For those of you who are just starting this process, I advise you to go back to February 1st and read all the posts up to today. I decided to hold off into diving into our guiding principles (what we stand for) for another day. Building a life of purpose is a process, it is…
What we hope ever to do with ease, we must learn first to do with diligence.
— Dr. Samuel Johnson —
 We live in a “quick fix” society and it is easy to forget that the only way to become great at something is through diligent focus and practice…practice…practice…practice…practice…practice…practice…practice…practice…practice. And don’t get in a hurry. P.E.A.C.E. Jay@EagleLaunch.com Proverbs 21:5, “The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is hasty comes only to…
Great things come to those who wait but continue to work their butts off while waiting.

Yesterday I achieved a goal I set for myself a couple of years ago. I completed a ½ Ironman Triathlon distance race twice in one month…so I could say I did a full Ironman (2.4mi swim, 112mi bike, 26.2mi run) in one month. This particular goal took me three years longer than I wanted because…
A person going nowhere usually suffers from one of three conditions: laziness, perfectionism or impatience.
— JJM —
 Keys to progress… Understand perfection is the slow path to nowhere and impatience is the fast path to nowhere. Also realize progress is the steady path to somewhere and lies between perfection and impatience. Therefore, patiently seek progress over perfection. P.E.A.C.E.

Beware of endeavoring to become a great man in a hurry. One such attempt in ten thousand may succeed. These are fearful odds.

Talent without discipline is like an octopus on roller skates. There's plenty of movement, but you never know if it's going to be forward, backwards, or sideways.
— H. Jackson Brown, Jr. —
 Have you ever felt like an octopus on roller skates? I have and I never want to go back there. Psalm 37:4-5, “Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and He will act.” (ESV) P.E.A.C.E. Jay@EagleLaunch.com
 What are you focusing on? Philippians 3:12-14, “Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what…
People who consistently win have a clear and thoughtful strategy. They know what they need to do and when they need to do it. They write it down so they stay on course, and avoid any alternative that does not get them closer to the finish line.

 Dr. Phil did a good job of summarizing what I’ve been writing about the past couple of weeks.  The most important part of his quote above is when he says, “they write it down so they stay on course.” What do you have written down? Write it down, commit it to the Lord and…
