Create Your Future Self Now
In “Gradually Then Suddenly,” Mark Batterson shares of Richard Halverson, former U.S. Senate Chaplain, telling the story called “The Old Man.” This got me thinking deeply because I recently read “Be Your Future Self Now” by Dr. Benjamin Hardy, which is a phenomenal book. In it, Hardy encourages readers to envision their future, then begin […]
New Results Require New Thinking
We’ve all heard the saying, “What got you here won’t get you there.” But too often, leaders try to chase new goals with old ways of thinking. The truth is simple: if your current mindset and habits could achieve that next-level vision, you’d already be living it. Whether you’re seeking personal transformation, professional growth, or […]

Unfortunately, we grow out of this childlike wonder as we […]

When You’re Struggling, Try a New Approach
It’s commonly said that the definition of “insanity” is doing the same thing repeatedly while expecting different results. If you’re like me, by this definition you’ve been insane quite a few times in life! It’s easy to feel stuck and frustrated when you’re trying to achieve new goals and dreams. The plans we thought would […]
