Chain Reaction

Application in your life:

You have probably heard of the domino effect. The effect a single domino has is preposterous. It can knock over another domino double its size. If you start with a regular domino and it knocks over another domino double its size by the thirtieth multiplier it would have the ability to knock over the Eiffel Tower.
Don't despise the day of small beginnings. Every decision we make has a domino effect way beyond our ability to predit or control.
Until you selfishly invest yourself in someone else's dream, you aren't ready for your own.

Biggest Takeaway:

Every decision we make, every risk we take, has a chain reaction. And those chain reactions set off a thousand chain reactions we aren't even aware of. You never know who you may influence, but remember that everything you say, think or do will greatly influence someone somewhere.

Quotes:

An inheritance is what you leave for someone. A legacy is what you leave in someone.
They are not dead who live in the lives they leave behind. In those whom they have blessed, they live a life again.

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...

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.
