How We Make A Difference

This is something that has been nagging at me for some time.  That's the reason why I started Leadership 3000.  I want to be a force for good in this world.  I want to impact people's lives in a positive way.  I want to do whatever I can to empower people to live their purpose.

Sometimes I look at my life, and what I did with my day, and I ask myself, " Did I do enough today?  Did I make a difference in some body's life?"  Too many days it seems like the best answer I can give is, "I don't know."

Too many days, it doesn't feel like I did anything to help anybody.  I want that to change.  I want to spend my days pouring into the lives of others.  That is why I offer services to help you get new information into your life, as well as coaching to help you get a fresh perspective on whatever you are struggling with.

I don't know what your struggles and battles are, but I would love to help you work through them.  I have faced a few in my life; many of which I faced alone.  Not because I didn't have anybody around me to help me, but because I was too ignorant and prideful to ask for help.  I didn't understand the power of having someone help me, who could see my situation from a different perspective.  Choosing to face life's struggles alone is a long, slow, painful journey.  I have learned that it's much better to use the wisdom and perspective of others to help me learn the lesson quicker, so that I can move from struggle-to-struggle quicker, which allows me to grow faster.

I don't know what you're battling right now, but I do know that you don't have to fight alone.

God bless

Read In 3's

Do you ever find yourself struggling to get through a book?  I occasionally run into this problem, but I have incorporated the idea of reading in 3's to combat this problem.

I find that if I categorize my reading, I can put together a strategy that keeps me interested in what I'm reading.  One category is life (faith, family, finance, fitness, freedom, friends, fun, and following).  Another category is the 'book of the month' from my LIFE subscription.  The third category is something specific that I need to work on ( people skills, success thinking, etc.).

As I rotate through the 8 f's, I pick three books for that specific subject, i.e. faith.  I do the same with the other two categories.  This way I can really focus on growing in an area, without trying to grow and excel at everything all at one time.  This keeps me from getting frustrated and distracted.  Three books seems to be the perfect amount of study for a subject at a time.  I've tried as many as five, but that gets to be too many books and too drawn out.  Three books, in three subjects really keeps the learning process moving.  I don't get bogged down in any area.

I think that's one of the problems with schooling, it's too much at a time.  Every day you get pounded with the same subjects over and over.  No wonder why the real lessons being taught in school have nothing to do with the subjects being taught.  Textbook teaching is probably the easiest way around actually teaching.  The children aren't really learning anything, as much as they are memorizing bullet points (which may or may not be true) to regurgitate on a test.  Textbook teaching does not teach a person how to think.  Textbooks are used to program what people think.  To learn more about the real motives of schooling, I would suggest that you read Dumbing Us Down by John Taylor Gatto.
