We are what we do every day!
Are you happy with your life? Do you like it?
If not, you need to change what you do daily.
We are what we do every day. So, we are all things, activities, habits, and thoughts we repeatedly do.
“Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.” —Aristotle

Stop whining and start winning
Tampa, FL – Stop whining and start winning
Winners create a mindset that happens when incremental choices become their being. Winners might lose a big game, miss an important shot or even have a business fail. But winners don’t make excuses or whine, they learn from mistakes or failures and grow. They analyze what to work on and focus on becoming better for when the opportunity comes again.
Winners expect a positive result and do not rely on hope. They create their own destiny by incremental improvements every single day. Start winning and stop whining.

Overcoming Fear
Marietta, GA: Overcoming Fear is Courage
I was rereading Jack London’s classic, White Fang and the recurring theme of fear, courage and struggle which is depicted so clearly and beautifully.
We develop courage when we confront our fears and adversity. Life can be harsh at times, focusing on being on task in the moment which grounds our thinking. Don’t let anxiety and fear take root.

Make Encouragement a Habit
When people need Christ
One of my favorite life mantras has always been “Always be kinder than necessary. Everyone is fighting some sort of battle”.
In the Holy Bible Apostle Paul, through God’s wisdom and Spirit, has encouraged us to be kind to people.
“Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” Ephesians 4:32
Today, I encourage and challenge you to be kind only to one person. We can be kind when having God in our life.
Genuine kindness is great!

Becoming great
Marietta, GA – Becoming great….
“Start where you are,
Use what you have,
Do what you can.”
– Arthur Ashe
Arthur Ashe was a fantastic tennis player who helped change the world with his talents and gifts. Even though Arthur retired in his early thirties, he became known for his determination to leave the world a better place. His speech at the United Nations was broadcast far and wide as a call to invest in AIDS research and inner city improvement.
Be encouraged that you can make a difference in someone’s life like Arthur did. You will never know how many people watch you in a personal and work context. You too can change the world by subtle contributions

Relationomics
Kennesaw, GA – Relationomics
“Facebook is everyone else’s highlight reel.”
– Dr. Randy Ross
Dr. Ross presented his latest book at a luncheon in Marietta, GA in 2020 and I was able to speak with him afterwards. Our relationships are found beyond our physical reach as Facebook has shown us. We watch others, others watch us. Developing strong bonds with a few good relationships can extend way beyond just “who you know” to include “who knows you”, and your reputation via relationships.

PS. Bryan Jostworth is more than a great brother in law. He’s also a terrific role model in being a great relationship builder. I have quietly watched his integrity over thirty years and can say with certainty that we are known by our relationships and not by words alone.
Virtue and Veracity
Kennesaw, GA – Virtue and Veracity
“Lead boldly, shine brightly.”
We admire these two traits in good leaders. Who do you know that displays these characteristics?
Have you told them?

ps. Today’s shout is to Terry Sellers at AT&T. Terry incorporates an attitude of winning with a veracity to lead others well.
Do good work
Kennesaw, GA – Do good work
“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.” Colossians 3:23
We were created in God’s image and called to be productive which glorifies him. Doing everything to the best of our abilities is required. When Christ returns we will have to give an accurate account of our service. See Romans 14:12
