Maybe it’s time for you to get motivated. The worst mistake you can make is complacency. God wants growth and it cannot happen without movement.

So quit the binge watching and pick up a book. Get off the couch and into the saddle. Try out a new hobby. Make a road trip to Kiowa, CO and attend a Sunday service in person and meet Kevin and the rest of the people that make up Save the Cowboy. Learn to rope or teach someone else how to. Pick up your Bible and read it—don’t worry about understanding everything, read until you understand something. (The main things are the plain things and the plain things are the main things.)

A horse never got trained while standing in a stall. You won’t either.

Learn to be present in the present...that’s where God is.

We miss so much by not being able to be present in the present. The blessings of what we have are overshadowed by the things that we want. The magic of our kids is diminished by us that can’t wait for them to get through this phase. We are oblivious to our growth because we want things the way they used to be.

3 Cowboy Tips for Being Present in the Present

1. Pay attention
Just because it’s not your turn to rope doesn’t mean you can’t learn something, be supportive, or be able to help if someone gets in a jam.

2. Put the phones away
My friend Robert refuses to carry a cell phone. He leaves it in his truck turned off. He’s always present.

3. Give up on the illusion of control
You can’t change the past. There is little you can do about how long quarantines will last. You cannot keep people from buying all the crapper paper. You are only in control of you, but most people can’t even do that because they’re so busy griping, complaining, and bad mouthing what everyone else is doing. All of these are symptoms of an attempt to control. If you want to control something, start with you...and bring a sack lunch.

So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today. Matthew 6:34

One of the trickiest things to do in an age of unlimited connectivity is to mind your own business.

The results of those who do know how to mind their own business are strength, wisdom, and peace of mind.

But how can we get there?

You learn these simple, but not easy, steps to practice:

1. Don't offer anyone advice that they didn't ask for.
We always want to help, but sometimes the best advice you can give is nothing at all. No matter how bad you want to give advice, the truth is that unasked for advice is seldom wanted or followed. It also leads to gossip that is unintended or unnecessary.

Make it your goal to live a quiet life, minding your own business and working with your hands, just as we instructed you before. -1 Thessalonians 4:11

2. Learn to just listen...with boundaries.
Never, I mean never, entertain conversation that includes someone else without them being there. While this is simple common sense, that doesn't mean it is easy. If someone needs to talk (which means you need to listen), allow them to tell you how they are feeling, not what someone else did to them. A simple phrase such as, "Don't tell me what someone else did, tell me how you feel."

Fire goes out without wood, and quarrels disappear when gossip stops. -Proverbs 26:20

3. Keep your business to yourself.
Minding your own business also means keeping your business to yourself. Not everyone needs to know the gory details of your life. Once again, if you need to talk to someone, only tell them what you are feeling or going through. You don't have to tell them why.

A gossip goes around telling secrets, but those who are trustworthy can keep a confidence. - Proverbs 11:13

Ownership isn’t optional. It’s foundational!

Growth happens when we take ownership of our responsibilities, especially the ones that are uncomfortable.

Accountability isn’t about blame. It’s about clarity. It defines expectations, sharpens performance, and builds trust over time.

When individuals own their role, teams move forward with purpose and the organization whether family or business grows stronger because of it. 🤘🤘
