Everyone Brings Something to the Table
Leverage The Differences = Every human being we interact with, at work or at home, brings a different perspective to the table. Today, there are 5 different generations working together in the workplace. They all bring different preferences, expectations, and perspectives to the team. This can be good or bad depending on how you respond. When approaching people with different perspectives it is important to remember these steps using this acronym ... 

A LEG to stand on:
Ask questions
Listen well
Empathize
Guide

Different perspectives are a given … Are you leveraging them to the advantage of the organization?




What You See, Is What You Get = People all have a good side and a bad side—a side with ideals and dreams, and a human side. When you look at people, what you look for is what you'll see, and what you see is how you'll treat people. If you see the best in others, you'll bring out the best in others, and you'll receive the best from others. 









One day, a financially comfortable father decided to take his son to the country, with the purpose of showing him how poor people live, and that the son could understand the value of things, and realize how fortunate they were.
They stayed overnight at a very humble family's farm for 1 day and 1 night. As the trip ended, and during their return home, the father asks his son:
So what did you think of the trip?
It was great, dad!
Did you see how poor and needy some people have to live?
Yes!
And what did you learn?
I saw that we have one dog in the house, but they have four. We have a huge swimming pool, but they have a river that never ever ends.  We have imported lamps in the patio, they have the stars.  Our backyard ends at the fence, but theirs goes on and on into the horizon. Especially though, dad, I saw that they have time to talk to each other and live as a family. You and Mom have to work all day, and I hardly see you both!
As the conversation ended, the father remained silent, and his son added:  Thanks Dad, for showing me how rich we could be!!

Anxiety Is Destructive = Anxiety encompasses the things in your life that cause worry and stress. It has nothing positive to offer and does not lead to personal growth or improvement. We should all make an effort to cast all our cares on God.

Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. ...

Security and Assurance

 "Your heavenly Father already knows perfectly well what you need and he will give it to you if you give him first place in your life and live as he wants you to."  Matthew 6:33 (LB)

 "Your security is not in your bank account; your security is in the Lord. If God turns off one faucet, he can turn on another."

 Many of us act like spiritual orphans. We forget that we have a heavenly Father who already knows what we need.  He's just waiting for us to ask.  He will provide.  Does God take care of little birds?  They don't worry. Human beings are the only things in all creation that worry. Everything else trusts the heavenly Father and creator to care for their needs.

 "He gives food to those who trust Him.  He never forgets His promises." (Psalm 111:5 LB) 

 How much do you trust God?  Worry is really just a form of atheism.  Every time you worry, you're saying, "It all depends on me." That's just not in the Bible.

 You must trust God with your life.  Today's verse says, "If you give him first place."  Why?  Because as long as you love anything more than God that thing or person or item will become a source of anxiety. 

 "Don't put your hope in wealth which is so uncertain. But put your hope in God who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment." (1 Timothy 6:17) You must always remember -- your security is not in your bank account; your security is in the Lord. If God turns off one faucet, he can turn on another.  If he turns off one job, he can turn on another.  You must seek the Lord. 

 The book of Romans says God sent his son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross for you to pay for your salvation.  If God loves you enough to send His own son to die for you, don't you think He loves you enough to take care of your bills?  Don't you realize that any other problem is minor by comparison? He solved your biggest problem when he saved you. The bottom line is this:  Are you going to believe God to do what He says He will do?  And are you going to believe him enough to do what he tells you to do?

Burnout Quotes

Quotes About Burnout



  • When you have exhausted all possibilities, remember this: you haven't. --THOMAS EDISON
  • Burnout is what happens when you try to avoid being human for too long. --Michael Gungor
  • Burnout is nature's way of telling you, you've been going through the motions your soul has departed; you're a zombie, a member of the walking dead, a sleepwalker. False optimism is like administrating stimulants to an exhausted nervous system. --Sam Keen
  • I have a theory that burnout is about resentment. And you beat it by knowing what it is you're giving up that makes you resentful. --Marissa Mayer
  • Time spent in nature is the most cost-effective and powerful way to counteract the burnout and sort of depression that we feel when we sit in front of a computer all day. --Richard Louv







What Burnout Looks Like | MWM
What Burnout Looks Like = Close your energy gap. When you hit that burnout wall, it shows up not only in you, but in your team as well. Protect your energy. Set boundaries. Encourage rest. And then when your energy returns, you will see performance return as well. Your energy fuels the culture and the team that you lead.




