The Waypoint

You will never please everyone…..

You just won’t. People are hard to please.

For some reason though there is something in us that inherently makes us want to please everyone, want to be liked by everyone.

It will never happen though.

When was the last time you tended to your fields??

Oh, you're not a farmer? Well good thing because I meant the fields, the crops, of life. 

Everyday, we sow seeds that we will harvest at one point or another.

Some good, some bad. So, what kind of seeds are you sowing?

Where do you draw the line?

At what point do you decide to put your foot down and say enough is enough?

We all have our non-negotiables and our tolerances but over the last 10 to 15 years those have slowly been compromised.

If everyone else jumped off a bridge would you?

This is something I think every parent has said at one time or another when we were growing up.

Well, turns out they were right more than they probably know. 

We are called to stand out and be different. 

Are you front sight focused??

Being front sight focused is a saying used in the military. 

It means having an awareness of the goal, as well as an awareness of the present state, but an intense focus on the tasks needed to move forward from the now, into the future.

The zombies are already here…..

They live among us everyday, everywhere we go.

The only thing is they don’t look like how you think zombies would.

They look like everyday normal human beings but they are dead on the inside.

What has happened to men?

Men aren't even what they were 40 - 50 years ago.

Men as soon as they turned 18 were expected to be ready for war. Ready to protect. Ready to take care of a family.

Now, men are overweight, with zero drive, playing video games at 40.

Does life ever feel like you are just running through the gauntlet?

The answer is yes. Everyone has those seasons of life where it just feels like everything that can possibly go against you or make your life harder happens.

What if I told you that these seasons are actually really good for you?

Times are tough right now….

I think that is something we can all agree on. It seems like everywhere you look in our country it's just another dumpster fire.

Honestly, it's scary. There is so much uncertainty that it just paralyzes people in fear.
