You Suck or You Fill

You Suck

…the air out of a room when you make it all about you.
…the life out of everyone around you when you make it all about you.
…the joy out of every endeavor when you make it all about you.
…the lightness out of every quest when you make it all about you.
…the potential out of every business when you make it all about you.

You fill
…every room,
…every person,
…every endeavor,
…every quest,
…every business with life, with energy, with potential,
When you make it all about them.

The challenge is to serve, solve and delight from a place of genuine personal interest without relying on the experience to complete you.

Hot Spot #4

This week’s hot spot: our pantry and refrigerator.
Yep, we’re going to clean out our pantries from expired spices and stale snacks, and reshelve them in a way that works for us. We’re also going to toss the science experiments from the fridge and clean out the grime.
...Come roll up your sleeves and clear the clutter from the different “hot spots” in your homes.   March 7th - April 8th.  For five weeks, we’ll work together and tackle different areas of our homes. Be encouraged and inspired, knowing that there are other families around the world rolling up their sleeves and working alongside you!

Men are anxious to improve their circumstances, but are unwilling to improve themselves; they therefore remain bound. - James Allen
