Welcome to the Becoming podcast. A podcast focused on inspiring you with topics of progress and overall growth. We all are BECOMING something, so let’s become better together. My name is Zack Harris, and I’m your host today.  If there was ever a time where this episode was needed, it’s now. We are living in a very hostile, divisive, difficult time as a country and world. We are in the middle of a worldwide pandemic, race-related controversies are at the forefront of our lives, AND on top of that we are in a presidential election year. That is a lot. I read somewhere “WHEN TIGER KING IS THE MOST NORMAL THING THAT’S HAPPENED IN 2020, YOU KNOW IT’S BEEN A WILD YEAR.” OBSTACLERight now, the problem is there is so much divisiveness and arguing. People are on edge & easily offended. It seems you have to be SO careful what you say, who you say it to, because it could turn into an argument. What’s interesting is we live in the UNITED States of America and yet we are so DIVIDED.So I thought I would take this podcast and talk about BECOMING UNITED. What does division do? Division separates, destroys, distorts. Think about the word DI-VISION. Division is literally the action of separating something. Unity is bringing together as one.  With unity there is clear vision that we are UNITED. With Di-vision there is a separating of vision and we are torn apart. For example, This can happen in marriage. When you get married you come together as ONE. Two separate lives brought together as one. You love one another, appreciate what’s special about each other, have butterflies when you are together. The positive emotions are high.  However, over time, if you aren’t careful, you can become more and more divided and lose appreciation for each other. DisagreementsFinancial stresses (one of the most common reasons for divorce btw)Stresses with kidsBusyness (Not spending quality time together anymore)So what seemed cute at the start is now SO ANNOYING. When you first dated he was just a free spirit who loved to dream and go with the flow. NOW, he’s a lazy bum who loses everything and doesn’t know what he wants:) Unity brings together-Has a clear appreciation for each other. Division separates-criticizes, condemns. What happens is we lose the VISION-the picture-the appreciation for something that is special. I believe with my whole heart that this country we live in is something special. Perfect? Absolutely not and as a country we have so much room to grow. But wife Nicole and our marriage isn’t perfect either-We have so much room to grow-However, that doesn’t change my deep love and appreciation for my wife. She is so special to me-I love her-I want to honor her-I want to be a better husband-I want to be UNITED more and more in our marriage. And I love and appreciate this country we live in and I hope you do too.So….with all that’s happening in our world today, all the divisiveness, all the opinions,how do we BECOME UNITED? PLANThis isn’t a political podcast. I’m not going to share any of my political beliefs. But what I want to do is share some unifying thoughts that I believe can help us BECOME MORE UNITED as people. So when we are tempted to be divided, torn apart, separated, I hope you can remember these 3 guiding truths. The first thing I believe that is so helpful is to LOOK FOR WHAT UNITES US. Here’s what I’ve learned. You will find what you are looking for. If you look for the negative, you will always find it. If you look for people to offend you, you won’t have to look very far. If you look for things to be upset about, trust me, you’ll be upset every day of your life. One of the greatest examples of this is a hummingbird and a vulture. What does a hummingbird fly around and look for? Sweet things. What does a vulture fly around and look for? Dead things. The point is, You will find whatever it is you are looking for. SO let’s look for what Unites Us. So you might wonder, what unites us? Well first of all, let me read to you the first part of our Declaration of Independence. For some of you, maybe you haven’t read this since middle school. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.So we are all created equalEndowed by our creator with certain unalienable rights. What are those?Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Each one of us has value: Every person of every race-no matter your political beliefs-religious beliefs-no matter who you are, where you are from, how dark your past is-we are all created equal. So if I start with a perspective that each person I interact with has unmatched value, was created by God, is special, unique, what happens is I begin to see that person through a different lens. I don’t see them for what bothers me about them, I see them as PEOPLE.So each one of us are equal, we are all created by God, we all want our lives to matter, we all want to pursue happiness in this life. So what we want to do to become united is we want to #1 start looking for what unites us. And the second thing I believe