Jim Rohn: Wherever You Are, Be There

by Leave a Comment

Presence

I so needed Jim Rohn’s brief words today.

Lifestyle is learning to be wherever you are. It is developing a unique focus on the current moment, and drawing from it all of the substance and wealth of experience and emotions that it has to offer. Lifestyle is taking time to watch a sunset. Lifestyle is listening to silence. Lifestyle is capturing each moment so that it becomes a new part of what we are and of what we are in the process of becoming. Lifestyle is not something we do; it is something we experience. And until we learn to be there, we will never master the art of living well.

I’ve become so task-oriented that I often can’t get the next to do list item off my mind. So my phone is out. Or my laptop is open.

And I know better.

So, here’s to being wherever you are!

Mark Timm: You Can Have Everything In Life You Want…

Family

Mark Timm is CEO of Ziglar Family, and writes an incredibly challenging post based on one of Zig Ziglar’s most famous sayings,

You can have everything in life you want, if you’ll just help enough other people get what they want.

And then Mark makes application of this principle to the realm of family.

Husbands, if you will focus on what is best for your wife first, good things will happen for you. Wives, if you will do the same for your husband, good things will happen for you, too.

Parents, if you consider the strength of the family as more important than your own desires, and act accordingly, then look out – because your family will start to become a family that truly thrives.

It’s such a basic principle and yet, we so often fall back into our auto-pilot mode of trying to get everything we want for ourselves.

So, as Mark challenges us in his article, do something today to put your family first.

Greg Laurie: A Dad’s Role

by Leave a Comment

Dad

As Greg Laurie says in a recent post,

It was unheard of in first-century culture for a father to abandon his responsibilities in his home. Nowadays, it seems to be almost the norm. We are losing fathers at an unprecedented rate in our culture.

It’s true. We have an epidemic of passivity and absenteeism among fathers. It’s too easy to bail and to hard to take full responsibility and get in there and do the Dad thing with love and passion.

Greg offers this solution:

Instead of provoking them, we are to bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord. This could also be translated “to nourish and feed.”

And more help as well.
