Surprise!
I’ve written a book!
“Uncommon Kingdom” is available on Amazon, NOW.
It’s a personal development guide focused on some of the characteristics I believe are important to living your best life and certainly an uncommon life. I’d live for you to read it and let me know what you think.

Uncommon Kingdom: Conquer and rule your best life one uncommon decision at a time

These opportunities usually come with some inconvenience or challenge that makes you want to "think it over", but if you delay the opportunity may be missed.

The price you pay to do good is small compared to the potential of the positive impact that may last a lifetime.

If you interact with people, you are a leader. People should be better because they interacted with you. We are blessed to have the opportunity to be positive influences in a negative world.

Pain has always been a stop sign for me. If it hurt, physically, mentally, or emotionally, I'd quit. With all my years, and too much experience, I'm learning that most pain is not a stop sign, but a yield sign.

I've learned to question my pain instead of immediately stopping.

I realize that I can avoid future pain by learning what caused this pain.

I can be grateful for the circumstances and the opportunities they bring.

I can grow spiritually if I'll ask for insight from the Holy Spirit.

I can develop resilience and endurance by embracing the pain and moving forward, even if each step wants me to stop.

This morning's workout and run were rough. I'm super sore from a brutal leg day on Friday plus 2 days of helping my son move Friday and Saturday.

I could have skipped today. No one would care.

I chose to do the work because I knew why I was in pain and that the pain was temporary. I, also, knew that by doing the work I would be better in the long run.

I hope this connects with some part of your life. The pain you are facing is temporary, and by moving forward you will be better.

Accept the challenges so that you can feel the exhilaration of victory. - George S. Patton

It is so easy to view challenges and difficulties through a negative lens. It seems that anything that is not easy, convenient, or fun is negative. The uncommon path is not easy, convenient, or always fun, but it is positive. It is through the challenges that resilience, confidence, and obedient faith are developed. Don't avoid challenges, create them, embrace them and grow through them.

Your mindset determines whether any moment is positive or negative. What you label it in your mind is what it is to you.

Change the label and you change the moment.

Every problem is an opportunity. Every challenge is a gift. Every conflict is a chance.

As they say, "The greater the effort, the greater the glory." Is there somewhere in your life that you need to increase the effort to get to the result you're looking for?

Consistency is a superpower available to everyone, but few apply it, there by forfeiting it's power.

Wherever you are, whatever you're doing, do it in a way that makes you better. That's the work. Do Work!
