Inside Out

Change — real change — come from the inside out.

-- Stephen Covey

Narrative

If you want to understand someone, figure out the narrative they tell themselves about themself.

If you want to change your behavior, change your narrative.

If you want to change someone else’s behavior, offer them a more compelling narrative they can tell themselves.

-- Shane Parrish

How I'm Doing

I’ve noticed…that I have to get out of bed in the morning to more accurately assess how I'm doing.

Private Evacuation Plan

For many today, God is seen—and used—as a partner in our private evacuation plan more than any love encountered that transforms mind or liberates heart. This is revealed in the little, if any, concern that many Christians show for justice, the earth, or the poor. The fruits of love are often not apparent in them, and not even of much interest to many of them.
