Have you ever found yourself dreaming about a future that could potentially enrich your life, but somehow, those dreams never materialize into action? I know I have, and it's this kind of thinking that can leave me playing it safe rather than playing to win. Fear is one of the most common reasons for not chasing my dreams. Fear of failure, fear of the unknown, or even fear of success can be daunting. I find it easy to settle into my familiar surroundings, and the predictability of my life. Taking a leap of faith can paralyze me and keep me from taking the necessary steps to make dreams a reality. Another factor that often keeps me from pursuing my dreams is the inertia of daily life. With my routine and knowing what to expect, I become accustomed to the rhythm of my day. Pushing myself out of my comfort zone can be challenging. It's easy to settle into the groove and convince myself I’m content. Sometimes, it's the perceived risk that holds me back. Are my dreams worth my potential sacrifices? Will I have to give up stability, financial security, or the approval of others? These concerns are valid, but are they reasonable? Are the gains worth the sacrifice, or do I maintain the status quo? So, what's the way forward? How do I break free from the routine, conquer my fears, and start living my dreams? It begins with self-awareness and introspection. Reflect on your desires, goals, and the life you envision. Write these down. Recognize the fear holding you back and acknowledge the comfort of your routine. I also have a support system that believes in my dreams. Sometimes, I dislike feeling pushed out of my comfort zone, and if I didn't have these folks in my life, I would daydream about my "what ifs?" I must remember that failure is a part of the journey and can be a steppingstone to success. I am finding that life is too short to remain trapped in the safety of the known. Thanks to all of you who support and encourage me. I couldn’t do it without you! Can you identify the dreams you tucked away in a safe place, that safe place that requires no attention?

Do you ever wonder what it is like when the ones you love go to work, and you know they may be in harm's way? I am mainly thinking about our civil servants who rush into a scene when most of us are running away. 🚓 🚒 🚑 🔥These brave men and women, including firefighters, police officers, paramedics, and emergency medical technicians, play a pivotal role in maintaining the safety and well-being of our communities. It's all too easy to take them for granted. It is easy to overlook the sacrifices these people make for us as we go about our daily lives. They work long and unpredictable hours, putting themselves at risk to protect us from emergencies, accidents, natural disasters, and acts of violence. They witness traumatic events that most of us can’t and don’t want to imagine, and they do so with unwavering commitment and dedication. They are the reassuring voices on the other end of the line, the steady hands administering life-saving care and confronting dangerous circumstances to ensure our safety. They are the ones who provide comfort and support during our most vulnerable moments. It's incredibly easy to take their presence and actions for granted, assuming that help will always be there when we need it. We may not fully appreciate their sacrifices, the physical and emotional toll their work takes on them, and the daily challenges they face. First responders also face the burden of making split-second decisions that can have life-altering consequences. Their actions can mean the difference between life and death, and they carry the weight of that responsibility on their shoulders. It's essential to recognize that they, too, are human beings with families, dreams, and fears. Our first responders are the backbone of our society, and we must never forget the sacrifices they make for our safety. What is it like for their spouse and children? Do they rest easy like I do when they hear sirens, or do they worry their loved one is on a route to be in harm's way? How do you show your appreciation for these wonderful servants?

