Affirmation, it does not come naturally with us men. But I'd like you to tell you that it is probably that changed my life as much as anything. I am just going to tell you, guys, we just do not do it enough. It is uncomfortable at first, doing public affirmation. However, the reason it is so valuable, whether we admit it or not, we need affirmation. We are all starving to death for affirmation from those who are close to us. Start now in affirming someone! If you are not sure where or how to start, start it in your family.

Do something that matter for people who care - Seth Godin.
What Seth had said resonated with me over the past 40 years. With the businesses that I have had, we did things that matter for those who care. Differentiate your business. I'd like to encourage you today to do things that matter for the people that are carrying you in your industry. Do not waiver, stand on your core values! Stand on your principles and provide a great service. Decide on that you are and stick with that thing!

Have you ever thought about how much your words matter you know? In the book of James it talks about how if we can hold our tongue. If we can get control of our tongue we can control our whole body and I'm like man that is such a powerful word. To think about our words and how they matter. Think about the ways that you could encourage your peers and your colleagues. Start at home. Think of ways that you could encourage your wife instead of belittling her and berating her in front of her friends. Think about if you encouraged and edified her. I want to tell you right now man your words matter and I want to encourage you to think clearly today on how you can edify and encourage those that are around you.

"You always want to leave your audience wanting more." What does this mean? We got to be careful even in our conversations when we are getting to know people even better. You want to leave them wanting a little more. You do not want them leaving and saying "I am glad that is over!". There are also cases that when we are in the phase of knowing someone better, we talk a little too much about our ourself. It would be best to turn the conversation around. Always point it back to the person you are with. In doing so, we are leaving a sweet taste in their mouth, like they can't wait to get back to that conversation.

I wanted to encourage you guys to do is to serve. Either in your local church or in your community. Don't spend all your time working and trying to make money. Listen, we're gonna be remembered for that legacy and it's not for how much you've got but it's how much you give away. Take the time out and serve locally. Serve the people that are around you and I promise you the dividends will be huge. If you're feeling that tug to go and serve at your local church, don't be, you know, just a taker, be somebody that give. So use your skills. Use your talents and see what can happen as a result of it.
