Press Retry

8/23/2015

1 Comment

 
The other day I overheard my two younger kids saying "press retry," "press retry." I went to look at what they were doing and found they were playing a video game...and apparently struggling to pass a particular level.


But, this made me wonder, wouldn't it be great if we could "press retry" for an hour out of our day...or even "press retry" for an entire day, and do something over...do something different...make different choices and decisions.


Then, it struck me. We can! Our "press retry" is every new morning we wake up! Each morning is a new opportunity to do better...be better...and make better decisions! You see, when my kids were "pressing retry," they were not going back through the level again and making the same decisions and choices. Rather, they were learning from their previous tries and making new choices, in an attempt to do better, and be better, then they were the time before.


We, too, can take this same perspective and apply it to our lives. All it takes is the commitment and courage to wake up each day and "press retry."

Zach, 
There are many things I want to share with you now that you have reached this milestone in your life. But, knowing that if I wrote too much there is a good chance you won't read it, I decided to filter it down to 10 life phrases that will help in directing your life.

  1. When you focus on problems you will get more problems... When you focus on possibilities you will get more opportunities.
  2. Prayer is the most powerful tool you have for every problem and decision you will encounter.
  3. You were made for greatness, make great decisions.
  4. Make things happen, don't wait for things to happen.
  5. Everyday choose how you feel about the things, people and events around you.
  6. Everyday choose how you will respond to the things, people and events around you.
  7. True strength is expressed by being the first to apologize and the first to forgive.
  8. Persistence will always lead to success, so don't stop until you have reached your vision of success.
  9. Your future is, in part, determined by the people you choose to associate with. So, choose with your future in mind.
  10. Passionately pursue a relationship with God every day of your life!

I encourage you to read these 10 phrases over and over until they are stuck in your head like a bad song. Because if these phrases are lived out, I am confident you will be a difference maker in this world!

I am proud of you... And will always be your biggest fan!