Have you ever taken the time to observe the actions of children? They are uninhibited in their thinking and actions. Children possess an incredible gift—the boundless wonder of imagination. They can see things I take for granted. They can transform shapeless blobs into cozy houses and sticks with legs into magnificent horses in their early years. Yet, as they progress through school, particularly by the 2nd, 3rd, and definitely by the 4th grade, corrections, and comparisons start to creep in, stifling their creativity. Are we inadvertently teaching creativity out of our children? Perhaps my wonderful teacher friends can enlighten me about this. I see our culture, society, and families contribute to this blind spot. I suggest we encourage children to preserve their boundless imagination without judgment. While creative pursuits require refinement over time, it shouldn't erode their confidence. In fact, self-confidence often thrives alongside enhanced creativity, fostering a strong sense of self-worth. Imagination is the voice of daring. If there is anything godlike about God, it is that. He dared to imagine everything. Henry Miller I suggest breaking the conformity trap because this pressure can limit future innovation. History's creative giants—Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Edison, Steve Jobs, Marie Curie, Coco Chanel, Elon Musk, Ada Lovelace, and Walt Disney—were not conformists; they were pioneers who dared to dream differently. They were free to color outside the lines, think differently, and reshape their fields. I suggest nurturing the wonder of tomorrow's innovators, allowing them to explore their unique visions without fear of correction or conformity. Our children's untamed imaginations will fuel the future. As we celebrate the wonder of a child's imagination, let's ensure it remains a beacon of innovation, shaping a brighter world. By recognizing and exposing these blind spots in our educational systems and societal and cultural norms, we can cultivate a generation of thinkers who dare to dream differently, pushing the boundaries of what's possible. There is much difference between the status quo and imagination and creativity. How about you? Can you help pave the way for a more imaginative future that sparks the wonder of a child?

Have you ever been trapped in a relationship where you're receiving what you don't want? Perhaps it's negativity, mistrust, or even indifference. In such situations, it's worth pondering the concept that "we often receive what we're giving." This reflection can be a powerful catalyst for positive change in our relationships. I often talk to couples who want something from each other, and unbeknownst to them, they are withholding the same thing. If I want love, respect, or affirmation, I must give it away. The idea of giving what we want to receive isn't a new concept, but it is a powerful and transformative principle. You have probably heard me talk about catching others doing things right and well as opposed to catching each other doing things bad and wrong. Look at relationship as a two-way street. What I put into it is often what I'll get out of it. If we're constantly giving negativity, criticism, or mistrust, it's no surprise that others might mirror it back to us. It’s not material things that I’m alluding to. It encompasses kindness, love, empathy, and understanding, the intangible elements that enrich my life. One of the most beautiful aspects of giving what I want to receive is the positive ripple effect it creates. It can make a relationship where negativity and cynicism find little foothold because we've cultivated a culture of positivity through our actions. Consider the power of a smile. When you offer a genuine smile, you often receive one in return. In that brief moment, you've given a dose of warmth and received it back, reinforcing the cycle of positivity. This simple act of giving what you want to receive can transform your day and the day of those around you. There is no guarantee that I will get back what I give. But it does put me in a greater frame of mind that causes my day to be better. Giving what I want to receive is a profound and transformative principle that enriches my life on many levels.

What are you living for? Where are you going? Knowing the answer to these questions can provide a great sense of purpose. However, knowing how to get there is not always easy or evident. “The smallest of disciplines, practiced every day, start an incredible process that can change our lives forever.” Jim Rohn When I have a clear vision of where I want to go and what I want to achieve, breaking my journey down into smaller, manageable steps can be the key to accomplishing these goals, whether in my professional or personal life. This approach not only improves my results but also cultivates a sense of accomplishment and confidence. I talk about this in my book in the chapter called “What do you want?” In this chapter there is a *work sheet that allows you to identify goals or destinies that you would like to attain. It provides spaces to identify small changes of your actions or behaviors that over time can keep you focused on exactly what needs to be done and when. This becomes a roadmap that allows you to continue to stay focused by inputting data every day that gives a great picture of how you are doing with small changes that will produce big results. At the end of the week, I can assess my results to see how I did and what modifications I might want to change for next week. This worksheet allows me to focus each day on my destiny and not look at random periods during my journey and say, “I need to get started on this or I need to reorient my efforts.” This concept applies to work and home. It is great to have a balance of both as you spend precious time you will never get back. As I achieve these small goals, I accumulate a sense of accomplishment and confidence. Each milestone reached reinforces my belief in my abilities and the validity of my purpose. It's a self-perpetuating cycle of growth and self-assurance that propels me toward even greater achievements. The power of small improvements over time is not to be underestimated. How are you doing on your journey? Could small intentional steps help propel your desired destiny?