is so important and really builds off the first is to understand that...UNITY IS NOT THE SAME AS UNIFORMITYWe have strength in our diversity. We should celebrate that we are different-We should be thankful that everyone doesn’t think like we do-We should appreciate each other's perspectives, ideas, points of view. Unity is not the same as uniformity. We can have unity and still not all think the same. I like to say it this way:“We can walk hand in hand, without seeing eye to eye.”The challenge is so many people in our world today believe we can only walk hand in hand if we see eye to eye on everything. You may think “Wow, wouldn’t it be easier if everyone thought like me, believed like me, reasoned like me?” Oh you like that style of music-ME TOOOh you are voting for them-ME TOOUniformity may be easier but I believe something even more powerful is UNITY. I heard author and speaker Michael Kelley explain this concept: Basically he said “If everyone was exactly like you, what would it mean for you to come together? To be united? Absolutely nothing. You would never have to work at understanding anyone else, accepting anyone else, or thinking like anyone else. Everything would be just the way you want it and think it should be all the time. It’s easier, sure.”Unity is deeper and far more helpful than uniformity because it requires selflessness, sacrificing my perspective as the only perspective. The beautiful thing is the result of this is UNITY. To become more united we have to understand that unity is not the same as uniformity. We have strength in our diversity. Let’s appreciate it. And number three, If we want to become united I believe it is so important to understand:WHAT YOU FEED GROWS AND WHAT YOU STARVE DIES. Let me explain with a story:There was an old Eskimo fisherman who owned two dogs. He trained these two dogs to fight on command and on Saturday’s he’d take his two dogs to the town square to fight.  The townspeople would gather around and he would always take bets as to which dog would win the fight.Some Saturday’s the one dog would win, other weeks the other dog would win, but the fisherman always won!  Somehow, he seemed to always know which dog would win the fight.  Week after week this went on, with the fisherman taking the bets and always knowing which dog would win.  Finally, his friends asked him how he did it.They asked, “Every week you know which dog will win.  How in the world do you always know?”The old fisherman chuckled and said, “It’s pretty easy really.  You see, the week before, I feed one dog and starve the other.  The dog I feed is stronger so it wins the fight.” The one that gets fed is the one that wins.What’s the moral of the story? You have to be very careful what you put in your mind? If you feed your mind the NEWS all day long, listen to political podcasts constantly, feast on drama on social media all day, consume your life with negativity, I can promise you it’s going to have a negative impact on your life.  “I can’t believe those people did that, there all a bunch a”….(You fill in the blank.” Listen, I’m NOT saying don’t stay informed, don’t stay educated, don’t listen to those podcasts. Obviously that’s important. I know people who will say “I never watch the news or read what’s going on in the world.” You should stay informed and educated. BUT if that’s all feeding your mind, I can promise you it will have a negative impact on how you view the world and view others. What you need to do is be sure to fill your mind with positive things...LIKE THIS PODCAST:) Write down things you are grateful forHang out with people who are positive and encouraging. You become like and carry the attitude of the people you hang aroundVolunteer at an organization in your community that is making a differenceVolunteer at your churchCelebrate what’s going really well in the worldConsistently do an audit of what you are feeding your mind with. Because what you feed grows and what you starve dies. So how do we become united? We look for what unites usWe understand that unity is not the same as uniformityWe recognize what we feed grows and what we starve dies.Couple application questions:Like the hummingbird and vulture analogy, Are you looking for sweet things? Or dead things? This week start looking for things that unite you to others. How do you view someone when they have a different perspective than you? Or Different beliefs? Do you appreciate their perspective and try to understand or do you just write them off as ignorant and uneducated? What are you feeding your mind? Do an audit and begin filling your time and mind with positive things. Well I hope this was helpful to you and gave you some practical ways to BECOME united.  Since we are just getting this podcast started it would mean so much if you gave this podcast a review on ITUNES or if this is really valuable to you, I’d really appreciate you sharing this on your social media that would mean so much to me. In the word of George Elliot, It’s never too late to be what you might have been. So let’s declare “I AM BECOMING. See ya next time

