Change always has risk, and it's never convenient.

It's also always going to seem foolish or nonsensical to someone else.

To know this, and still stand to make a difference are some of the main reasons we admire those who stand for change. It takes bravery, discipline, focus, and a willingness to stand despite ridicule and under intense scrutiny.

Be the change. Come what may. Stand for what you believe.

I'm reminded about the dangers of not having outside voices in your life. Voices that you've given the right to speak into your mindsets and beliefs. Voices that love you enough to challenge you to grow in how you process information and draw conclusions.

We can never form a holistic perspective with only our own thoughts.

It's crazy to think that I can cover my clothes with the highest quality-best smelling laundry detergent, add in the purest of waters from Lake Minnetonka, and put them in the highest quality washing machine and they'll STILL be dirty...

Without agitation that is...

From a simple load of laundry we learn that you can have all the best tools, be in the perfect environment; and still NOT get the job done. All because there's no agitation.

Agitation isn't negative. Agitation is movement. It's moves us out of wrong mindsets. It moves us out of lethargy. It moves us out of mediocrity into greatness.

I don't know whats agitating you today, but whatever it is; look through the eyes of understanding and figure out where it's trying to move you. Agitation can be one of your greatest treasures, if you learn to value it with a wise heart.

The longer I live the more I learn; as value goes up, so does cost.

As we've heard before, "greatness NEVER goes on discount."

Today's training continued to prove one thing to me, "there's ALWAYS room to grow."

You never know it all. You never reach a state of perfection. The only limitations on your potential are the ones you allow to be there.

Growth is not optional. You're either growing or you're dying.

Progress doesn't need to be monumental to make a difference. Some of the biggest victories of my life have come from the smallest disciplines.

You don't say a seed is defective and dig it up because you don't see fruit in a week. No, you're patient because you know that in order to get a consistent bloom, the roots have to grow in an unseen place until good fruit can be supported.

Be patient with yourself family. Small steps can take you great distances. Grow in the unseen places and when the season is right, you'll produce fruit that feeds generations.
