Whatever you are, Be a Good One! PDF Print E-mail

Same old, same old.... leads to same old, same old.
 
A few of you have dropped me a note asking me what my hat says above. They are the letters L-I-G which many of you recognize as being from the Life Is Good Series.
www.lifeisgood.com
 
While strolling down Delray Beach's Atlantic Avenue last Saturday evening with my wife, sister and niece, we popped into a store that carried the LIG line and as a book junkie knows no boundaries, 
I exited with a simple book of reminders that Life Is Good for those who want to see it that way.
 
For the next few weeks, I am planning to share some of my findings with you so stay tuned.
On one of the pages there was a simple picture (they are all simple pictures) of a snowman 
with the accompanying phrase:  snow man

 "Whatever you are, be a good one."

I realize this is obvious advice  but how many people do you confront on any given day that are "not" good at what they do?  How many are simply going through the motions long enough, and "just good enough" to cash their next paycheck? How many are down and out lousy at what they do?
 
I am not suggesting that you are good, bad or indifferent. You are who you are and you are what you are. I am strongly suggesting (recommending) that you find a way to get better in both instances (Who & What)
 
If you can't muster up the energy, courage or ambition to get better at who you are and what you are, then perhaps it is time to begin editing and updating your resume. 
 
By the way, the two brothers who founded "Life Is Good" (now multi-millionaires) started out of the back of their truck selling t-shirts for five years before stumbling on the formula that gave people hope and lined their wallets with beaucoup geeters.
 
Some things just take time. (If you need a daily reminder of this fact, just look at any tree in your marketplace. Deep!)
 
Hey! It is Monday and tomorrow I will be 59. Go figure!  I managed to fog my mirror again this morning so I 
guess that means that my life is "still" pretty good.
 
Get up, get out and make somebody's day today, tomorrow, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.  Be special. Become The Exception.
 
"Whatever you choose to be, be a good one."
