Why do you get up in the morning?

ICCD Leadership class - Semester V

WHY --> Purpose
W/ WHOM --> "The Team"
FOR WHOM --> Impact!
WHAT--> Product
WHEN --> Timelines and Priorities
HOW --> System and Process to get it done


It is a spiritual journey and a lot of things will distract you from the path you're on.
There are people who will try to discourage you, or not believe in you: don't listen to them.

For every article/reading: write down the 3 take-aways ("aha") --> things that capture your attention: there's a reason for that!
--> What are you going to do differently because of those?

I have something (a product) to offer the world; somebody believes in me.

When the values of the org you work with and your "why" match - magic happens.

My hope is anchored on the other side

This lyric is from a song off the new Switchfoot album. Kinda captures how I felt until May 2013. The album itself, though, feels hopeful and feels like it captures how I have felt since May 2013: with the wind at my back again!

"My hope is anchored on the other side
With the colors that live outside of the lines…

And my heart is yours
And what a broken place it's in
But you're what I'm running for
And I want to feel the wind at my back again"

Back to the Beginning Again - Switchfoot

Hope has not forgotten

Fog that is lifting


the spectre of dreams we once had

speaks into the night

Slumber is over


sunlight is streaming through

come into the light

I know

Hope has not forgotten me

- Five Iron Frenzy (It Was a Dark and Story Night / Hope Still Flies)

beginnings

"For a moment, I had seen my pain as the violent, convulsive end to everything for which I had worked. But God had entered me and made me see it as the stinging, bittersweet beginning to everything He was going to do…"

- John M. Perkins
Let Justice Roll Down (p. 197)
