So did I pique your interest at the end of yesterday’s blog? No, I didn’t win the lottery…God knows better than that. 🙂 But… Today is our middle child (Jordan’s) 30th birthday! I decided to take a break from working on our life purpose and vision and focus today’s blog on Jordan. On February 3rd,…
Purpose & Who You Are
|
 The other day I was watching the Turner Classic Movie channel and they were doing a spotlight on the life of Fred MacMurray. Depending upon your age you may remember Mr. MacMurray’s role as the dad in “My Three Sons.” MacMurray was one of Hollywood’s best as he was in over 100 movies in…
Vision with Purpose
|
 January is over. How many of you made a New Year’s resolution? How many of you have been able to stick with it? Habits are very hard to change. There is an emotional rush present in the initial stages of making a commitment to making positive life changes and this rush is fueled throughout…
A Discipline of Purpose
|
 This is my favorite quote on discipline.  The last word of the quote is key and many people fail to identify their purpose in life and their life wanders aimlessly like a ship without a rudder. I’ve committed my 2016 posts to helping you make the most of yourself and that begins with finding…
Fess Up
|
 Being a recovering drug addict and someone who has helped others with the disease of addiction, I know it is not the drugs and/or alcohol that eventually kills the user, it is denial. Today I know denial of the truth or denial of even wanting to know the truth is a common denominator among…
Action over Fear and Worry
|
I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer but when I need to, I can work with the best of them and many times over the years I have “worked” my way through fear, worry and anxiety. What are your worrying about? What do you fear? Name it, claim it, dump it…and get to…
Worry or Fear?
|
We all have fear, it is an emotion/feeling all human beings have. How we handle our fear is the difference maker. P.E.A.C.E. Jay@Eaglelaunch Proverbs 4:6, “Don’t worry about anything; instead pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.” (NLT)
Balancing Doubt & Confidence
|
 If I would have seen this quote thirty years ago I would have ignored it and thought it was absurd as I once was one of the most confident idiots I’ve ever known. “Do you see a man wise in his own eyes?  There is more hope for a fool than for him.”  Proverbs…
Faith or Worry
|
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change (other people, places and things), the courage to change the things I can (me, my attitude and my effort) and the wisdom to know the difference…wisdom “happens” once we effectively learn to accept what we can’t change and change what we can….
Self Control
|
 In a society where everything seems to be able to happen instantly, self control is the key to maintaining peace, sanity and progress. Having the ability to overcome the urge to act on the short term good in order to wait for the long term great seems to be a lost art these days…
