Just jump in! Just start and launch! More often than not, before we do the thing that we would like to do, we are still waiting for that "map". That map for us to have the clarity. But guess what, you're not gonna find clarity! You're not gonna map this thing out and know exactly what it's gonna look like to get started.
How many of you out there today you're looking for clarity? If you think you're going to get it to a position to where you know exactly what it's going to look like and it's going to be safe and it's going to be secure, it is not going to happen!

Sometimes I get more ambition than I should have and I wrestled with it. Sometimes I get over ambitious and I get disappointed when results don’t coincide with my ambition. Oftentimes when your ambition is tied to a financial goal it doesn't really scratch the itch. I want to encourage you today to embrace the tension. It is what keeps us safe. If there is no tension in your life, something is going array. Enjoy where you are presently at. Learn to be content but don’t confuse that with complacency. I recommend you get and read Seth Buechley’s book Ambition: Leading with Gratitude and hopefully it will help you have more ambition or learn to be content with your ambitiousness.

Twenty years ago, my eldest just started driving. While I was teaching her I asked her to speed up until both of us are nervous. I wasn't even sure how fast we were going! And then I asked her to slow down. She asked me why I asked her to do that, and I answered because I want her to know what it will do. I took the mystery out of that driving experience, which could get her into trouble. Since then Brooke has not gotten any speeding ticket.
This past week, one of the Mastermind members came to the group and told us his teenage daughter is having sex. It broke our hearts. Listen, I am not casting stones at anyone. Dads, I am talking to you! We can do preventive measures to avoid this. Moms, you're very important.
We used to go to the mountains once a year and I remove my dad hat off. I made it comfortable for them to to talk about anything. And yes, we talked about sex. I didn't make them feel it's taboo! I didn't tell them "Go talk to your Mom!"
I remember I talked to them one at a time. I told them, "no man on the planet is going to tell you the truth like I will about the topic of sex." So I told them what men are thinking, what they will say that are all lies. I gave them a book, Every Man's Battle because I want them to understand how a man thinks.
My point is, we have to open the conversation to talk to our kids. Men, never again should you tell them to talk to your wife about things that you can.
Keep in mind, you also need to be a good model.
God entrusted us our kids to teach them. Take time. Open up a dialogue.
An interesting statistics, the number one deterrent to avoid teenage sex is having dinner together as a family.
So, even if it's uncomfortable, we have to tell them the truth.
