Matt Wilson: Yellow Brick Method

Anger led Saul to try to kill his son Jonathan.

He was pissed off at David, because David was honoring God and growing in popularity.

Saul tried to kill him time and time again but could not, which made him afraid of him.

Jonathan, Saul's son, was best friends with David and helped protect him. For this, Saul almost killed his own son.

The moral of the story, is that your anger, if unleashed can inflict mortal harm to those you love the most.

I have a tendency to get into intense work mode and that can steal the joy I would otherwise experience.

I LOVE when I bring the fun and feel the ENTHUSIASM of high-performance with people I care about.

Take a look at whatever you have to do and see how you can bring more POSITIVE ENERGY into the experience of it!

Want to eliminate creative blocks immediately?

Want to live less in your head and more with your feet on the ground?

Start with the ordinary.

Dare to be dull.

Just say it in the way that is most natural to you.

So many times I react in ways that are defensive and argumentative -- even with those I love the MOST. Maybe ONLY with those I love the most.

I learned this past weekend a framework for bringing more peace into my communication by reading Nonviolent Communication by Marshall Rosenberg.

In this episode, share with you how I was blowing it and how I learned this framework to NOT ONLY ask better questions, but also help those I love the most communicate with more compassion and empathy with me.

This book has changed lives. Enjoy the episode!

A gratitude practice can instantly transport you from scarcity to abundance.

It opens you up to receive because you become aware and thankful for what you already have.

I share the simple tool I learned 10 years ago from one of the pioneers of positive psychology, Shawn Achor.

As a dad, you want the best for your kids. You want them to break through fear barriers.

As a leader, we are called to want the best for our team. Build your team and they will build the company, they will accomplish the mission.

BUT if we lose sight of this, we begin to use people rather than help them grow into the greatest version of themselves!

Most good men are hiding in good lives.

They are playing safe, nice and small in the name of humility.

What if that is ALL WRONG?!

What if surrendering to God meant willing to go ALL-IN on His calling for you???

As men we live in a land of liars and must stop lying to ourselves and others about the truth of where we are and what we want.

Nothing of lasting value can be built on a lie.

As a leader, you must be willing to stand on truth, face truth, and live in truth.
