Southerners have some great sayings. One of my favorites is to claim that your day is all catawampus. Who knows where this came from. It is not really a word, although nowadays you can probably find it in a dictionary. It basically means something is askew, or awry. I looked it up, many people believe […]

Perceived Value
Pondering important things today. Was considering this question. I really started to think through of all my physical things, what is the most precious? What is the most valuable to me? What do I add considerable value to? Of course we all go to the intangible things. My family, my faith, my relationships. However, that […]
What is Wisdom?
I think it is rather fun to ponder and reinvent what you really believe the definitions of words are. Take wisdom for example. I have had various definitions for this word growing up. At times it meant “something you hear from an old person.” Sometimes it meant how smart you were, or how good you […]
Seek Habit First
When looking to achieve something, a great success perhaps, then it is imperative that you first seek to establish the right habits before anything else. Too often we try to shoot for the objective, but find ourselves ill prepared. The path to achievement is the process of identifying the correct habits that you need to […]
Not the Event
You know the moment, the runner breaks the ribbon, the athlete standing on the podium, the owner selling the business for buckets of cash, the person setting up at the beach that no one can take their eyes off of. The event. That moment when success is noticed. Here is the interesting consideration, it is […]
Summer of Pre
Over 40 years ago, Steve Prefontaine ran (and won) his last race in front of a crowd on Oregon state’s Hayward field. He never lost a race there and he ran this 5000m in style, just like he always did. He did not do so well at the Olympics, he finished 4th in this same […]
What is the 365 Commitment?
Make Your List
Every morning make a list of tasks. Whatever comes to mind. You should consider adding names of people you can serve to your list. Own the day before it owns you.
Pray or Meditate
Ask for guidance on the list you made. Listen to that inner voice. Make revisions to your list. Commit to doing your best to get the list done today.
Prioritize
Assign a priority on each item of your list. Emphasize the most important things first. Use a numbering system if you like.
Set Goals and Act
Throughout the day set small goals to accomplish the list. Listen to inspiration as you may get promptings to do other things. You will find your efforts magnified.
Report
Each night before going to sleep, report back in prayer or meditation. Review what you accomplished. Ask important questions, make commitments to improve tomorrow.
Ready to Commit?
Whatever you want to accompish that is in harmony with the Will of God (or Nature) will come true if you commit to this for 365 days.
