Sometimes you aren’t exhausted because you spent all your time doing something. But instead you realized that you spent no time doing something else and you’re out of time.

Every second you spend doing one thing is a second you also could’ve spent doing something else. Use your time for what’s important and what makes you and other’s around you better.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
“Learn to take care of your things, and they will always take care of you”. A simple lesson my meticulous father taught me as a young boy. As most teenagers are, I was careless with anything I owned or used. For example, I would use my father’s tools and always failed to put them back where they belong. Then, they would get left outside, rust, and no longer function as desired, OR I could never find them whenever I needed them again.

Although it is a general adage, it is extremely relevant and a great reminder as men and leaders. Whether it is your mental or physical health, your family, your career, your employees, or anything else in life you are responsible for, it is important to take time to give them TLC and be intentional with everything you do. Take time to care for your things in life, and they will always care for you.

MOLESKIN:
– Potential opportunity to serve and work with True Purpose Ministries, an addiction treatment center in Blount County. This is an all-male facility that provides housing, job training, food, clothing, transportation, and bible discipleship training to men recovering from drug and alcohol addiction. This could be a great opportunity to support this organization and our local community.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I have been on vacation from work all of July.  Today I go back to work.  I have been dreading going back to work leading up to today but last night I started thinking about how much worse my experience will be if I go into it with a bad attitude.  So I made a conscious decision that I was going go into the day with a positive attitude, claiming that they day would be a good one. Yes, it could still turn out terrible but at least I will start my day off better.  Many of our experiences in life are greatly effected my our attitudes going into them.  Control what you can control.  Make the choice to have a positive attitude.   Do this for yourself and for those around you.
