Make America Great Again!

Okay,let me be clear,I am not making a political statement here. Trust me ,of all the people you know and come in contact with,very few can rival my lack of interest in the political process.I have however been hearing this phrase over and over as I am sure you have.

Driving around this morning ,I couldn't help to notice that traffic was extra light. It was obvious that a lot of people had started this holiday weekend early and not gone to work today. My radio blared with commercial after commercial announcing Memorial Day deals on every thing from appliances to mattresses to new cars.

Is this how we are gong to make America great again?

Extended holiday weekends and sales on everything imaginable?

Here's what I know, the only way America is going to be great is if we as Americans are great.Each and every one of us. 

I challenge myself constantly to be great. When asked "how are you doing?", I respond great! If I say "okay" or "good" or " getting by" I have no chance of being great. If I don't believe in my greatness,there is no chance for the collective greatness of America.

I spent the rest of the day today, looking for greatness. I asked a number of people how they were. No one was great. I barely got a couple of 

"goods" out of people.

It was depressing.

I watched people walking and working. Every one seemed to be "getting by" . No one's body language exuded greatness.

I watched a snip-it of news tonight and saw what seemed to be more civil disobedience at a political rally. I quickly turned off the t.v. This can't be greatness.

Here's what I know.....I can't make any one else great.I have plenty on my hands making myself great. And I will continue to do just that every day.I strive daily for great.

I feel great,. I look great.I am great.

Just ask me.....I'll tell you!
