Living Life The 2021 Way

 
Picture
I saw a meme the other day that made me laugh out loud, and you can see it on the left side of this blog entry.  While not knowing who did this, we can all appreciate the sentiments behind the imagery.  Yes, 2020 - the year of "clear and great vision" - was a compilation of multiple messes that has left many people befuddled, frustrated, and out-right anxious with what the future may hold.  Will 2021 be a repeat or improvement?  Will things in 2021, as many are thinking, be even worse that the year just completed?  Honestly, nobody knows; however, we do hold the power of our lives in our hands.  Let's look at living life the 2021 way.

This Time of Year (and Life)

 
Picture
We stand at the cusp of closing one year and moving into a new one, and this time often produces reflection and goal setting.  Unfortunately, most of the "new year's resolutions" end in abysmal failure - some studies have indicated that as many as 80% of those resolutions fail and then claim that we should abandon any such practice.  Let's stop there.  Just because there has been failure, does it mean that we should throw the "baby out with the bathwater"?  Should we really stop goal-setting or making resolutions?  I think not and will explain further below by looking at something that jumped off the page at me from Luke 21.

Your Aim Advances Your Accuracy

 
In seeing the title of this blog, you probably went to the often-quoted mantra of "aim small, miss small."  While that may be true, it is NOT the focus of this entry.  The critical component is reading the title is understanding the process.  We want results but fail in mapping out the steps to get to those results.  In other words, if you want to improve the quality of your accuracy, you have to improve the quality of your aim.  Keep reading to learn more...

What is Fear Anyway?

 
Picture
Have you stopped to ever think about the question mentioned above?  If not, then pause - RIGHT NOW - and define that "f word" for yourself.  Several years ago, I had a leader that sent me the image to the left.  The image says fear has two meanings and we are the ones that personally choose our meaning of fear in our circumstances.  Yes, can clearly see the emphasis on the terms above that place it all within our realm of responsibility.  That personal nature is where we will focus on today's life and leadership blog.

The Figurehead

 
Picture
If you read the first of this new series, then you notice the title is a bit different.  You are right because I want to check your historical and Biblical knowledge.  Answer this simple question:  who was the second king of Israel?  I know you just answered in your mind, then looked at the title and thought something like this - "Well, I'm not gonna waste my time here.  This author is a way off base because there is no way that David was just a figurehead."  I would encourage you to read on because all is not as it seems.  A definitive lesson or two can be clearly seen from the second king as he faced challenges stemming from Saul - the Initiator.
