John Ortberg, a very creative and insightful guy, gave a great talk recently titled The Secret to Making Great Decisions.  I encourage you to listen to it, but here are some of John's tips to spark your Friday 3strands accountability:

• It's not what you do, it's who you become.
• Very often God's will for your life is "I want you to decide".
• We make terrible decisions when we are exhausted and/or afraid.
• The most important decisions we make are the ones we hardly even realize we are making...  We make them without considering what type of person we want to be.
• The battle for wisdom is never over.
• Are you a decide-a-phobic?  This is a person who avoids making important decisions.

I suggest that your process for making great decisions, and becoming the person you truly want to be, comes back to your 3strands:

1. Is your Systematic Leadership giving you the ability to do what you do best and fully empowering your employees to take ownership for results?
2. Are you making decisions based on a clearly defined vision of Meaningful Work - job activities that are personally fulfilling to you?
3. How well are you balancing Sincere Gratitude for all that you have with all that you want?

It is Friday.  ACCOUNTABILITY TIME!  

1. How are you doing on your 3strands this week?
2. Is the work remaining to complete this week's 3strands scheduled in your calendar so you can work uninterrupted?
3. Have you scheduled your Sanctuary time later today or over the weekend for personal accountability and focus?

Stay on track.
