Chapter 2 of Proverbs addresses why it is important to seek
(10)“When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is
In our lives it is easy to get wrapped up in things that don’t
So, for me, this is a great reminder of the importance of being discerning. We don't always have a choice to keep junk mail or unnecessary information from coming our way, but we can use our experience and knowledge to discern what we need to pay attention to and keep and what things we can let go by the way side or perhaps put away for possible future reference. Being a person who seeks and appreciates wisdom and knowledge is a good thing and it is beneficial to help us excel in our abilities and to be beneficial in our professional and personal relationships,

Episode 6 – 499: Box Series – Little Boxes Not All The Same
Let’s talk about one size not fitting all.
There is a song that talks about little boxes on the hillside that all look just the same, and it speaks to the lack of variance in experiences, expectation, and outcome. The reality is that no matter how similar our experiences may seem, they are not identical and one size, one solution, one approach will

Let’s talk about the importance of what’s outside the box,
It is great to follow the guidance and the rules, however, at some point one must move forward to uncharted courses to make advances and new discoveries. When going outside of the box, the box still remains a constant reference point. There is much to be discovered for our benefit beyond what is currently known. I’ve told the story before about the newlywed who cut off the end of the roast before cooking it. She had seen her mother and grandmother do the same thing and she assumed this

Let’s talk about the importance of what’s in the box
Knowing what’s in the box can help us. When we know what is in the box, we understand the tools and resources that are available to us. When we know what is in the box we better understand
As leaders in an organization, it’s important to ensure people
These ideas also translate into our personal lives. When we know what tools we have available and we work on ensuring we have the tools we need to be good communicators, good supporters, and good mentors and role models that enable others to do the same, we all become better equipped to have fulfilling relationships.
The important thing to keep in mind is that knowing what resources are available and how they are structured, is foundational to growing and maturing within an organization or any structure of people. So, let’s keep up with what’s in our box.

Let’s talk about Checklists
It’s that time of the year to take inventory of the past year and
Sometimes the checklists we use are necessary for us to ensure we have reviewed a list of items necessary for us to proceed confidently, such as an airplane pilot’s pre-flight inspection. Other times the checklists we create are more goal oriented.
When we make plans for the future, it is important that there be
And finally a word of caution, be careful of checking the boxes only to go along with the crowd or the social agenda of the moment. If there is no commitment or understanding behind what you are doing, the energy you are expending is likely a waste and can undermine your positive impact, influence, and success.
When we connect with our purpose and passion, and live a lifestyle that is in alignment with our purpose and passion, and we’ll be checking the boxes of life that matter.

Merry Christmas! Today is a day that many people around the
In our personal and business lives we have the opportunity to give to others and receive from others. When we truly understand the capacity we have to be of service to others, we can see it as the awesome responsibility that it is. We have the capacity to build others up, to speak and share confidence. Sometimes
Likewise, we have the capacity to receive gifts from others. And like physically packaged gifts, the gifts we receive can come in different sizes, some can be used immediately, and some require practice and skill to handle effectively.
In all of this, the important thing is that the gift be opened and utilized. If we do not acknowledge or accept the gifts we have available to us, they are of no value. So today, be encouraged to

Episode 6 – 493: Relationship Progression and Change
Let’s talk about the life cycle of relationships. In our working relationships there are shifts and changes also. We can grow and mature to being knowledgeable and experienced to a degree that allows us to see breakthrough and new discoveries and to support the growth of others. As we grow and mature, what we benefit from in a relationship will necessarily change.
When our ability to contribute to a relationship and our needs in
In the professional work setting, we also have the ability to experience growth. We must be mindful that the types of relationships that helped us get to a new level of opportunity and success, may run their useful lifecycle and the relationship may require re-evaluation and restructuring. Sometimes we seem to mature in our relationships almost instinctively and we assume greater scopes of responsibility or new roles. Other times
If we are being truthful to ourselves and others, we can
