Once upon a time there was a wise old man who lived in a small, remote village. Like most wise old men, he had some not so wise folks that wanted to prove him wrong. In fact, there was a young man who devised a scheme to publicly put the wise old man to shame.

He captured a small bird from a nearby tree and quickly approached the old man.

Holding the bird behind his back he challenged the old man by saying “Tell me wise old man; is the bird alive or is it dead?” His plan was flawless because if the old man said alive, he would kill it and if he said dead he would release the bird. Both scenarios would surely prove the old man a fool.

The old man confidently pondered the situation and then calmly said “The answer lies in your hands”

As corny as this story is, I’d like to think that the wise old man’s answer pertains to you and me as well . . .

The answer lies in our hands when it comes to . . .

The level and quality of the activity we choose to apply to achieve our business and personal goals.

The answer lies in our hands with regard to our attitude.

The answer lies in our hands with regard to how we choose to define our challenges and set backs.

The answer lies in our hands with regard to how we choose to treat those around us.

How we choose to balance family and business

Our faith and even . . .

Allowing ourselves to be vulnerable enough to say “Help!”

The answer lies in our hands . . . but sometimes it isn’t revealed because . . .

All along we forgot to ask ourselves a better question!

What question will you ask of yourself today?
