The Great Disconnect

Key Points:

  • There are three things you should know about those of us who are directionally challenged.
    1. We don't get lost on purpose. 
    2. You never really know when it happens.
    3. The road I'm on always determines where I end up. 
  • What is so obvious to those watching often escapes us. Others would and could tell us, you should have seen this coming, and what you couldn't see coming you should have been prepared for.

Questions to ask:

  • Are there disconnects in your life?
  • Are there discrepancies between what you desire in your heart and what you are doing with your life?
  • Is there alignment between your intentions and your direction?

I hope you will have the wisdom to know which path to choose and the courage to stay the course.

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...

The Templeton Plan: Step 16

The Templeton Plan is written for those who consider themselves students in the school of total success. It is suggested that you devote yourself to one step each day, over a period of three weeks, Each step should be studied carefully until the following questions can be answered in a satisfactory and thorough manner: What do these ideas really mean? How do they apply to my own life? How can I use their meaning in achieving success? Step 16: Maximizing The Power Of Your Faith   Successful and happy people will try to express their empathy in all circumstances. This means putting yourself inside the minds and hearts of others and feeling the effect your words and attitudes will have on them.  It is wise to say, give me the courage to improve what I can improve, the patience to endure what I cannot improve, and the wisdom to tell the difference between the two. "Never write down what you don't want published. Whatever you say or write should be intended to...

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.  Relationshi...