Welcome to the Becoming podcast. A podcast focused on inspiring you with topics of progress and overall growth. We all are BECOMING something, so let’s become better together. My name is Zack Harris, and I’m your host today. Last podcast we started a two-part discussion on BECOMING confident. I researched confidence and here are a couple definitions I found: Confidence means feeling sure of yourself and your abilities — not in an arrogant way, but in a realistic, secure way.It's a quiet inner knowledge that you're capable.If you are like me there have been so many times I lacked confidence. ASKING Am I a good enough parent, spouse, friend? Am I making an impact in my job or my career? Or maybe you’ve lacked confidence in the way you look. I’m sure we’ve all struggled with confidence.  I believe confidence has internal components and external components. The internal dialogue within ourselves impacts our confidence more than we know and our external actions greatly impact our confidence. The last podcast talked about BECOMING INTERNALLY CONFIDENT. If you missed that podcast, make sure you check that out first. In that podcast I gave two important truths about BECOMING INTERNALLY confident. LOVE YOURSELF. Not in a self-absorbed kind of way. But viewing yourself as valuable simply because you exist. IDENTIFY AND REPLACE TOXIC THOUGHTS: We all have toxic thoughts and our lives are moving in the direction of those thoughts. I gave some real practical ways you can fight the battles in your mind. When you espouse a positive mindset, it can truly transform your life. But for this podcast, I want to talk about BECOMING EXTERNALLY CONFIDENT. With Becoming INTERNALLY confident we looked at what is happening inside the heart and mind. With Becoming EXTERNALLY confident I want to share some actual ACTIONS or HABITS that I believe have helped me become more confident. POSSIBLY CUT ALTOGETHERYou could probably google and find 100 ways to become more externally confident and many of them are fine. I mean I’m all forFun tripsGetting your hair doneBuying a new outfit Getting something new for the hobby you love and enjoy.Those are fine  But I want to give you THREE things that have helped me BECOME more externally confident in a way that lasts. Now, my list doesn’t have to be your list. Your list may be different. You may love one of mine and you may dislike some of mine. But that’s ok because they are mine. The point is for you to think about a few things you are DOING or you CAN do that will help you BECOME externally confident. Here’s my list: The first thing I do that I believe helps me become externally confident is I SAY DAILY DECLARATIONS Something powerful happens when we speak truth into our lives. I’ve added this discipline to my life and it has helped re-align myself to who I am and what I stand for: Here are a few of mine I say each day:  I am a positive leader. I will speak hope & optimism into others.  I am not a victim of circumstances. I am gifted to create, lead, and change circumstances from what they are to what they could be.I won’t give emotional energy to things I can’t control or that don’t impact eternity. I WILL embrace pressure as a privilege, look for the good, and remember why I started. I love people and believe the best about others. I am disciplined and I always bring my best. The world will be better today because I’m called to make a difference. Can you feel the energy that is built from speaking those truths. What does this do? It realigns my confidence. A car gets out of alignment from time to time and you have to go get an alignment to center the car. Our lives are the same way. Someone criticizes you and it rattles your confidenceYour facing a battle within your family and it shakes your confidenceYou have an argument with your spouse, girlfriend, boyfriend, child, or friend-shakes your confidence. You make a mistake at work, let your team down,  and your boss gets on to you. And this impacts your confidence. It’s important to know everyones confidence gets out of alignment from time to time. We all make mistakes, none of us are perfect. But we can’t let those mistakes hold us hostage. So what do we need to do? We need to realign ourselves and one of the things I do to accomplish this is through these declarations. So I want to encourage you to write down some declarations. Make a list in the notes on your phone. You may start with 2-3 and just add to them as you think of new ones. My list started small and now I have like 20 that I declare over my life that truly helps build my external confidence. For me, one of the best habits I’ve introduced into my life that’s helped me become externally confident are these daily declarations.  