Live Beyond You
“What does it mean to “pour into” the lives of your team members? Our responsibility as “beyond you” leaders is not to teach everything, but to share what we do know with those around us and those coming along behind us.” – Andy Stanley
This 6-minute video has a meaningful leadership lesson. As my colleague Margie Craver said, “Just think if everyone thought about “Live beyond You,” everyone would reap greater success!”
And in comes a light
AND IN COMES A LIGHT
I met a chap in Brussels today
As if a friend from faraway
He claimed no part of a world of someday
Yet he stood toward the sun as if stealing a ray
We walked just a mile as the light turned to shade
And impressions of hope upon me he made
A pal, perchance from a land now unknown
Just a glimpse of his story was I briefly shown
What if there’s no evermore, a candle blown out
Or a street built on promise that only serves doubt
It may be our world is just here, all for show
That once finished, life’s over, with nowhere to go
Couldn’t help but imagine if maybe he’s right
That the sun is just now and the rest is all night
Then in came that rain, well it fell hard and fast
Like a wall that just crumbles, not meant to last
Returned to my path with a strange sense of wonder
Is this life a dream or some spell that I’m under?
The wet mirror reflected a blurred vision of truth
That lies and beguiles the folly of youth
Who knows if the end will break darkness with light
Still onward I’ll travel in hopes that it might
This fellow now friend, I hope he agrees
A future of sun shining down on the the trees
Finding Time
Your time – You deserve to have it!
Kevin Krause (a personal hero of mine) reminded me today about a post that he wrote years ago, which changed how I “do” life. Reposting in case it might change yours, too.
Go get this day!
From 2013 to 2014 – A Poem
Here’s a poem to help you ring in the new year:
From 2013 to 2014
We made it through twenty-thirteen, and oh what a year it has been.
We smashed record markets and shook faith in Target, and tried our best to go green. We had too much of Miley and Beck and O’Reilly, but thankfully Colbert between. Harlem shook proudly while K-Pop played loudly, and Lorde promised she’d be our queen. While Dennis took trips, Rubio took sips, and that Toronto guy seemed kind of mean.
Yes, 2013 was a sign of the times.
While we cried for Mandela, we saw some strange signs. Sharknados and selfies took much of our time, and Nelly crossed over a two-state line. We pinned no-bake pie pics and bathroom designs, and discovered local vineyards making must-try wines.
Who knows what the new year ’14 will bring? At least we can say there’ll be new techy things. Driverless cars will soon be the norm. It won’t be long now until they chase the storms. The drones may deliver our latest must-haves, and the hormones may finally be pulled from our calves. Whether cameras in our glasses or phones in our rings, to one dear thought I feverishly cling.
It’s a hope that only one source can bring…
That source is my Family, my Faith and my Friends. The one true connection that need never end.
Enjoy the fresh slate that 2014 brings, Everyone! Continue reading
