Things change and grow and shrink and fade. Everything is constantly in flux. It's often said that change is the only constant of life (and it definitely is), but does that mean anything to me other than a nihilistic approach to satisfaction in the good times? Or maybe more than a hopeful platitude in the … Continue reading Pressure and Change

“I Don’t Think It Means What You Think It Means…”
The English language is a funny thing... and The Princess Bride is a hilarious piece of art... We have one normal word for love. So when I want to show my feelings and appreciation for different things, I might say that I love my wife, I love my brother, I love my pastor, I love … Continue reading “I Don’t Think It Means What You Think It Means…”
Don’t Break the Streak
No, I'm not talking about Snapchat (although some of you have pretty impressive streaks there...). I'm also not talking about the Clemson football team who didn't lose all last year and beat up on my Alabama Crimson Tide (well, I'm okay with Clemson's streak breaking...) I'm talking to you, our awesome reader. Streaks are important … Continue reading Don’t Break the Streak
Your Mental Soil
Laying in bed after the first night of an awesome leadership conference, I'm imagining a picture in my mind that one of the speakers mentioned... and I would like to share it with you very quickly. The Biblical parable of a sower who goes to plant seeds can be a parallel metaphor for a speaker … Continue reading Your Mental Soil
Attend Everything!
Yes, I'm from Alabama. And yes, I make constant trips across the country for Leadership and Entrepreneurial Seminars. Not only do I enjoy every minute of them... I believe they are the greatest investment that I can make into my future and into my purpose. I'm currently sitting in Battle Creek, Michigan, listening to some … Continue reading Attend Everything!
What Do You Do with It?
In the Bible (specifically, in the book of Matthew), Jesus tells a story about a man going on a journey and entrusting some of his estate to three different servants. To one servant, he gives 5 talents (a unit of money in Jesus' day), to another he gave 2 talents, and to another he gave … Continue reading What Do You Do with It?
Be Careful Little Mind What You Think…
All too often, we take offense to things we read. I think back on our blog posts here and wonder how many people are reading the points of the post rather than latching on to the examples we use to illustrate those points. I remember when I first heard Chris talk about how video games … Continue reading Be Careful Little Mind What You Think…
95% vs 5% (part 3)
So the question for the final part of this mini-series is HOW would someone increase their 5% thinking so that they are able to change their 95% results? We talked about in previous blogs that if someone is looking to change the results that they are experiencing in an area, they must change their thinking. … Continue reading 95% vs 5% (part 3)
Adding to the Noise
In my family, we have a tradition. Well, not a tradition really, but more of a habit. We watch TV. "Oh no," you may be thinking, "Here we go with a rant against entertainment and especially TV." No, that's not the point. I like TV. Stranger Things is one of my favorite shows and I … Continue reading Adding to the Noise
Distress and Eustace (Wait…)
NOTE: The following blog post contains spoilers for the 2010 Walden Media production of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Stress is so prevalent in our lives that we tend to respond to any question, pressure, or mistake with "Well, I'm stressed" and call it a day. There's a problem there. What kind of stress … Continue reading Distress and Eustace (Wait…)
