DGC - HAPPY Place!

Daily Grind Classic– Find Your Happy Place! 6/27/2014

Let’s approach this new day with a positive attitude and maintain a bright outlook with everything we face. It is up to us to discover or uncover the time or place when we experienced the most JOY. I challenge you today to find your HAPPY place. We must remember that the POWER to be HAPPY originates within us. We should not look to anything or anyone for our personal happiness and once we determine the hurdle that keeps us from being happy, we must have the courage to remove it from our lives. Essentially, happiness is a CHOICE and in order for us to walk into our HAPPY place, we must choose wisely and BE GREAT!

 James A. Bush, Jr. (The Bushinator)

Let your intentions be good - embodied in good thoughts, cheerful words, and unselfish deeds - and the world will be to you a bright and happy place in which to work and play and serve. ~Grenville Kleiser

Believe! 6/26/2014

Daily Grind – Believe! 6/26/2014

At the start of this GREAT day, we must erase all doubt and remove every mental stumbling block that has prevented our progress. We need to stand up to uncertainty, suspicion and fear and knock them on their butts. It is time that we exercise our inner power, having Faith in not only WHO we are, but more importantly WHOSE we are! I challenge you today to simply BELIEVE! It is the base of our fundamental principle of life. In order for us to bring about change in our lives, we must believe it can happen. Today we must decide to push pass the limits that others have set for us. It is time that we move from the impossible to the possible. We must stretch our Faith to new dimensions but before we can accomplish any great feat, we must BELIEVE and Be Great!        

Keep your dreams alive. Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication. Remember all things are possible for those who believe. ~Gail Devers

DG - Doing Something Different!

Daily Grind – Doing Something Different! 6/25/2014

Let's allow this day to be the start of something new. It is time that we stop looking for maximum results when we only give minimum effort. Let’s analyze our current situation and exert the energy necessary to reach our desired outcome. I challenge you today to do something different. We are in control of how far we go in life. From this point forward, let’s abandon the aimless approach that takes us nowhere and start strategically calculating our next steps. We are impregnated with potential that is never birthed because we are constantly doing the same things. When we commit to doing something different and trying something new, we open ourselves up to endless possibilities that will enlighten and change our lives for the better. So today, let’s start by doing something different on our path to being Great!

DG - Can't Stop, Won't Stop!

Daily Grind – Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop! 6/24/2014

On this magnificent day, let’s kick up our inner strength to keep going in spite of what we face. One of the most important things that we can do to reach our goals is to continue to move. Even if our pace is at the speed of a turtle, we must continue to move. I challenge you today to remember that in order reach the desires of our hearts, we must develop a "can’t stop, won’t stop" attitude, regardless of the situation. Once we decide that we will not stop, we gain the confidence and vision to overcome anything. So, let’s press forward with an unwavering commitment to keep moving to Be Great!

Delayed Does Not Mean Denied!

Daily Grind Classic – Delayed Does Not Mean Denied! 6/18/2014

 Just because you haven't received the results that you want, does not mean they are not coming. Your desire to push through will prevail. Keep pressing forward and don’t give in to what you see. According to Og Mandino, “small attempts repeated will overtake any undertaking.” Remember, you have FAVOR! Take your rightful place as the HEAD and not the TAIL. Focus and walk BOLDLY into your destiny and the results must follow.

 1 Corinthians 2:9

But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

DGC - Be Flexible! 6/17/2014

Daily Grind Classic – Be Flexible! 6/17/2014

 There is nothing constant but change. Often time we feel that we can’t begin a new adventure until everything is in place and all the stars align just right. Flexibility allows us to JUST DO IT, regardless of the circumstances. Life is like a basketball game, when you are dribbling down the court and prepared to make a pass to your teammate, the other team steps in front and steals the ball, what do you do? You can’t pout and cry that someone stole your ball. You have to move in quick transition to play defense. Today, you owe it to yourself to be flexible to life demands and prepare for the quick transitions. Be GREAT!

~ Empty your mind; be formless, shapeless - like water. Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup, you put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, you put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend. ~ Bruce Lee

DGC - YOU Have to Keep Fighting!

Daily Grind Classic – You Have to Keep Fighting! 6/16/2014

There will be times in our lives when our backs are firmly pressed against the wall and our minds are on the verge of defeat. We feel like we have exhausted all of our resources and we are on a crash course with the freight train of life.  It is in these moments that we must choose between fight or flight. I challenge you today to understand that you have to keep fighting. We must realize that there is no way to avoid the battles of life. It is up to us to fight the good fight and don’t give in because it is hard. It is important to remember that the harder the fight, the closer we are to our break through. Our dynamic destiny is tied to the battles we withstand and win. So continue to fight and Be Great!

James A. Bush, Jr. (The Bushinator)

One of the most difficult things everyone has to learn is that for your entire life you must keep fighting and adjusting if you hope to survive. No matter who you are or what your position is you must keep fighting for whatever it is you desire to achieve. ~George Allen

You Are Free to Go!