The second thing I do is I try and ADD VALUE TO SOMEONE EVERY DAY One of the greatest leadership teachers in our world today is John Maxwell and he says “Adding value to others is the surest way to add value to our own lives.” If you are lacking confidence. Wondering, Am I making a difference? Am I succeeding as a parent, spouse, friend, am I succeeding in my job. Here’s what you do: You add value to someone else. It's easy to focus on what I am doing and what I need to do to improve. Taking the focus off of ME actually helps me grow. When I care for others, I am a better person! This is different from what we are told success looks like in our world today.That is so good and so true. If you are lacking confidence, go add value to someone else, encourage someone, serve someone, and I can promise you it will build your confidence. Write a note of encouragement to someone who has been going through a difficult timeTake someone to lunch on your team and just speak life into them. Call someone on the phone and tell them how much you appreciate them as a friend. In your business, find ways to help your colleagues shine. Whenever possible, give credit to others for the team's success.It feels great to be a blessing to others. And here’s what happens. You are actually BECOMING confident because you are adding values to others.  John Maxwell also says this and I believe it to be so true: “People will always move towards anyone who increases them and away from others who devalue them.” “Adding value to others is the surest way to add value to our own lives.” Do you want to BECOME more confident?  Add value to someone every day. And the last thing I do that helps me become more externally confident is I TRY AND ALWAYS BRING MY BESTI’m not perfect at this but in order for me to become more confident, I always try to do everything with excellence. My day starts by waking up about 4:30am and I go to a 5am Crossfit class. It may be hard, I may be tired, but I always try and bring my best.You see excellence is not being the best, it is doing your best. There’s more in you than you even know. I like this quote from Angela Bassett “Don’t settle for average. Bring your best to the moment. Then whether it fails or succeeds, at least you know you gave all you had. We need to live the best that’s in us.”So what do we do? If you are working on a project at work, bring your best. Show initiative If you committed to do something for a friend, go the extra mileBring your best as a husband, wife, mom, dad, friend. I’m feeling convicted right now to bring my best more at home. We shouldn’t just bring our best at work. We should bring our best at home. I need to wash those dishes with excellence, give Nicole the best back massage she’s ever had.  This is so important. TO build our external confidence we want to ALWAYS BRING OUR BEST. There's a value we have at our church: There’s a book I really love called The Power of Habit. In this book the author talks about  a concept called Keystone Habits. These are small changes or habits that you introduce into your routine that unintentionally carry over into other aspects of your life.” Keystone habits create a domino effect that change every area of your life.So here’s how it’s played out in my life. I bring my best early at the gym (This is my keystone habit of bringing my best) and it creates  a domino effect throughout the rest of my day. I feel great, confident, and ready to win the day. So then I start working on a project like this podcast and I bring my best, I spend 1-1 time with someone on our team and I give them my best, I go home later in the day and I bring my best. So what is a keystone habit for you? Some of you love quiet moments early in the morning to meditate. Decide what’s best for you. Bring your best and watch it create a domino effect throughout your day. Here's a little tip for you that I’ve learned. You have to manage your energy, not just your time. I can’t bring my best ALL DAY with the same energy. What do I mean?  What I mean is energy is finite. As the day goes on, my energy weans. I get up at 4:30 in the morning. So what I do is I find ways to take breaks throughout the day, get refreshed, so when I’m doing the most important things I can BRING my best. If you want to BECOME more externally confident, it really helps to BRING YOUR BEST!So what do we do to BECOME more externally confident? SAY DAILY DECLARATIONADD VALUE TO OTHERS DAILYALWAYS BRING OUR  BESTApplication Questions for you? As you reflect on this podcast, where are you lacking in external confidence? Work lifePersonal disciplinesFamilyRelationshipsWhat daily declarations can you write that will build your confidence? Ask yourself, Who can you add value to today?  Well I hope this was helpful to you and gave you some practical ways to BECOME more confident.  Since we are just getting this podcast started it would mean so much if you gave this podcast a review on ITUNES or if this is really valuable to you, I’d really appreciate you sharing this on your social media that would mean so much to me. In the word of George Elliot, It’s never too late to be what you might have been. So let’s declare “I AM BECOMING. 

