Pain Pain Go Away...

Discomfort - whether of my making or bestowed as a gift, comes offering a change to grow, to rise, to lift.  Wisdom reminds me that growing pains before it rewards. Ask one in it and they cry for sweet relief, Ask one past it and they'll tell you their belief. http://johnmaxwellteam.com/discomfort/  Mr Browning said it well... “I walked a mile with Pleasure;
        She chatted all the way;
        But left me none the wiser
        For all she had to say.
       
        I walked a mile with Sorrow;
        And ne’er a word said she;
        But, oh! The things I learned from her,
        When Sorrow walked with me.”

Time Management Is Not...

Time Management Is Not - I am unable to manage time, not a year or even one moment. Wisdom tells me that I cannot add even a moment to my time through worry. The real issue is Self-Management...I first decide what I will, what I desire and what I intend...then I manage the tools at hand - my focus, goals, priorities and activities - this results in a much better outcome. I notice that the clock has not stopped, slowed or stretched (as I had thought I wanted!) - instead, when I manage my focus, priorities and actions to match & support the decision I've made... I have filled the time with the right things and only then do I find that I have fulfilled the Goal.

CommonUnity

    CommonUnity...when we draw close to one another and we lift and encourage and sharpen one another we build CommonUnity - Community. Apart we can but less, Together we can so much more - result: we are better prepared to go  help others. Wisdom reminds us that a three-strand cord is not easily broken. Together, let us help each other help others. http://johnmaxwellteam.com/community-kw/
