Last week we talked about taking the path less traveled and finding ways to get outside of our comfort zone. I mentioned we’d talk about chasing the big hairy audacious goal. And so today is going to be the next step in chasing that goal. When looking at goal setting, anybody can just throw somethingContinue reading “Plan and Prepare”

Outside the Comfort Zone
In life, we have a choice to choose to follow the common path or pick the path less traveled. Through conversation with a buddy of mine, I was reminded of a chapter in the book Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey that dove deeper into this concept. Because the thing is, there’s the path less traveled andContinue reading “Outside the Comfort Zone”
Glass Half Full
When you look at a half-filled glass of water, what do you see? What do you call it? Is it half full or half empty? The choice between the two can be a direct correlation to our perception. “When it comes to difficult circumstances, you have two choices. You can complain about them, or youContinue reading “Glass Half Full”
I Got Issues
Issues. We all have them. Human beings forever have had them. Financial issues, social issues, academic issues. In the words of Julia Michaels, “Cause I got issues, but you got `em too.” They seem to take over. We expect things to go a certain way and they don’t. We hope for something and it doesn’tContinue reading “I Got Issues”
Be an Eagle
Twice in the last couple of weeks, I’ve had two conversations regarding eagles. They are high altitude, dominant birds, and a symbol of power and freedom. But that wasn’t the point in the conversations I had. In both interactions I had, the other person was explaining to me the way of an eagle andContinue reading “Be an Eagle”
The Blacksmith Perspective
The hammer and the anvil, the two pieces of equipment that are used to shape weapons and tools. The purpose of these is pretty well understood. The anvil, the stationary immovable object on which the piece of metal rests as it’s struck by the hammer. The hammer, the tool swung to shape and sharpen theContinue reading “The Blacksmith Perspective”
Life is Hard
The other night, as I was going to bed, I caught myself scrolling through TikTok (as we’ve all probably found ourselves doing more often than we’d like to admit…), but I came across a video snippet from one of Stephen Furtick’s messages at Elevation Church. The video was an analogy of a bouncy ball andContinue reading “Life is Hard”
Let it Go
It’s hard not to think of Elsa and Ana when you read the title words… whether you saw the movie or not you probably sang the title or heard the tune. But what’s so interesting is the phrase is so easy to say, but the meaning behind it is so much bigger and so muchContinue reading “Let it Go”
Tagline Your Life
Excellence honors God. All over the world, we see these taglines marketed to us as a sort of call to action, providing us the momentum to pursue a brand of lifestyle. Nike – Just Do It. Adidas – Impossible is Nothing. Amazon – Everything from A to Z. This got me thinking… What would myContinue reading “Tagline Your Life”
Checkmate
Chess, one of the most widely played board games in history is a game designed of opening moves, set up moves, countermoves and forcing moves where each player attempts to string together a series of plays to beat their opponent. Now chess has never been a game I particularly got into, but I did watchContinue reading “Checkmate”
