How you are right is more important than being right. Don’t believe me? Tell me this story hasn’t been repeated a few times in your home.
Early in my marriage, my wife and I were arguing about something. We each thought we were right. I was right. Finally, after a bit of a verbal battle, I won. She reluctantly admitted that I was right.
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”
For far too long, years even, I’ve said to myself “someday I’m going to get organized, disciplined, and do the things I should be doing.” However, someday never came. I was stuck with wishful thinking until I made a decision that someday was today. Here are 4 steps that helped move me toward my “someday” life today.
Let me give an mundane example, my morning routine.
My schedule in irregular. I travel a lot. When I am home I work from my home office. I have many different organizational hats that I wear – CEO, team leader, website guy, mail clerk, marketing – as well

Receiving feedback is tough. We absolutely need it if we are to grow and improve. Yet, if you’re like me, you hate receiving critical feedback. I want to share 3 common mistakes made in receiving feedback. And 4 steps for how to effectively receive feedback.
Many people are not skilled in giving feedback. They say inappropriate things or are too emotional and not objective enough. Their feedback might not be entirely true.
We often receive people’s help and kindness, and then neglect to thank them. Don’t make this mistake! The impact of gratitude goes a long way.
Gratitude is a powerful way to encourage others by telling them the results of something they did for you. If we don’t pass along our thanks, that help may not be there next time.
Your change efforts could be making things worse. If you don’t do it right, you will strengthen the habit you are trying to break. Here’s the 3-step process Neuroscientists recently discovered to rewire your brain to change your life.
Science is discovering new ways in which we can rewire our brains for change. Neuroscientists used to explain that our difficulty in learning new “tricks” was due to our brains not continuing to physically develop during adulthood. The wiring in our brains, they thought, was established and not changeable after early adulthood. They were wrong.
Life is hard sometimes. Despite our best efforts we run into rough roads. The big five rough roads are: financial, marital, health, employment, and moves. Some are clearly marked, and some we come upon suddenly.
Rough roads disrupt the normal flow of our lives. They are usually stressful, disorienting and painful. While traveling rough roads, it seems like they will never end.
Winston Churchill said, “If you are going through hell, then keep on going.” There are many things that you can do to both prepare for rough roads and to travel them.
