The Liars

 

The Liars

Great new song out by the Red Clay Strays, “Demons in Your Choir”.  Check it out. One of my favorite lines is . . .

“You know the devil keeps us company with all his bright and shiny things.”

Think about it. How true is that. But there is a higher meaning to the song as well. It is about the liars we all have in our lives. As the song title suggests, there are demons in places we don’t expect. Maybe the bigger point is that people and places are not always what they say they are!

Think about it and give a listen to “Demons in Your Choir”.

Be blessed.

Impact

 

Impact

Do you think about the impact you have on those around you? Do you seek ways to positively impact others? Are people whose lives cross paths with you better off for having met you? Challenging questions, no doubt.

What does impact really mean? What does it look like? How do you know if you have made an impact? There are lots of ways to serve and volunteer our time and talents. Great causes benefit from that. But we should want to make sure we are making an impact.

Not long ago, I heard a great statement about the concept of service and impact. I was at the graduation ceremony for Leadership Montgomery County, and a graduate included a very wise comment in her talk.  

           Service makes someone’s day better

           Impact makes someone’s life better

Go make an impact!

Character

 

Character

Our world is quick to praise people and accomplishments. Athletes are praised. Accomplished executives are praised. Leaders are praised. We praise talent, and there is nothing wrong with that. But what about character? Is it overlooked? Does it receive the same amount of attention and praise? I suggest not. Consider…

In a world quick to praise talent, don’t forget to honor character.

What are you telling yourself?

 

What are you telling yourself?

 

-       Your inner monologue determines your outer actions.

 

-       The most powerful story in the world is the one you tell yourself.
