Over the past three weeks I’ve had the opportunity to spend ten full days working with and training leaders from various types of industries throughout the U.S. There is nothing more energizing for me than to spend time with people who want to grow and improve.

Strong + Humble Actions = Meek P.E.A.C.E. Jay@EagleLaunch.com Matthew 5:5, “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.” (ESV) …meek doesn’t mean we are to be doormats, it is simply about being quietly confident because we know there is a God and it isn’t us.

Yesterday I wrote about less being more. That doesn’t mean I don’t like nice things it simply means too many nice things (for me) equates into a loss of focus on what I need to do for Him. The devil loves for us to focus on anything other than God. In fact the devil’s…

I attribute my success to this: I never gave or took an excuse.

 Amen…if I’m not the problem, there is no solution. I used to be an excuse machine until I was introduced to the Serenity Prayer. Today, whenever the committee in my head slams the gavel and calls an “excuse meeting” to order, I start praying the Serenity Prayer. God, grant me the serenity to accept…
We excuse our sloth under the pretext of difficulty.
— Marcus Fabius Quintilian —
 Nothing great in life occurs without some type of difficulty. What is it that God wants you to do that you aren’t doing because it is too “difficult?” Philippians 4:13 says, “I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.” I always try to replace my difficulties and excuses with prayer. P.E.A.C.E….
