Description

Amidst the intense chaos and change in the world, must we need another disturbance? Whether it be a gentle whisper, or a kick in the butt, we all need constant change in our lives. Good ones.

I put this together with the commitment that all who take part will be disturbed into a whole new realm of living. The key lies in the heart. I hold on to this encouragement by a mentor who “confused me at a higher level” more times I can remember, Dr. George Blake: "Disturbances to a good heart lead to positive change."

It’s a wrap! Or is it? Whatever, are you having fun yet?! Well, this is it! There’s no turning back! It’s now or never. Listen on and see how to end the week strong with practical to dos – and not to dos – with whatever energy you have left within you! “Don’t be discouraged. It’s often the last key in the bunch that opens the lock.”
Almost there, just a couple of days, it’s Thor’s Day! One last thunderous push to the finish! And you’re either ready to Thank God it’s Friday or appeal to Him to extend or delay this day! For indeed, the opposition can be strongest when you’re near your destination. Sometimes, just making it through the day is enough reason to give thanks. Can we we still finish strong? Listen on!
Halfway through, do you have what it takes to see it through? Perhaps not? Which is AOK! You don’t have to have it all under control, according to plan, right on schedule. Especially when so much change calls for constant adjustment and even re-direction. For the sake of the people we serve, however, specifically those we value most, we need to keep going, “come hell or high water.” Let’s make this a wonderful, amazing Wednesday!
How to re-start after I messed up? I want to maintain the good, set aside the bad, and continue to aim for an epic finish! Living my week to the fullest, moment by moment, regardless of circumstances…and still meeting my deliverables and “KPIs!” (Key Performance Indicators). Let’s make this indeed, a thrilling Tuesday!
How does one really start well, so that we look forward to an amazing end? And what if we start on the wrong foot, or already overwhelmed or completely messed up? Help me recover, and not just for mere survival but to really live life “to the fullest” this present week?! Listen up, and learn, and have a Magical Monday!
Finally, Thank God it’s Friday! If it’s been a painful week, at least you know you have a breather come the weekend (Well, for most of you, I assume). But blessed are you who believe! Indeed, the race is not to the swift but to those who keep on running! Save the best for last, just like God did when created Man and Woman on Friday, or Frigg/Fria’s day, celebrating the wife of Odin!
Almost there, but not quite! You need all the energy – and continuing wisdom – to finish the week strong. Be inspired with the thought that today is the mighty “Thor’s” day! The God of Thunder! There is now more behind you than there is still left in front of you, believe you have what it takes!
Half day through the work week and you now have a clearer idea of what’s going for and what’s going against you (that is, the “Force Field Analysis” framework). The balance of reflecting on how you’re doing, and the need to just keep going. The “hump day” as the challenge of “getting over the hump” is now upon you!
Haha, re-start so soon? Or are you just finally warmed up? The week is most certainly underway and building momentum will require a new set of activities compared to getting started. Maxwell said it best: “Motivation gets you started, discipline gets you there.” Keep going friend, the race – or perhaps the journey - is underway!
It’s the start of the week! Or is it? Wasn’t Saturday the 7th day for creation and the day of the rest? Then that makes Sunday the first day! Whatever, it’s an opportunity to begin planning your efforts to make the most the week. “Your imagination is your preview of life's coming attractions.” --Albert Einstein
Human beings grow in community and in the context of teams. Growing alone, apart from community is not our design as human beings. “It is not good for man – or woman – to be alone,” is not only in the context of marriage. So, the answer is yes, you really have to grow together with that person, and yes, that being straight from the gates of you know where!
Transformation combines the old and new, “preserving the Core while stimulating progress.” You can’t keep growing and transforming to the point even the core and the non-negotiable are no longer visible! God made you, you!
“Work-Life Balance” opens the opportunity for growth and keeps you agile. Without the right mix of priorities, we will be a slave to what consumes us most, and then very little growth, if any, will come as a result.
Overcoming brings strength and maturity. A survivor is the best testimony to future survivors, so stay alive, tell your story, and multiply your kind. We need more examples of those who have gone before us, journeyed through hell and high water, and whose experiences will guide us through!
Growth doesn’t just happen, it is first decided upon, then acted upon. Have you made that choice today? For growth to be continuous, we need to open ourselves and our ways to change with a daily decision. Respond, not react, and win…
Ok, get ready to take notes! 12 ways to live “THE NEW NORMAL” for a better chance of survival, and maybe, just maybe, great success!
So many of what the world “needed” just a year ago have changed for people, for families, for businesses and entire communities. Are you still of value to them, ensuring yourself of a place in the economics of supply and demand, and in meeting the needs of a world clearly in great need? Let’s take a quick but effective look at how YOU can make sure of your contribution, and yes, your personal satisfaction and fulfillment.
To listen means to “be willing to be changed.” So many ideas, suggestions, advices…but how will we “take to heart?” Compliance is key to non negotiable new norms but not a few will struggle with this as the changes don’t just call for an evolutionary response, but a revolutionary one! Are you ready for a change of heart?!
The New Normal, if there is such a thing, calls for a new way of living given the dramatic changes in our environment. In every area of life, now rules, now communication channels, now workplace arrangements, new medical protocols. Believe it or not, most important is the new way of managing thyself! It’s time to put yourself, first!
We will go through temptations, and the more we progress, the more challenging the temptations will be. But let them be our badges of honor! Here’s to a lifetime of facing battles – and temptations – together, and maybe, just maybe we all will be rewarded with an amazing victory.
