Big Picture Thinking Part 1

.....IT IS A MESS.....

Now, when you read that you probebly see a negitive statement.

Its not fair though. Its like walking in on the middle of a conversation and walking away before its over and all you heard was "it is a mess".

Big picture thinking is more that that.

If you are dealing with a product or a person, then 'big picture thinking" is the biggest ingredient.

Here are three things to consider when being a "Big Picture Thinker".

1. What happened before you got there.

2. What is happening now.

3. What do those facts predict about the possible future results.

Here is another look at .....IT WAS A MESS.....

When we came home, our dog had drug a trash bag out to the yard. It was a mess! So we walked outside and cleaned it up and secured the trash in its proper place.

If you are dealing with people, this theory is a must! You MUST be a big picture thinker!

The Edge

The edge is scary. It is lonely. It is a place that causes you to really think! Yea, its a place that is away from the middle ground. That place that if you fall down you just hit the ground. On the edge, if you fall you are not gonna hit the ground for a while!

I love coming from the edge of thought and inviting someone to come with me. To that shift in culture. That thing that makes you really challenge your self, question things and cause you to really pray. Yes, I am wired differently, but - like Mark Batterson from NCC Church in DC says, "Chase the Lion".

Try this, go to a tall building and go to the roof of that tall building and set on the edge of the roof of that tall building. Your heart will jump, you will respect the edge and you will see a new perspective than you can from the ground.

From the edge you can dream, target and see what it is from a panoramic view what God wants you to conquer next.

Come on, come with me to the edge and hang on tight and see what else there is to do in this thing called life.

Next? I wanna skydive off the edge! Wanna come? Just a Thought.....
