Four Awesome Ideas to Level-Up and Design a Better Life!
Hey everyone!
This is my favorite time of the year. I love the fall, and I love Thanksgiving. It’s great to be around family, friends, football and food.
I try to bring positvity and kindness to the world to help others through the hardships and stress they are experiencing in their lives. My life is far from perfect, but I cannot imagine a better time in history to live. Seriously! I need reminded of this myself from time to time. Too often we focus on the negative. That can be contagious. While I am a super-positive guy, things wear me down too. That’s why we have our circles and check in on one another. When you are up, check on everyone else and vice versa.
I hope this newlsetter brings something useful and positive to you.
Something great is truly around the next corner for you, now here are 4 Ideas to Knock Around:
- Quote I’m Reflecting on: “You are responsible for you: the good, the bad, and the ugly. You must own all of it.” ~Callie Bundy This quote speaks to me! We cannot count on other people, outside events, things, the future or anything else to change our situation. We cannot even be hopeful of that! We are responsible for our happiness, how we feel, what we have, and everything else, and we need to own all of that. Start now. (Share this on Twitter)
- A New Facebook Group for My New Book: Social media doesn’t interest me much anymore, but the private Facebook Group I created for my second book Unthink Before Bed sure was a lot of fun. It started with 25 people who all ended up being named in the book and then grew beyond 450 members for the launch of the book. It was a lot of fun and so helpful as I worked on the book. Well, I’m changing the name of the group and announcing a new children’s book that I’m working on. The new group is titled: Start With an Awesome Attitude, a book by Kelly Croy. You can join by clicking here to request to be a member. The working title for my new book is Start With an Awesome Attitude, and yes, it is all about attitude, and yes, my dog Jedi will be a part of it. Attitude was the first chapter of my first book Along Came a Leader, and now the subject of this fun children’s book. Joining the private Facebook group will give you a behind-the-scenes peek at my progress and some opportunities to participate, and you might even make it inside the book. It’s fun.

- Speaking at Cherry Street Mission this Christmas: I have been invited to speak at the Cherry Street Mission in Toledo, Ohio this Christmas. I am blessed each year to speak at schools, corporations, organizations, fundraisers and other events, but this opportunity to speak at the Cherry Street Mission gives me an incredible feeling of gratitude and happiness. The Cherry Street Mission feeds people, clothes people, and helps the neediest people in our communities. As we all prepare to gather and give thanks, I hope you will consider sending The Cherry Street Mission some words of thanks, encouragement, and maybe even a small donation to help them make a difference.

- 10×10 Grid Tracker: I was recently inspired to created a simple 10×10 grid in my journal to help keep myself accountable. I wrote down ten simple habits I wanted to track for ten days. That’s it. Well, the results were less than impressive. I was NOT very consistent, so I did it for another ten days. I did better, but I still missed more than I wanted. I am now on my third stretch but making more improvement. I encourage you to give it a shot. Again, these were pretty easy habits, but ones that would benefit myself and others. I “thought” I was doing them okay, but now I “know” I need to do better. Knowing what you need to work on is a game-changer.
I hope a few of you will hit reply to this email and share your thoughts. I answer every email eventually.
Keep being awesome.