Daily Grind – You are Free to GO! 6/11/2014

Let’s start this day by letting go of all of our past hurt, guilt, and disappointments. We can begin by completing a self-inventory and asking, “Why am I holding on to the past?” I challenge you today to speak to your past and boldly tell it, YOU ARE FREE TO GO! We can’t continue to let our personal history define who we are or shape our future. Once we take a stand and truly let go of the past, we will free ourselves from the mental, spiritual and emotional bondage that have kept us from our destiny. Then, we can begin to heal within and illuminate the entire world. Be Free and Be GREAT!

Make a Decision!

Daily Grind – Make a Decision! 6/10/2014

At the start of this brand new day, let’s channel our energy into the choices we make. We fall short when we waver or remain indecisive in our actions. I challenge you today to be firm when you make a decision by taking the time to truly think about your options and mapping out as many possibilities as you can. We can no longer afford to sit back and remain idle, waiting on someone else to bail us out because of our fear to make a decision. Let’s find the courage to plant our feet in the ground and stand on what we believe in. Once the smoke clears and the judgment on our decisions have been made, we can be assured that through prayer, and a pure heart, we will be GREAT!

James A. Bush, Jr. (The Bushinator)

DGC - The Beam In Your EYE! 6/9/2014

Daily Grind Classic – The Beam In Your EYE! 6/9/2014

One of the hardest things in the world to do is not judge! We have to remain mindful not to place our black robes on and begin sentencing. In every situation, it’s easy to find fault in others when something goes wrong. It is in these moments that we should consider that for every judgment we make, we are also open to be judged! We all have skeletons in our closets that are waiting to be revealed.  Consider all of the wrong immoral thoughts that you have had the gossip you’ve spread or the hurtful things you have said.  The good news is that in spite of it all, our heavenly father continues to give us grace and mercy. He loves without judgment and allows us a new beginning.  I challenge you today to take a moment, look in the mirror and focus on you. We all have so much work to do on our individual selves that there’s no time to judge or criticize one another. We need to start by  remembering that we are all broken vessels and the only way we can be healed is by asking our father above to forgive and restore us. So before we judge - consider those skeletons, thank our creator for grace and continue to Be Great!

James A. Bush, Jr. (The Bushinator)

Matthew 71DO NOT judge and criticize and condemn others, so that you may not be judged and criticized and condemned yourselves.    2For just as you judge and criticize and condemn others, you will be judged and criticized and condemned, and in accordance with the measure you [use to] deal out to others; it will be dealt out again to you. 3Why do you [a]stare from without at the [b]very small particle that is in your brother's eye but do not become aware of and consider the beam [c]of timber that is in your own eye.  4Or how can you say to your brother, Let me get the tiny particle out of your eye, when there is the beam [d]of timber in your own eye? 5You hypocrite, first get the beam of timber out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the tiny particle out of your brother's eye.

DGC - Time for Your Breakthrough!

Daily Grind Classic – Time for Your Breakthrough! 6/6/2014

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!

Classic - Ask and it Shall Be Given! 6/4/2014

Daily Grind – Ask and it Shall Be Given! 6/4/2014

At the start of this brand new day, it is time that we recognize the omnipotent power of our Father in Heaven. He has given us a blank check to request our desires for a fulfilled life. Today, I DARE you to trust in his words. Go into your prayer closet and ask for what you want. Then believe in God’s word and watch all of your desires come to pass. There have been too many times that we have allowed our pride and doubt to prevent us from asking for assistance. We must be reminded that we are children of the “Most High” and at this very moment, we should open up our minds and hearts to make our requests known. There is nothing too hard for Our Father! Once we ask, we must immediately prepare our spirits for expectancy. Be Bold, Believe and Be Great!

James A. Bush, Jr. (The Bushinator)

Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. ~Mark 11:24

DGC - Search for Your Purpose!

Daily Grind Classic – Search for Your Purpose! 6/4/2014

Every single day of our lives we should be on a quest for our purpose. This is one of the foundations for our wellbeing. Be encouraged to know that we all have a purpose and once discovered our lives will never be the same. Take note that your purpose can only be revealed once you have inner peace.  God is not the author of confusion so while you are searching for your purpose, make sure you’re conscious is clear and prepared for what GOD has for you. You will realize this purpose when money is not a motivation to pursue the passion associated with it.  I challenge you to move in peace, search for your purpose and Be Great!

James A. Bush, Jr. (The Bushinator)

Get It Right! 6/2/2014

Daily Grind – Get It Right! 6/2/2014

At the start of this magnificent week, let’s stand up BOLDLY, allowing change to enter into our hearts and minds. We must remember that we have the AUTHORITY to alter everything that keeps us from being more. I challenge you to today to get it right. It is time that we release all excuses and deficiencies that prevent us from reaching our goals. Today we will get it right! Today we’ll create a new way of thinking and submit ourselves to reaching a higher level of living. Once we decide to get it right, we will be able to receive the many blessings that our Father has stored up for us. So focus on getting things right, stick to the process and continue to Be Great!
