Let's be honest... many times in life we make excuses for why we didn't or couldn't do something, when we really just need to make an adjustment to make it happen. It might mean a different method, a different time schedule, a different approach, but that adjustment allows us to make it happen...
Seriously, we need to watch what we say. Words can cut deep. Words can do costly damage. But words can also bring hope & healing. So control your tongue and make it construct, not destruct...
Doing the right thing, going the extra mile, being honest, being fair, being positive, being different isn't always going to be easy, but do it anyway.
Christopher Columbus was right when he said "you'll never cross the ocean until you have the courage to lose sight of the shore". We MUST be willing to lose sight of the familiar and the comfortable if we're going to reach our destiny!
In our house, when an argument, frustration, or discouragement comes up, we put it thru the 5 - 5 - 5 filter. Is it going to matter in 5 minutes? 5 hours? 5 days? And most of the time this eliminates or at least minimizes the issue at hand.
No one will move for you. Whether it's physical body movement. action at work, or leadership at home, it's your move. It's up to you.
Here's the freedom question... who do you need to forgive? Forgiveness is not about setting that other person free, it's about letting go of that ball and chain, and setting yourself free!
Let's be real... at some point, everyone has one of "those" mornings. We just have a bad start, nothing goes right. When it happens, what is your reset?
We all have it in common. From midnight to midnight, we all have 86,400 seconds. What are you going to MAKE happen in your 86,000 seconds?
More often then not, when all else fails, perseverance prevails. But at the same time, there are times we need to stop, refocus, pivot, and go a new direction. At your crossroads, which is it for you?
Everything in life has two sides. Every decision, every argument, every task, and every relationship. Too often we get stuck on one side, oblivious to the fact that there's another side to see. FLIP THE COIN. See both sides. Then decide.
