    Is The Glass Half Full Or Half Empty? #13

    There has been a long-standing question: “Is the glass half full or half empty?”I think the question is flawed. All we actually know is that the glass has half.If we base our plans on what we really know and stop wasting time debating our perception of it, we can start creating the future on a foundation of reality rather than human perception.This perspective is about utility, not entertainment.If you love to debate, then the question remains. Is the glass half full or half empty? But if you want to build something, start with what you know. The glass has half.

    Why I Struggle With "Shoulds" #12

    2 Main Thoughts: 1. I am switching from presentation to documentation because I like it better. I may do presentation in the future but it will be the minority. 2. I struggle to see why I "should" do things that are not backed by logic or Biblical truth. If it is your preference, then it is not a "should" but instead a "wish".

    The Thing You Avoid Owns You #7

    That thing that you are avoiding is not going away. In fact, it is only getting bigger. Here is the hard truth: Whatever you do not own ends up owning you. This is how one ends up like the horse with a bit in its mouth rather than the rider controlling the direction. If you want to be in control of your own life, you must learn to take ownership of the responsibility set before you. The main point of this video: "Be The Leader, Not The Follower" Leaders make decisions - followers avoid decisions. Be the leader and decide to take ownership over your life. Supporting Verses: James 3:3-5 (NIV) When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. Proverbs 12:24 (NIV) “Diligent hands will rule, but laziness ends in forced labor.” Proverbs 26:3 (NIV) “A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the backs of fools!

    Why You Never Get What You Want #6

    Why do so many of our goals, desires, and plans never seem to come together? James 3:3-5 reveals something most people overlook: the tongue is directional. Just as a bit steers a horse and a rudder steers a ship, our words are constantly aiming somewhere. The main idea of this podcast: "All Speech Has An Aim" Everything you say has a direction. The question is: what is the point of what you are saying? That is where your speech is pointing. If you talk about many dreams, you will end up nowhere because you will try to walk every path and never finish any of them. However, if you speak of one dream, not only will you arrive at your destination, but you will also attract others to join you on the journey.Such is the power of controlling your tongue. Supporting Verses: ‭‭Mark‬ ‭3‬:‭24‬-‭25‬ ‭NIV‬‬ “If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.” ‭‭James‬ ‭3‬:‭2‬ ‭NIV‬‬ “We all stumble in many ways. Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect, able to keep their whole body in check.”
