Justin Moore's Song - If Heaven Wasn't So Far Away
Top of the day to all of you, and Happy Friday!
For all of you who love country music like me, you will enjoy this post and agree with me that "its real life stuff", not just sad songs talking about losing your wife, dog, truck broke down, etc.
Since we are heading into the weekend and many of you will be spending time with your friends and family like me, I thought we should take a look at how genius Justin Moore was when he wrote his recent song "If Heaven Wasn't So Far Away." Its such a simple song, but really makes you think. You can listen to the song right now by going to the bottom of this post and click on "Listen to the song by clicking on this link."
In the song he talks about how it would be if he could go and visit people he lost in heaven. He talks about how he would pack up his kids and take them for the day to introduce them to their grandfather, and how losing loved ones wouldn't be so hard to take.
The message I got from the song was that we take for granted the time we have to spend with people we love or to do the things that make us happy - and ultimately lasting memories. Once you lose something, you start to miss it. That's how it always happens.
The blog message is:
Its way to easy to get caught up in the day to day grind and forget just how precious life is. Dedicating time to literally put everything aside and just focus on quality time with the people you love or doing the things that make you happy, is critical. Especially us champions that always attempt to multi-task and want to get a hundred things done in a day. What we end up doing is taking the family/personal time and juggle it while doing other things concurrently. Then we lose out on spending that true quality time we need, to stay balanced in life.
Look at it like this, we will turn our phones off when we go into work or a meeting - with full intent to give our job its full attention without disruption. The same concept of giving personal/family time its full attention without disruption, should be the same.
Kicker note: Living a balanced life. A balanced life means something different to each individual. The balance comes from within and is really about being aligned with yourself. My good friend Shaun is great at this and I continuously admire his ability to stay aligned with himself. Its tough!!
Take this weekend to spend some personal and/or family time; focus on the quality and with as little disruption as possible. You owe it to yourself!!!
Have a great weekend and make some memories!!!
I will be spending some personal time myself, until Monday. My next post will be on Monday and something to look forward to - all of you will love it!

What is Value? How can it help you succeed?
Definitions of Value:
- Relative worth, merit, or importance
- To consider with respect to worth, excellence, usefulness, or importance
- To regard or esteem highly
When I started focusing on what it takes to be successful in life and business, the first thing that came to mind was a simple question: "How do you measure success"? Well....since success is relative to each of our personal beliefs and goals, I began to realize that "Value" was my focus to become successful. To me, the meaning of value is very powerful and building it is the essence of my approach to being a champion in life and business.
If you focus on "building value in life and business," your goals will become more defined and specific approaches can be created that will ultimately lead to success.
The first and most important step is to understand what it is that an individual or company values. Obviously each and every situation is different, and what one person/company values might not be the same as the other - however, understanding each of them will allow you to prepare for "Building Value" and consequently increase your importance, relative worth, merit, level of excellence, usefulness, etc.
When you are of value to someone, a group, a friend or a business - you are putting yourself in a situation to win a success and accomplish a goal. Whether you are in a business facing situation trying to win a contract, going to an interview attempting to win employment or establishing a desired friendship - the bottomline is that everyone looks for value, and it happens sub-consciously most of the time.
I have found that when I "Build Value" with people and/or my clients, the outcomes are consistently favorable. At the stage of winning a success, It not only becomes a success for me because I got what I want, but a success for everyone because I was able to connect to "what they value" and offer something just as favorable for them. When outcomes are not what I had wished to see, I either failed to build value effectively or I mis-read what it is that they truly value.
I am starting to realize that not everyone or everything is a fit.....and that's OK. However, this philosophy has been very helpful in leveraging my personal and business goals and ultimately has been the vehicle to many of my successes.
Kicker note: Don't forget that "Value" changes; and what was once valued might not be anymore. So we inherit the responsibility to always reassess and monitor where the value is.
