Time to Raise The Bar

I'm at Men's Frat this morning, and the host (Clair Hoover) reads off this one guys 10 Key Moves that he is determined to make.  Here they are:

1. I will strive for perfection, but accept that I cannot achieve it.
2. I will protect the hearts of those I love.  Even if they do not understand my intentions.
3. I will put others above myself, but not neglect myself.
4. I will strive to fill the emptiness that I sometimes feel, but only with things that nurture me.
5. I will continue to foster my longtime friendships and look to grow deeper with my newest ones.
6. I will diligently fight the negativity in my life that pulls me down.  I will build in my life to elevate and not tear down.
7. I will forgive myself for my mistakes, but learn via those lessons and experiences.
8. I will continue to ask God to use me.  To make his plan for my life the longing of my heart and for the strength and courage to follow.
9. I will continue to strive to keep my eyes focused on God.  To look to him and not my own feet.  To trust that he will guild my feet around or over any obstacle.
10. If I should fall God will pick me up.  I will think of Peter walking on the water.  I shall not fear.

I make these promises to myself.  You are my witnesses.  I am being called up.

I don't know about you, but that challenges me.  Let it challenge you today!
