Meaningful Mondays - Arrows Out

Focus all of your energy not on fighting the old, but on building the new.

There is nothing wrong with this country that what's right with this country can't fix.

"Discovering what works and doing more of it is generally a positive, enjoyable, and empowering activity for all concerned."
- Dr. Mark Mckergow

"My intention is not to focus on what we want to fix. Rather, let's focus on what we want to become."

If you're looking for a way to change your world, you will find it right under your nose.

"Use your smile to change the world, don't let the world change your smile."
- Chinese Proverb

"Sometimes your joy is the source of your happiness, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy."
- Thich Nhat Hanh

Contribution Driven

• Is your future destination-driven? Or, is your future contribution-driven?
• People do not experience your intentions, they experience your actions.
• If your habits are not aligned with your dreams (future), you can either choose to elevate your behavior or lower your dreams - your choice.

Kindness

What is the power we all have, that if we made the commitment to use kindness every day, we would live in a more meaningful world?

What is the one thing only you can take responsibility for?

Which future are you giving courage to?

What would happen if you had just one major goal and one clear path in each key area of your life?

Are you a better person today?

Three questions as you plan for a year from now:

1. How will I be different?
2. What will say "no" that I said "yes" to in 2020?
3. What will I possess in 2021 that I didn't have, or wish I would have had in 2020?

Disinterdigitization. What is it? And, how might you protect your family from it?

Don't catch yourself saying, "I can't believe this year is almost over!" Do this instead.

Go, Do, Be...

Will I be better or worse for having gone through this experience?"

• By going, I learn where to go.
• By doing, I learn what to do.
• By BE'ing, I learn what I am capable of BEcoming.

"To learn and not to do is really not to learn. To know and not to do is really not to know."
- Stephen R. Covey

A problem is simply an unanswered question.

How might I....... so that I can.....?

1. What are the possible reasons I am noticing this symptom?
2. What isn't happening that, if it didn't happen, would cause the perceived symptom to either narrow or disappear?
3. What is happening, that if it stopped happening, would cause the perceived symptom to either narrow or disappear?

Perceptions Rule

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure."
- Marianne Williamson

Can I manage my perceptions so that I can develop the characteristics of even greater leadership?
