It was a big help for me to step back, and think in broad terms. So here we go…2010.

…think of how you want to be successful in 2010. Then, try to think in even broader terms. Extrapolate on the broader terms, and find one word to hang the idea on. -Chris Brogan

Healthy | Flexible | Inspire

Healthy
Healthy is such an over used word in my opinion. Seams like every other commercial this time of year is some type of weight loss program, or a silly piece of equipment that makes promises that it will never deliver. However, to me, healthy has nothing to do with this silliness. Healthy for me will be the big 3…mind, body, and spirit. Might sound a bit mystical or new age…but it is not. I am not going to go in to much detail here…but some examples look like: Mind- being where I am. Body- continue cycling, and a healthy lifestyle that treats the body as a temple. Spirit- feeding on God’s Word regularly…YouVersion reading plans will be a part of this.

Flexible
This is a bit more challenging to explain…but I will give it a quick try. I expect and anticipate big things in 2010, and have more faith than ever that God is going to deliver beyond my imagination. Scripture says “Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.” – Eph 3:20 Flexible comes in because I have a gut feeling that this is going to come in a way that I am not expecting…and frankly one that is going to stretch me, challenge me and push me like I have never been before.  I am praying for flexibility in “my plans” so I can give them up for “His plans”.

Inspire
As I become more and more self aware of who I am: my strengths, weaknesses, talents, gifts and bag-o-sucks* I have realized that my gift of leadership is best used via inspiring others. I do not take this lightly, I believe God holds us accountable for stewarding the gifts and talents he blesses us with. So this year I will spend more time focusing on leading through inspiration…and praying God shows great favor and is glorified in it all.

Ok, now it is your turn…share your 3 goal words!

* (Define bag-o-sucks= that bag we carry around with us that is full of the things we really suck at.)

If you want to try the process, it works something like this: think of how you want to be successful in 2009. Then, try to think in even broader terms. Extrapolate on the broader terms, and find one word to hang the idea on. -Chris Brogan

So here we go:

Fun
I am married to an amazing woman, that loves to have fun, I have 2 wonderful girls that are 7 and 4 and they love to play and have fun…As I look back on 2008 I really think I missed out on having as much fun as I should. Of course work is busy, live is hectic, but there is no excuse to not have fun! In 2009 I am committed to having more fun with my 3 girls!

Global
Global is a word that I use at work and a home a lot. At LifeChurch.tv we are really focused on global ministry and trying to reach all ends of the Earth. And at home we talk often of global for a lot of reasons…but mainly because we feel like the Storch Family will be moving internationally in the future. I use future because I have no idea how, or when or even why…but I feel pretty sure it is in God’s plan for us. The word Global is also critical for me in 2009 because my world view is so, so SMALL! My goal in 2009 is our minds will be opened, and our world view will be stretched!

Leadership
Everything. Everything. Everything…rises and falls on leadership! EVERYTHING! I am blessed with an amazing family, an amazing job, and an team of all-stars at work. All of these need my leadership! No, all of these DEMAND my leadership. Even more, all of these will rise and fall based on my leadership. Looking back on 2008 I am sad to say, leadership took a bit of a back seat. My goal is to see my leadership stretched, challenged, and for it to grow well beyond my own abilities while God is glorified.

Ok, your turn. Share Your Three Words

You might want to stop by and see what all the talk is about. You could even comment if you like. Bottom line….the look, feel, and layout is much more “where I am right now”.

I love Twitter!

]]> http://www.terrystorch.com/personal/good-good-stuff/feed/ 2 Foo Fighters vs. John McCain http://www.terrystorch.com/personal/foo-fighters-vs-john-mccain/ http://www.terrystorch.com/personal/foo-fighters-vs-john-mccain/#comments Wed, 30 Jan 2008 14:52:00 +0000 Terry Storch http://www.terrystorch.com/personal/foo-fighters-vs-john-mccain/ So, if you did not know I was suppose to go to the Foo Fighters show last night in OKC. Well, the show was canceled/rescheduled due to illness. Oh my, I was in morning for hours! But quickly I redirected my attention to the Florida primary. I was excited…

Well, Florida came and went…and I sure wish that the Foo Fighters show was not canceled. Florida frankly stunk. The dems did not count, and the repubs voted for McCain. Oh my….

Anyway some very interesting things are brewing:

John Edwards is dropping out. (Bill Clinton is on the phone with him promising him the world right now!)

McCain wins Florida, and in my prediction seals the Republican Nomination.

Foo Fighers vs. John McCain….I vote for Foo…. Grohl and Hawkins would make a great Indi ticket. :)

But on a serious note, pay very close attention to Edwards…his endorsement will be HUGE! I don’t think it would be over for Hillary if Edwards swings to Obama…but there is no doubt that if Edwards jumped on the Clinton machine…The Big O would be done. I can not see Edwards supporting Hillary..but I have been wrong most of the time so far.

Tiger, what the heck are you thinking? There is no amount of money that they could pay you for you to say this. And there is no way, no way that Elin rides in a Buick.

The angle in which you look at the new Honda Accord…it might look a little like a popular German sedan. Maybe the angle of how you take pictures of yourself. Some of you might like the angle from the left…maybe the right. Or…maybe the angle from above is the best. How about those crazy pictures that if you look at them just the right way, or at the right angle you see something that you don’t see from other angles. (I personally NEVER see that stupid thing!)

Today I had an opportunity to see life from a different angle. I would like to take a moment and thank my friend Paul for allowing me to adjust my angle for a few hours and see life a little differently. See, Paul is homeless and in America without a green card. That being the case, he still has an a amazing story, and God is doing amazing things through Paul. Today I was able to adjust my perspective a bit, and see life from a different angle…and it was amazing and very eye opening.

The reality is friends….we look at life from a vary, vary narrow angle. It is times like today, with Paul that I am able to realize that my angle, and perspective on life is ridiculously narrow. You see, everything that I do, say and see is from my ridiculously narrow angle. The way I look a politics, the way I look at my family, and most of all, the way I look at God. The Reality of Angles! I am really trying to widen mine…how about you?
