CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
YHC has been sensing the Lord pressing on something lately. YHC can be more of a big picture thinker than details guy. YHC tended to be more of a project starter…not really a huge finisher when younger. ADD can cause YHC to easily move on to other things, especially if there is more energy behind it. To get around this, YHC will often keep details people around to help with this shortfall.
“Attention to Details” can be a challenge.
Admiral William McRaven, former US Navy SEAL, gave a graduation speech at University of Texas. Point one: Make Your Bed. He eventually wrote a book outlining the 10 principles he gave in his speech (see a video of it here). He says in his book, “Sometimes the simple act of making your bed can give you the lift you need to start your day and provide you with the satisfaction to end it right. If you want to change your life and maybe the world—start off by making your bed!”
John Wooden, the legendary UCLA basketball coach, wouldn’t let his players hit the court until they put their socks on right. These were the best recruited players in the country and he was teaching them to put their SOCKS on! “Championships are built on a solid foundation. And there’s nothing more fundamental for a basketball player than putting on your socks right. If you can’t slow down long enough to do that right, you’re in trouble.” Coach Wooden won 9 Championships over the span of 10 years. Seven of them were consecutive. Three of those seasons were completely undefeated. Ok! Socks it is!
Kobe Bryant was often caught putting in extra practice. What was he practicing? Elementary ball-handling skills. The kind you teach kids! He did this for hours! Why would a pro spend time on such fundamentals?
That’s where Championships are won.
Men, we need to take care of the fundamentals; in marriage, in fatherhood, at work, out in the gloom. That’s where real growth happens.
Luke 16:10 Jesus says,
“Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.”
We have a tendency to say it doesn’t matter. The saying, “Don’t sweat the small stuff…and it’s all small stuff” may not be helpful. Sweat the small stuff and I bet you can handle the big stuff much better. It might be he difference between getting better and being stagnant.
