No Short Cuts

There are no short cuts to any place worth going.

  TRUTH! The best way to get to it, is to go through it. Matthew 7:13, “Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many.” P.E.A.C.E. Jay@EagleLaunch.com

Focus Abundantly

Stop worrying about what you have to lose and start focusing on what you have to gain.

— Unknown —

  If I’ve noted it once I’ve noted it a couple of dozen times in my blogs that the devil lives in scarcity and loves to get us to think in terms of scarcity. Our Creator lives in abundance and if we tap into Him and turn our back on the devil, we will witness…

James 1:19…”All Wrathed Up”

Be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.

— James 1:19 —

  Swift to hear…take the cotton out of your ears and put it in your mouth and listen with the intent to understand and not comment. Slow to speak…often saves us from being jack-asses. Slow to wrath…understanding what we can and cannot control will slow our wrath down. Hearing clearly, speaking slowly and not getting…

The successful warrior is the average man, with laser-like focus.

— Bruce Lee —

  Focus is a huge difference maker and can be enhanced by simply removing from your mind everything that doesn’t add to and/or align with your life vision.

Walk, Eat, Focus

When walking, walk. When eating, eat.

  Nuff Said. 1 Corinthians 9:24, “Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it.” P.E.A.C.E. Jay@EagleLaunch.com

Fail Forward

Don’t dwell on what went wrong. Instead, focus on what to do next. Spend your energies on moving forward, toward finding the answer.

— Denis Waitley —

  We all fail and fall short of our goals from time to time but it is a choice on what we do with our shortfalls and failures.  I always strive to fail forward.  Having a mindset of failing forward forces me to keep my eyes focused ahead of me instead of behind me. Do…

Answers to Problems

It is wise to direct your anger towards problems-not people; to focus your energies on answers-not excuses.

— William Arthur Ward —

  Profound and powerful words Mr. Ward… In all situations today, I know if I’m not the problem there is no solution. Matthew 6:9-13, “Pray then like this: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our…

Present Focus

I finally learned to live in the present and focus only on what I want rather than what I don’t want.

— Darren L. Johnson —

  Being able to focus on the present is critical.  The devil lives in the past, future and anything else he can make us anxious about in order to drain our energy.  God is with us in the very moment.  Huge dividends in the form of peace, joy and love are created when we can…
