Learnt a couple of things from John C Maxwell in the meeting on saturday morning.
He was giving tips on Travelling thru this life that we live.

1. Travel Light- Priorities
Lets not collect too many things and carry emotional baggage. Etc, digging up the past. Use Everyday to initiate or move towards reconciliation, be quick to ask for forgiveness and keep short counts. Don't let the sun go down on ur anger. Priorities keep us focussed, throw off excess baggage which may distract you.

2. Take someone with You- Relationships
Don't live your life alone, experience things with people. Be relationship/friendship engaged! What we do together is not as important as simply BEING together. 2 questions: How can i add value to the people around me? What can i learn from them?
Lets enable people and not disable them. Lift people up with ur words and actions. Treat everyone as superior and LEARN from them. that will free you up.

3. Follow the roadmap- Game plan
Know your purpose and maximise your potential. Sow seeds to benefit others. Begin with the end in mind- make the most of everyday!

4. Take the High Road- Attitude
Your life stance is your overall frame of reference: its a set of attitudes, assumptions and expectations that you hold about yourself, others and about life. The high road is a road less travelled- becoming receipients of grace and showing grace to others as well. It requires doing things which are not natural or common. E.g learning to serve, not keeping count and being quick to forgive. Overcoming your natural inclination to win- having victory in knowing that you receive and give grace with ease. Your attitude is a constant conscious decision. Lets walk with grace- God will give us the confidence and the power to forgive.

5. Stop and ask directions

6. Make a U-turn when needed- Change

7. Appreciate the detours- Problems
Life is not about knowing it all, its about making the best out of what you have.

8. Take pictures- Memories

9. Go the Extra Mile- Commitment
Do more than what is required of u. Take pride in aiming for excellence!

10. Stop to smell the roses- Gratitude
Laugh more! relish the moment. A life lived only for tomorrow will only be a day that isn't realised for what it was today. Have an Abundant mentality. Cherish your yesterday, dream your tomorrow, live your today!
