Going the Extra Mile In Your Relationships

Overcompensate.

"Whoever forces you to go one mile, go with him two." - Matthew 5:41

Krystle S. Talley of The Christian Chameleon would say this means to go the extra mile to compromise, love, and give grace to your significant other. I think that is a great take on it.  The Bible might also call this bearing one another's burdens.

When it comes to dating as divorced people, one thing we have to be aware of is that the other person (especially if divorced, as well) has suffered unique harms and I believe we must be ready to overcompensate for them.

Let me give an example so you can personalize this. If he is dealing with abandonment issues, bear with him. Warning: This takes work!!!  Relationships are NOT for the selfish!   Do little things to show that you are loyal - even where you might think they are unnecessary gestures. Normally, these gestures would be overkill, but you're dealing with a man who may still need some healing in that area.  Likewise, if a woman has been the victim of years of verbal abuse or criticism, should not a man of God be intentional about building her up with his words? Of course!

(Side note: Nobody will be 100% healed when you enter into relationship with them. Neither will you be.  I don't believe it's possible this side of Heaven. We can let that fantasy die right here!)

If you are drawn to someone, consider that you may actually have been given a burden in the spirit for that person. And if you have a burden for somebody, bear with them and help them bear their burdens. You will need to do a little extra. Jesus might call this going the extra mile and I think it very much comes into play when dealing with people who've been bruised.

Consider this, too.  Must not everything we do or say minister grace in Christ?

Dreaming of diligence and waking to walk it out...

I love sharing my dreams with you all.  I try to do it while they're fresh so I don't forget the details.  Here's from last night...

I was digging around in my front yard near the sidewalk under some of the decorative bricks that lining the concrete walk. (Why? Who knows? It was a dream.)

Digging. Getting my fingers dirty, I discovered a coin. A penny most likely. And then, finding that penny, I decided to keep digging. I found a dime, a nickel, a quarter, a few more pennies. Another nickel or two. Basically, my digging was guaranteed to be profitable. Every time I stuck my hands into the ground and searched I was going to find something. Pretty cool. Pretty soon my pockets were jingling and beginning to fill. "Why not sit here all day digging up coins?" I thought. There would be no harm in it. I could keep picking up loose change until I had to go inside, right?  After a while, I resolved in my mind that things were pretty good. Dig. Find. Dig.  Find. No worries.

After a while, something curious happened.  I uncovered a coin I didn't recognize. It was large, muddy of course, and covered with strange writing. Odd. Brass most likely. It was a little dull to be gold. Not very heavy for its size either. But certainly large. Yeah. Pretty sure it was brass.  Pretty sure it wasn't from the US.  I couldn't even figure out the language the writing was in let alone translate it.  Interesting.

I washed the mud off and took it to a guy I knew who was an appraiser. I had no expectations. I left it with him and went home. I had a pocket full of coins. My day had gone well, I'd say.

A few days later the man called me back.

"Do you know what this is?"

"No" I replied. Because I didn't.

"Where did you find it?"

"Don't recall.  Somewhere." Lying because I didn't want to tell anybody.

He hung up the phone without any further words.

His reaction made me nervous that he was going to try and steal my new treasure, so I went down to his shop right away and asked for it back. He obliged and handed me the coin which I placed in my jeans pocket - in the left pocket apart from my usual loose change - and left.

The man never told me what the coin was or what it was worth. I never found out. All I know is that as I walked down the street heading home a couple of dealers called me offering to buy it. Even they never made an offer. They simply said they needed it and asked me what I wanted. Clearly my friend had let it slip that I had found something special. To be honest, I was more amused and intrigued than anything. My mind started wondering just how much my find was worth. $10,000? $50,000? $100,000? More? Who knows?! I had no idea, but I didn't begin to allow myself to dream exciting dreams of travel... luxury... debt-free living! Oooooo.... I wonder what this thing is??!!!

Nearly home, I passed by the park. A group of mimes (do mimes perform in groups??) stopped when they saw me walking by and gave me an ovation.  They had heard about my discovery, as well.

That is about when I awoke. I still don't know what I found. All I know is that it was my diligence in mining the small coins that made it possible to find the treasure. That's all I know. 

