Make a Difference: Take the “Dis” Out of Your Courage and Appointments

You want to make a difference. I want to make a difference. Even if you don’t know what difference you want to make, you still want to make one.

I have yet to meet a person who wanted to grow up and influence no one, have no impact, and just get by until they die. Those are not the dreams in any child’s heart, nor are they the dreams in any adult’s heart of hearts.

But life happens. When things don’t go as planned, disappointment comes. Do you see that word? Dis–appointment. It removes us from our appointments. And dis-couragement is disappointment’s best friend, so they usually play together by stealing our appointments and removing our courage (dis-courage). They rob us of the courage to get back up and move forward into the things that might scare us. Dis-appoint. Dis-Courage. Two words powerful enough to take away the courage needed to keep walking in the appointments life has for us. If we let them.

Three letters. That’s all. Just three letters. “Dis.” Such a small force. What if we quit giving them power? What if we settle in our minds that three letters shouldn’t dictate our lives. What if we operate with COURAGE and APPOINTMENTS because we realize we have the power to remove the “dis”? It really is that simple. I didn’t say easy. I said simple.

Walt Disney. Lucille Ball. Michael Jordan. Thomas Edison. Abraham Lincoln. And more. They discounted the “dis”. Why not you?

Then gather your courage and go keep some appointments. You are worth it. And others need you.

The Greatest Battle: Your Purpose Vs. Your Fear {Part 1}

You cannot live your purpose and nurture your fears at the same time. Think of any good story. What makes it good? Conflict, right? There is a protagonist, who is often known as the hero, and an antagonist, the hero’s opponent or rival. Now think of your purpose as being the protagonist and fear being its rival. Both are powerful, but whichever you yield to will win. You cannot entertain them both.
