OCTOBER 8, 2021
From one “Guy” to another “Guy”, yours truly, “The Elevator Guy.” has had the honor of meeting and playing a few holes of golf a number of years ago, with one of Nebraska’s own, “Larry the Cable Guy.” An American stand-up comedian, actor, producer, country music artist, former radio personality, husband, and father; his real name is Daniel Lawrence Whitney from small town Pawnee City, Nebraska. (Population 1,077). In my brief time with Dan, I found him to be; not only a funny, warm and engaging character, but a truly humble, loving and caring man who continues to bring laughter and love to many around the world. He has been one of Nebraska’s greatest philanthropists and influencers of laughter. He has established the “Git-R-Done” Foundation which is highly dedicated to helping children and veterans, “one cause at a time.”
I love to use his famous catchphrase, “Git-R-Done,” which basically means to give 100 percent. We like to say, “Do your best in any situation.” “Whatever you do, Git-R-Done.” (Do your best at any given time) Just another way for saying “Cowboy up” or “Just do it.” I also love to use action words to help others “Git-R-Done.” So, here is an attempt at using “GIT-R-DONE” with words:
G = Grow Are you growing with your Faith, your Family, and your Career? If not, you may become stuck in life. Forgive (Yourself and others) and move on.
I = Inspire Who do you inspire? Try inspiring yourself in order to inspire others. (One of our Daily 7)
T = Teach What are you “Learning” about life? Be a constant learner unless you think you know it all. (One of our Band of Brother themes)
- – Dash is the pause we should take daily, to prioritize the important things in life and remember to; “begin with the end in mind.”
R = Respect Who do you respect? Start with yourself and move on with others.
- – Dash is another reminder to renew, refresh, and reflect on where you are going in life. Make it a good path. (Part of our EG Slogan)
D = Differentiate Be different because God made you unique for a reason. Find your purpose and your calling. (Part of our EG Slogan)
O = Originate Be an original and an independent thinker by not following the crowd. You were made for more.
N = Navigate Life is difficult…. But life is still good. Navigate life with those you love and that love you. (Two of our Daily 7)
E = Energize Life takes energy. In order to get things done, you need to be energized yourself in order to energize and lead others.
What are you learning in order to Git-R-Done? Start by laughing at yourself, then, by having some fun because “Fun Gets Done.”
