SAY GOODBYE TO THE OLD ME

SAY GOODBYE TO THE OLD ME

The recent loss of a friend has caused me to me far more introspective regarding how I spend my time as a person.  Am I a good person?  Do I do enough to help others?  The lovely lady, Kim that I spoke of yesterday helped a great many people-her impact was expansive.  The examination of all the folks that I know who were touched by her life’s work was revealing…I want to be a better person.

Have you ever felt this way about anything? Do you have any things in your life that make you want to be a better person?

•  Does the special person in your life make you want to be a better partner? 
• Does your job make you want to be a better employee or your company make you want to be a better entrepreneur or philanthropist?
• What about your car? Does it make you want to be a better driver?
• Does your church make you want to go out and disciple to others?

Is there anything in your life that would make you say:  "I owe this the very best that I have to offer!"

As a Christian, friend, and coworker, I frequently meet people who think they are “stuck”.  Often, the truth of the matter isn’t that they’re stuck, it’s that they just haven’t found something that demands the very best they have to offer – something that makes them want to be a better person.

Well, what if the answer isn’t something outside of yourself?  What if it’s not a person or a thing?  What about your life itself?

Just for fun – imagine that you woke up tomorrow with the feeling that you owe yourself the very best you have to offer!

What would that day look like to you?

Imagine living like that for just one day! How would that feel?

How To Be A Better Person – An Experiment

I would like to suggest something.  I would like to suggest that you make up your mind, right now, to do this as an experiment.  You don’t have to tell anyone what you’re up to, you don’t have to recruit others to do it with you and you don’t need to make a big deal out of it.  Just wake up with the attitude that no matter what happens throughout the day, you are going to give your life the very best you have to offer!  You are going to live your life in a way that makes you want to be a better person.  Be warned, this new approach could change everything!