My name is Zack Harris, and I’m your host. Over the next two podcasts We’re gonna talk about BECOMING CONFIDENT. I believe confidence has internal components and external components. So I want to talk to you about BECOMING INTERNALLY CONFIDENT this time and then we’ll talk about some really practical ways next time to BECOME EXTERNALLY CONFIDENT.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I don’t know about you but...I have battled with confidence in my life.  Not feeling like I’m a good enough husband, dad, leader, a friend. A funny look-awkward comment-Weird comment-Something doesn’t go as well as I planned-Criticism by others.All of us Lack confidence the way we look! You can’t see-BEING BALDMy friend DerekI read a study that said in 2018 Americans spent 16.5 Billion in cosmetic surgeries. Whoa. Self Talk: U can do this: Don’t blow this——Act most confident (Cocky)—most insecure!3 different types of insecure people ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------People Pleasers—Yes boss, Amazing, Do 4 you—$ (Know some1?) Do you like me?? The Fishers—Pic, So blah today. Or if any of us lead something, give a presentation at work, or I’ve done this after a messageOne-Uppers— Read a chapter of the bible (two—In Hebrew.)Weekend getaway. (That ain’t nuthin) 3 month—my island. Had flu—New disease just discovered almost died—named after me.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Tragedy—how often our insecurities keep us from following dreams.Don’t interview for the job, Don’t go back to school, Don’t start a businessDon’t ask her out. Don’t even try to get in shape.So many people lack confidence. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------So as we think about BECOMING INTERNALLY CONFIDENT I want to lay a foundation for this podcast and then we’ll get more practical. I think all of us would like to BECOME more confident. Here’s what I know, if my car stops running efficiently or has mechanical issues, I can’t go to the car wash, get the car nice and clean looking, vacuum it out, spray some nice air freshener, and then expect the car to now start running well. No, obviously it has mechanical issues. I need to go to the mechanic and pop the hood. I have to look inside. “What we believe about the inside, manifests itself on the outside.”I want to address the transmission, then we can polish the car.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So how do we BECOME INTERNALLY CONFIDENT? I’m sure there are dozens of examples but I’ll focus on two that I think are incredibly important. And the first is this, to become internally confident you really need to…LOVE YOURSELF. Now listen, this isn’t some feel good, new age, motivational life coach speech. You just need to loooooove yourself. And I want to be very clear I’m not saying BE IN LOVE WITH YOURSELF in a self absorbed kind of way. We have plenty of people in our society doing this. I mean love yourself as a person that’s valuable and incredible worth. Unfortunately for so many people and maybe this is your story, you didn’t grow up with parents that spoke encouraging words to you. Maybe the exact opposite happened. You were told you weren't good enough, would never measure up, you were a failure. Or maybe you were in a relationship where you were emotionally wounded and it scarred your Internal confidence. I know it’s hard but we have to start here. We have to own our stories, our past, and say yeah maybe I struggle with internal confidence because I have a low view of myself. Now this is my inner Pastor coming out, but I want you to know you aren’t who others say you are, you are who God says you are. You are valuable, you are a masterpiece, you are a perfect design made for a purpose and a destiny,  you are fearfully and wonderfully made, hand crafted by God, you are beautiful, brilliant, YOU ARE SPECIAL.This thought actually transformed my inner confidence. Max Lucado is an author and he said “You are valuable because you exist. Not because of what you do or what you have done, but simply because you are.”Wow, think about that, internalize that. (BRING THIS HOME….)Thankfully I had parents who spoke life giving words into my life. Although I had parents who spoke LIFE into me, I’ve also had many people say things about me that wounded me and hurt me, shook me, rattled my confidence.  I’m sure you have as well. Ghandi said I love this quote “I won’t let anyone walk through my mind with their dirty feet.” I’ve had to choose to not let anyone walk through my mind with their dirty feet. We have to choose the voices we listen to. If we are going to BECOME INTERNALLY confident, we have to start here. Do you love yourself?  