On This Spot

Application in your life:

  • The meaning of On This Spot refers to how each person, as well as each place, has a genealogy. If you look back hundreds of years at a person and geography they both have important details that will help shape the future.
  • Every decision and indecision has a ripple effect way beyond our ability to predict.
  • Although in the last chapter we spoke about moving scenery to experience a different perspective, we also have to understand that we have to be fruitful where we are planted. Wherever you are, there you are!
  • An old adage says," Misery loves company," We can bear just about anything if we don't have to bear it alone.
  • Remember that whatever spot you are in right now, you are meant to be there. Although it may seem difficult, there is a purpose to everything you are doing.

Biggest Takeaway:

  • An opportunity isn't an opportunity if you have to compromise your integrity. It's the decisions when no one is looking that will dictate your destiny. In fact, your integrity is your destiny.

Quotes:

  1. Wherever you are, there you are. Be fruitful where you are planted.
  2. You will look back on this season with fond memories because they forged faith in you.

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.  Relationshi...

Are You A Gap Filler?

 What is Gap Filler You May Ask?  A gap filler is someone who has the ability and awareness to see opportunities and challenges around them, then fill them.  When there is a gap in communication, someone has to fill the void.  When there is a gap in leadership, someone has to fill the void.  When there is a gap in love, someone has to fill the void. When there is a gap in work, someone has to fill the void. It is self-explanatory to understand that a gap filler, fills gaps.  It is also very easy to misunderstand the importance and strength it takes to be a gap filler. Practically this looks like covering a shift of another co-worker, looks like overcommunicating to others that may bring conflict upon yourself, taking the burden of hurt from others and their trama, as well as taking the blame knowingly when another leader falls short.
