Yesterday, we had ten couples at our house and we sat around talking about various topics related to the passage of the day. One of our conversations came up about confidence and self esteem. One of the ladies, 55 years old, sat there in tears and she said, you what?
My dad always expected me to be perfect and because of that, today my self esteem is low. Are you the same kind of parent? Would you like your children to say the same thing when they reach 55 years old? When was the last time you told your children you're proud of them? This is just one the things you can do RIGHT NOW. Watch the video and listen to more tips on how not to be the same kind of parent of that 55 year old lady.

If you're not gonna believe in yourself and you don't believe you can do it like why should I or people believe in you and why should I believe that you can do it.
But I want to encourage you today to think through what it is that you're doing professionally. Do you have that level of confidence? Start believing in yourself because if you don't believe in you it's gonna be hard to convince others to believe in you as well.

My good friend Dan Miller encouraged me 14 years ago to turn off the news. I said, "there's no way I will turn off the news! I won't appear to be an upstanding citizen-somebody who's informed!"
One night, Robin and I were watching the ten o'clock news getting ready to go to bed then she started crying. She said "I can't take this anymore! I can't watch anymore murders... I can't watch anymore car wrecks... I can't watch... you fill in the blank."
I wonder what would happen in your life if you were to turn off the news. I want to challenge you to do that just for 30 days. It's a good time to turn it off right now and see what happens. Dan challenged me to do it and I did and it's been 14 years ago my life has been better as a result of having not watch the news.
There's great blogs. There are so many areas to get news from. What if you fill your mind with positive stuff? Or if you've got a great podcast? Read a great blog? Something encouraging? What if you sit down and took that same 30 minutes and wrote a word of encouragement to somebody? Or text somebdoy? What if you did something for your children? You instructed your children on how to be maybe man of character or ladies of character?
Instead of filling your mind with the news, I want to extend the challenge. Try it for 30 days. I promise you it will make your life different. I look back now with Dan Miller's encouragement and I can't thank him enough for encouraging me to turn the news off as I did 14 years ago and I promise you I've had a lot better moments as a result of not having watched the news and I haven't missed anything!
If you have lost someone, there’s a time we need to grieve but there’s a time to pick yourself up and move move on. There are people around us - - - our spouse, children (and grand children, if you have any) who are being cheated as a result of you not moving on do the things that you regularly do - things that you enjoy and love doing.
My encouragement to you today is, or my question to you is, don't you think it's time to move on? I mean isn't it time whatever that is, whether it's a business loss, I don't know maybe it's a relationship that went bad, maybe it was a divorce, maybe it was a financial crisis, maybe you were bankrupt or you keep kicking yourself and blaming yourself. Well guys listen, primarily I'm talking to you men, we have people counting on us and depending on us and we have responsibilities to our family first of all. Your family may be tired of you wallowing in your sorrows - pick yourself up and MOVE ON!
