Reflection
I share the opening quote from Emerson on EagleLaunch multiple times a year.
When we take a look at what Emerson considers our purpose(s) in life, living becomes a bit easier:
Functional = Able to be used for a practical purpose.
Honorable = Having and showing honesty and good moral character.
Compassionate = Feeling or showing concern for someone who is fighting a challenge.
How useful, honorable, and compassionate are you?
Asked differently, how well are you living?
The by-products of living well are joy, peace, and happiness.
How’s your joy, peace, and happiness?
John 16:33, “I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world, you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”
P.E.A.C.E.

AFFIRM YOUR P.E.A.C.E.
Purpose with a Plan – No matter how big or small, we all have a purpose. Your purpose lies at the intersection of your passions and your gifts. Find your PURPOSE and create a daily PLAN to help you fulfill it to the best of your ability.
Effort—Turning your dream/goal into reality requires a commitment to consistent and focused effort toward executing your plan. Nothing great in life happens without working hard.
Attitude—If you believe you will achieve your dream, your chances of achieving it increase exponentially. Remember that your attitude determines your altitude in all areas of your life.
Community – Nothing great in life happens by doing it alone. The chances of achieving your dream expand as your COMMUNITY of positive mentors and coaches expand. You become the average of the five people you spend the most time with–and yes, spending time with “people” through books and instructional videos factors into your “average.”
Energy – Living a purposeful life requires optimal mental, physical, and spiritual ENERGY. Commit daily to nurturing your mental, physical, and spiritual self to provide the energy needed to live your best life on purpose.
