Victor or Victim
|
So true. Â I quit playing the “circumstance blame-game” many years ago. In all situations we have the opportunity to play the role of victor or victim. Which role do you play? Do you make things happen or do you watch things happen…and then complain about it? Do you find opportunity in the problem or do…
Victory over Blame
|
“A man may make mistakes, but he doesn’t become a failure until he blames someone else.” ~John Wooden There are victims and there are victors. Victims have an excuse for everything that goes wrong and they usually blame others for their lot in life. Victors have an eye for creating opportunity when something goes wrong…
Purpose & Life Happens
|
 I was talking with a coachee the other day and he was lamenting about some health issues a loved one was facing. He began going down the path of asking himself what he had done wrong in order to deserve this punishment he was receiving from God. I quickly steered him back on the…
Counsel
|
 Nothing great in life happens by doing it alone. If you are trying to make the most of yourself it will not happen without surrounding yourself with wise counsel. Sometimes the most powerful three words we can say are, “I need help.” Who are you listening to? Who are you talking with? Who is…

Study and Prepare

There are no shortcuts or free lunches on the journey of creating a quality life and making the most of yourself. P.E.A.C.E. Jay@EagleLaunch Proverbs 15:14, “A wise person is hungry for knowledge, while the fool feeds on trash.” (NLT)
Excellence
|
 Excellence is simply doing the next right thing, one step at a time, one day at a time. Excellence is a process, not an event. P.E.A.C.E. Jay@EagleLaunch Proverbs 13:4, “Lazy people want much but get little, but those who work hard will prosper.”
Forgive instead of Hurt
|
 It is impossible to make the most of ourselves if we hold onto old “hurts.” Grudges and resentments are the devil’s way of preventing us to live out our God Purpose to our fullest. What do you need to let go of? P.E.A.C.E. Jay@EagleLaunch.com Mark 11:25, “And when you stand praying, if you hold…
Character
|
Character is the ability to handle the demands of reality without cheating or taking short cuts. It is staying true to your principles when the world tells you principles are “things of the past.” Character is formed when we are doing what we know we need to do when we don’t want to do…
