Have a Plan! Change is about to happen!

The problem with the statement, ‘Change is about to happen,’ is that by the time we notice it’s arrival we can do very little to affect it. We have to ride the wave of change but only if we have not prepared for it.

Change has momentum and power. Change is not evil, good, or bad. The results of and our actions towards that change, however, can be.

Since the seasons change we can assume life changes. Where we work, how we work, live, play will also change.

Some change we see coming and some we do not. Change can bring fear and often does. Peace, however, is a great combatant against fear, but only if grounded in a great foundation of truth. Hope, that is real hope, breaks the fear of change. But it takes courage …and lots of it to endure that change- especially when it is something we had not seen coming or the road before us just go so foggy you can only see inches down your path.

If peace is the great combatant against change, How do you find peace? I gained peace by surrounding myself with certain internal as well as external guards. I completed my will. Then my estate plan, then finances were gotten in order… all the while I increased my attitude upward and began a deeper relationship with my heavenly father. It spiraled upward and became very well defined once I found a little book by Michael Hyatt.

Michael Hyatt has a wonder e-book on Life Planning that you should go check out. It’s FREE, and I love FREE! Also go review his site and Dan Miller’s site about Master Mind groups…

It’s so simple to gain peace in a changing world, we just have to take those actions we know we need to take. Now more than ever, is the time to gather stability that remains stable even when everything around you is falling, shifting, moving…

Question: Would you be any worst off if you made a plan and change never came? But change is coming… If you have gotten Michael Hyatt’s Life Plan book and filled it out I’d love to hear the effects it has had in the peace of your life- Please leave your comments below!  Thanks!! 

The Exercise of Thank you

High Quality folks deserve high quality thanks.

Really, it’s that simple. 

It’s also not very important on how you do it… just do it. Have fun with telling someone THANKS! I promise you will get better… but don’t wait to tell your super-stud performer, “Thanks,” only when you think you have perfected its delivery.

The Exercise of Thank you

Telling someone ‘Thank you,’ when you feel awful is H-A-R-D! Got it! You are completely normal. But like anything new, this may hurt a bit. 

Practice this exercise (if you are in a CarPool while reading this, you are excused..for now):

• Repeat out loud, “Thank You”
• Recognized you might have actually felt better
• Repeat it again, but this time, 25, 50 or 100 times
• Then be bold enough to tell someone who may, or may not, have helped you – your wife, kids, parents…even your boss counts

We get good at what we practice. Read up on Bear Bryant, Vince Dooley, Bill Bowerman, Herb Brooks, Jose Mourinho…  These men got good and then they duplicated themselves.

Parents, you are coaches and your kids will duplicate you…

Team Leaders (boss’), your team will follow you… 

…and you just might feel the weights lift up a bit, and I think we all could benefit from that.

 Question: What would happen if you tried this exercise and it actually worked? How would this impact the way you do life?  Let me know if you do this exersise and the results you find! Comment below! …and THANKS!
