Website Launched!

Head over to KaciKust.com to check out my new website I launched today!

WILD CARD WEEKEND

It’s Wild Card Weekend, and the Bengals are facing the Texans this afternoon. 

Now allow me to blow your mind with this stat:

• Wild Card weekend winners have won the Super Bowl 7 times, including the Packers last year. At least 1 Super Bowl participant in 5 of the past 6 years has played in a Wild Card game.

Happy Wild Card Weekend! WHO DEY!

Make it count.

“Now to him that is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to Him be glory…” – Ephesians 3:20

Goodbye 2011, Hello 2012.

Do more than what you’re told to do.

Try new things.

Fewer distractions, more focus.

Take breaks.

Make work into play.

Love what you do, or leave.

Less negativity, more encouragement.

“Do you know that nothing you do in this life will ever matter unless it is about loving God and loving the people he has made?” – Francis Chan

More prayer.

Be fearless.

Trust Him enough to leave it in His hands.

“Decide what you want, decide what you are willing to exchange for it. Establish your priorities and go to work.”

Be yourself.

How we spend our days, is how we spend our lives. 

Thought of the day

The critical question for our generation-and for every generation- is this: If you could have heaven, with no sickness, and with all the friends you ever had on earth, and all the food you ever liked, and all the leisure activities you ever enjoyed, and all the natural beauties you ever saw, all the physical pleasures you ever tasted, and no human conflict or any natural disasters, could you be satisfied with heaven, if Christ was not there? – John Piper

Why people are so passionate about sports. Genius.

“Sport is where an entire life can be compressed into a few hours, where the emotions of a lifetime can be felt on an acre or two of ground, where a person can suffer and die and rise again on six miles of trails through a New York City park. Sport is a theater where sinner can turn saint and a common man become an uncommon hero, where the past and the future can fuse with the present. Sport is singularly able to give us peak experiences where we feel completely one with the world and transcend all conflicts as we finally become our own potential.”

- George A. Sheehan

Merry Christmas!

The real reason for the season:

“For unto us a child is born, a son is given, and he will be called Almighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” -Isaiah 9:6

But this doesn’t hurt either:

My boys are back. Go Bulls! Merry NBA Christmas!

Things You Learn in Your 20′s

-If you’re smiling right now, you’re doing something right.

-It’s not so much what you say that counts, it’s how you make people feel.

-The biggest mistake you can make is doing nothing because you’re scared to make a mistake.

-No matter how it turns out, it always ends up just the way it should be.  Either you succeed or you learn something.  Win-Win.

-Freedom is the greatest gift.  Self-sufficiency is the greatest freedom.

-If you catch yourself working hard and loving every minute of it, don’t stop.  You’re on to something big.  Because hard work ain’t hard when you concentrate on your passions.

-It’s not about getting a chance, it’s about taking a chance.  You’ll rarely be 100% sure it will work.  But you can always be 100% sure doing nothing won’t work.  Sometimes you just have to go for it!

-Complaining is like slapping yourself for slapping yourself.  It doesn’t solve the problem, it just hurts you more.

-The one with nothing to hide is always the one left standing tall.

-You can press forward long after you can’t.  It’s just a matter of wanting it bad enough.

-There’s a big difference between knowing and doing.  Knowledge is basically useless without action.

-In work and business, when they need you more than you need them, you have succeeded.

-Everything that happens in life is neither good nor bad.  It just depends on your perspective.

-We are all weird.  And life is weird.  And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we call it love.

-True friendship and true love do sustain the tests of distance and time.

-You can’t change who you are.  You can only change what you know and how you apply this knowledge.

-It is okay to be angry.  It is never okay to be cruel.

-Even when you feel like you have nothing, someone else likely has far less.  Find them and help them.  You’ll see why.

-Having a thousand credentials on the wall will not make you a decent human being.  But genuinely helping one person everyday will. Remember, change happens for a reason.  Roll with it.  It won’t be easy, but it will be worth it.
