Daily Deliberation: 29 November 2019
“I am way to busy to get to that today.” This is something we all say a lot. We can’t perceive taking 15 minutes from our crazy schedules for something else. However, if our car broke down on the way into work, we would find a way to get that towed and fixed. This process…

Why are the things that make us better so hard to do? Getting a gym routine in motion, changing our diet, stop chugging sodas, read more, etc. take major amounts of will power even though we know they are the right things to do. Making decisions as a leader often are very difficult too. Even…

When I saw this quote, I had a flashback to my childhood and heard my dad saying this to me. He didn’t use this direct quote, but he did teach me that if you are not going to put in the effort to do it the right way, don’t do it. Sometimes we get to…

I wonder how many of my “goals” became wishes. As a young Airman I had big goals that were changed as I grew due to reality and shifting priorities. I am ok with not accomplishing these; however, some died because I was lazy. To reach our goals, we need to find a way to hold…

We look at failure as such a negative thing. We are so afraid of its negative stigma, we never even try sometimes. Many suffer from a failure to launch because of this fear. Although, if we keep doing the same thing and failing at it over and over again, that makes us insane not a…

I wish I could say the same thing. Many times instead of slowing down to catch my breath, I allow myself to slide backwards. We don’t have to be perfect and can’t possible give it all everyday. When we hit our wall, slow down and focus only on one important thing…not ten. Catch your breath…

I wish more people followed this advice. How many times has someone promised you something and then couldn’t deliver? How many times do you see people offering advice of pushing an opinion who is not battle-proven? There is a reason I don’t offer medical advice; I am not versed in that world. What are your…

Daily Deliberation: 22 November 2019
So many people go to work and just go through the motions. Imagine what could be accomplished if everyone was fully engaged in the mission. One of the most important conversations we can have with our team is where we are heading and how each person fits into that picture.

Daily Deliberation: 21 November 2019
I always used to approach school as a checklist. Finish this history report and move on. Algebra II, Check. These were stepping stones on my path to freedom as a graduate. In many ways college was similar. It wasn’t until after I finished that I discovered a different view on education. Each time we learn…

Daily Deliberation: 20 November 2019
When we invest in others and are deliberate about the legacy we leave, we will live forever. We still talk about and idolize the legends of the past because of what they did. William Wallace who fought for freedom, our forefathers who risked it all to create our nation, and the list goes on. All…
