Reflection
I was listening to the Learning Leader Show the other day (BTW, this is a great podcast if you are a leader who wants to grow)…anyway, the host of the show, Ryan Hawk, shared a quote by Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Antetokounmpo is a rising star in the National Basketball Association and recently helped his Milwaukee Bucks win the NBA title.
Giannis’ quote:
When you focus on the past, that’s your ego…When you focus on the future, that’s pride…When you focus on the moment, that’s humility.
Opening quote
So how does Giannis’ quote align with the opening quote?
Well, in my world, “the world according to Jay,” Nightingale places a keyword in his quote.
That word is worthy.
Worthy Goals
Personally, I believe worthy goals do not involve ego and pride.
They are not meant to raise our ego or our pride.
They are meant to make us better human beings.
To make a difference in God’s world.
Sometimes we need to crush our ego and pride and raise our humility to name and achieve worthy goals.
Mark 8:36, “For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?”

P.E.A.C.E.ful Living
Plan – A dream/goal remains a dream until it is put into writing. Putting your dream or goal in writing is the first step in creating a PLAN to achieve it. When you fail to plan, you plan to fail.
Effort – Turning your dream/goal into reality requires a commitment to putting forth consistent and focused EFFORT toward the execution of your plan. Nothing great in life happens without working hard.
Attitude – Your chances of achieving your dream are exponentially increased if you believe you will achieve it. Always remember that your ATTITUDE determines your altitude in 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 – Chasing and achieving your dream requires optimal levels of mental, physical, and spiritual ENERGY. Take care of yourself; no one else will.
