We're a Team, or are we?

Good morning everybody... Hope you are finally feeling that SPRING IS HERE!

Don't forget we're each part of a TEAM, or a FAMILY, right? . And "we are the team",

or the FAMILY....so let's remember our role there, whenever we think of it...for example

we can ask ourselves...

1. What can the Family do for others (in the family) today?

2. What can I do for the my team/family today... a message of hope or inspiration? "What

can I do to help?"

3. How can we advance the cause of "building up" each other? That's a little more subtle...

Suggestion: we might call or SKYPE with each other...just to chat, and NOT TO ASK

"So, have you gotten that Paper done for next week?" Or, "Have you been cleaning your

room, helping your Dad/Mom like you promised to?" "You ARE doing your devotions

every day, aren't you?"

I personally am tired of pressurizing our team and family environments...I'd rather relax and let my vision or my goals for a relationship start to do some of the work...then, by the close of a given day, I have MY OWN incentive to have DONE SOMETHING THAT DAY, to bring MY VISION into focus, etc. Know what I mean?

Well....have a really GREAT DAY, and try to find someone (or two) you can "build up" with

an affirming comment, like...."Hey, Johnny, it's great seeing you today....you really know how

to make things happen, or you have a great way of being positive, wherever you go...you're always so helpful to your Sisters and Brothers......etc."

OR, BETTER YET, try setting up YOUR OWN AFFIRMATION,,,,(something you say about yourself and repeat it again and again..) My favorite one is: "I am a positive person, always looking for ways to lift others up..." Then think of ways (imagine opportunities) you might happen onto someone whom you can "lift up" in some way....

Okay, this might put you OUTSIDE OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE....that space where you are comfortable..but remember that NO REAL GROWTH CAN OCCUR unless you get out of your comfort zone...where you do or say something that pushes the envelop a little...like that compliment/affirmation where you lift up

someone else.

Let's try it! Then post how it goes...what happens...Ok?