Do you see worth when you look in the mirror?  You may have to write a letter to yourself that reads: Dear Me,Make peace with the mirror and watch the reflection change. When you do this you’ll look in the mirror and genuinely like who you see. BECOMING INTERNALLY CONFIDENT starts with Loving yourself and And the second way to become internally confident, you need toIdentify & Replace Toxic Thoughts. Toxic; anything containing poisonous material capable of causing sickness orEven death.And if I’m honest, there have been so many times my thoughts have been toxic. This has been a battle for me. I’m going to do a presentation: “Don’t mess this up.”Then you mess up, say something wrong: “I’m an idiot.” Recently we have done Zoom meetings and I was talking to a bunch of our leaders. We had like 40 people on this zoom call, everyone is muted, staring at you, and you are talking. And my mind starts saying, “This isn’t helping anyone.” You are wasting their time.” TOXIC. Many of life's battles are either won or lost in the mind. No one talks to you more than you talk to you. Right? I was really battling anxious thoughts, discouraging feelings, and it began to overwhelm me. I knew I needed to find a solution, some actual skills to address these feelings. I’m all about prayer but I also think there are skills you can develop to help. And so my friend recommended this book to me called “Feeling Good” by Dr. David Burns. He’s a therapist and it addresses how you can diagnose your feelings, your moods, anxiety, guilt, low self-esteem, and he gives tools to help you overcome these challenges. He says, “Every bad feeling you have is the result of your distorted negative thinking.” They are described in his book as cognitive distortions. Here’s a few he lists in his book. READ A FEW FROM BOOKWhich do you struggle with? All of them? Haha This was truly transformational for me because if we are going to BECOME internally confident we must identify and reject toxic thoughts. I want to give you one practical example to combat this. He talks about it in the book and it's called the triple column technique. You have an automatic thought: I never do anything rightYou identify the cognitive distortion: OvergeneralizationThen you replace with the rational response: That’s nonsense. I do a lot of things right.Your boss calls or texts and says “I’d like to talk to you…Automatic Thought: They are going to tell me something really bad, I’m going to get fired. Cognitive distortion: Jumping to conclusionsRational response: I’m sure they just want to update me on something importantMany of us are not becoming who you want to become because you are locked in a deception of lies.So what are we going to do? We are going to LOVE OURSELVES and understand we have incredible value simply because we exist. And then we are going to IDENTIFY AND REPLACE TOXIC THOUGHTS.Our lives are moving in the direction of our strongest thoughts. We will identify those cognitive distortions and then we will replace them with truth. This isn’t easy and truly will be a daily process. But I believe if we do this we will BECOME internally confident. Couple Application Questions to consider:How do I truly view myself? Be honest. What cognitive distortions do you struggle with? This week track what you think about. Every time you think something bad, try and use the triple column technique. THOUGHT-DISTORTION-TRUTHWell I hope this was helpful to you. Since we are just getting this podcast started it would mean so much if you gave this podcast a review or if this is really valuable to you, I’d really appreciate you sharing this on your social media that would mean so much to me. In the word of George Elliot, It’s never too late to be what you might have been. So let’s declare “I AM BECOMING. AND REMEMBER, YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES, YOU WERE MEANT TO THRIVE. See ya next time