When I was alert enough to separate dreams from real life, I prayed and thanked God for the renewed encouragement towards diligence. I also prayed that He would help me walk out this lesson in my waking life - that I would not forget the power of diligence. To remind myself, I shared a few notes from my blog with you on my Facebook page this morning. In all transparency, I posted to remind myself as much as to help you, dear reader.  I need us all to remember that...

Diligence uncovers great treasures!  My prayer is for greater diligence. For me and for you.

If you ask me nicely, one day I will share the second lesson I learned from this dream...

A Nation of Haters?

When did we become such a nation of haters? I am disappointed in this. That's an understatement! It's sad to me that we used to be a nation of people who aspired to greater. Now we just want to get by, antagonize those who want more for themselves and then try and take what they earn. Jealousy, envy and rivalry have filled the hearts of so many that it's unusual to hear sincere congratulatory statements anymore.

Think about how rare it is to find someone who will celebrate with you. It's more common that people will celebrate when you cry.

Even compliments are too often backhanded - only offered wrapped inside a criticism towards the target or someone else... "You look nice today... unlike that ugly person over there..." or "You look a lot better today than you normally look..." or, as I heard someone say the other day, "Scandal is good.  At least it doesn't suck like... "   I am screaming inside "WHY CAN'T YOU JUST SAY YOU LIKE SCANDAL AND LEAVE IT AT THAT!?!?"

To me the cause is clear. Too much time spent minding other peoples' business and not enough on your own... because you have no business of your own to excite you! You see, it's easy to criticize when you take no chances of your own. And you hurl accusations at others because it hurts your heart to be honest - those criticisms are for you! You're angry with and disappointed in yourself!

Here are the guidelines for my life and my personal circle: I don't spend time with people who can't appreciate others, who can't compliment, who can't care. I won't entertain your comments. You don't have access to my emotions. There are enough of your kind around. I'm sure you can find some company. In the mean time, the rest of us will be making progress towards our visions. I aim on giving people more to envy.

I've noticed how difficult it is for some of us to give sincere compliments consistently. Complaints seem to roll off the tongue a lot easier. "Feedback" will be offered whether requested or not. I'm issuing myself a Live Big Die Empty Challenge today: No complaints, no deprecation; only praise and appreciation. Everyone I encounter today will receive "exuberant edification" instead of constructive criticism. How about you?

It takes nine compliments to undo the damage of one criticism.  How much damage have you been doing to yourself?  To others?  It's time to start healing and building up!

7 Ways to Form A "Pack" So You Can Hunt Bigger Game

We've talked before about what each of us can learn from the lion, the king of the jungle. I've got a particular fondness to lions because of a couple of things the scriptures teach us about the nature of these big cats and how we're to emulate them.  We also know that too many of us spend too much time and too much effort for too little result because we try to fight alone. .Here are some things you can do to start forming your own pack and going after bigger game.

#1 - Make a list of all the people who care about the issue. Really care about it.

#2 - Identify two of them to talk to. Set up a breakfast or lunch meeting. Lay out my aspirations to see if they are interested. My goal is to get another meeting with them.

#3 - Brainstorm with the first supporter about a list of (mostly unempowered) targets who might like to get involved. Put together a tight schedule for contacting 5-10 people from that list.

#4 - Start a master file listing all the people that I want involved in the project.

#5 - Never let a chance to brief a co-conspirator or potential co-conspirator pass.  In other words, never pass up a chance to tell your story!

#6 - Find an enthusiast to use the product/service.

#7 - Put this first enthusiast in charge of finding others.

It's as simple as that.  We have to stop trying to do so much alone.  And, for my friends reading this... Yes. I am looking in the mirror right now!

Becoming Your Best Self

This has been EVERYTHING to me. If you're on my personal page, you saw me talk about this the other day. Even so, take this a reminder. Now you've heard it twice and you're accountable.  This is something I had to learn and practice for myself and I can tell you honestly.... this way lies happiness and fulfillment! 

You have an image of your best self in mind. Everyone does. Whether you see yourself as a speaker, an author, a teacher, a student, a wife and mother, a happy husband greeting his family at the door, everyone has a picture in their mind of their best self.

