Greatness

Being able to say...

“I was wrong” and mean it,

“I love you” frequently,

and “I’ll invest my life in you”

with a conviction that lasts a lifetime.

A simple post today… just the quote above that complements yesterday’s thoughts.

All the best to you and those you love this day and always,

Simple Thoughts On Being A Dad

While this post will not qualify as being the longest creation on the subject of being a dad, I believe it holds weight in the category of being important.

In actuality it came about as a result of my taking a look at a variety of the movies I was checking out from what I could call “the back office” of Simple Truths (yes, I am an affiliate in case you are wondering).  At any rate, I played the brief “movie” you will see below my quote, and it certainly grabbed my attention.  For me, it could be termed a “gripping” presentation.

So…

I decided to post it here.  The quote I created several years ago.  I believe it was around 2003 in fact.  Yes, I still feel the same. It is an incredible privilege and responsibility being a father as you can see from several of my other posts.  In fact, if you are in business of any sort and happen to be a dad, I would encourage you to click here to read my longer post on the subject of building your home while building your business.

If You Are A Dad, I Would Say… Definitely Watch This Movie!

“Bringing It Home” As They Say…

Reflecting on the brief presentation… powerful wouldn’t you say?  And with that in mind, we could ask or comment…

• How am I doing as a dad on the “time scale” of life with my family: should be, could be better or hardly ever?
• Realizing that I need to spend a great deal of time on other things, am making sure that I am sharing quality moments — moments where I am being careful to encourage, uplift, carefully listen, use what I would call “the ministry of touch,” and otherwise let the family know of my deep love and concern for them?

Questions For Excellence…

Our Active Listening Skills

Excellence For Business.

Excellence For Life.

If you have been following this brief series, you know that these questions came about following my read of Kendall Sylva’s excellent article on The Coaching Mindset. The six questions I wrote down and posed for myself to consider are located right where I can see them by my computer. I keep them there to use for motivation, inspiration and ongoing skill development. As I mentioned earlier, I feel these questions may help whether you are:

• A life coach.
• An attraction marketer.
• An educator.
• An mlm trainer of others.
• A blogger.
• Or an individual committed to personal growth for any number of reasons.

My Question For You Today…

“How Can I Practice Active Listening

And Being ‘In The Moment’ Today?”

• The variety of situations you could be practicing the art of listening well for the purpose of caring well in the process: over the phone, meeting someone in store, interacting with a server in a restaurant, while getting a haircut, a quick conversation with a student in a hallway, answering a simple question for someone in your downline, truly listening to someone else’s question on a webinar, or simply pausing enough to hear when in your mind the “pause” may not be really needed — much less something you are looking forward to at the moment. Point being: this “art” can be practiced repeatedly over time.
• And closely related to the examples given above, the whole idea of using the “short chunks of time” concept to actually design when you might take part in your own caring and self growth activity.
• And should you happen to come from a faith based background such as myself, I would suggest that you make prayer a part of this process. In fact, click here for an article on prayer that could be helpful to you in that regard.

Your Turn!

• Remember, as the creative one for your world, this is where could take the time and do a bit of brainstorming: even for three minutes. Seriously, just take three minutes and jot down several responses as to where, when and how you might be able to apply concepts in this post to your own world. Ready… go!
• If you would like additional ideas, try this: as you are going through the average day simply have the question posted above in the back of your mind and take in the variety of ways your active listening and being in the moment skills could be used: even without doing them at the moment. (And by the way, I have chapter in my book devoted to the gathering of ideas. Yes, that’s a hint, lol!)
• Should you be in some aspect of online business or business development, you may want to ask yourself how you could use these concepts to train others.

A Brief Quote To Consider

On Active Listening

Being present in heart

just enough to heart the ‘heart speak’

of those you are caring for at the moment.

Questions For Excellence…

Our Observing People Skills

Excellence For Business.

Excellence For Life.

Continuing this brief series, these were my observations from an excellent article on The Coaching Mindset by Kendall Silva. I have these posted directly by my computer to use for motivation, inspiration and ongoing skill development.

Once again, I feel these questions may help whether you are:

• A life coach.
• An attraction marketer.
• An educator.
• An mlm trainer of others.
• A blogger.
• Or an individual committed to personal growth for any number of reasons.

My Question For You Today…

“How Can I Increase My ‘Observe People’ Skills Today?”

Think about it:

• You could be going to the doctor’s office (as I will be in a few short hours) and during that time you could just simple say to yourself “I’m going take a few minutes ‘just to observe.’ I will be a learner.”
• What could you learn about people — in short “chunks” of time — that would increase your skills in the area of learning from, listening to, enjoying, or helping out people? As yesterday’s post was on taking advantage of the power of story, maybe the two could be combined in some way: i.e. not only listening to someone’s story that you prompted by also increasing in your “people observation skills” in the process.
• You could learn by segmenting. I used to share with the men in my class to do this: you create a “filter” for the day and watch people according to the filter you create. For instance, one example I gave them was: “Watch dads today in church. Just pay attention to what they do, don’t do, need to do, etc. Whatever: you create what you desire to focus on.”

Your Turn!

• Reflect on the examples I gave above… and expand on those thoughts. Take them into your world of parenting, network marketing, personal relationships, training, preaching, teaching… whatever. You are creative!
• In what you already know about people, suppose you were to create an article, post or a teaching session of some sort on “The Top Two Affirming Characteristics I’ve Seen In People”: what would you list? What might you write on? How could you inspire, encourage or be a positive influence in the world through what you have observed and what you would write?
• Could your observations be the beginning of a “how to” article, blog post, slide presentation or a short video?

A Brief Quote To Consider

On Learning From Others

We learn that we may become better people:

for it is in the art of becoming

that we contribute to our world,

ourselves, and all we seek to influence.

May we become all we can for the purpose of

helping others do the same.

What Does Relational Success Look Like?

(Characteristics Of A Growing Relationship)
© Lee Wise All rights reserved

Relational Success…

• Loving in the good times — and the not-so-good times.
• Learning how to “win as a team” instead of demanding to win as an individual.
• Learning to care and caring enough to listen.
• Seeking mutual growth, celebrating each other’s victories and assisting each other during the stress times of life.
• Being big enough to ask for forgiveness when you have wronged the other person and strong enough to grant forgiveness when you have been wronged.
• Overlooking the small things for the purpose of gaining the bigger things in a relationship. Striving to keep the “small things” just that: small.
• Giving enough space to the other person to allow for a strong sense of personal identity and self-worth while at the same time refusing to allow “space” to become a way of punishing someone when they fail to live up to my expectations.
• Being flexible as schedules and various seasons of the year fluctuate between “being normal” and “being totally out of control.”

Asking Questions/Gaining Insights

• What has caused our relationship to grow stronger in the ups and downs of life?  Ideas for keeping the momentum…
• Do we fight each other or *for* each other?  How are we doing?  We function best as a team when we…
• Am I caring — and caring enough to listen?
• Is mutual celebration a part of who we are as a couple?
• I certainly don’t use “personal distance” as a punishment, do I?
• Are we forgiving and experiencing true forgiveness?  If so, what insights have we gained?
• Is anything “too big” that is really too small to be an issue between us? What can (or should) be done about it?
• Would we give each other a high rating in the area of being sensitive to the shifting demands of the crazy lives we lead?
