What's Your Word?
This week we share a great message from best-selling author and speaker Jon Gordon. Jon shares a great message about the power of a word and how it can shape your outlook and outcomes in all areas of our lives.
In December I wrote about how one word can change your life and for the past three years I have found a word to be my driving force for the year. Three years ago my word was purpose. Last year it was surrender. This year my word is serve.

I didn’t choose the word serve. It chose me.
While driving in my car in late December, I was listening to the radio and heard the word serve. It caught my attention. Then when I changed the station I heard the word serve again and knew it was my word for 2013.
After reflecting on serve I realized that it was a word, like my previous two words, that was meant to shape and mold me in new and positive ways.
I knew I was meant to approach my work and my family with a servant’s heart. With each speech I was to serve the audience by giving them everything I had. With each newsletter I wanted to focus on making a difference. At home I desired to serve my wife and family; no matter how tired I was from traveling. I was meant to put the needs of others before my own. My motto for the year became I am third.
So, I knew my word and why it was meant for me, however, from past experience I’ve learned that finding and knowing your word is one thing but living it is an entirely different matter. And a word not lived has no power in it.
For my word to generate power in my life, I had to live it. To do this I made sure to focus on my word each day. I made a poster at www.GetOneWord.com and put it on my smart phone so I see it daily. I also continue to look for ways to serve in any situation. For example when I’m flying, I help my fellow passengers by retrieving their bags from the overhead bin. On one recent flight I was helping so many passengers someone asked if I worked for the airlines.
I also make sure to remind myself when I fall short. After all it’s not easy to serve when the busyness and stress of life causes you to go into self-preservation mode and pride makes you to want to be served instead of serve.
Just the other day, after the busiest few months of my life, I was finally relaxing at home and watching sports when my wife asked me to run some errands for her. The first thought that popped into my mind was, "No, the last thing I want to do is get off the couch and run some errands," but thankfully the next thought that came to me was serve and I was reminded that I am here to serve. I may have just spoken at several big time leadership conferences but big time leadership is serving those you lead.
I hopped off the couch and helped my wife knowing that living my word is not always easy but it's necessary to become the person I am meant to be.
How about you? Did you choose a word for the year? Are you living it? Your word may not be serve but whatever your word is you can put it into action today.
One word can change your life if you are willing to live it.
In this spirit, if you have chosen your word for the year I want to encourage you to take stock in how you are living it. Write down three ways you can put you word into action each day.
If you haven’t chosen your word yet, it’s not too late. You have the rest of the year to find and live your word.
If your business needs help discovering it's word, give us a call. We're here to help!
Have a great week unless you choose otherwise.
Drago

Success Profile
This week's success profile is Vancouver Giants color commentator, Bill Wilms and BC Golf News Editor, Barry Sharpe.
After years of talking and planning they have launched a new website and radio program called, The Christian Athlete: My Story.
The new radio program airs on 10 radio stations throughout Western Canada on the Golden West Radio Network. The program is designed to interview different athletes and give you a glimpse into their lives, careers, backgrounds and share their stories about their lives and faiths.
Being a Christian and an ex-hockey player I found Bill and Barry's project very inspiring and I hope you will enjoy listening to the different stories of some very well-known athletes.
Here is a great interview with Vancouver Canucks player - Dan Hamhuis
