CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Looking back at the last 28 years, I started thinking a lot about words vs. action. Benjamin Franklin said “Well done is always better than well said” and that speaks volumes to me. No famous speech is famous just because of the words, but because of the action the speaker took or inspired others to take. Words mean nothing, actions mean something, and words along with actions mean everything.

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.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
One of my favorite scripture readings is Isaiah 6:8. I try to incorporate it into my prayer life as often as I can.

Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?”

And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”

Without hesitation Isaiah offers himself up to the Lord. May we ask God to use our skills and talents to change this world. Don’t wait on other people to fulfill a void that Gods calls YOU to fill. Ask God to send you into this world and do good for the Kingdom.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
‘Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up, it knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve. It doesn’t matter whether you’re the lion or a gazelle-when the sun comes up, you’d better be running.’ 

There’s a lot of important takeaways from this quote, but two things are shared between the lion and the gazelle that are applicable to our lives. 1) They know what they have to do every day to accomplish their goals and 2) They make the decisions every day to help them reach their goal, knowing the wrong decision can result in their demise.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
PT Barnum once said “Comfort is the enemy of progress.”…It’s only when we step outside our comfort zone that we truly improve.

Encourage and challenge the Pax to step out of their comfort zones

  • stepping up to Q a beatdown
  • stepping into leadership wit the Arsenal AO launch
  • Sign up and commit to your first 5K or Marathon
  • Maybe you have already done the above, how about an obstacle course? Hardship Hill plug 🙂
  • What about 50 miles….100? crazy! ya, but why not?!

Maybe this resonates more from a job standpoint for you, have you become complacent in your work environment, let this be a call out to dig for more!

If your walking in fear you not walking in faith
