What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?  Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?  We have all been in situations where someone wants you to give over 100%.  How about achieving 101%? What equals 100% in life? Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions:

If A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z is represented as 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 then:

H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K = 97% (8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11)

K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E = 96% (11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5)

A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E = 100% (1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5)

But look how far the love of God will take you

L-O-V-E- O-F -G-O-D = 101% (12+15+22+5+15+6+7+15+4)

So we can conclude with mathematical certainty that: While hard work and knowledge will get you close, and attitude will get you there, it's the "Love of God" that will put you over the top!

MAY YOU BE 101% BLESSED TODAY!

In the year of Google's 10th anniversary, they've introduced a program called Project 10¹⁰⁰ where Google encourages people to get outside and help others, instead of just sticking to their own needs. Submissions for the contest sid eof things close on October 20th, and voting will be open on January 27th, where the grand prize of $10 million will be awarded to the project that seems most likely to succeed and help the most people.  See the homepage for details.

Everybody makes a difference everyday.  The question is what kind of difference.  As you travel through each day, what are you doing to enrich the lives of others?  What are you doing to show you care, to show respect, or to show your passion?  I own a copy of Mark Sanborn's book, "The Fred Factor" and recommend it as required reading for life.  One of the great tips in Sanborn's book is to "practice random acts of kindness -- everyday."  What can you do-great or small-to show kindness to someone else today?

For those looking for something to do, I would like to introduce "Life'sPassion," at lifespassion.org.  It will soon be a community contributed home for your stories about the passion in your life.

What's your passion?

"Had this been real life, you would have been instructed where to go and what to do."

This is a great reminder that life is not just about going to work and learning in school, but also about growing, living and loving. Growing in your personal relationships, living each day to its fullest and loving others in the same way Christ loves us.  Each part of your day--the commute to work, your walk to class, the man or woman you ordered coffee from at your favorite morning pit-stop, the computer that crashes, your phone that dropped that very important call--is part of a test, a really big test.  This test will be graded one day to determine who you are, and what you're made of.

What grade will you get?
