We all struggle to show up at our best from time to time. 

Sometimes we are embarrassed to show up fully based on who might be watching. 

Sometimes we might be tired, or we don't know if what we are doing has any impact on the group we are serving. 

What do we do then? 

We show up for one person. We serve one person. We focus on one person. 

We show up for an Audience of One. 

I was talking to a my dear friend, Josh, years back about Navy Seals training. At some point in the conversation I said something lousy like, "I could never do that." Josh, whose spirit and perspective I love and respect deeply, said, "I believe I could do it, because it's been done."

That was an anchor moment for me. I dropped one there and I'll always remember that mindset. I'm still working on it for myself, but I'll always remember that moment. 

Our anchors are reminders of times we've succeeded, or times we tried in the face of adversity, or lessons we've learned. I'll bet it doesn't take you more than a few seconds to recall memories that might have you scratching your head as to why you remember those things out of all of the things you could possibly remember. You have anchors that you can reflect on when the going gets tough, to help remind you of what you've done before, and encourage you to the fact that you could do it again. Thanks for listening! 

Some encouragement today on keeping your cool in all situations. 

When we make the moment bigger than it needs to be, it clouds our judgment and can lead to decisions that are unhealthy and unhelpful for everyone involved. 

Tune in to hear how narrowly avoided being held in a Florida jail, and how you can do the same. 

Don't hide behind this lie we tell ourselves. 

If only I knew what to do, or how to do it, THEN I'd go for it.

Tune in for the encouragement.

What Are You Nurturing? 

Sometimes, the declaration that we'd like to make things better is met with resistance because people assume it means they aren't doing things well. 

Think about it...

Try telling your spouse you'd like to make your marriage/relationship better or stronger. It's actually an admirable desire, but a conversation that should be had very carefully. 

The same thing goes for just about any time you want to challenge someone else's idea, way of doing things, or approach. 

We gotta learn to love our life.
