Sharing Resources to Help You Grow Personally, Professionally & Financially

Sometimes it helps to get a little dose of encouragement—along with a good cup of coffee!—to start the day.

Hopefully the message below will help you get off to a good start for the week.  Please feel free to forward the newsletter on to others that you think would benefit from the content.

What Comes First—Really?

“First” is one of those words we toss around without thinking:

“I finished in first place.”
“First, we need to…”
“In the first place…”

We use it casually. But think about it—how often do we stop and ask ourselves what truly comes first in our lives? Not in theory. Not in speeches. But in the real, messy, Monday-through-Sunday rhythm of life.

Are You Choosing What Comes First—Consciously?

We all have priorities. But are we living like we chose them—or are we just reacting?

For me, my order is clear:

Faith. Family. Friends. Fitness. Finances.

I wish I could say I nail this every day. Truth is—I don’t. Life happens. Deadlines pile up. Calendars overflow. And sometimes, I get things out of order.

The good news? I’ve got people in my life—family and friends—who help pull me back to center. Not with judgment, but with gentle reminders that sound a lot like love.

That brings us to this week’s question:

• What do you put first?

Thanks for sharing a bit of your time with me this Monday morning.  

Have a great week!
