Clarity is Playing at a Theatre Near You
Clarity is Playing at a Theatre Near You
Have you noticed we live in an age when what you hear and see is not necessarily what is happening?
It seems our shorter attention spans and social media have elevated attention-grabbing to the point where it overtakes clarity of message.
One of my mentors is Donald Miller, the creator of Storybrand. He says, “if you make somebody burn too many calories to understand you, they will never understand you. They’ll move on to an easier choice.”
Another one of my mentors is my son, Austin. He’s a smart young man these days, but I remember when he was five years old and taught me a lesson about clarity - when Disney released a new movie.
Like most kids, Austin was excited and wouldn’t stop talking about it. One day I asked, in a very adult way, “Okay, where are we going to see this movie?” He answered, “At a theatre near you!”
Yes. His answer was correct for a five-year-old who didn’t need to worry about which theatre had the film. After all, that’s Dad’s job.
When your answer to questions creates more questions, everything takes longer to complete.

The Journey In Between
The Journey In Between
Have you ever noticed that the most dramatic life changes happen when you are in between life events?
In between jobs?
In between relationships?
In between anything?
Sometimes in between is voluntary, like a vacation. Other times it is forced upon you like a job loss. In between presents an opportunity to change how you do things. Modify your daily experience. Even change your life direction.
Being in between is almost always a pre-curser to change. That can be scary and exciting at the same time.
If you think about your life, in between is where your most important decisions have taken place.
There’s no need to fear change. That’s where the fun stuff begins - eventually.

Daily Rules For a Happier You
Daily Rules For a Happier You
Every day we all jump into the craziness of life without much thought to the basic rules we use to run our day. Here are a few of mine. You can borrow then if you would like:
1) Do what makes your heart sing. You'll always feel better when you are dancing down your path.
2) Believe anything is possible. As soon as you believe - everything IS possible.
3) Be nice to others. Expect them to do the same. No further explanation is required.
4) Believe in people and encourage their dreams. When you do, they'll return the favor.
5) Do the right thing. If you mess up, say you're sorry, try again.
6) Meet people where they are in their life and walk with them to where you both want to go.
7) Do what you say you will do. It's always better to under-promise and over-deliver.
8) Make lemonade out of lemons. Everything is fixable if you have the right mindset.
9) Keep things simple. Yup.
10) Relax. Life is short. Double yup.
When you focus on life's big picture, it's easier to enjoy your daily experiences.

Year of Second Chances
Year of Second Chances
As we get closer to the end of 2020, I’m noticing there are two very different kinds of people in my life:
1) People who are waiting to see what is going to happen next. While they are living in everyday life, they are paused.
2) People who have decided that life is too short to wait for things to happen. They’re starting businesses, buying homes, traveling, and more.
Have you taken advantage of the opportunity to reevaluate your path and live your passion in 2020?
Are you willing to explore the possibilities of a new direction? While reserving the right to do nothing at all?
Do you have desire or fear for things not in your life or anticipated for the future?
Are things presently in your life causing you pleasure or distress?
That should get the juices flowing.
The reset has only begun. If you even want to reinvent yourself, this is the year to make it happen.

No More Stress By Replacing Your To-Do List
Everybody has a lot to do. If you use a To-Do list to keep up - and it's stressing you - it may be time to replace it with a "Did I Do It List."
To-Do Lists transform you into an expert at chasing checkmarks. Chasing anything is stressful - and there is a better way:
1) Never commit to more than you can get done in one day. That takes awareness and honesty.
2) Once you know what you need to get done, add it to your "Did I Do It List" and use it for reference throughout your day.
3) Always double-check that you are accomplishing tasks you determined as vital before taking on additional items.
A focused path produces fewer random tasks. Using a "Did I Do It List" will focus you on your goals and create quick results.

Transitional Relationships
Transitional Relationships
Socrates had it right when it comes to friendship -
“Be slow to fall into friendship, but when thou art in, continue firm and constant.”
Having great friends and healthy relationships is an asset. They give you more energy and make life more enjoyable. But not all relations can or should last forever.
Transitional relationships come into your life for a reason and a season.
They could be a transactional relationship with a Realtor helping you sell your home. A mentor who steps into your life - even be a new romantic relationship after a breakup.
Transitional relationships enter your life to help you go from where you are to where you want to go. Once you’re there, they are no longer needed.

Controlling Communication and Staying Focused
Controlling Communication and Staying Focused
We live in a world where an open communication line is a significant factor in moving forward. But how do you keep things flowing and stay focused on what is important to you?
There is a method used by improvisational actors to keep the conversation flowing. It involves agreement and modifiers such as "Yes" and "And."
Answering "Yes" removes any block and keeps the flow going. But since you want to control your focus, adding ”If” and “And" allows you to redirect for your benefit.
Here's an example.
Them: "Hey? Do you think you can help me with a project?"
You: "Yes, I would love to help. IF it's okay, I need to finish what I'm doing, AND I can call you later."
All it takes is three words for you to stay focused on the track to your goals.

Creating More Time For Yourself
Creating More Time For Yourself
We all have lots to do every day. Wouldn’t it be great if you could manufacture more time?
The trick is how you prioritize tasks and projects already on your plate - and updating how you think:
1) If a task requires thinking, multitasking is a myth. You are switching your focus. That’s time-wasting and tiring.
2) Working on multiple projects that require your brain delays the outcome from every project on your list.
3) When you focus on completing a single project, you begin to get the benefits it produces far earlier - and longer. You will also find more time available for your next project.
The next time you need more time to get things done, ask yourself -
“What project or task can I complete that will begin producing results the fastest?”
Get excited. You are about to build massive momentum!
