Plow The Field Larry Godwin

You ever feel like you have all these great ideas but you just can't get started?  Maybe you're too nervous, too afraid, or just too lazy.  Whatever keeps you from exploding out of the blocks to start your race, all you need is 8 seconds to make a difference.  The first 8 seconds of anything is enough to make you a champion or keep you on the couch.  It's up to you.  Today's episode explores a simple method that you can employ today. Who knows, it may take you straight to the top.

This is not one of my typical episodes.  It's not about humorous sayings or principles for living or anything like that.  It's about dead men and women lying in a box in the ground.  It's about those that didn't make it home because they were never found.  It's about the kids that had the balls to storm a beach knowing they were about to face hell on earth.  And they did it any way.  Some did it because they were told too.  Some did it because of a sense of duty and honor.  Others did it for their brothers, who in a few short minutes would die right beside them on that sandy beach, far from home.  Regardless of why they did it, the point is they did it.  They charged onto that beach and all hellfire was loosed on them. They did it, and they died.  And they deserve our respect, our gratitude, and they deserve our thanks.

My words today took shape early this morning because my spirit was restless, waking me up with the dead on my mind.  I tried mightily to shake this feeling of dread.  It was a feeling like I had lost my best friend to a terrible tragedy.

In today's world, everybody gets a participation trophy.  But, the reality is and has always been - no one owes you anything, so snap out of your stinkin' thinkin'.  We need to have a hard conversation.  We need to talk about an uncomfortable truth that may go against what you may have been taught by well meaning, well intentioned people.  The bottom line is if you want something, don't be jealous of other people's stuff.  Work for it and earn it, and Plow The Field.

What's your name worth?  Is it more valuable than gold or do you deserve to rot?  Seem harsh?  Not really.  This episode of Plow The Field explores one of the worst mistakes anyone can make - destroying their good name.  So how do you repair your Reputation Score if it plummets?  Find out in this episode of Plow The Field - a podcast that helps you prepare for rain.

I was born in a war zone, barely escaped communism, and raised in the land of freedom. I've lived an interesting life while experiencing the crap and crown of America's land of opportunity. But no matter how bad things may have gotten, I'm in America where there's always hope. Through favor and talents from the Almighty, pollenated by a strong work ethic from my mom, I was able to plow the field and reap the fruits of the possible.  This is the first episode of Plow The Field.