In my fast-paced life, it's easy to become snared by the routines and responsibilities that define my daily existence. These routines keep me on track but also distract me from looking for new and wonderful things that I take for granted all around me. At times, my negative bias plagues my thinking. When I become attuned to the positive things surrounding me this shift in perspective enhances my overall sense of well-being, reduces stress, and improves my relationships. I often overlook the little treasures. Yet, if I borrow a page from the book of children who see the world with fresh, unjaded eyes, I can learn to find beauty and joy in the simplest moments. Children possess an uncanny ability to find wonder in the world around them. They marvel at caterpillars, raindrops on a windowpane, or refractions of light. It's as if every day is an adventure filled with opportunities to explore and appreciate. As an adult, I can regain some of this childlike wonder by focusing on the little things that I take for granted. I suggest a gratitude journal as a simple yet profound tool for cultivating this sense of appreciation. By setting aside a few minutes each day to jot down at least five things I am grateful for, I can shift my attention from the mundane routines to the extraordinary details that make life beautiful and fresh again. A journal encourages me to become more alert and notice the small gestures, kind words, or moments of serenity that might otherwise slip by unnoticed. Consider the smile of a stranger on your morning commute, the aroma of your favorite morning coffee, or the comforting embrace of a cool, air-conditioned home on a hot evening. These everyday gifts surround us, waiting to be acknowledged and cherished. When I train myself to focus on them, I find joy and contentment in the simplest pleasures. A gratitude journal can also be a powerful antidote that redirects my focus to find grand things. Some of the most hopeful people I know take the time to find and document their exciting discoveries during the day. How about you? Could you prosper by re-engaging your childlike enthusiasm and maintaining a gratitude journal? Watch for the blind spots. I appreciate you reading, commenting, and sharing these posts.

For many years, I believed that being right was everything. I felt a personal victory. 🏁 I harbored an aversion to being wrong and did all I could to be the winner. It was an absolute win to prove my point of view and slay the opposition. It's human nature to want to be right. The feeling of being right can be intoxicating; it boosts our self-esteem and validates our knowledge. However, this very desire can sometimes lead to arrogance and a disregard for the perspectives of others, especially others that are important to me. How embarrassing this is to admit. What happens when that triumph inadvertently makes others feel wrong? It's a dilemma I've often grappled with—the desire to be right versus the empathy for those who end up on the wrong side of the conversation. 😮 Wow! When I need to be right, others get to be wrong. I despise being wrong; when I'm right, that is the only position left. 😖 Ouch! I needed help to uncover this. [Blind Spot] It's important to note that no one enjoys being wrong. It's a blow to the ego and our self-esteem. Yet, as much as I hate being wrong, there’s a delicate art to handling these kinds of situations. It's equally essential to acknowledge that nobody is right all the time. There’s room for error, even when I am convinced of my correctness, and admitting this to myself makes accepting an opposing viewpoint with grace easier. Instead of boasting in the moment, I remind myself that being right is fleeting and that humility can be an influential teacher. Shame played a huge part in my not wanting to appear wrong, so being right was my only option. The shame pit is a miserable place to hang out. My new focus on humility revolves around respecting others' points of view without trying to prove them wrong and refusing to allow other's opinion to put them in harm's way. 👉How about you?

