Fw: GREAT LEADERS GET BACK TO FUNDAMENTA

Team:

How do you keep the edge? How do you keep the passion to keep pursuing your dreams and goals?

Sometimes in a season we try, try and try to pull out a win but for whatever reason we keep coming up short. This can be frustrating and confusing.

Jesus said, "come to Me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest."

What was Jesus talking about? The Physical Game or the Mental Game? I think He was talking about the Mental Game. People were stressed with no hope and no future.

Jesus was saying, "come to me and I will help you get your head back in the game. I will help you get focused again. I will sharpen you up."

This is what Solomon had to say:

"If the ax is dull and its edge unsharpened, more strength is needed but skill will bring success." Ecc 10:10

GREAT LEADERS GET BACK TO FUNDAMENTALS!

Check out what Lou Holtz says:

"If you are bored with life, if you don't have a burning desire to get up in the morning to do things, your problem is you do not have goals." --

Lou Holtz Former Coach Notre Dame

Have we run out of Goals? When practice becomes stagnant and boring it is time to come up with some New Goals to Challenge us. We can start with the Fundamentals of blocking and tackling. This is the heart of the team.

Maybe our family has lost its sharpness. Maybe its our business. Maybe its our relationship with God. It could be a number of things.

The Fundamentals of Blocking and Tackling are the same as Reading God's Word and Praying daily. Do we spend time on the important things?

Hudson Taylor says before we own a good skill we must repeat it 1000's of times.

"Practice makes Perfect."

The verse above does say that if the edge is dull we need to work a little harder and we will have success.

The Success comes from the hours of preparation and 1000's of repetitions.

So How do we get sharp? How do we keep the edge? How do you keep the passion to keep pursuing your dreams and goals?

By going back to the fundamentals like:
Praying, Reading and Fellowship.

Jesus said earlier to get our head in the game we need to come to Him.

The Mental Rest is knowing God is in Control and now we can Perform.

GREAT LEADERS GET BACK TO FUNDAMENTALS!

Start Fast - Finish Strong!

Just Go!!
