Daily Deliberation: 18 October 2019
I once hired a plumber to fix something I didn’t have the courage to tackle. I watched videos on YouTube and phoned a friend or two. All talked about how the job was not easy and was best to hire a pro. I did. I watched him come into my house and replace the valve…

Daily Deliberation: 16 October 2019
This is an interesting statement. Our first instinct is to shy away from something that is different from the norm. We even criticize those who have the courage to try, but then we see them start to experience some success and want to emulate them. Be willing to look at what others are trying to…

We have nicknamed ourselves a one-mistake Air Force. However, we all know many people who have made serious mistakes and are still chugging along.

Daily Deliberation: 10 October 2019
In our society, we care more about the latest “thing” than we do about making the world around us better. What if our focus was on serving others with our resources: money, time or wisdom? Instead of looking for more things to fill our treasure chest, look to see how we can grow those around…

Daily Deliberation: 8 October 2019
This notion has driven me most of my life. There are things that I am ok being spectator to, but for most things, I want to be a part of them. Being a leader is more than delegation, it is perspiration. Get involved in what your team is doing.
