   How do you arrive at your decision? There are many types of decision making styles… which describes you? Do you laboriously consider each and every option and ramification? Do you, after asking a number of people, accept the ‘majority’ opinion? Perhaps you adopt the ‘fly by the seat of the pants’ approach Do you take […]

  While I say, often, that it’s all about you, it’s because it all starts with you. But if it only stays with you then you’re not doing anything with what you are and have (and have been given). Yes… it starts with you, and it is all about you… but it’s also – more!

  Have you ever just been in a ‘mood’. No identifying marks. You can’t say it’s just … or it’s only… (I intensely dislike the dismissive ‘just’ and ‘only’). Initially, you really can’t identify ‘mood’ – what it is, where it came from, why it’s here – it just is! I really, really hate those times. And

  depends, basically, on what you put in. The old ‘what you see is what you get’ can be applied to your ‘gettings’. What you do is of paramount importance. If you do nothing, do you still expect? Many people do. The do nothing but expect something is the ‘free ride’ mindset – but this doesn’t

  Belonging… a critical emotional, intellectual and ‘need to know’ concept – I suspect that’s why I write about it, in its many manifestations, as I do. Where you ‘belong’ identifies you as much to others as to yourself, but especially to ourselves. Do you know where you belong? Are you in your place of belonging?

  Do you ever look back? Not the nostalgia looking back and reminiscing… nor the ‘if I only knew’ looking back. The looking back, momentarily, to see where you were and the path you took to get where you are. Are you ever surprised? Most of us are but it isn’t always a negative surprise.

  I love light bulbs! They are the “Eurekas!” in life. The time when suddenly the pieces of the puzzle you’ve been working on suddenly fall into place and the picture emerges. Those are euphoric times! I grant you that this all sounds fatuous or worse, slightly tongue-in-cheek, but I’m quite serious – light bulbs are fantastic.

    As a verb, Webster defines steward as a person who: ” administers, guides, manages, oversees, supervises, tends,” etc. The obvious implication is that this person doesn’t actually own whatever is being tended but is trusted and empowered to manage. This thinking should also apply to our spiritual giftings. In fact, scripture tells us that our

  Do you ever get the feeling that you sometimes are in a battle with yourself? If so, you probably are. The simple way of looking at this seeming oxymoron-type phenomena is that your better self is battling your non better self. Is that possible? Of course and it rarely is comfortable. But looking at

  The third Law states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction (Newton). Using that as a guide, another way of applying that law is: there is always a cost in every decision you make. However,  many people don’t take the time to consider their cost – in the short term,
