STAND today…

This past blog must have struck a nerve. I’ve received a number of emails from clients seeking clarity. Seems people want to know how to win the BIG battles that they’re sure will come. They want to have confidence that when the heat comes they won’t melt. They want to know they’ll be able to STAND alone. They want to have clarity. CLARITY is a good thing…

Here’s the BUILT TO LEAD recipe for standing alone. I hope this brings some additional clarity.

Do NOT miss this. This is HUGE. Here it is…start today to build CORE strength. Write your CORE beliefs, purposes, and principles. Share what you’ve written with your builders. Try to live them each day. Develop the habit of evaluating YOUR performance every week.

Where are you kidding yourself?

Where are you integrity gaps?

Look in the mirror and see your blemishes. Stop covering them with the latest form of “makeup” and instead, choose to expose them to the light and to address them.

Choose to ACT.

Pick one area to work on. Maybe you have an integrity gap around what you look at, what you eat, what you say, what you laugh at, and countless other “small” things. Pick one. Shine the light. Try to address and change IT.

Pray about it. Tell your truth tellers. Tell your builders. Tell your bride. Tell your team. Tell me. Tell God. Come clean. You’ll begin to see it. You’ll begin to pick up CORE strength…slowly you’ll feel better.

The battles are won slowly, daily. The BIG tests will come. They are won by those that have been fighting all along.

STAND a “little more” in the “little battles” today.

This works. Standing in the “little things” builds habits of the heart.

Do you know what you STAND for?

If not, in the words of John Mellencamp, “you’re gonna fall for anything.”

STAND today…
