past and we should refuse to be defined by what USED to be. So get up, wipe yourself off and Get PAST it to show the world that you are Great

The Company You Keep!

Daily Grind – The Company You Keep! 4/21/2003

Let’s start this week by positioning ourselves to reach our full potential. It is time that we look at our surroundings to analyze who we interact with. If we associate ourselves with Debbie Downers and Dejected Daniels, their attitudes will likely rub off on us. I challenge you today to be aware of the company that you keep. We must be mindful of the people that we gravitate to in our pursuit of happiness. In order for us to build a successful brand, it is important that we surround ourselves with effective, energetic and successful people that will educate, motivate and challenge us to reach our goals. Get in position, check the company you keep and Be Great!

Be the Thermostat, Not the Thermometer!

Daily Grind – Be the Thermostat, NOT the Thermometer! 4/19/2003

Let’s begin this weekend with making a choice on how to live our lives. We can decide to be motionless, forced to move at the commands of others, or we can choose to regulate our own personal happiness by making changes that will enrich our lives. I challenge you today to be the Thermostat and not the Thermometer. At this moment, we should be inspired to take control of our lives and do something special. We should no longer sit around, like a bump on a log, waiting for our ship to come in. Remember that nothing comes to a sleeper but a dream. We can’t afford to wait on someone else’s approval. It is time for us to step up and become active participants in fulfilling our own destiny. Be bold and change the temperature of the world by being Great!

Speak It Into Existence!

Daily Grind – Speak It Into Existence! 4/18/2013

Start this fresh day aligning your thoughts and your tongue for victory. With every word that comes out of our mouths, we should be committed to edify our situation. We can’t look at our present circumstances as the permanent outcome. We have to develop the faith to see a brighter future. I challenge you today to speak your desires into existence and believe that it can happen for you. This is not the time to look to others for advice or to allow them to justify your vision. We must look UP and WITHIN to see things as though they were and have the FAITH to speak them into existence. Ultimately, we become what we speak! So repeat after me: “At this very moment, I walk in the majestic blessings of our Lord. He leads me to my DESTINY because I AM GREAT!”

James A. Bush, Jr. (The Bushinator)

Be The Difference!

Daily Grind – Be The Difference! 4/17/2013

With the start of this brand new day, we must exhibit the qualities that separate us from others through our actions. It is important to remember that we are constantly on display and should vow to execute a work ethic that can’t be duplicated. I challenge you today to be the positive difference that the world desperately needs. When we decide to be the difference, we accept the road less traveled. The terrain is rough and it requires us to grind a little harder but where there is a challenge, there’s also an opportunity. Grab hold of the opportunity to be the difference by leading others by example through our attitude, intensity and desire. Go forth, be the difference and Be Great!

Keep It 100!

Daily Grind – Keep It 100! 4/16/2013

At the beginning of this day, we have another opportunity to build a foundation of integrity. It is imperative that anytime we speak, we formulate our thoughts with honor and truth. We should not have to add a disclaimer to validate the reliability of our message. I challenge you today to always keep it 100. Once we decide to be real in all aspects of our lives, we free ourselves of the internal bondage that prevents us from being our best. Today we must stand BOLD knowing that our integrity is not only formed with our words, but is also forged in our actions. Before you speak, make sure that it is truthful and uplifting in our pursuit to Be Great!

James A. Bush, Jr. (The Bushinator)

Switch It Up!

Daily Grind – Switch It Up! 4/15/2013

With the start of this week, we should feel empowered knowing that we hold the key to our individual achievements. It is time that we analyze where we are in our lives and if necessary, change courses to get to where we need to be to be successful. I challenge you today to recognize when it’s time to switch it up. If our desire is to get different results, we must look at our process and change how we get there. Once we develop the courage to switch it up, we open our minds to new ideas that will lead us to the pathway for success. Keep in mind that there is nothing new under the sun so it is important that we look to successful individuals and modify their plans to fit our needs. So let’s switch it up and Be Great! 

James A. Bush, Jr. (The Bushinator)

We are required to make sure that every action we take is the best decision for ourselves and our loved ones. I challenge you today to put forth your best effort to maximize your full potential. In order to reach our ultimate level, we have to push ourselves with consistent, unrelenting effort. It is essential that we remain positive and upbeat even when things are difficult.

