JumpStart TAKING GOD'S NAME IN VAIN

Exodus 20:7 says “Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.” If we say something like, “God wouldn’t help me,” or, “This is too big even for God,” we limit God’s power to transform our lives... The JumpStart Today question is: How are you taking God’s name as if it has no value by speaking words that limit God? Leave your response in the comments below.

JumpStart FROG SANDWICHES

If you want to master procrastination, the key is to understand the true cost of waiting versus the cost of taking action. If you’ve got something you need to handle, the pain of handling it will be much less than the aggregate pain of living with it day after day. The JumpStart Today question is: What are you putting up with that you’d be better off handling now? Leave your response in the comments below.

JumpStart A FACEBOOK LIFE

When we surround ourselves with positive people either in life or on social media, we reap the benefits of their positive energy. The JumpStart Today question is: Who is the happiest, most positive person you know? Leave your response in the comments below.

JumpStart REINCARNATION

Our Divine Purpose is to figure this life out. That is, figure out how to live the best we can for others and ourselves. Be reincarnated now into a new life by letting the stuff you did in the past go. The JumpStart Today question is: What are you going to do today that will bring good karma for tomorrow? Leave your response in the comments below.

JumpStart AUTHENTIC LIVING

FIRST— do the hardest thing a person can do, discover your own truth. SECOND— Live it; walk the talk. Every day, in every way live the truth of your highest self. The JumpStart Today question is: What great wisdom do you have that you are not putting into your life? Leave your response in the comments below.

JumpStart WINNING

I recently took my daughter Lia to a #HarlemGlobetrotters game. As we watched the game, I kept thinking about the players on the other team that travels with the Globetrotters. The #Globetrotters walk in every night expecting to win and the Generals walk in every night knowing that they’ll lose.... The JumpStart Today question is: Are you a General or #Globetrotter? Are you starting today expecting to win or to lose? Leave your response in the comments below.

JumpStart VIVE LA DIFFÉRENCE

My wife Marti and our daughter Starr own InBliss yoga here in Kansas City. There are a lot of reasons these two lights shine so bright but I think it’s because of their decision to be different from all of the other yoga studios AND to be different in ways that are important to them. They call it the 3 “S”s— Spirituality, Snacks and Savasana. The French saying, “Vive La Différence” means “Long Live the Different.” Life is found in what is different. The JumpStart Today question is: What’s YOUR Difference? Leave your response in the comments below.

JumpStart YOUR TINGLE

Did you know that just 100 years ago fully 90% of people NEVER brushed their teeth? Pepsodent was just like every other toothpaste but with a slight difference— your mouth would tingle. As your great grandparents brushed with Pepsodent, they get used to the tingle and started to crave it every day. This craving lead to the habit of brushing— which was passed down to us and is a relatively new idea. The JumpStart Today question is: What’s YOUR tingle? What makes YOU unique? Leave your response in the comments below.

JumpStart THE GOOD WORD

When I was a boy, we’d often visit my grandparents in the small town of Manning, South Carolina, where my grandfather owned a hardware store. One of my favorite people was an old man named Willy. Whenever someone said, “Hi, Willy.” Willy’s response would always be, “What’s the good word?” Our JumpStart Today question is obvious: What’s the Good Word? What are you happy, excited or passionate about? Leave your answer in the comments below.
