John Christensen’s changed lives through his inspiring words spawned from Seattle’s Pike Place Fish Market during three days in 1988, while he watched, talked and listened to the owners and co-workers enjoy their time on land and sea. These employees inspired Christensen with a zest of life and a vision of individualism – awakened from their slumber only to question their own daily activities; regardless of the Public School of Thought around them.

Be There - on time, ready, willing to be the active person that contributes to the solution; not the problem

Make Their Day – have an open heart and mind for the world around you, and share that mentality with a kind, thoughtful gesture; for no other reason than to make someone else smile

Choose Your Attitude – not your emotional balance, but rather who you want to be right now; pleasant, helpful, a joy to be around

Play - have fun; enjoy breathing, congratulate yourself for not locking the keys in the car, reward yourself for being the best you that God intended you to be

Sounds familiar, right?

Truth is Christensen was about 1,988 years or so late to the party, right?

Before Christensen, there was Christ – There, Making Our Day, He Chose to die for us. And in Him, we Pray.
