Work/Life Balance

From my daughter Emma - Don’t spend too much time on work. Enjoy time with your kids, it's important to us. We don't want to grow up and only remember how much time you spent on your computer or cell phone. If you have to work at home, let us be apart of it.

Umbrella

“Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it and it will be yours.” - Mark 11:24 What are you praying for today? Why are you praying for this? Is it because you are “supposed to pray” or is it because you have faith that God will indeed answer?

Casting Stones

“He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.” - John 8:7 We all sin - and to magnify or call out another's sin over yours is hypocrisy. I encourage you to focus on the positives of others, call attention to the good instead of bashing the bad. When we talk about or judge others, it says more about who we are than who they are.

Lazarus

“Faith in God includes faith in God’s timing.” If you are waiting on something today, my encouragement for you is to keep the faith and continue to work… help is on the way… and it will come at the perfect time.

Squirrel Decisions

"The price of inaction is greater than the cost of making a mistake." - Carla Harris What's holding you back from taking your next step? We're not going to make the right choice every time we make a decision, but it doesn't mean we aren't growing or learning. I encourage you to make a decision today and take the initial step on something that has been anchoring you down.

Cutting Cables

“Every mistake is an opportunity to learn something new.” We are all going to make mistakes – daily. Instead of beating yourself up over it, leverage this as a learning opportunity for yourself and for others. Don’t be afraid to share your experiences with others… leaders recognize and utilize their experiences to help others... even the painful ones.

Limitations

“The only limits in life are the ones you make.” – Kristinna Habashy What limits have you intentionally or unintentionally created in your life? What’s one thing you can do today to begin breaking down those limitations?

Puck

Wayne Gretzky once said, “I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where is has been.” Where are you at today? Are you chasing the puck or are you waiting for it to come to you? Are you prepared to do what it takes to get in position?

Receiving bad news

“Your reaction sets the stage for how others will trust you with their mistakes.” How do you react when others bring you less than desirable news? Are you building a culture of secrecy and embarrassment or promoting ownership and transparency? I encourage you to evaluate how you react to bad news from those you lead.

Glass of Worries

“If you can’t do anything about it, then let it go. Don’t be a prisoner to things you can’t change.” - Tony Gaskins We aren’t doing ourselves any favors by holding onto and stressing about things that we can’t control. What do you need to let go of today? When we let go of the weights that our holding us down, that’s when we truly begin to live out our higher calling.
