What is one word that you can swap and change the meaning of a sentence?

Proverbs 18:4 “A person's words can be life-giving water”

Have to vs. Get to

Obligation vs. opportunity

I have to Wake up early tomorrow = obligation (a bit negative)

I get to wake up early tomorrow = opportunity (Eger for the chance at new)

What was the last good thing that supported you? It's a great question to ask yourself and others because it always puts you in a good mood. 

Let me know the last good surprise you had or gave to someone else.

Let's make today great! See you next time!

Do you like to organize your workspace or any area of your life? How do you get into a better workflow? Are there things that continually frustrate you when you have a task to do? Try asking yourself this question. What is my workflow? 

1. Know What Works

2. Try Something New

3. Refocus (be honest)

It will make you a better human! I dare you to make a PB&J sandwich LEFT-HANDED (or off-handed). Tag me in a picture of your attempt @nate_port 

See you next week! 

How do you determine who your friends are? 

#5 - Don’t confuse NICE with KIND

Nice is about comfort Kindness is about making people better

FRIENDS = NICE people you are willing to go to the MOVIES with

TEAMMATES = KIND people you are willing to go to BATTLE with

WE TAKE BETTER CARE OF THINGS WE OWN THAN THINGS WE RENT!

Own Your Actions! 

How I act

How I treat others

How I act see difficulties

How I treat my immediate

How I treat my team

#4 - NOW is the BIG TIME

It’s easy to look towards what’s next and not appreciate where I am now.

Reach out!

#3 - Small Problems are GOOD, Big Problems are BETTER

This is a small problem compared to the big problems I want to face

How do you act when problems come into your life? Fight Flight or Freeze? If you want to do anything worthwhile in your life it is going to come with so many problems that need to be addressed. These problems are the only thing that stands in the way of growth. How are you going to deal with problems in your life? 

Question to ask yourself: How do I make people feel? 

I want them to feel known and needed. I want to inspire people to be at their best! Not passing judgment on their actions or performance makes them feel judged but rather inspires them by knowing that I see them and they have a purpose. 

How do you want to make people feel?

What are the things you can hold your actions up to and see if they are acting within line of what you want to be. What are those pre-determined ways you handle yourself? 

The question to ask yourself: What's it like to be around me? We often have in mind what we think we are like to be around. But what if we actually had a standard to hold ourselves to and that others could hold us to? Kinda scary right? 

MY PLUMB LINES

#1 - TOUGH, SELFLESS,  & DISCIPLINED

#2 - Everyone wants to be KNOWN & NEEDED

#3 - Small Problems are GOOD, Big Problems are BETTER

#4  -NOW is the BIG TIME

#5 - Don’t confuse NICE with KIND

WE TAKE BETTER CARE OF THINGS WE OWN THAN THINGS WE RENT!

Conversations are designed to keep the conversation going. Otherwise, it’s a monologue. I get all the o monologues I need watching TED talks. When I am with someone I want to engage. I want to ask & answer questions. I want to solve problems. I want to hear stories of success and tough times to celebrate or comfort people.

So I changed my mindset and asked myself this question.

- How can I be the gasoline to ignite any spark into a conversation?

3 Things

1. Ask interesting questions

2. Be engaged in their answer

3. Be ready to answer the question for yourself

Let me know how you keep a conversation going!
