What a great collection of planes and space memorabilia exists at the National Air and Space Museum!  Observing the innovations in flight through the years stimulated this article, “Increased Awareness Has Two Sources.”

Every one of us--not just those who are interested in flight--can benefit from cultivating an appreciation for paradigm shifts and feedback. I encourage you to open yourself (and your organization) in a fresh way to these two terrific ways of expanding your awareness!

Everything you do has something to do with "choice"!   You’re making choices all the time. 

And every choice is driven by your values.  Can you describe your values?  It might be worthwhile to spend some time doing that!

Here’s this week’s article, “Your Values Drive Your Behaviors.”

This week's article is the third of three that highlight critical choices that you address daily.  You decide over and over:
--what meaning you give to situations you face,
--what actions you take in response to the many situations you face,
--where and how you focus your limited time and energy.

Oh, if we only had a meter that would allow us to tune to the most effective focus areas!  Ah, but making choices, even bad ones, is part of the freedom God gave us!

From the time of about age three, we start thinking "I know."  For the next twenty years, we deceive ourselves into believing "I know." 

Then we suddenly realize there is not much that we really know.  Yet the pattern is established!  We continue to be deceived, and we continue to believe "I know."  

I described last week that there are at least five options for responding to any situation you face.  In the three examples I share in today's article, "What Does It Mean--You Choose!", one option seems evident.  Ah, but making meaning is personal, and what a situation means to one person may be very different for you.

Get comfortable asking, "What else could this mean?"

We all make dozens of choices every day.  We usually make decisions quickly, not realizing the multiple options from which we might choose--or the possibility that the outcomes we expect may not be what really occurs.

Take a look at this week's article, "It's My Choice--What Will I Do?" to see how your values and desired outcomes influence your decisions.
