Take Time

Take time to appreciate those around you.  It doesn’t take much effort. 

Appreciation is defined as “recognition and enjoyment of the good qualities of someone or something.”

Your assignment today is to give some appreciation to those around you.  Find the good qualities in people and then celebrate them.

It really doesn’t take much effort to show appreciation.  It just takes a desire give it.

Today, my hope is that you and I have that desire.  I have no doubt that someone in our path could use the feeling of being appreciated.

It could be someone you know or someone that you don’t but the important thing is to be aware of the moment when the opportunity to show appreciation presents itself. 

When it does seize that moment and make a difference.

I’m cheering for you.

What If?

We offered encouragement instead of criticism?

We treated others how we wanted to be treated?

We put others first and ourselves second?

We thought first and spoke second instead of the other way around?

We spoke out of love instead of spite?

We lifted up instead of tore down?

What we said “Amen” to on Sunday we lived out on Monday?

What if?

Better yet, how about I will?

I’m cheering for you.

Be Kind

Be Kind to Everyone.
All the time.
In every situation.

Wait…

All the time?
Every situation?

Sounds crazy right?

But maybe…

Maybe we should just be kind to everyone because everyone is fighting a battle we may know nothing about.

Maybe we need to be someone’s best hope today by just being kind.

We can all use a little kindness and we can all give a little too.

I’m cheering for you.

A Ship Is Safe In Harbor

The comfort zone is a dangerous place to be.  Too many people are afraid to step out of it which keeps them from ever reaching their true potential. 

If a ship stayed tied up in the harbor it would never experience the beauty of the open seas. 

Yes, there is a chance of stormy seas as well but the ship cannot experience the beauty without risking being in some uncomfortable waters as well.

The same is true of you.  As much as you may like your comfort zone your true and full potential will never be realized unless you leave it. 

You are meant for more.  More growth, more learning and more awe inspiring moments. 

If you leave your comfort zone you will experience more and you will also be better for those that you lead and serve.

Head out into your adventure.  Beauty awaits.

I’m cheering for you.
