Choose Wisely

One of the quotes I remember from the Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade movie comes from a Knight in a cave after Indiana Jones drinks from the chalice that gives eternal life.  (Now that would be a nervous moment.)

After Indiana nervously sips the Knight says “You have chosen wisely”.

We don’t have a wise knight to tell us that each day but it is a good reminder to take some time before making important decisions.

Tips to making wise decisions:

1) Be patient
2) Stay calm
3) Consult trusted friends
4) Examine the situation and the long term ramifications of some of the decisions we have to make.
5) Take responsibility for your decision.

The decisions we make will not only affect us personally but those that we work with, lead, and serve.

Choose Wisely!

I’m cheering for you.

Born For More

Are you settling for whatever comes your way?

Are you letting what happens to you dictate your attitude and the direction of your life?

Don’t settle! You were born for more. If you have a genuine desire to do something that could positively impact others then find a way to do it.

Commit to pursuing your passion and fully using the talents and gifts that you have been given.

You may need to start small, but start. Don’t worry about having everything figured out. It will work itself out.

The world needs more dreamers and doers.

Think you have more to give?
Me too.

Let’s go.

I’m cheering for you.

Dream!

Many dreams don’t make it out of the “thinking about it” stage.

Why?

We tell ourself:

It’s too risky.
It’s not the right time.
It will be uncomfortable.
I probably couldn’t do it anyway.
It’s not the right time.
I’m too old to dream.
I don’t have enough experience.

Excuses derail more dreams than the consequences of the dreams.

If you dream about it, if you’re willing to put work into your dreams then you have a chance of living life on your terms.

There are no guarantees except that if you don’t dream and if you fill your life with excuses then you will have no chance of doing anything but watching others have their dreams come true.

Don’t be a spectator to other people’s dreams. Have your own dreams, have a plan and then work the plan toward your dreams, but it all starts with your dream.

I’m cheering for you.

Guess Who?

Remember playing guessing games like charades, Pictionary (I’m a terrible artist) or any of the other games that involved guessing?

Guessing is usually never a real great thing to do unless you are playing some sort of game.  But there are a few things that are fairly easy to answer if we asked guess who.

Guess who is responsible for their own attitude?

YOU!

Guess who controls their own effort?

YOU!

Guess who determines how they will approach each day?

YOU!

You get the picture. There is at least one person we are responsible for and need to focus on improving each and every day.

Guess Who?

YOU!

I’m cheering for you.
