Solve the Problem

 One of the best ways to flourish in your personal and business life is to be a Problem Solver.  Everyone wants someone on their team, in their company, or part of their organization who can solve problems. Many of us create problems or are defeated by problems. 

There is a better way.   A better word for problem is Challenge.  A challenge is something we need to accept, acknowledge, and meet.  Life can be a challenge but in a positive way.  The challenge of living a good life, of maximizing your potential, of contributing to make the world a better place. 

Any challenge that you're facing does not mean you have to meet it by yourself. You have resources that are available to overcome whatever you want to accomplish. There are experts in every facet of life and numerous people that have overcome the same thing that you are facing this very minute.  

If they can do it, so can you. And the best thing is most people are happy to help you on your journey.  The irrepressible Zig Ziglar said it best when he adopted the mission statement, that the best way to get what you want is to help others get what they want.  Zig always giving. 

Start with the easy things and build your problem solving ability.  Forget the excuses and limitations.  You'll be surprised what you can accomplish and achieve when you just open your mind and heart to the possibilities and how powerful and resourceful your really are. 

And remember with God all things are possible.

The Power of Love

Love Lost

Love these days seems harder and harder to find.  I just read a statistic that 25% of 40 year olds have never been married. Back in the early 80's it was 6%.  And 25% of 40 years olds never even tried marriage. Astounding!!! 

Remember, what you put into your body is just as important as what you put into your mind.  And of all the things you desire, having someone to share all your hopes and dreams is the most rewarding.  And despite all the hard work and sacrifice to have children and create a family,  having children will be the best thing you ever do in life. 

So when your feeding your body, go ahead and feed your mind and soul. 

 Here's a classic from St. Paul in a letter to the Corinthians -

 A Letter From Paul To The Corinthians (1 Corinthians 13)

If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

An Irish Blessing

 A beautiful Irish blessing -

 May the road rise up to meet you.

May the wind be always at your back.

May the sun shine warmly upon your face;

the rains fall softly upon your fields and until we meet again,

may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

 

With Love,

Coach K
