What I want to talk to you today is about the enthusiasm to get better. But I'd like to ask these to you, do you even want to be better? Would you rather be comfortable with what you have and stay in mediocrity?
In order for us to become better, we got a community around us. We got to be around people who will sharpen us, push us to be better, call us out for our blind spots, etc. The only way, I mean the ONLY way we are gonna be all God calls us to be is to live in a community.

I gotta be honest with you. Some of you need a little bit of that work ethic. Some of you need to breathe that into your children. Some of you need to teach them that they are not entitled - that you are not going to give everything. Listen, the harder you work the blessed you get - that's why I have titled this "A little bit of effort goes a long way." I just want to encourage you guys today that when you teach your children or grandchildren to work is not gonna kill 'em.

Listen, we spend so much time criticizing! You know what we do? Our meals are not right at the restaurant and the first thing we say is, "Hey! Bring me the manager!" and you complain. And when that steak is delicious, how of you say, "Hey! I want to see the manager! Man, let me just tell you right now that steak was unbelievable and the customer service here is impeccable!" I promise you guys that will get you a lot further than complaining about your meal if you will reach out and tell people what great service they do.

No, I am not always happy because of some reasons but I will say that the majority of the time, I am happy! The reason I am happy is because I choose to be happy! Yes, there are some things that we do not desire that happen but that's life. They are part of it. But what we do with those or how we deal with those things is what matter. Life is too short! Look for the good! It is everywhere!

A lot of us are afraid of telling our story. Thinking that nobody is interested in our story. We need to know that we have got a story to tell and somebody needs to hear it. Somebody can benefit from our story.
