The Secret About The Secret
Wednesday, July 16th, 2008Let’s talk about the secret and the law of attraction. It has nothing to do with religion and every thing to do with spirituality. It has to do with your relationship to God.
I want to let you in on a little secret: Right now, in this very present moment of now, you have, within you, the power and ability to create your life in any manner that you choose.
Did you know that?
If you do know this are you creating whatever you desire into your life? And if you don’t know this, would you like to learn how to create whatever you desire into your life?
Foundational Characteristics Of Missional Leaders
Friday, April 11th, 2008One of my favorite leadership books is “Be, Know, Do: Leadership the Army Way” by Frances Hesselbein and General Eric K. Shinski (USA Ret.) This book takes a close look at the official Army Leadership Manual and applies its principles to the corporate and civic leadership realms. Here is the Army’s definition of leadership, “Leadership is influencing people, by providing purpose, direction, and motivation while operating to accomplish the mission and improving the organization”. (pg 5) This definition has three words that stand out to me: influencing, operating and improving. Influencing: motivating and loving others in the mission for the mission. Operating: creating plans, developing systems and managing their execution so that the mission is achieved. Improving: adding value to those around you and to the organization for the betterment of the mission.
Time Management In Christ
Monday, March 24th, 2008Whether we worry about time, or timing, it doesn’t matter. They both belong to God. To worry excessively about how our future might work out is as futile as it is disobedient.
Let’s not dwell on what kind of people we might be someday, but rather, let’s live for Christ, in Christ today. It’s easy to imagine ourselves as something impressive sometime later, but it is better to obey the Lord right now. So it goes that God’s grace always requires reality-based action, which will continue to seem excessively difficult to us as long as we are impressed with imaginary greatness.
