Unless we are jumping off the ground, but even then, we are touching air.

We need to understand that we are always touching something…life is a contact sport.

It may not make a lot of difference when we touch a table or the ground, or touch a chair as we sit down, for these are inanimate objects and don’t really contain feelings.

But sometimes we touch peoples minds, while other times we may be touching their hearts. We can touch someones “situation” in a good way or not so good way – bringing them up or down.

So let’s all stay mindful of what or who we are touching, on a daily basis, for our touch may have an impact that can change another’s life.

Planning.

We all know how things go in our lives…it seems like we often don’t have enough time to fit things in, or do what we really want to do.

But when we set a goal or make a plan, our goals and plans usually work out and get handled.

That’s because we have declared where we want to go or what we want in our lives, and we then tend to focus toward what we have declared.

So if we need to go somewhere, get something done, have more fun, or just need a vacation, make it a goal or plan it out, and it will happen.

Some rough patches in our lives, and looking in our past we have seen some pretty big pot holes and detours we’ve had to take to get us to where we are now.

And since things in our past, were once in our future, we can only expect some more rough patches and detours to come.

Let’s just take them in stride and get over them or around them, like we have done before, and make our future even better than it is today.

Of what we create…or of ourselves, taking our attention off the “whole picture”.

My Grandmother used to cook the best meals I think I have ever eaten – ever.

Turkey with the best gravy…Pot roast…ham for Easter…you know, the old fashioned kind with the pork cracklings still on it.

But it never failed…about 5-10- minutes after we all sat down to eat…she remembered the biscuits…they were always burnt by then….and she would fret over burning them, when no one even really cared about them because everything else was so good!!

Is there anything that is taking your attention away from the whole picture that reminds you of this story??

What’s the Cause?

Most everybody that comes to me for coaching have been focused on the Challenge or Symptom and not the Solution or the Cure…that’s because they haven’t found the Cause.

Once we find the Cause, we can move forward to the Solution part and start to make a plan to handle the Challenge.

To ignore the Cause is like putting black tape over your car’s oil light that just went on.

So if we are having some Symptoms, just look for the Cause.