I talked to someone who was describing their manager as harsh and negative. He was great at managing everything but his people. This manager was creating adverse conversations behind his back. Only through feedback can there be improvement. I'm reminded of the story of The Emperor’s New Clothes. [Blind Spot] As I journey down life's highway, I often wonder what others say behind my back. Have you ever asked yourself what may cause them to whisper to others rather than share it with you? Some keep pertinent information private from us for reasons unknown to us. Do they fear conflict or reprisal? Whatever it is, if others whisper behind my back, I have room for improvement. Feedback, whether given openly or whispered in hushed tones, serves as a mirroring effect of reflecting our actions, attitudes, and behaviors. While it can be uncomfortable, it holds the potential to transform us into better versions of ourselves. Some of us fear confrontation, which may prevent us from sharing our thoughts directly. Discussing concerns or criticisms with others is easier than facing the potential conflict head-on or the fear of reprisal. Additionally, some might be concerned about hurting our feelings or causing unnecessary tension, making them opt for the secrecy of whispered conversations. How much more effective could I be if I was more vulnerable with others and invited their whispered words? Feedback, even when not presented directly, can reveal aspects of ourselves that we may not be aware of. It can shed light on our blind spots, allowing us to address them and become more self-aware. It's essential to remember that not all whispered words are negative. People may also share positive observations about us when we're not around. This feedback boosts our confidence and inspires us to continue our positive traits and behaviors. What others say behind our backs can be valuable for personal growth. By understanding why people might not say things directly and approaching feedback with an open mind, we can transform whispers into opportunities for self-improvement and become more self-aware. Do you dare want to know what others are whispering about you? I do. Watch for the blind spots. I appreciate you reading, commenting, and sharing these posts.

In 2017, Hurricane Harvey struck our area as a category-four hurricane. Wind and flooding were catastrophic. Our church opened as a Red Cross disaster facility for 150 people. At one time, there were over 400 refugees in that facility. I was there as a Stephen Minister to provide care and comfort to these displaced families and individuals. I noticed on my rounds a man who was very short and stocky. He was covered with tattoos on his entire body, including his head and some on his face. He looked unapproachable, but I knew I needed to check on him. He greeted me with a smile and a firm handshake as I approached him. It is not easy to share my blind spots. Here is a judgment I regret. I find a natural inclination to categorize and judge others. Our brains are wired to make quick assessments and snap judgments to navigate the complex social world. However, this tendency to categorize and judge can be misleading and often leads us astray. One of the most significant issues with judging and categorizing others is that it oversimplifies their complexity. When I label someone based on their characteristics or actions, I overlook the depth of their experiences, beliefs, and emotions. This oversimplification led me to stereotype and assume things about this man that were false and unfair. [Blind Spot] After introducing myself to the man, I found a very soft and gentle man. He was fascinating to listen to. His history was troubled and full of violence. His early life was about survival, and he didn’t have a chance to go to school. He had turned his life around and was married and had two children. After sharing our stories, he asked if he could pray for me as I worked with these refugees. Wow! How many times have I judged and not allowed myself to encounter someone different from me? How many misunderstandings and judgments have I allowed to keep me smug and comfortable? I have passed judgment on to the rich and beautiful as well. The Big Playbook gives us clear insight on this, “Do not judge by outward appearances, but judge with righteous judgment.” John 7:24 Conversation is my best way of getting to know others, not by physical appearance. How about you? Have you been as guilty as I have been of judging others without knowing them? Watch for the blind spots. I appreciate you reading, commenting, and sharing these posts.

