Third Power Life

We have this delusion that spiritual growth, happiness, success, etc. is this beautiful and joyful path full of flowers and rainbows... And the truth is far less pleasant.  We have to dive into the depths of our souls and confront our own personal demons. Something most of us would rather not do..  so we go looking for the easy "tips and tricks" to try to get around it..  that does...

Last day of the "Vacation Series" There is nothing like coming home.  I love to travel, but there is no better feeling than coming home.. The same is true of our emotional and spiritual lives.  We need to find our "home" for all areas of life.. #home #emotionalhome #safety #thirdpowerlife

The key to success is doing things you need to do, even when you don’t want to do them, and when it is inconvenient..  #consistency #dontbreakthechain #keepingmyword #honor #thirdpowerlife

Day 4 of the vacation series, and I am sitting in a hotel with no power… Got me thinking about our own power levels… #power #emotionalenergy #thirdpowerlife

Day 3 of the vacation series…   We need to make sure we keep our inner child alive and well. When it comes to our goals, our Quest, and life in general, we need to take it seriously, but not TOO seriously… #innerchild #livelife #thirdpowerlife #beach #vacation

Never underestimate the power of a walk. It is good for the Body, Mind, and Soul. #takeawalk #rejuvinaiton #thirdpowerlife

In times of chaos and turmoil there is one lesson leaders need to know. Calm is Contagious #calm #leadership #thirdpowerlife

Having a very clear vision of the grand scheme of things is important, but can be overwhelming. We need to be clear what our huge goal is, but focused on just the next thing we need to do to achieve it. If we focus too much on the larger picture, we get overwhelmed and paralyzed.. Procrastination then sets in. #vision #procrastination #theonething #thirdpowerlife

Vacations, and down time in general is vitally important for our lives to be fulfilling and productive. As I am getting ready for my vacation, I want to share my thoughts with you. #vacation #downtime #thirdpowerlife

We often hear "Leaders are Readers" but rarely does anyone share exactly what they are reading and how they do it. So I am sharing what I am reading, and how I structure my day around it! #reading #leadersarereaders #thirdpowerlife #stoic #StartWithWhy #education #BrandonSanderson

Are people going to suffer?? Are people going to make the same mistakes I have made in my life?? NOT ON MY WATCH! #learnfrommymistakes #painfullessons #thirdpowerlife #wisdom

My friend Woodly Oralus posted this great quote on Facebook:  "Don’t get lost in the Blur, Stay Focused" When we get overwhelmed, it is easy to lose focus. How do we overcome that and stay focused? #focus #nodistractions #stayfocused #thirdpowerlife

Why do we not go after what we really want in life? What holds us back? What keeps us in our comfort zones? #limits #bribes #confortzone #thirdpowerlife #breakfree

vivere est militare - To Live is To Fight Is this the reality of life? Do I really agree with this mantra? Who are we fighting against? And to what end? What does it mean to be a Third Power Knight?

One of my favorite lines from Jim Rohn is "Service to many leads to greatness" Greatness can only come from service. But it has to be a way of being, not a tactic. When we come at service from the right way, that is how we change the world.

The piece of advice that I most often give to my children is: "when you find yourself in a hole, stop digging" I find that this piece of advice is one of the most sound pieces of common sense.  And yet one of the most overlooked and ignored piece of common sense that we have. Lets talk about that!

There are two kinds of people in the world. Those that look at people who have succeeded, and go, "Why them and not me?" And then the other kind of person looks at them and goes, "if they can do it, I can do it" And it really comes down to the infinite game versus the finite game.  So let's talk about that. #InfiniteGame #simonsinek #InfiniteMindset #ThirdPowerLife #opportunity

I love to garden. It is therapeutic for me, and feeds my family. Today I share some life lessons from the Garden. 1 - You reap what you sow, but not everything grows the same, so keep sowing:   Some plans go well, some do not. Keep trying, keep planting. 2 - Pull your weeds when they are small:   The longer you let problems or habits go on, the harder it is to fix them. 3 - Che...

We all know that having a to do list, having some type of time management tool is important for us to be productive and make sure that we're doing the things that we need to do. But do you know what's even more important than a to do list? A not-to-do list!

We did not get to choose our parents.   You can, however, choose your mentors. You have a full world of possibilities.   Don't let your local network limit you.   Find a mentor in books, and videos, and podcasts..

You must constantly ask yourself these questions from Jim Rohn:  Who am I around?  What are they doing to me?  What have they got me reading?  What have they got me saying?  Where do they have me going?  What do they have me thinking?  And most important, what do they have me becoming?  Then ask yourself the big question: Is that okay?

Life is often unfair.  It's true.  There are things that happen that are outside of our control that affect us, whether it's the economy, other people in our organization, accidents, what have you.  But who is ultimately responsible?  Listen in.

Gratitude is essential. We have so much to be thankful for. I wanted to share how I do a gratitude session in the hopes you will find it useful. The gratitude spiral based on the Life Balance Triad. Life Balance Triad: Self-Mastery  - Spiritual  - Mental  - Physical Interpersonal  - Family  - Friends  - Others Material Propserity  - Finances (Financial Education)...

I talk a lot about journaling and how I use my journal all the time, every day, every morning.  I wanted to share with you what method I use and talk a little bit about that.  Listen in Bullet Journal Method: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/0525533338

The difficulties we are facing seem daunting. Challenges always seem larger than life when we are close to them.  Step back.. Take a longer view. Look at what is happening from the perspective of distance and time. Take the Moon View…
