In this is episode, Dr. Stephen V. tackles the challenging topic of Purpose. He defines what it means, its multi-dimensional nature, and purpose's inability to be restricted to a single role, geography, or even event. He then introduces us to the concept of purpose paranoia - the limiting irrational and persistent feeling that others with similar gifts and talents who are exercising them in ways we envision for our life are out to sabotage us or intrude upon the ambitions we have for ourselves. Dr. Stephen V. offers evidence that given the dynamics of purpose, there are multiple ways to see it flourish in our own life regardless of other people's paths, no matter how similar or different.

In this episode, Dr. Stephen V.  helps us remove the cognitive baggage associated with the idea of action in faith, especially as we start a new year.  Rather than adopting the obligation to make a New Year's resolution which is often a reflection of what others want for or from us, Dr. Stephen shows us that what we authentically and personally have faith for are invitations to move in faith with anticipation rather than anxiety –– one step at a time.

In this Tuesday's Take Dr. Stephen  V.  covers the loves affair we have with rushing and how our ability to do things under pressure should actually be the result of your steady endured commitment to consistent planning over time. When we make the decision to manage our lives from that perspective, and the need to rush becomes, unavoidable we can accelerate our actions and even skip the right steps safely with minimal harm to people who can be impacted by our actions.

In this episode, Dr. Stephen V. reminds us that even in our workplace, the power of simply being available to others when it counts the most to them pays huge dividends. Far more than our talent and our skill; far more valuable than our ability to get things done, and more impactful than our meeting those always approaching deadlines — as important as they all might be — is our humane gift of availability.

What rules do you live by?  The rules we live by have power and create the framework for the decisions we make, the roles we take, the work we do, as well as the people and spaces we impact, today, in the future, and long after we are gone.

In a reflection on the wisdom and counsel of Former Secretary of State, General Colin Powell who died and left this side of eternity on October 18, 2021, we learn that we have the ability to write the rules we allow to inform and lead how we do life.  Dr. Stephen V.  shares General Colin Powell's Thirteen Rules of Leadership as a resource and as a challenge to revisit, reconsider and even rewrite the rules that we live by.  We must be clear about the rules we use to govern our lives.  The decorated, soldier, diplomat, and statesmen General Powell was clear about his and as a result, the letter C  came to represent far more than his name or the C average he's admittedly acclaim reflected his high school and college years.

He discusses the difference between skill and capacity as well as how staying in your lane honors requires the willingness to give up investing your energies in building a kingdom/territory you were very meant to rule in the first place.