My life has changed drastically, has yours? I think we all have BECOME something we didn’t think we would have become 2 months ago. You have BECOME a virtual employee You have BECOME a homeschool teacher and a full time virtual employee which automatically means you have BECOME a professional juggler. Working, cooking, cleaning, all while you teach your kids math. Scary. Now most of us have BECOME all of these things by sheer circumstance, but what if I told you that BEFORE the world changed over night, we were all BECOMING something. I don’t know about you, but when I think of the areas in my life I want to become better at, there are significant challenges, roadblocks, that keep me from where I am to where I want to be.  What are the challenges?  Here are a few: Distraction, inability to focus on what’s most important, some struggle with getting motivated, impatience on the process of becoming, (Why am I not seeing results quicker), excuses, failure, the list could go on and on. Name your challenge. Of the list I just read, or maybe for you it’s something else. I want you to name it. Craig Groeschel, Who is the Pastor of Life.Church based out of OKC has a great quote. He says “ You can’t defeat what you don’t define.” DEFINE IT. DECLARE IT, and then YOU WILL DEFEAT IT. For me, my challenge is focusing on the most important. I’m in many ways an Entrepreneur. Started something from scratch and there are SO many plates spinning. Early on in the organization  I was jumping from thing to thing. I was working 3 days a week delivering kitchen cabinets just to help provide for my family and then in the evenings or spare time I would work on getting our church started. Starting a non-profit or any company has a ton of challenges. Meeting with people, we hosted many people at our house, training leaders, casting vision, developing a website, creating logos, we did a 4th of July parade before the church started and handed out koozies to promote the church, canvased neighborhood, raising funds, determining what equipment we needed, ordering that equipment, finding a location to meet. So many different plates just to name a few. Wow just saying that all gives me a little anxiety. hahaWhat is it for you? What is your biggest challenge? Name it. You can’t defeat what you don’t define. So in this first episode I want to give you what I call the 3 D’s of Becoming Here’s the first D. Desire: Desire says, “I want it.”Think about this: “The starting point to becoming, is desire.” -Zack HarrisWe start here because you can’t become what you don’t desire. Without desire, there is no motivation, no goal, no passion, no purpose. When I was young all I wanted was to BECOME the best basketball player I could become. I had desire and it drove me to practice a lot. I mean my friends and I had jock jams playing outside, lower that rim to 6ft maybe 5ft and emulate our best MJ dunk with our tongue sticking out. Some of you are laughing right now because you know you did the same thing.Fast forward to adulthood, I know I have a desire to be a great husband to my wife Nicole, an influential, loving father to my son Layton, to become a friend who cares, and become a leader that makes a difference in others lives. I got into ministry because I had a desire to use my musical gifts in church and lead people in worship. I studied organizational leadership in college but once I started working in a church I realized wow, I really need to grow as a leader. So I had a desire to become a better leader.  To this day I have a deep desire to become a leader who can help people know God and discover that He has a purpose for their lives. Desire led me to start a church, desire led me to grow, desire is still leading me to become.“The starting point to becoming, is desire.”My guess is if you are listening to this podcast you have desire. So what do you desire to become? You want to become a better version of yourself, become a better leader, a better spouse, friend, dad, mom, become a business owner, become better at a particular skill?  How’s your desire?I don’t think you would be listening to this if you didn’t have some desire to grow. Congratulations. “The starting point to becoming, is desire.”That is the first step. But let’s not stop there. Desire says I want it, The second D is….Discipline: Discipline says “I’m committed to it.”What is discipline?It is choosing between what I want now and what I want most.For example, I may be trying to decide between if I want to workout OR do I want to sit on my comfy cozy couch, eat oreos with milk and watch my favorite show on Netflix. What I want NOW is to sit on that comfy cozy couch. BUT, What do I want most? I want to be healthy, active, disciplined, and stay alive to watch my son grow up, so instead of choosing between what I want NOW, I choose what I want MOST and I do a crossfit workout and get my butt kicked for an hour. Can’t tell you how terrible it is at the time, but my feeling of being disciplined is really high. Discipline is choosing between what I want now and what I want most. One of the most practical examples I can give you is to do 1 thing at the start of the day that makes you feel disciplined. Make your bed, run around the block one time, floss your teeth, read your bible, write down something you are thankful for, cross something off your to do list, accomplish something early and you will feel more disciplined throughout the day. I like to think of it this way: “Desire gets you going, but discipline keeps you becoming.” -Zack HarrisDiscipline says “I’m committed to it.”The last D isDetermination: Determination says “I won’t give up.” “Determination is doing what needs to be done, even when you don’t feel like it.”  