The Ripple Effect

Summary:

In the third chapter of Chase the Lion, the main topic is about encounters. We are all one encounter or one move away from fulfilling our inception like destiny.
Don't be too quick to judge a blessing or a curse by its cover. Mismanaged success is the leading cause of failure. Well managed failure is the leading cause of success.
You need to step out into faith and believe that you can't steal second if your foot is still on first. Take a leap of faith to encounter others with potential that you might help them discover their dream as well as yours.
The main plot of this chapter is about the ripple effect; the main topic of this book is about a scripture passage about Benaiah's journey to kill a lion on a snowy day. Benaiah later became King David's head of security(a dream within a dream). The ripple effect comes in when Rahab thousands of years earlier took in Jewish refugees who later spared her life. She was King David's great-great-grandmother. She is also listed in Jesus's Genealogy, the ripple effect she had, had gone across nations and generations.
Whether it be subliminal messages, unique encounters or stories you hear, you never know where you will be impacted from therefore creating a ripple effect.

Biggest Takeaway:

Inciting incidents come in two basic varieties: things that happen to you that you cannot control and things that you make happen that you can control. Of course, even if something is out of your control, you still control your reaction. You might not be responsible, but you are respons-able. And it's the ability to choose your response that will likely determine your destiny.

Quotes:

Great conflict cultivates great character.
The true measure of a gift is what you gave up to give it.
We try to influence others the way we were influenced.

5 Dimensions of Win/Win

Key Points: It begins with character and moves toward relationships, out of which flow agreements. It is nurtured in an environment where structure and systems are based on Win/Win. And it involves process; we cannot achieve Win/Win ends with Win/Lose or Lose/Win means. Character There are three character traits essential to the Win/Win paradigm. Integrity, Maturity, Abundance Mentality. Integrity is the values we place ourselves into. Maturity is the balance between courage and consideration. Abundance Mentality is the paradigm that there is plenty out there for everybody. A character rich in integrity, maturity, and the Abundance Mentality has a genuineness that goes far beyond technique, or lack of it, in human interaction. If we search deeply enough within ourselves-beyond the scripting, beyond the learned attitudes and behaviors- the real validation of Win/Win, as well as every other correct principle, is in our lives.

Chase The Lion

Summary: In the first chapter of Chase the Lion, it speaks of a mighty warrior back in the time of David when he was ruling king. This mighty warrior was Benaiah, and he chased a lion into a pit on a snowy day. His actions on this day is the main theme of the book. You have to imagine yourself chasing a lion into a snowy pit to kill it. How insane do you have to be to do that? In a way, this true story is a parable for our lives in how we should treat that lion like a big dream. There are two types of courage; regular courage and two-o-clock in the morning courage. The two-o-clock in the morning courage has a sense of urgency and crazy to it. We are all one action, one risk, or one decision away from a life-altering moment. At times we are so busy climbing the ladder of success that we fail to realize that it is leaning against the wrong wall. Most people believe in God, but they continue to allow circumstances to get between them and God instead of letting God get b...
