Has life kicked you down? Maybe you have fallen on your face? Perhaps you think your best days are behind you? Some have even had their heart broken. 

What do you do now?

You could shut down emotionally. You could build walls. You could quit, or you could get up, dust yourself off, and dream again.

John Maxwell's 4 Steps To Develop, Equip and Develop Others

1. I DO IT. First, I learn to do the job. I have to understand the why as well as the how, and I try to perfect my craft.

2. I DO IT, AND YOU WATCH. I demonstrate it while you observe, and during the process, I explain what I am doing and why.

3. YOU DO IT, AND I WATCH. I give you permission and authority to take over the job, but I stay with you to offer advice, correction and encouragement.

4. YOU DO IT. Once you're proficient, I step back and let you work alone. The learner is drawn up to a higher level, and the teacher is free to move on to higher things.

Do you ever think about what you think about? Many times, what we think about does not serve us in any way. 

But the good news is, we don't have to think about whatever come to mind. We can CHOOSE our thoughts... we can TRAIN ourselves to only think about what serves us; and that is important because the quality of our thoughts will determine the quality of our life. 

In this episode, Mike discusses the importance of focusing on what is beautiful and good. "Don't use your thoughts to feed your history. Use your thoughts to feed your destiny."