With this new day, we must develop confidence in ourselves, realizing that we hold the power to accomplish anything we set our minds to. In order to obtain the desires of our hearts, we have to be certain that we can do it. I challenge you today to believe in yourself! There will be moments when the world appears to be resting on our shoulders, this is when we have to show the fortitude to look within and believe that we can handle it. We must have faith in our abilities and know that our Father has equipped us to be Great! When we show assurance within ourselves, it cultivates us into leaders. Today, we must believe in ourselves and devote our lives to leading our families and everyone we come in contact with, setting an example to Be Great!

Meet It Head On!

Daily Grind – Meet It Head On! 4/10/2013

At the top of this fantastic morning, our focus should be on facing our obstacles in an attempt to overcome them. When problems come into our lives, we tend to put them on the back burner as if they will magically disappear. I challenge you today to meet your problems head on with a determination to conquer them. Keep in mind that if we fail to address our situations, they usually become more difficult to handle. Today we must boldly stand toe to toe with our circumstances. Despite of our fears, we can rise to the occasion with the confidence to overcome them or work them out. Once we display the courage to face our challenges, we show the world that we are Great!

Remain Humble In Your Approach!

Daily Grind – Remain Humble In Your Approach! 4/9/2013

On this terrific Tuesday, let’s begin this day with thanksgiving and allow our actions to display that we are meek at heart. We must understand that we can’t progress when we are arrogant or boastful about our accolades and good deeds. I challenge you today to remain humble in your approach for this is where your TRUE success lies. When we focus on humility, we extend ourselves for the benefit of others. If everyone sacrificed their individual selves to uplift someone else, we would all be elevated and become better people. It is time that we start a new movement of humility by taking advantage of every opportunity to lend a hand and assisting in uplifting the lives of others. Show humility and Be Great!

James A. Bush, Jr. (The Bushinator)

Let’s start this week with a fresh outlook. This is a new day with unlimited opportunities and we should expect all things to work in our favor.

With the anticipation of the weekend, let’s use today to put things in perspective. Although it appears that our backs are against the wall and there is no way out, we must find the determination to keep going. I encourage you today to not give up now. On this journey of life, we never know how close we are to our mark so we can’t give up when things get tough and nothing seems to be falling in our favor. We must use this moment to show the world what we’re made of. Contrary to popular belief, we are not defined by who we are when everything is going well. It is when we are faced with adversity and challenges that we develop our legacy. So let’s dig in, don’t give up now and Be Great!

Daily Grind – It Is For You! 4/4/2013

At the top of this magnificent day, our charge is to stop worrying about circumstances that are beyond our control. Our faith should remind us that Our Father has personalized blessings in store for each and every one of us and he is guaranteed to provide what he promises. I challenge you today to be assured that what God has for you it is for you! It doesn’t matter what situations you are currently facing; if a blessing is meant for you, nothing will be able to stop it. So why worry? Change your mindset and think positive. When we put our minds at ease, we will discover where real peace exists. Keep in mind that you can go as far as your thoughts will take you. So think positive, be assured that IT is for you, and Be Great!

No One Better!

Daily Grind – No One Better! 4/3/2013

Let’s start this morning acknowledging the fact that there is no one in the world that can match you being you. We spend countless hours trying to mimic the lives of others instead of discovering the uniqueness of our individual selves, which holds the key to our greatness. I challenge you today to be content with knowing that no one is better at being you but you! It is time that we rediscover the distinct qualities that make us special and work on them to design the lives we want. Once we realize that being ourselves is liberating, we will no longer seek to change who we are in order to fit in. There is no need to identify an idol that you want to imitate. Just look in the mirror, fall in love in what you see, and Be Great!

Make Proper Adjustments!

Daily Grind – Make Proper Adjustments! 4/2/2013

Let’s start this day by analyzing the things that we do well and modifying the things we need to work on. Once we acknowledge our deficiencies, we must develop a strategy to get back on track. I challenge you today to be courageous and bold in making the proper adjustments to your life. When things fail to work out as we intended, we often times get down on ourselves and prepare to abandon our dreams. However, we should be encouraged, knowing that making simple adjustments and redefining our goals will place us where we need to be. Everything does not require a total reconstruction of the foundation that has already been built. Let’s be forward-thinking and meticulous in our approach. When we make the proper adjustments, we move forward in Being Great!

Every day we are granted a new opportunity to live an abundant life. I challenge you today to celebrate the fact that HE HAS RISEN by spreading love to everyone we come in contact with. We should be a light of hope and inspiration for anyone in need. Because He has risen, we know that every trial and tribulation in our lives can be transformed into a testimony. Be encouraged and know that we can rise from any circumstance, and show the world that we are Great!
