• Ladder: Idea #550

    Do you ever feel like you’ve maxed out on your personal growth? Maybe this is a reflection from ‘the law of the ladder. It says that character growth determines the height of personal growth. Ladders help you go higher than you can on your own. Character is the ladder of your life. When you have good character and are better on the inside, it will be evident in your actions.’ (J.Maxwell) Oops! Maybe we need to set aside some time to examine ourselves, our character, and what we’re doing to work on that part of our life. I know for myself it’s not fun to focus on this, as I tend to discover weaknesses that I would rather not see – but do join me in making the effort to do what it takes to grow.

  • Communication: Idea #549

    We hear a lot about “good communication” and how important this is. So then, what actually IS good communication? First we need to remember that ‘Communication is about what is received, not what is intended. If there is a gap between what you are saying and what they are hearing, you have to find a new way to say it.’ (J.Clear) Too many times we think just because we’ve repeated instructions two or three times, people must understand. But no! We need to hear back from them what they believe you said, and then we can determine whether our communications were effective.

  • Pain: Idea #548

    If there’s one law I wish I could avoid, it’s ‘the law of pain. It says that good management of bad experiences leads to great growth. In growth, there is a lot of struggle. We all experience challenges and adversity, but our pain can allow us to grow. We learn to adjust and ask for help in the uphill journey. Your mindset is a choice. Make the decision to learn from your pain, and allow it to make you a better person.’ (J.Maxwell) I guess I’ve been around long enough to know there’s no way to avoid pain and struggle, so I might as well keep learning from it, and grow to be a better person. What about you?
