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…

Tracks

Don’t get sidetracked by people who are not on track.

  Nuff said. Proverbs 4:25-26, “Look straight ahead, and fix your eyes on what lies before you.  Mark out a straight path for your feet; then stick to the path and stay safe.” (NLT) P.E.A.C.E. Jay@EagleLaunch.com

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…

No and Focus

The most powerful focus-protecting word that a human being needs to carry in his or her toolbox at all times is 'NO'.

— Jay Meyer —

  Being able to say “no” to people, places and things that are not feeding your focus and ultimately your vision is quite powerful.  I used to think I could be all things to all people and then I found the best thing I could do was to be all I could be for God…and…

Control and Focus

The biggest waste of focus is focusing on people, places and things you have no control over and therefore cannot change. Focus on changing you.

— Jay Meyer —

  How often do you find yourself wasting time on things you have no control over? Acceptance is the key to my focus these days. What do you need to accept? When faced with a situation you have no control over and the situation is driving you crazy, there are three options: Change the way…

Fear Not and Do

Do it! People who succeed don’t just sit and think about what they want to do. They take meaningful, purposeful, directional action consistently and persistently. Every step they take puts them toward the outcome they’re looking for.

— Dr. Phil —

  Along with Dr. Phil’s quote above, two other thoughts come to mind: Stop dreaming and start doing… At the end of the day there is more said than done… What is preventing you from doing? P.E.A.C.E. Jay@EagleLaunch.com Most of the time fear is what prevents us from doing.  If you do not want to…

Concentrate

Concentrate all your thoughts upon the work at hand. The sun’s rays do not burn until brought to a focus.

— Alexander Graham Bell —

  Nuff said. Proverbs 4:25, “Let your eyes look directly forward, and your gaze be straight before you.”  (ESV) P.E.A.C.E. Jay@EagleLaunch.com  

Plates and Leaving Room

My success, part of it certainly, is that I have focused in on a few things.

— Bill Gates —

  How full is your plate? You cannot be all things to all people. What are the few things you really need to focus on? And by the way, if you believe in God, He wants to be all things to you.  Where is he on your plate of life?  If he isn’t one of…

Decrease = Increase

It’s not the daily increase but daily decrease. Hack away at the unessential.

— Bruce Lee —

  The best plan is a plan that begins with all the things we need to stop doing.  Throwing more goals on an already unattainable plan is a form of insanity…I write from experience. Matthew 6:26, “Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and…
