Daily Grind - Change Your Position!

Daily Grind – Change Your Position!  7/31/2014

As we come to the end of this month, we are presented with an opportunity to alter our situation for the better.  Now is the time to focus on where we want to be and not where we are. I challenge you today to change your position! Be mindful that nothing will happen for us if we don’t put in the work. It is our time to flip the script in our lives by consistently working, without ceasing, on our road to success. In order to change our position, we must first move past our ordinary and extend ourselves to extraordinary. Start today with giving your best effort by becoming unwavering in the goals that you set for yourself and you’ll notice a position change from good to Great. Be Great!

James A. Bush, Jr. (The Bushinator)

You have to rely on your preparation. You got to really be passionate and try to prepare more than anyone else, and put yourself in a position to succeed, and when the moment comes you got to enjoy, relax, breathe and rely on your preparation so that you can perform and not be anxious or filled with doubt. ~Steve Nash

Classic - Act Like a Champion! 7/30/2014

Daily Grind Classic– Act Like a Champion!  7/30/2014

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, stand up and act like a champion by finding a way to defeat our inner battles. It starts by being Great!

Classic - Sing Your Song! 7/29/2014

Daily Grind Classic– Sing Your Song! 7/29/2014

At the start of this work week, let’s allow our actions to display the tune that’s in our hearts. If things are bad, we should not look at our present circumstances to determine the beat of our movement, for it is only temporary, but rather we should be upbeat, hearing the sound of victory that’s coming our way. I challenge you today to sing that sweet song that’s in your heart. Once we concentrate on the song within, we have the strength to ignore when the enemy attempts to change the station. For we reside in perfect peace! So lift up your head, strut your stuff and resonate the beat that’s in your heart. Be Joyful and Be GREAT!

DGC- In Your Control of Your Destiny! 7/28/2014

Daily Grind Classic – In Control of Your Destiny! 7/28/2014

Begin this day knowing that you regulate where you end up in life. We all experience circumstances that are totally out of our hands. We can’t choose our parents or the conditions in which we grow up; however, we do possess the power to design the lifestyle we want to live. We must keep in mind that it doesn’t matter where you start but it’s all about where you finish. I challenge you today to accept the power you have to control your destiny. No one has promised that the road to success would be easy, so in this moment, there are no excuses. Allow the resistance you face to mold you into who you are destined to be. We all own a natural ability to be good, but when we open ourselves to the FATHER’s supernatural blessing; we can show the universe that we are GREAT!

James A. Bush, Jr. (The Bushinator)

DGC - The Center of Your Attention! 7/24/2014

Daily Grind Classic– The Center of Your Attention! 7/24/2014

As we begin another work week, let’s concentrate on the areas in our lives where there is need for improvement. We don't need to wait until next month to start a new year’s resolution of self enhancement and transformation. Let’s start NOW! I challenge you today to center your attention to work on just one character flaw. It is time that we take personal inventory and remove at least one thing that restricts us from being our best selves. Once we center our attention on overcoming that one area, we will not only start to feel better about ourselves but will see a positive change in our personal relationships. So let's focus on changing one thing and Being Great!

DGC - Pressure Your Peers! 7/23/2014

Daily Grind – Pressure Your Peers! 7/23/2014

On this new day, we are obligated to inspire the people we come in contact with. It is our job to make an impact on others and influence change in them. I challenge you today to positively pressure your peers. If we want to see transformation in others, we must provide an example for them to follow. Today we must start a new trend by holding our friends accountable for their actions. Once we set a high standard for our character, those around us will shift their behavior and rise to the occasion or remove themselves from our circle. Keep in mind that it is imperative that we encourage and show patience during this process. We have the power, and the duty, to positively pressure our peers to Be Great!

 Today marks the moment that we must speak the life we want into existence. It is time to edify ourselves by reciting affirmations into our lives.

Classic - You Deserve The Best! 7/18/2014

DAILY GRIND CLASSIC– You Deserve The Best!  7/18/2014

At the start of this brand new day before, it is imperative that we take a new stand and claim a new fame. With everything that this life has to offer, our expectations should be to experience the finer things. I challenge you today to know in your heart that you deserve the BEST in everything! It is important to note that when we expect the best, we must affirm that entitlement by giving our best. It is time to stop settling for leftovers and accepting hand me downs. We should take our rightful place as children of the High King, knowing that we are Royalty. When we acknowledge and accept whose we are, we will reaffirm our status through our actions. Know your worth and BE GREAT!

DGC - Significant Moments!

Daily Grind Classic - Significant Moments! 7/17/2014

 If we take a snapshot of our lives, we will find that our most significant moments include interactions with family and friends. It doesn't matter the amount of zeros at the end of our bank accounts, the number of employees we manage, the size of our home or the price of the car we drive. What really matters are the relationships we’ve developed with people around us. I challenge you today to embrace your significant moments and make the most of your relationships while there’s still a chance. When we reflect on our past and the times that were really magical, we can be reminded that it was the people, and not the possessions, that made those moments so special.  Remember your significant moments and Be Great!

