Today I am grateful for my daughter, Carmendy.

Love, LoVE, LOVE that blog today! Truly believe the majority of our success is directly tied to stubborn determination to Never Give Up!

So well said and no we are not responsible for sins committed in the past by others.

Kevin Monahan is the best!

This is an interesting topic. No, I don’t believe people who did not commit a crime or offense should be punished. As for the Bible’s perspective, it does seem to contradict itself when it speaks to this saying the “sins of the Father shall be visited to the 3-4th generation”, and then later says “sons shall not be put to death for their fathers etc..”.
However, i don’t see it as contradictory.
My perspective is that without some sort of miracle or intervention we can not escape the future generational impact of our actions either positive or negative. We end up suffering or benefiting greatly for things our ancestors did. (sins of the father shall be visited upon 3-4th generation).
This does NOT mean that we should seek to go punish people for things that they did not do. That is not justice.

The simple answer is no. As I understand the Bible this is also true. This is the dilemma in the above post, how I see it it we are not to judge, fortunately that task was never put on us, but for god to be the final judge. This is why my answer is a no, will there be punishment for the later generations? Maybe, that is what is written.
History is very interesting, unfortunately we sometimes get stuck on one part is one timeframe, to fully understand it we most keep digging deeper in the past. what happened prior to that point of time. What were the living conditions for the previous generation? Would that generation survived if there would of not been any interaction? our history makes us what we are today, we can learn from it, but we don’t have to repeat it or relive it.

Good morning, Larry! Looking forward to your visit on Monday

All to often we tend to point the finger at someone else. I don’t dodge blame myself, I take it like a man!

Today I’m grateful for the team in Indianapolis! They are an amazing group of talent

Today I am grateful for my husband. It’s our 42nd Anniversary Today!!!

I have so many people to be thankful for in my life: my partner, mother, grandmother, church family, and many wonderful friends and colleagues.
Taking responsibility for yourself, your thoughts, and your actions is the most helpful thing you can do for yourself and the people around you. Your messages always resonate with me but you’re really on point this week Larry!

I just wanted to thank my sales team at Klaus Roofing of Ohio. They sold over 57k yesterday and E. Long sold three deals in one day.

Thank you for all the effort you guys put in the training.

Today…I am grateful for U.S. Congressman Scott Perry who leads the Freedom Caucus! He has the fortitude to stand up for all of us who truly appreciate our United States of America!

I too am grateful to have been born to n the USA. I am proud to be an American and Everyday I try to make it a little better than I found it.

Larry, I literally spent an hour and a half talking about this same exact subject right before I opened Think Daily. The world needs both parents in the home. Having both parents show a balance in a home and creates a culture of teamwork during a child’s impressionable years. Often times the mother is the one who makes the child into what they become while the father is creating the revenue to make a stabile home. We need more “dad’s” to step up! Thank you for talking about this, it’s a big issue that needs to be talked about more. We’re to caught up in the daily activities these days to concern ourselves over the youth and that’s sad. 🙁

Dan in Castle Rock, CO. Thanks for all the positive posts.

Good Morning , From Pa

Great “Think Daily” this morning! The desire to “be better” and “do better” and ultimately “win” is what drives me. The only time all is lost is when you quit. To paraphrase Theadore Roosevelt… “ it’s not the critic that counts, credit belongs to the man in the arena, the one that errs, the one that strives to do the deeds.”

Do the deeds…never give up!

Yes! Love the quote – reminds me of “no struggle, no progress” by Frederick Douglas.
Thank you for these daily posts Larry, best way to launch the morning!

Yup, look forward to reading them every day.

Yes you can count on me to read think daily every day. In fact it has been and will continue to be the first thing I look at every day.

You can count on me to read your Think Daily post everyday.

I start every day by reading your messages even if I don’t comment. They serve as a reminder that there are leaders that still care and strive for higher ideals. I find your messages uplifting during these dark times.

Thanks Larry for publishing these, I read them both most everyday and often share to my wife and kids, when I am moved to do so.

Both, every day & I paste into a folder to use when I need advice or inspiration on a topic

I love your Think Daily’s and it’s usually the first thing I read every day! It’s a great way to start a day!

Thanks for the shoutout Larry. I read these every day!

Yes…i read them (unless they are ridiculously long…then i have to admit I’m probably gonna blow them off). Short and sweet…keep ’em comin’ friend! 🙂

ABSOLUTELY!! If I don’t get to read them as soon as they’re posted, I look forward to it until I do! 🙂

I read them to start off my day on the right side of thinking.

I read them every day. Very inspiring, and a great way to start the day!

Always read them thanks for the thoughts and making the time. Much appreciated

I think the most recent difficult thing I’ve had to face is how to learn that it’s okay to have discomfort while doing/experiencing new things. Becoming a new/better version of yourself can be difficult.
