âI become an agent of change, only to the degree that I begin to live to help things go rightâŠ.â This episode begins a series sharing the principles from the book, The Anatomy of Peace written by the Arbinger Institute. It is a fictional story that helps teach some principles. We are going to have a handful of parts to this book and this week I will be sharing some of the things that I learned from chapter 1 through 4. The book begins with a story of some families who are dropping off their children at a wilderness rehabilitation camp, called Camp Moriah. There the directors spend a few days teaching the parents so they can help facilitate change when their children are done with the program. In this part of the book, the main parts of change is to understand that we become agents of change when we spend more time on helping things go right rather than correcting and criticizing. Then the first principle we learn is about having a heart at war or a heart at peace. We learn about the crusaders and Saladin and which was more successful due to their heart being at peace despite being involved in a war.

âItâs not the absence of self-doubt, but the ongoing resistance to it.â Bear with me in this episode when I share a confidence draining experience. Luckily I remembered the book, The Confident Mind, by Dr. Nate Zinsser. In chapter 5 I was reminded about protecting our confidence through setbacks. So this episode is a bit of a reminder to me of practical things to do to regain your confidence when a big drain occurs. Things like looking for my daily progress, effort and success and then stopping the looping confidence killing thoughts and replacing them with thoughts that build energy, enthusiasm, and optimism.

âThe Savior's grace gives us the right to choose to become what he offers us to become.â This is a different kind of Christmas episode. I talk a little bit about faith and works from both Paul and James of the New Testament. And with that I shared an idea I got from Dr. J.B. Haws who has an analogy of faith and works being like a water skier. I explore the whole water skier analogy and share my experiences learning how to water ski to share how much work it takes to get up and also you canât water ski without the boat. It is a different way to think about Christâs role in our life and I really like it.

âyet I was, by the endeavour, a better and a happier man than I otherwise should have been if I had not attempted it.â This episode comes out and we have one month until the new year.

Old year meaning - starting in December, what are some things you want to do in the new year that you can get a jump start on. I also mention how it can be helpful to look back and reflect on how you did, where you need to change things or simply take them off your list for next year.
