Are you a chameleon? Do you change your color based on your surroundings because you want to be liked by your peers, the people around you? Would you rather agree with the majority even if it's not the right thing to do?
Or are you a thought leader who's not afraid to stand alone? I was told before, always be willing to stand alone if you are convicted that you're making the right decision. I don't like chameleons! I don't like people who stick their finger in the air first before making a decision.

I want to give you an assignment today, whether it's a family member or whether it's somebody at work, in your community at your church or wherever it's at. I want you to go up to them if you do believe in them that - don't go up blowing smoke I hate it when people blow smoke - if you really believe in that person, I want you to that person and say some encouragement. Tell him that you believe in his abilities and potential. Tell him that you have a confidence in him. You can also send him send them a note and say means “you're the best at this and I see this in you can”. You never know how it's radically going to change their life.
Whose life today can you change? I promise you if you do this you stand by and you watch the results.

Do you have that friend? Do you have somebody that will tell you the truth? Do you have somebody that cares about you enough to really sit down with you and be candid and open and honest?
One thing that I want to talk to you about this morning is having a close friend that will tell you the truth. A lot of people do not want to do that - being a close friend and just be honest with you. They don't want to go there because it gets messy sometimes.
A true friend does not come easy. It has a price and it may some times takes time and even years to develop such a relationship with somebody that can call you out.
However, be willing to subject yourself to the scrutiny of a few people that can really tell you the honest truth - not to call you out to be mean or detrimental do your success but to aid you in your success.

I want to talk to you about one of the reasons that you're struggling in your present occupation today....it's the lack of clarity. Let me tell you what I'm talking about on that. I think many people tie their identity up into what they do, right? We can't do that! We can't tie our identity up into our occupation!
For me, I'm a Christ-follower, so my identity is tied up in Jesus Christ. That's first and foremost. What's most important in my life so that's where my identity has got to be tied. Many people are trying to get purpose out of their occupation rather than what they can do with those resources. You can take those resources and do other things to give you that sense of purpose and meaning.

I'm reading a great book right now called "The Talent Code". There's a couple of guys in our mastermind group that recommended this book. I started thinking back about these guys in their history, their work history, their work ethic. These guys are off the chart! I mean, they have seven-figure businesses! They've been very successful throughout.
Life has been successful and all the things that they've done personally and I started thinking, "Man, I might order and check this book out!" So now we bought a copy for everybody in our mastermind group. We're taking 130 guys through The Talent Code and what The Talent Code is about, is DEEP PRACTICE. It builds myelin in your brain. These neural pathways that help us understand how to do the deep work and how to stay on task with doing the things that we need to do and it's through this deep practice.
