If you want the life you want, it will cost you the life you have.

Proverbs 13:19- A longing fulfilled is sweet to the soul, but fools detest turning from evil.

New Living Translation- It is pleasant to see dreams come true, but fools refuse to turn from evil to attain them.

All change starts with telling the truth about how things are now. Observe your habits- what do you tell yourself, where are you or what are you doing when you mess up your goals. You live on brain patterns. We don’t know that we’re checked out until we check back in. It’s amazing what change you can drive when you do check in.

“You step in 0% of the dog poop that you see.”

  • Practice is a process, not a destination. Did you know self guided missles miss there target 90% of the time? They have an algorithmic called course correction.
  • Who do you want to be on November 20th? Set goals for your work, biological, and family self. Identify one goal for each that you can do this week

We need to make sure that our integrity is more important than gaining earthly possessions. Taking a shortcut or cheating someone is never worth getting ahead in our job or any part of our life. It will eventually lead to our downfall so hold on to your integrity.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

A few years ago, I ran in the Panerathon Expo 10k/5k in downtown Knoxville along with my wife and a few of our coworkers. In races held in high-traffic areas like downtown Knoxville, there are usually several police cars along the course to ensure the safety of runners by blocking and conducting traffic. There were also several volunteers along the course directing runners which way the course went and encouraging us as we ran by. I find it wonderful that people volunteer to get up so early to stand at a corner for hours directing people over and over and encouraging hundreds of runners as they pass. Some were more enthusiastic than others, but I was grateful for all of them. 

Even though these volunteers committed half their Saturday to working the race without any compensation, I was more impressed with the person who was required to be there; the person who was paid to be there. A police officer and his car were posted on one of the overpasses to ensure no cars attempted to drive on or through the race course. I am sure it was his assignment to work the race. It was his job, so yes, he was getting paid to stand there for two hours as people ran by. It was his job, and all he had to do was stand there and ensure the safety of the runners, but he chose to make it more than just a duty. As we ran, he genuinely shouted encouragement with a smile on his face. I have run in numerous races and have never witnessed a police officer that involved in a race.

I doubt that police officer anticipated being recognized or rewarded for how he handled his race duties, and I doubt he was, but that did not stop him from making someone’s life better. He took something mundane and turned it into something magnificent with his only motivation being to make a difference in someone’s life. 

“The person doing the work determines the difference between the mundane and the magnificent.” – Mark Sanborn, Author of The Fred Factor

Pray for peace and comfort for Kim and Daniel and family.
