- My Reflections
My truth is not the truth. It’s what I believe to be true based on my life filters; value, beliefs, experiences, and fears. There are times when we can feel so sure about being right, that we are willing to sacrifice that over connection in some of more meaningful relationships.
In essence, we become self-righteous. We become critical thinkers by being right and making someone else wrong. Perhaps, if we could become skeptical (curious) of our own thoughts, perhaps, we could choose connection over being right in the moment.
Next time you find yourself in a bump with someone you care about, try this approach.

For the word of GOD is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joins and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
- Hebrew 4:12 NIV
How’s it going? Busy, is often a common reply.
In fact, it is our minds that are the busiest. Neuroscientist have said that the average person has 70,000 thoughts per day. Of those 70k thoughts 80% are the same thoughts they had yesterday. On top of that 70% of those thoughts are negative.
No wonder we have an anxiety epidemic. Anxiety keep us in the hurricane of past and future thinking. It reminds of what we may lost and what we don’t have or perhaps worst case scenarios.
Gratitude focuses us on what we do have. It brings us into the eye of the hurricane; which is this present moment. In the now is where life happens. It is where we find flow.
God is in the flow. If it has flow, it’s good to go. If it has no flow, just let it go and just say no.
An attitude of gratitude increases are performance potential in whatever role we play in life, whether in business, school or personal interactions.

Today, I’d like to share some key strategies I’ve found most impactful on this journey of personal growth.
Performance

Leadership
Leadership is where interaction and influence happen. The influence that comes from a higher level of consciousness and awareness is of greater impact. Leaders who lead themselves intentionally, and with a definite of purpose, become leaders who lead others with greater influence and level of effectiveness.
