What a profound statement…. Do we sometimes feel that we are too small to accomplish great things? On today’s echo President Dallin H. Oaks discusses The Small and Simple Things.
Many of you have watched the Documentary Finding Joe. I share the trailer today of a great documentary that teaches all of us to continue to find there own “Hero’s Journey”. There are so many gems in this film. Understanding our true potential and courageously embarking on it are scary and fearful. But….. as we begin to answer the call of our true potential we can serve the world so much better and the reward is….. Happiness to you and those you serve. If you haven’t had a chance to watch this film do so.
Another fun echo today with John Crist…. Take a look and have a laugh.
What did I say??? The guy who always talks about positive thinking??? Confused? Well take a look at the clip we have today. I want you to listen to Robin and DECIDE to do a few of the small things he suggests. I recommend getting up early and EXERCISING intensely. Get that BDNF going and repair that brain. Exercise will make a huge difference in your day when you start out with it. Take a listen….
Watch today’s clip and then…..Try something out today……. It won’t take long and it might be a bit uncomfortable for you. As you go about your day I want you to do something very simple…. I want you to be KIND…. Yes Kind. It will not take much of your time. It probably won’t cost you anything, but it will take your willingness to look around and find a need. You might be surprised at how many opportunities present themselves to you when you look for them.
We are all looking for a great “Hack”…. A way to Accelerate our lives. A way to make faster changes and enjoy the process. By starting the day with purpose and gratitude you will act with more focused purpose that day. When you find this works…….simply….repeat it each day.
You ever feel like your on a “Bad Team”? Maybe in your work, school, or maybe your spouse? On today’s echo Brian talks about true leadership and how that determines a good or bad team.
In our last +1, Navy SEALs Jocko Willink and Leif Babin told us that leadership is all about EXTREME Ownership. No excuses. No blaming. Ever.
They tell us that, ultimately, there are no bad teams per se, only bad leaders. To bring the point home, they tell us a story about guys in boats.
The Daily "ECHO"
The Daily Echo: Blessed and Happy are those who keep the Commandments of God. June 3, 2018
June 3, 2018
What a great story on today’s echo. Make sure and take time to watch this. Life is meant to be lived with joy. Sure we all have obstacles and ups and downs. But I believe we are meant to be happy. The detractors of happiness ALWAYS have a deceptive nature. What appears to be fun and exciting many times leave the person UN-Happy and wondering why this temporary satisfaction didn’t bring the happiness they sought. Just like today’s story. When we realize the “barriers” of life are there to protect us and make us happy. Take a look at today’s clip and pull out your binoculars to see the hidden dangers of life.
No matter who you are I am quite confident life today is a bit different than the life you grew up with. You remember when every night you gathered around the dinner table and “TALKED”. This is just one of the multiple areas our very family cultures have changed. Is it because of all the “noise” around us? The TV always on, everyone in a “zombie” stare at their cell phones? On today’s echo Chad talks about the importance of re-establishing our family cultures and celebrating them by living them. I believe as we do this we will find greater happiness and less contention in our families.
