Stop. Start. Sustain.

Seeing You

Men are quitters... and I can see why.

The First Monday

You can learn a lot about a man's character when he's put in uncomfortable, challenging situations. I decided to begin helping as an assistant coach on my daughter Emma's 12u co-ed hockey team. What I didn't realize was how, through observation of these kids, I would be reminded of many lessons. What stood out this week, loud and clear, was the character of a man. Listen for more details.

This is a time of year for reflection, gratitude, and love. Stop for a moment and give thanks to the people who play a role in your life, who make an impact, a difference, and make you feel loved. I start with giving thanks to God for giving me the opportunity for another day on this side of heaven. Although this year as a whole and many of its months, weeks, and days have been hard, when I strip it all back, I am still very blessed, and I can't help but give thanks. 1 Thessalonians 5: 16 - 18 says, "Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus."

This past week has been a week of reflection, new experiences, and cycling in and out of the pit. This is what it's all about. Experiencing life every day. Being willing to do hard things, have difficult conversations, and be present in every situation so you can experience it to the fullest. I'm grateful... for everyone in my life that has and still does support me, love me, see me, except me, and trust me. Thank you.

People are so easily offended. Ego, pride, the desire to be right, and not being willing to face the truth are all root causes of being easily offended. For me too. But where's the gift? What can you learn and grow from? If you're willing to find it, you will find it. Sometimes it takes offending the head in order to expose what's in your heart.

Today I want to discuss something we all endure: storms in our lives. Some are stronger than others; some are short, and some are long. But how do you get through them? Grit in the eye of the storm is hard to find. I believe, in my life, my ability to endure, overcome challenges, and find the grit I need to make it through is not only a gift but a learning experience. I believe you need three things to overcome grit in the eye of the storm, and I share those with you in this episode.

One thing I have found in my life is, if I'm feeling angry, frustrated, stressed, overwhelmed, or sad, then I'm usually struggling to get to the root of the problem. You may have experienced something similar. Take health, for example. Many people come to me at OnAscent because they want to lose weight and feel better. Nothing wrong with that. But my question is, why? What's the REAL problem? I believe most people are afraid of getting to the real problem. Because, in most cases, it does two things: 1. It causes pain. 2. It turns the responsibility onto you, the individual. Today we are discussing getting down to the REAL problem, taking action to fix it, and the benefits of doing so.
