Final Thoughts as I leave Europe...

This was such a blessed couple of weeks. After the final dinner tonight, How we serve people matters much more than we think. There is more to life than the thoughts that run through our head about how business is doing, and if it will continue next year like it did this year. Or even "what the economy" is going to do to us. I learned a lot about my heart for others this trip, areas I need to improve on, and areas I want to continue to be good at. I'm learning more & more that the people that retain us for our talents, or give us opportunities to do what we do best, are all around us. We just need to achieve excellence consistently, to not be so full of ourselves, all to often, unknowingly. The only way I've been able to do his is by seeking my God daily. There is so much growth for me to learn, achieve & explore. Yet its me who doesn't see those people who would seek us out, or I get in the way trying to reach my big hand into the cookie jar just for myself, instead of finding ways I can serve them instead. The latter however, being much more fulfilling.
I enjoy learning this and focusing on others, traveling in Europe the last few weeks during this workshop tour has taught me a lot, and I'm excited to implement my thoughts. I have a fresh perspective, I've had a chance to hear from a lot of people, but most importantly, getting time reading the Word. I am setting aside Dec 1st as a day totally devoted to getting alone, and putting aside the whole world, to stop, rest, pray and just read. To seek direction in my life so I do not waste my time, or anybody elses. I want to put my God and my wife 1st. I don't want to run down a path of glittery business, fame, or chase something someone else has just to end up at 80 with something that never really fulfilled me.
I know I've been given a gift, a gift that nobody else has, something just for me and its given to me so that I can bless others and serve them with it. I just need to un-distract and unplug myself from the barrage of information and thoughts that pass through my head every day. I love getting closer to freedom, as my friend DJ has inspired me with not judging my success on how busy I am. I apologize to those who I've may have been too busy to connect with.
I'm staying in my hometown for the entire month of December and not leaving. I want to live a life where I look back and it was not all lived for what I wanted at that moment. But for something greater. Thank you to all of those who made this trip a pleasure and more than I could have deserved. I had so much fun today! But I'm so excited for tomorrow. I hope you stay inspired, challenged and I encourage you to seek vision and direction. I love this quote:
“Without a vision, men perish.” Proverbs 29:1
How often do you stop, and seek vision. You were created for a purpose. Don't let another minute go by without knowing where your going, and why. Live life to the fullest.
Thank you everyone, I'm so thankful for everyone in the last few weeks. Be blessed. :)
