Living By Design - Part 2

In the last post (click HERE to see it) we introduced Stephen Covey's idea that things are created twice... first mentally and then physically.
We also had the challenge: Are we living by default or by design?

How do we become someone who lives by design?
We begin with the end in mind.
We look forward to who we want to become and what we want to have accomplished.

If you've ever been funerals... there are the one's where people will be missed by their close relatives... and then there are one's where it seems the whole community comes out, and people speak of someone who deeply impacted their lives. You sit there thinking, "Boy, if I could be just a little like so-and so... my life would have been well lived.

So... who do you want to become (your character)?
What is it that you want to have accomplished? (I'm sure that climbing the corporate ladder or owning the house with a white picket fence, a batch, and all the toys doesn't even feature!)

So what's standing in your way right now?
What do you need to start intentionally doing to become that person?

Leave your thoughts by commenting. I can't wait to hear what you have to say!

Lets Do The Time Warp Again - Part 2

If you haven't had a chance to read part 1 of this series then please click on this link and read part 1 before proceeding further.

So what were your guesses?

The word I'm talking about is being intentional.
People who pre-plan their time (not in a stuffy and stifling way... and not in a way that accounts for every minute) in a strategic manner and who are intentional about what they want to accomplish can achieve an incredible amount!

The reverse is true too. If you have no plan, nothing that you are trying to achieve and strive for... then the chances are that your days are sailing past you.

So how do we become intentional?

What have you tried and practiced to manage your time resource?


I Look forward to your comments : )

A Great Thought On Potential

This is a quote out of a book I'm reading called Graced-based Parenting:

"Untapped potential is a crime to humanity, an insult to God, and a shame for an individual."

What are you intentionally doing this week to develop your potential?

I'd love to hear your thoughts : )