Staying Mission-Minded Keeps You Motivated
https://youtu.be/mIHLtxHWaf8
Your Mission Impacts Others = Mission should be the driver of our everyday pursuit of excellence. It is the opportunity we have to reach out and serve others. Connecting to your mission is also a powerful way to overcome burnout. You are in the service of others and in that service you matter.



Protect Your Margin and It Will Protect You | MWM
Protect Your Margin and It Will Protect You = Burnout doesn't begin with exhaustion, it begins with lack of boundaries. If you don't have margin, then you can't coach, support, or lead your team effectively. Margin is not a weakness, it fuels your strength! Protect your margin, it's where great leadership breathes.

John Steinbeck was born in Salinas, California, where he spent the summers of his youth working on nearby ranches — the setting for much of his literary work, including "Of Mice and Men" and "East of Eden." His experiences gave him insights into the lives of the downtrodden, who often served as the protagonists in his novels. These struggles, not to mention living through the Great Depression, gave Steinbeck a greater appreciation for the good times he enjoyed. Steinbeck followed up the quote above with, "You only truly, deeply appreciate and are grateful for something when you compare and contrast it to something worse."




Would You Rather Win or Be Kind? | MWM
Would You Rather Win Or Be Kind? = If you have the choice to be right—to win—or be kind, always choose to be kind. You don't always have to be right, you don't have to win everything, instead we can be kind and ask others their opinions in order to connect.


What it Really Means to be Kind | MWM
https://youtu.be/cYG-Dbkw-M4
Look For A Need = Take advantage of today to be kind. Kindness embodies being good, while also taking useful action. It is being nice and helpful, gentle and useful, compassionate and generous, being positive and doing good. Kindness doesn’t only mean being nice, it means a willingness to act. Look for a need and meet it if you can. Who can you be kind to today?





What Kindness is and is Not
https://youtu.be/cCJjaOQSX-o
Encourage Others! = One of the 7 words of love from Joel Manby’s book, Love Works, is Kind—an extremely important leadership principle. As leaders, we must have tough conversations with people and hold them accountable, but we can still lead with kindness. We do this by making someone’s day better. Every time you come into contact with someone, you can make their day better or make their day worse. Every day, try to provide encouragement in each of your interactions, be positive, and improve the day. (You can learn more about the 7 timeless principles for effective leaders in Love Works)

Empowerment and Accountability Go Hand-in-Hand | MWM
Freedom Requires Accountability = We all like to be empowered, free to express ourselves, call the shots, and build something with our own giftedness. If you want the freedom of empowerment you have to be accountable. Accountability with empowerment allows us to reach our potential.





Only Secure Leaders Give Power to Others | MWM
Empowering Others Leads To Greatness = In his book, The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership, John Maxwell discusses the Law of Empowerment, which says that only secure leaders give power to others. Insecure leaders keep the power for themselves. The only way to compound your influence, power, or money, is to equip and empower others to do what you can do. Secure leaders are comfortable handing the baton, empowering others and giving them credit. One is too small a number to achieve greatness.




Empowerment and Accountability Go Hand-in-Hand
Freedom Requires Accountability = We all like to be empowered—free to express ourselves, call the shots, and build something with our own giftedness. If you want the freedom of empowerment, you have to be accountable. Accountability with empowerment allows us to reach our potential.


With Great Empowerment Comes Great Responsibility
We Are Accountable = We all want others to empower us. We desire the freedom to make decisions on our own … To spread our wings and discover what we can do … But there is accountability with empowerment. Remember, we are responsible for the actions we are empowered to take.


I know what I need to do, but I don't know how to do it?
Do you ever feel like, I know what I need to do, but I don't know how to do it?
John Maxwell felt the same way until he invested in his Growth Plan.