Right now I’m loving Sunday nights because on ESPN is the Michael Jordan documentary “The Last Dance.” Tells the story of the 1998 season of the Chicago bulls 6th championship. I was in middle school during this time. In the documentary before the Bulls won their first championship in 1991 they couldn’t beat the bad boy Detroit pistons. They were more physical, more mature, smarter, and a better team. But Jordan was DETERMINED to figure out how to beat them. Started trusting his team more, went to the weight room, got stronger. Listen, you are going to get knocked down, you will fail, you will lose, you will miss a day, but don’t miss two. To truly see progress you must keep going. Determination says “I won’t give up.”  I used to say this to myself “Don’t miss Monday.” I was determined to start my week off right.Determination says “I won’t give up.” So let’s recap and then I’ll give you a couple questions to contemplate or discuss with someone: We are all becoming someone or something. Who are you becoming? What challenge or obstacle is getting in your way. You can’t defeat what you don’t define. Remember the three D’s of BECOMING. Desire say’s I want it. Discipline says I’m committed to it, Determination says I won’t give up. Questions to considerWhat’s my biggest challenge or obstacle to truly becoming all that I want to be?Which do you struggle with the most? Desire? Discipline? Or Determination? Well I hope this was helpful to you. Since we are just getting this podcast started it would mean so much if you gave this podcast a review or if this is really valuable to you, I’d really appreciate you sharing this on your social media that would mean so much to me. Listen, you have what it takes, you were meant to thrive. In the word of George Elliot, It’s never too late to be what you might have been. So let’s declare “I AM BECOMING. See ya next time

This episode is a must listen for everyone: I was honoured to hear Michelle Obama speak live in London as part of her European book tour and I found her so relatable as a citizen wanting to make her community better, as a leader wanting to impact her country and the world and in other important roles as a mother, a wife, a daughter, a professional in her industry - in ever which way really.Gratitude and motivation both prevail in listening to what she shared so get stuck in, listen and enjoy... and remember, if yu like what you hear do please leave a review on iTunes.(PS - I believe I said Idaho instead of Iowa in relation to one of the stories she shared. Please excuse that error!)

The hottest memoir in the market atm is Michelle Obama's Becoming. What is the story behind the hugely popular former first lady? We talk about her girlhood and the journey to BECOMING the person she is today. There is plenty in this book to inspire, ponder and celebrate. It's also the first week of April so as usual BYTBR comes back with books you want to check out this month.

I am reviewing Rachel Hollis’ New York Times #1 Bestselling book Girl, Stop Apologizing (hint: I loved it); discussing the need to live in gratitude everyday, especially during hard seasons; and discussing Michelle Obama’s Becoming Book Tour! I hope you enjoy it!

What does Michelle Obama's 2018 memoir, "Becoming," have to offer in conversation with science fiction? Quite a lot, as it turns out. When we look at her reflections on identity-building and personal transformation, we see a perfect template for examining these same subjects in science fictional works ranging from Annalee Newitz's "Autonomous" and Martha Wells' Murderbot series to Jeff VanderMeer's "Annihilation" and Nnedi Okorafor's "Binti." And let's be honest, we both really wanted to talk about Michelle Obama's book, too! Looking for the link to the Annalee Newitz article we mention in the cast? You can find it on io9 under the headline "Six Good Habits I Learned From Being Bullied as a Geeky Kid" or at https://io9.gizmodo.com/six-good-habits-i-learned-from-being-bullied-as-a-geeky-5966749.
