CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
You never know what someone is going through. There is still a lot of bad out in the world. And even when you look at someone, you don’t know what is going on inside for them. So reach out. Connect. Find that one small good thing you can do today, and do it. Maybe in March you can raise some awareness for the hurting people of the world. Do 100 reps of something every day, and show your willingness to reach out and connect with the hurting. Invite them in even if it makes your day a little harder. You might need them as much as they need you.

3 Quotes from Michael Jordan that could just as easily be mine:

I’ve always believed that if you put in the work, the results will come

Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen

I can accept failure, but I can’t accept not trying.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
A missionary friend told me a story about another missionary who visited Israel and took a bus trip to see the countryside.  As they drove, he saw a man in a pasture pushing a sheep.  He asked the driver to stop so he could watch the shepherd.  The driver laughed and said, “That’s not a shepherd, that’s a butcher!”  My friend is a real life shepherd on his homestead, and explained that sheep follow other sheep, who follow the shepherd they trust.  True shepherds earn that following because they take care of their sheep, and the sheep can sense the shepherd is doing things for their good.  This is a tangible manifestation of love as an action, and parallels directly to leadership.  Leaders can’t gain an effective or lasting following by forcing activity (like the butcher pushing the sheep to the killing floor).  Effective leaders care about their people, do what’s good for their people (act out love, in other words).  In turn, people want to follow because they see the goodwill in the leader’s eyes, hear it in his words, and know it by his actions.  Be like the Good Shepherd, serve your people, love them, and give yourself for them.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Fixed Mindset vs Growth Mindset- Important as leaders we realize we are not defined by are abilities. Fixed mindsets tell us that our abilities, traits and intelligence is fixed, we have a certain amount and that’s it. Growth mindsets tell us those abilities, talents can be developed through effort, teaching and PERSISTENCE. Fixed mindsets can often prevent important skill development and growth. this can sabotage your health and happiness. Commit to the process of training like a champion don’t worry about winning the championship. Its not about the results, its about building the identity of the type of person who gets to enjoy those results.

Keep Swerve in your thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery.
