God’s Country
This message will be short and sweet, because I’m on vacation on the mountain.
Actually slept in until 0715 today! And ever since, been catching up with friends and drinking coffee; great fellowship and also enjoying the view from this mountain in Hiawasee, Georgia.
God’s Country.
It’s amazing what my friend, Paul Baumann, accomplished.
I remember standing on this same spot a decade or so ago when what now is was just his vision.
Then he did what he had to do to turn the Vision into reality; the reality his family enjoys today- and this week, Barb and I too.
You may have seen my video message the other day where I explain that this is the same thing that we do at Krav Maga Martial Arts.
Paul created 100 acres of mountaintop resort, including his family home, an orchard house, his brother’s home and more…
At KMMA, we create confident and competent Blackbelt Leaders, prepared to survive and thrive in any situation, and empowered to lead- where they’re at and into their futures.
Both begin with Vision.
Vision not of what is, but of what could be.
This is the first step towards creating the future we want- the Vision of it.
What is your Vision, for your life, your future, and that of your kids and/or others?
When casting Vision, don’t let thoughts or feelings of what is realistic, plausible or possible stifle you.
Create a Vision of what would be if everything was exactly the way you wanted it to be- 3,5,10 years into the future….
I hope you won’t take this challenge lightly.
The ability to see the future that you want, as though it already existed, to feel how you will feel, and then to believe strongly enough to take the actions that will make your Vision true is the is quite possibly the most powerful indicator of what your future will be.
This is true for you, those you love and it’s true for me.
We must guard our thoughts, and cast our Vision in a positive direction, for we move in the direction of our dominant thoughts.
See it, believe it, achieve it.
Prepare To Live; Empower To Lead!