I often look at what and how others do and say things that I wouldn't. At times, I get confused and wonder why they do or say these things; after all, doing things my way is the most practical, productive, and efficient. Why are they starting from this spot? What does he expect to gain by doing it that way? Why did they use those colors? How will they get to the end going that way? These questions and worries get me in trouble at times. It is so easy for me to see and say things according to my thinking. I need to remember there are many ways to do something. It is easy to think that everyone sees things the way I see them. Oh, how I forget how God has created us vastly different. And for a reason. [Blind Spot] Ouch! We all have a perspective that meets our standards, yet it is not the perspective held by others. If everyone thought the same, we would miss out on the beauty of the human experience. Moreover, diversity of thought is the bedrock of innovation. Embracing diverse perspectives enriches my life and helps me evolve as an individual. After all, when individuals from varied backgrounds and different perspectives collaborate, they bring unique ideas to the table. These diverse viewpoints often lead to groundbreaking solutions and advancements in various fields. I've learned to practice empathy and active listening instead of suffering when others don't think like me. Engaging in respectful conversations with people who hold different beliefs has helped me grow intellectually and emotionally. This story has another aspect to it. People who are pushy and forceful can be too much for me at times, so there is a limit. I have some people in my life who have different perspectives and behaviors that I find challenging to relate to and learn from. I find myself pulling away from them. It is about incompatibility, and if I allow them to impose their thoughts and behaviors, I will feel bullied. I will not be bullied. How about you? Is it easy to allow others to have their opinion? Is it easy to set limits for those who violate your values? Watch for the blind spots. I appreciate you reading, commenting, and sharing these posts.

I often encounter something that stops me in my tracks. It is so easy to get derailed. When my plan doesn't get implemented, or I get ambushed along the way, I sometimes want to give up or go into my fight-or-flight mode. It isn't easy to see a new future or direction. Often, I allow my emotions to get the best of me. It is only natural to feel disappointed or distracted during this time; I can't see the future. At one time, a traffic light on the way to my office was terribly congested. I found a back road that allowed me to skirt around the light. One morning, I took the shortcut again, and when I got to the street I was looking for, there was a policeman with three cars pulled over ahead of me. Man, here I am late already, and now I have to face this guy. My mind raced to being late, my insurance going up, and I have an excellent driving record, now I will blemish that record. Nothing indicated this was a private road. I had every excuse ready and why I should be given a warning at most. When he finally made his way back to me, nothing I said stopped him from writing profusely and with a smile. He said, “Tell it to the judge, have a great day.” Man was I fuming. Injustice, unfairness, unreasonableness, and other things rattled in my anxious mind. I got to the office and took care of what I needed to do to catch up. It began to dawn on me that I could not do anything but follow the process. The outcome? No ticket and probation for six months. It’s interesting how, in the moment, my anxious brain took over and masked my intellect. [Blind Spot] Of course, this depends on the severity of the circumstances. Small things allow a swifter recovery. When I encounter significant issues, as quickly as possible I ask myself the question, "So what…now what?" This question allows me to focus on gathering facts rather than analyzing issues using my emotions. How about you? Can you employ this mantra for your benefit? Watch for the blind spots.

Parenting can be one of the most blissful or challenging issues we face. The balance of juggling responsibilities, decisions, and emotions can sometimes be one of the most difficult tasks in life. The outcome of making decisions for our children today might be absent for years. One common challenge is when the parents allow the children to divide them. In healthy families, parents are at the pinnacle of the family. They are in charge and are the decision-makers. Ideally, they are in sync and share common goals and interests for their children. This doesn't always happen. Children are naturally resourceful and observant, quick to notice the differences in their parents' opinions, attitudes, and reactions. This innate ability can sometimes lead them to exploit these differences to their advantage. When a child wants something that one parent is more likely to grant than the other, they may approach the more permissive parent first, presenting their request with sweet words and innocent eyes. This is a game children learn inherently, an age-old issue that is not taught yet it continues to be practiced as if it were. I call it splitting the parents. I hear, "Go ask your mom or dad." This is when that parent is busy, distracted, or even disinterested. One parent tends to be stricter, while the other tends to be more lenient. I observe the stricter one becomes, the more lenient the other becomes. This is circular and can create a severe imbalance between the two, resulting in a new problem that is unrelated to the child's role. This issue may morph into parental discontent, creating a whole new problem. It will appear in their demeanor and have an effect on their relationship with the children. Coalitions between parents and children can cause a terrible imbalance in the family. Splitting the parents is in children of all ages, yes, even with adult children. Remember, the coalition in healthy families is between the parents who remain unsplit by the children. Parents who are united show their children strength and confidence. Are you balanced as parents?