Don't Just Talk About It, Be About It! 7/16/2014

Daily Grind Classic – Don’t Just Talk About It, Be About It! 7/16/2014

On this fresh new day, let’s hold each other accountable for not only our words but more importantly, our actions. Think about it; anybody can say anything. However, those that bring their words to life with their actions truly experience the fruits of life. I challenge you today to shift things in your favor and don’t TALK about it, BE about it! If our word is bond, we should be speaking action and greatness into our lives. Let’s not put ourselves in a position to get called out on the carpet for the things that we say and then try to moon walk ourselves out of the situation because we did not do what we said. From this point forward, whatever we SAY, we must DO! Let’s get back to our foundation of allowing our words to be TRUE and our actions to be the LAW. Remember to always UNDER promise but OVER deliver with our words and our actions. BE GREAT!

Daily Grind Classic– You Deserve It!  7/15/2014

There are times in our lives when things just happen to fall into place and everything we do works in our favor. Unfortunately, we often feel as if we’re not worthy of the good fortunes that have come upon us. I challenge you today to recognize that you are a child of God and you DESERVE THE BEST! Now is the time for us to identify the magnitude of our inheritance as children of the KING and begin to expect the best out of every moment in our lives. We must remember that all things work together for good to them that love GOD, to them who are called according to his purpose. Go after the best and Be Great - - - You Deserve it!

Daily Grind – A Way Out of No Way! 7/14/2014

Let’s start this day with HOPE, believing that regardless of what we see, there is something better waiting at the end. It is time that we exercise a pure FAITH that keeps us unmovable during the trials of life. I challenge you today to know that Our Father will ALWAYS make a way out of no way! It is not by chance that you are still here today. When we glance back on our past, we should be amazed and grateful that we have made it this far. Our present circumstances may appear to be a bit overwhelming, but we should be encouraged, knowing that every storm has an expiration date. We must hold on to this small glimmer of Hope, for therein lies our way out of no way. Be Great!

Daily Grind Classic – Celebrate Your Uniqueness! 7/11/2014

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. 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!

We All Make Mistakes! 7/10/2014

Daily Grind Classic - We All Make Mistakes! 7/10/2014

While we maneuver through this life, it is important that we realize there are going to be times when we make mistakes. There is no way we can make every shot, catch every pass or get a hit every time we are up to bat. Simply put, to “err is human”. This is not to say that we should settle for less. However, when mistakes are made, our efforts should not be questioned. Perfection only comes when we reach heaven. I challenge you today to practice for perfection with the complete understanding that mistakes will happen. Many of us remain stagnant for fear of committing errors. Often times when mistakes occur, we are conditioned to find fault or place blame. Let’s encourage each other to rise above and move forward. Remember, error is not always intentional. While others cry over spilled milk, we should be grabbing the towels to clean it up. So understand that mistakes happen, search for solutions and Be Great!

DG - Going Through the Process! 7/9/2014

Daily Grind – Going Through the Process! 7/9/2014

At the top of this magnificent day, let’s charge our hearts and minds to be prepared to stay the course in whatever endeavor we experience. It is time we develop the patience and endurance to understand that we cannot get to it, if we don’t go through it. I challenge you today to accept the experience of going through the process. In order for us to obtain the next level of our abundant life, it is critical to understand that there is a process that we must go through. We cannot continue to think that we can microwave success or instantaneously receive our reward. Instead, we must be willing and determined to go through the process with the understanding that at the end of the journey, we will be GREAT!

 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!

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!

I challenge you today to be so confident in your abilities that you know YOU CAN and YOU WILL overcome any obstacle you face!  Now is the time to put on the armor of GOD and fight to the finish. You can’t win if you continue to allow the pressures of life to bully you around. You must take a stand, understanding that VICTORY is yours if you only believe in yourself. Let go of the doubt and stop listening to the naysayers. You must use every ounce of positive energy into changing your circumstances. You can and you will because you are GREAT!

DG - Commitment Is Not a Feeling!

Daily Grind – Commitment Is Not a Feeling! 7/1/2014

On this day, let’s press forward with tenacity by pledging to give 100% to whatever we believe in. We all need to ask ourselves, “Where I would be if I only committed to the process?”. I challenge you today to know that commitment is not a feeling but an action that should not wavier until the job is completed. We should not just exercise our full energy and passion when it is convenient for us. Instead, we should commit ourselves to be the best in everything we do. There will be times when our talents are not enough and like the energizer bunny, we must be committed to  keep going, going, and going! So today, set your goals and be committed to reach them, knowing that at the end of our journey, we will be GREAT!
