A while back, Hardee’s had a tagline in their commercials, “If you’re gonna go, go all out!” One of those commercials pictures a grandmother with her grandson sitting on the front porch swing looking at a family photo album. With each page turn, the grandson asks, “Who is that?” and the grandmother tells stories about that particular family member.
Eventually, they come to a page where the Grandmother gives a different answer. “That was your uncle Henry. When we were kids, your uncle Henry was playing hide-and-go-seek with the rest of us kids right here in this yard. For some reason, your Uncle Henry was never found. Nobody ever knew what happened to him.”
About that time this old guy jumps out from underneath the front porch and dances around shouting, “I win! I win!” The voiceover announces, “If you’re gonna, go all out!”
That is a good philosophy for life. “If you’re gonna go, go all out!” Do not pittle your life away. Never settle, live with enthusiasm, and turn the world upside down!
Never settle for what life hands you. Instead, go out and get it.
Do not settle for a mediocre marriage, put forth the effort to have an extraordinary marriage.
Do not settle for a mediocre job. Have a job that fits your abilities and passions (sometimes this means changing jobs, sometimes this means changing you) and creates a strong sense of fulfillment in you.
Do not settle for a mediocre faith, fall radically in love with the one who is radically in love with you…Jesus!
Do not settle for a mediocre life, live a life full of passion and purpose that is a full life; an abundant life; a real, eternal life and a more and better life than you ever dreamed of! Live life to the fullest!
Live with enthusiasm! Live life in such a way that you cannot wait to get up in the morning and experience your day. Make the most of every moment. This day is your day, make it the best day ever!
Turn the world upside down! Do something that makes a positive difference in the world. Give of your time, your talents, and your treasure (money). This is how we turn the world upside down! Living life to the fullest is not about being self-indulgent, it is about being self-sacrificing. It is about seeking ways to please God and help other people.
When you discover what your passion and purpose are and understand the talents God has given you then use those for God’s glory.
It is not about you. It is about God and what he wants us to do with what he has given us.
If you are gonna go, go all out! Do not hold anything back. Leave it all on the field. Live in such a way that at the end of your life you can say, “It is finished.” For there are no sadder words than these, “What might have been?”
How are you “going all out?”
I’m Tommy Lanham and I use speaking and coaching to bring the power of enthusiasm to those who are ready to inspire their fire!
I’m on a mission to break the monotony of the mundane and mediocre by bringing as much enthusiasm to as many businesses, ministries, marriages and individual lives as I possibly can. I am a 6th grade flunky and was kicked out of college. I did end up finishing but it was a struggle! Almost 20 years later, I decided to try college again after developing the tools of effective goal-setting, personality strategy and an enthusiasm mindset. This time, I graduated with his Master’s degree and a 4.0 GPA!
Now, I’m an award-winning speaker, personality strategist, and author. I speak nationally but call Kentucky my home. I’ve been told I ooze enthusiasm. I travel around the country to deliver my enthusiastic and passionate story of hope, overcoming failure and mindset transformation. My goal is to entertain and energize audiences to achieve extraordinary results and live a life of success beyond what they ever dreamed possible.
I’m dedicated to helping you make your next event the best you’ll ever experience.
