Intentionality
Live simply so that others may simply live…. To inspire people to find their own adventure in life, something that will bring them joy while bringing others joy as well.
Living intentionally in the same direction over an extended period of time will have a greater impact on your children than anything you could possibly say.
“I just have a path of intentionality that sets up the odds in your favor. And again, you can’t control your son’s heart, but you can fight for it. And this is a plan to fight for your son’s future. And I believe that when we do that, we activate the heart of God’s divine favor comes through our way, the Holy Spirit, gets involved and we’re not on our own. And without it, I think you’re left to chance and you’re left to the world.”
You might not know what to do. You might say some things wrong, but do not bail. Don’t walk away, don’t ignore the issue… Don’t abdicate the responsibility of being a parent to the culture. You’re the parent. God put you in that role for a reason and you might not know the exact thing to say or do…. but got to be there. You got to be present.
“So if I’ve got an anger issue, but I’m not seeing it. Will I have enough humility so. Will I have enough strength, Jeff, to ask somebody, ‘Hey, will you help me see some things in my life?’ See it’s a person of strength who’s willing to admit I’ve got an anger problem or I’ve got a spending problem. People of weakness, will never admit they have an issue.”
“You pass on who you are more than what you know you want to be the whole, the most whole, healed, healthy in every sense of the word, man that you can pass on.”
The pain of our past has stolen our FREEDOM and we are looking through the little rearview mirror and over our shoulder at what should be behind us. The windshield of your life needs to be so much BIGGER than the rearview mirror… Experience the healing that your Heavenly Father wants for you.
“You know, Martin Luther King said rioting, rioting comes as the voice of the unheard. And, you know, if your kids are trying to share with you and you’re not listening, you’re too busy. They’re rioting.”
One thing I learned is you can’t just set the goal, like you got to reverse engineer it and figure out what are the daily habits that are going to get you to those goals. And that’s where the magic happens. That’s where the hard work habits. And that really is the key to going after those goals.
