Thoughts
My notes this week don’t really have a theme. There are a lot of random thoughts as I was fortunate enough to ‘take in’ a lot of unrelated content in this week. Enjoy this weeks “best of the best”. The “dream big” podcast with Bob Goff was pretty good not matter where you are in life. His upbeat spirit can inspire just about anyone.
Quick Notes that Resonated:
"Make Curiosity Your compass"
You can manage this moment because God is in the midst of the moment. Gone is ahead of you and is waiting to help pull you through the overwhelming moment.
If you want to lead a noteworthy life you need to take some notes (Bob Goff)
Jesus always made himself available... be available the way Jesus did
Always maintain access to your ideas
Express your faith like a softball.. big enough for everyone to catch and soft enough to not hurt anyone
losing faith, motivation, joy, trust etc.. is like losing your keys, think about where you were when you last had them
Effectiveness over Efficiency (Patrick Lencioni)
What are the things standing in the way of making your business better
Discomfort is where growth lies
15% of your week spend on working on something interesting (effective not efficient)
