In today's Throwback Thursday Episode, we'll revisit one of my earliest episodes, and episode titled "Don't Judge Me!" None of us like the idea of being judged, because most of the time we are misjudged, however by following these 4 key principles we can learn to judge more like God does...with a little more mercy and a little less condemnation.

When it comes to parent time with children it seems we are always trying to find more time to do more...however new studies are beginning to show that it's not so much about the amount of time as it is about the quality of time spent with kids that makes the biggest difference...That when it comes to parenting, instead of more equaling more, in the right context, less can actually equal more!

We are often told don't settle as if settling is a bad thing? In the endless pursuit of more, ironically it's settling for what is enough that will lead us to get more out of life...But what is enough? Listen to this episode to help you figure that out for yourself!

Today, I want to help you consider the potential impact of the various environments we find ourselves in. Yes we can influence our environments, but our environments can also influence us. In many situations, all it takes is improving an environment to improve our lives!

It's becoming pretty clear that the only form of control left when it comes to evil and addictive influences in this world is that of self control.

The best mindset we can develop is one that moves us to compete every single day. This is the same mindset of Olympic athletes, who recognize that the Olympics aren't every four years...they are every day!

Today, is about trying to feel what others are feeling...to learn how to better practice empathy, to help others feel better. Not everything needs to be fixed, sometimes a person just needs to feel it, to heal it...and empathy allows you to feel it and heal it with them.

Nothing is more potentially damaging to us physically, mentally, emotionally or spiritually then experiencing a lack of vision. As one scripture reads..."Where there is no vision, the people perish." Listen today to learn how to best maintain and protect the vision you need to have to be successful both professionally and personally.

Of the all the qualities we can work on developing, the quality of resilience needs to be near the top of our list. With as hard as life can be, without resilience, we will struggle to get back up, to keep moving forward and to finish the fight. It's not about how many times you get knocked down, but about how many times you get back up that makes the difference in the end.