My encouragement to you today is that it is important that you take steps towards that picture every day. I can't stress enough how important that is. For some of you, it is a matter of life and death. Too long operating outside of your ideal image damages EVERYthing in your life. It can lead to health problems, challenges in your spiritual walk, relationship problems and parenting issues. Believe me. I know! It can even lead to depressive states.

Some call it "cognitive dissonance" when you have something YOU KNOW YOU SHOULD BE DOING but you continue to allow yourself not to do it. For example, you KNOW you should launch that business, but you hesitate. You KNOW you should ask that woman out on a date, but you don't. The longer you continue to deny your best self, the more you begin to lose that self.  You begin to slip backwards.  You become frustrated and often don't know why.

Keep taking steps towards who you know you're meant to be. A wonderful added benefit is how great you will begin to feel about yourself and your life once you know you're fighting for progress even in small ways! Go forward! #BabyStepsCountToo #KeepMoving

"Fortune favors the bold."

Normally there's only one quality separating those who are successful in achieving meaningful goals and those who aren't: a bias towards action. You're thinking about doing it; they're doing it. Or trying it.

"Develop a bias towards action!"

Makes no difference between the two because once you get going, it's easier to correct your course. They always said it's easier to steer a moving vehicle, right? Either way, the longer you contemplate, the less likely you are to EVER achieve what's really on your heart to do. The calculations of what can go wrong will keep mounting in your mind.

The only way to fix this is to commit to acting and ACT!  Yesterday I posted about "fortune" a few times. By "fortune" I do not mean "luck" since luck is too tied to chance. When I say fortune, I'm speaking of opportunity.

Fortune is a woman, if you neglect her today expect not to regain her. - Unknown

Fortune, being a lady, favors the bold. - Nicolo Machiavelli

You will never cross the ocean until you have the courage to lose sight of the shore. - Christopher Columbus

There's a common theme in all of these thoughts: The more you act... the more you take chances...the more you go beyond what you're usually comfortable doing... the more you will succeed!

Now get out of my way.  I've got moves to make, too!

My Wall of Gratitude

I heard about this idea years ago. About a decade really. This is what's called a Wall of Gratitude and it's designed to help you remember and celebrate the goodness that's in your life. (Too often we focus on what we lack.) This is mine. This is 100% how I have it in my journal with corrections only for my chicken-scratch induced misspellings when I wrote these out by hand. I'd like to share them with you.

This list represents some of the people for whom I am truly grateful, but have never felt as if I have had an adequate opportunity to thank properly.  Bear with me because my list is very long. There are a lot of people who have helped me in large and small ways for which I am eternally grateful. There’s a fair chance a lot of people I’m about to list don’t even know how much they have impacted my journey through life.

Alvin and Dorothy McCray for being the best parents and support system ever.
Timothy and LaTanya McCray for being in my corner.
Pastor Thaddeus Eastland for helping me put the pieces of my life back together.
My Facebook Friends for reading my rants when I needed some therapy.
Paul Grohman, John Cruise and Steven Kaufman for teaching me about excelling in business.
Christian Smith and Leroy Nellis for teaching me that excellence comes through teamwork.
Duncan Butler for showing me there was more in me than I could see.
Tipton Ross, Bill Morrow and Eileen Kret for knocking off some of the rough edges off a country boy.
Janice Marshall for expecting a young kid from Texarkana to do something with his life.
Melissa Gray for telling me how great I was even when I knew I wasn't that great.
My daughters (Kennedy, Courtney and Mackenzie) for loving their dad even when their dad wasn't being lovable.

To all of you, THANK YOU!!!

I have more.  Many more.  I probably need to do a second volume.  In fact, I think I'll start on that right away.  More people already come to mind.

Now start your own Wall of Gratitude! Better yet, why not share here somebody for whom you're grateful!? Tag them. Let them know how much you appreciate them. Focus on good things and watch more good things come into your life!

The Worthlessness of Feeling Worthless

Anybody else ever feel worthless? I'm not talking about being unworthy before God. To be worthless, is quite different. While being unworthy is about our merits, being worthless is about our value. I'm talking about how horribly stagnating feeling worthless (of little or of no value) is as a man or a woman. When someone feels worthless, they feel as if they are insignificant and have nothing valuable to offer the world.

