CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

It seems like the last few weeks have been filled with story after story of tragic accidents and loss of life. It’s easy to get caught up in our own lives and worry about the “stresses of tomorrow” – discounting the blessings of today by worrying about what we may face tomorrow. However, we aren’t guaranteed tomorrow. Worrying about tomorrow doesn’t take away those troubles; it simply steals the joy from today.

I’m terrible about taking today for granted and worrying about what tomorrow may bring. It’s usually when I’m confronted with a story about tragic loss of life that makes me momentarily realize how precious today really is. I use the word “momentarily” because it typically lasts for a day or so and then I’m right back to worrying about tomorrow.

Let’s celebrate the blessings of today.

BOM
Golden Rule: Do to others as you would have them to do to you. (Matthew 7:12)
Golden Result: In general, people will treat you in the same manner that you treat them.

The importance of knowing the Golden Result is it reminds us that in many ways we are creating the world around us.  When it seems like everyone around us is “out to get us” that’s a cue to look inward and reflect on how you are relating to others.  As a HIM we seek to be men of impact, not men of excuses.

Today, be the type of person that changes the relational temperature of the room. Bring grace, humility and love where every you go and see if it is not returned back to you 10 fold.

Apollo Creed style one arm push-ups in a circle.  One arm on your brother’s shoulder and one on the ground.  5 each arm.  After completion, YHC said “that was neat”.  Not sure where that came from, but a good finish to the workout none the less.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Ephesians 6:1. “Children, obey your parents…”.  That one is easy for the parents, but here is the tough one.  Verse 4 “Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.”  YHC constantly struggles with this one.  Sometimes the kiddos don’t think I love them when I discipline them.  Make sure you are not disciplining your children when angry. Cool off for a minute first.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Leadership involves surrounding yourself with good positive people . With out this, you cannot have success.
MOLESKIN:
As I wrapped up my first season as a HEAD COACH , I realized quickly I can’t do it alone. Expecting to lead alone is nearly impossible. A true leader will surround himself or herself with positive people ready to help. It’s just what I had in my first season of being a head coach for 2 of my sons flag football teams. I had a lot of expectations of myself to “run the show” but quickly realized , I am screwed doing it all alone. I had dads stepping up ready to help as assistant coaches. It was much needed and with all the help, our teams had a successful season ! The success was not winning the games but just having fun with the kids! To sum it up, we are born to lead but we can’t do it alone !

Einstein “ stay away from negative people, the find a problem to every solution” . As you lead, make sure you surround yourself with positive people !

Aye!
