Do you remember the last time someone offended you? What did you do? How did you respond?
If you’re like most people your heart started to beat faster and your face started turning red. You began to get defensive and you quit listening all while growing angrier.
What’s one thing that you wish you could change about your life? What’s one thing that you wish wasn’t true about your life right now?
Some of you are thinking, “I can only pick one thing?” If you’re like me and had a magic wand you can think of a couple of things you would change.
Who do you know that acts entitled? I bet you can think of a few people…your teenagers, your adult children, your brother, your sister, your grandchildren, or maybe a few millennial employees you have.
Our list is pretty long on who suffers from entitlement. But there is one person who is always absent from our list. It’s the one person who suffers the most from entitlement and is completely blind to it…me and you.
What’s something that you are worried about? I know “worried” isn’t a responsible word to casually throw around if you’re a person of faith.
But the truth of the matter is that people worry, and they worry a lot.
Have you ever started something with great enthusiasm and then found it hard to continue?
You were motivated, inspired, and convinced your future would be different than your past.
Chances are if you’ve been in your career for any length of time you have acquired a set of skills. Those skills have made you pretty good at your job.
Every job requires a certain skill set (I know that sounds obvious but stay with me) and the more you master those skills the more you advance.
I’m sure you have heard the phrase, “When life gives you lemons make lemonade.”
The old saw encourages us to make the best of less-than-ideal situations. Even though some things aren’t what we expected, good can still come from the bitter.
Last week I was told my grandfather had 12-36 hours left and that I needed to get there as soon as I could to say goodbye.
The drive from New York to West Virginia takes right at 12 hours so I left wondering if I had enough time.
Have you ever wondered how some companies can stay in business when they treat customers so poorly?
It’s becoming more common place and every time I experience it I’m shocked.
Why is it so hard for you to take a day off? I really want you to come up with your best reason.
The reason that would prove God’s idea of taking a vacation every week (a Sabbath) is completely impossible. Got it? Okay hold on to it.
