Being Encouraged

My friend, David Porter, who I respect and admire, wrote an excellent post on being encouraged. Do pop over to his blog, David Porter Leadership, to read the expansion of his thoughts. I have outlined the points below. Pop on over; you'll be encouraged.

1. Change your physiology.
2. Change your focus.
3. Change your words.
4. Don't watch television news for one week.
5. Take 15 minutes a day to meditate or visualize how you want your life to be.

David's posts often include beautiful photos taken by his daughter, Chesapeake. She's a beautiful thoughtful talented young lady. While you're over at David's blog, do check out hers too. Father and daughter are both special indeed.

I'll check them both out after soccer this morning. In the meantime, I linked to your post yesterday about the power of prayer. I made my own awards and gave you one for this post. You don't have to "accept it" but I wanted you to know if you get a sudden influx of people and comments. :-)

Corrie - I think you will be encouraged by David's post and his blog in general. He writes on leadership in ways that are very thoughtful and meaningful, giving suggestions on how to move forward, often times incrementally. Thanks for the award. It's appreciated
