The best way to turn average into excellence is to speak “will†instead of “want.â€

 Years ago I can remember having this vision for our business and it was all about wanting to become one of the most highly regarded and respected businesses in our industry. In that moment, I decided to turn that “want†into a “will†and the rest, they say, is history. Instead of thinking and…
Get the inside right. The outside will fall into place.

 I see a fair share of people these days who are impatiently chasing the next shiny object. In this quest for shiny objects is a neglect of truly understanding and knowing ourselves on the inside and a disconnect with what God has planned for us on the outside. I was one of these “shiny…
Paint the picture you would like your life to become and then do the things you need to do one step at a time, and one day at a time in order for the picture to become your life.

 It is amazing how we begin to change once we put our life vision (what we want to “be”) as well as our life mission (what we need to do in order to “be”) in writing and on paper and review our vision/mission on a daily basis. The simple acts of writing and reviewing…

 What are you “seeing” these days? If you don’t like what you are seeing, it may be time to put on a new set of glasses and choose to view the world differently. P.E.A.C.E. Jay@EagleLaunch.com John 9:39, “For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind will see and those who…
Accept responsibility for your life. Know that it is you who will get you where you want to go, no one else.

Thanks Les! Once I figured this out I could get to work with God and begin designing a life for my family and I. So often we forget no one can pick up our mats (read the scripture below) for us. We have to make the decision to pick it up and seek God’s…
If, in fact, it is what's inside us that makes all the difference, then the difference is made when we choose what goes inside.

 This quote is so true and I can’t help but think about our poor brothers and sisters who went to a Bible study in Charleston, SC without ever thinking it would be there last…at least on earth. I have two questions for you: 1. When your day comes are you ready? In other words…
Acceptance of what has happened is the first step to overcoming the consequences of any misfortune.

 Life is full of shifts. Our response to the shifts will determine the type of life we live. A couple of years ago I got news about a problem with my health and I wasn’t real happy.  I don’t know about you, but for most of us when a setback takes place we go through…
When the world cries "give up," hope whispers "try it one more time.

Do you give up too easy? Do you give up before you even try? Is the world telling you “no”, when your heart says “yes?” If you are mired in self-doubt and lack confidence, try asking God to give you strength to persevere. And don’t just ask Him once. Ask Him as early and as often…
If you feel you are down on your luck, check the level of your effort.