Am I the only one who has ever felt that way? Just me?

That's okay. I'll testify on my own.

First, let's be clear about something.  Nobody can make you feel worthless.  No matter what is said or done to you, only you own that power. Quite honestly, if you think people can make you feel worthless, you're being a victim - and victims never win.

Feeling worthless had been a struggle area of mine for a long time. No one's fault but mine. Sure.  People had words to say intended to tear me down, but I didn't become torn down until I took those words and made them my own.  I allowed feelings of guilt to strip me of my self-worth.  I felt like I "deserved" everything bad that came my way.  (Which is ironic because I hate the word "deserve" normally.  As it turns out, I only hated it when it came to discussing good things.)

What I found is that feeling worthless is a waste of time.  Until you allow yourself to know you're truly worthy, you will reject every blessing that comes. It won't even matter if that blessing literally begs to be a part of your life.  That's what I was doing.  I was rejecting blessings of all kinds... business, ministry, financial, relational.  Whatever.  If it was good, I was rejecting it.  In my mind, I wasn't good enough for it.  That's the enemy's work.  He might not be able to stop the blessings from coming, but he can influence you to reject the gift.  Get me?  I had to learn to start speaking blessings over my life and making positive proclamations about my person and purpose.  Had to.  No choice except to learn how to believe good things about myself or stay in a hole emotionally.

Full confession is that this is still something I battle about every other day or three.  What I've learned to do is use positive affirmations more aggressively and even sing praise and worship songs in the morning.  When that isn't working, I am fortunate to have friends, family and loved ones who'll remind me that I'm talking myself down (again) and they will help me snap out of it.

This is a longer blog than I normally post.  I hope someone is hearing me and makes a commitment to themselves to start speaking God language.  Life and not death.  I even open to having you remind me if you catch me in error.  This is about life so you've got to get it right! I've got to get it right - and I will.  Believe that!  You will get it right, too! I believe in us and the work the Holy Spirit can do as we're yielded to Him.

Keep speaking life.  As I've learned to speak life, I've seen increase in every area in which I've been intentional about my words.  It can feel silly if you're not accustomed to it, but speak life anyway.   Your words work even when it doesn't feel like it.  I'm a witness!

"I ain't never gonna change."

"I can't change."
"I'm never gonna change."
"Take me the way I am."

Was listening to some songs on the radio with my daughters yesterday. These are the anthems we're allowing to play in our ears!?!?

Guess what? Most people don't want to hear it but successful relationships OF ALL KINDS require constant change. Expecting people to accept all of you exactly the way you are is selfish and prideful.  I'll grant you this.  You should not change everything about yourself all the time.  You should formulate a core set of values that you will not compromise but be very willing to adjust your behavior as you move through life.

A core value is a fundamental belief. For example, your belief that children should be born inside of a marital union would be a core value. A behavior is how you act or conduct yourself. An example would be the side of the bed you sleep on. Would changing the side of the bed on which you sleep cause you to violate a core value? I hope not! Changing behaviors are simply adjustments we all make to make society work.

You know what they call people who won't change? Alone and miserable. There's a secret every successfully married couple knows that most single people don't know: each partner bends and adjusts A LOT to keep the home happy. "I won't change" is a sure-fire formula for broken relationships.

If you need help changing the way you see some things and yourself, join my Relationship Readiness Group. You'll love it as study together with a particular focus on how to prepare yourself for love and healthy relationships!

In our time together we work through various facets of preparing for meaningful relationships and marriage beginning with setting Godly relationship goals and much more.  Additionally, we will use a private Facebook group to share materials, engage in candid discussion and post announcements for each of the personal coaching calls.

If YOU need this kind of help, join this group by clicking the image below! Only $5 per month!! 

Our first group coaching call is  Sunday, September 1 at 7PM and I am limiting participation to keep the group intimate and focused.  (Schedule 90 minutes for each session.) Claim your spot today!

In the mean time, learn to be humble and strong enough to change. There's nothing wrong with giving a little ground to get along better.  It doesn't make you any less of a person nor any weaker of a person.  God bless!
