Warrior Coaching
Train Hard. Serve Big. Love Large. Live Out Loud.

I hope that a few more of you are crying during your reports this week. Seriously, as you tell your story of a child’s life restored through a chiropractic adjustment, you should have tears of joy for that story, and you should have tears of sorrow for all the children in your town that are living with subluxation and an impaired nerve system.  It’s just a really good gut check on where your mind is at, when you are presenting your report, or at any given time through out the day: are you thinking about yourself or about them?

I’m thankful for the Immanuel joy stories you are sharing with me! So many of you have shared incredible stories of how God is present in your lives and how listening to Him, and taking action brings greater joy. These stories bring even more joy when you share them with others. Keep sending them in. It’s never a bad idea to talk about what God is doing in your life. You can send them directly to me at yurij.warrior@gmail.com. As I mentioned, with your permission I will share some of them with our Warrior community in the near future.

Hope everyone is working hard at doing your joy exercises and staying joyful!
By now you should have a week and a half of X's and O's across the top of your Warrior week in your Warrior Way 90Day. I have been getting lots of feedback and it looks like many of you are engaging in the exercise and gaining some traction. Being consistent and patient is the key. Do not get discouraged if you fall back into some of your old emotions like anger, shame, guilt etc. Old emotions will creep in because we literally have to make new neural connections in the brain to change our state. This takes time but is worth the effort.

Thanks to all the Warriors, teams, families, and guests that attended Leadership Summit 2014!  Thank you for your commitment to train, to improve yourself, and to better serve the people that you lead.  I wanted to clarify your homework from my Joy Project talk. On my last slide I encouraged you to take up two activities to create and build joy in your lives. The second one was self explanatory, in that it asked you to share a meal with your family, and share stories about what God was doing in your lives that day or that week, and also to have your patients share their testimonies.

Is morning time causing some facet joint irritation? Is walking in your new name flaring up your sciatica? Crazy questions, but hear me out. When we are learning to hear from God and have a deep desire to follow His lead, it can sometimes lead to a striving or working to please God. Have you ever gotten up for your morning time because you “had to” not because you “wanted to”? Has it ever happened to you where you were checking stuff off your morning time list; pray (check), worship (check), read the Bible (check), journal (check), and run (check, check!) just to keep God happy and to avoid being hit by lightning?

I hope you have been thinking and praying about last week’s Wisdom as we get closer to Camp. Keep asking God to show you how you are to be working on your sanctification and transformation with the goal being a more and more Christ-like character. Again, it is important to understand that this is not some kind of end goal that you can check off your to do list, but rather a daily commitment to die to self and surrender to the Holy Spirit.  It's a daily process over a lifetime.  

How BIG should you go?  Should your goal be to see 1000 per week? I think that reasonably your potential to serve is much higher than you think it is. You can go much bigger than you think you can, but you cloud how you think about what 500, 1000, 1500 would feel like by projecting your current business on the goal. If you are running around like a chicken with it’s head cut off at 200 per week, or whatever your number is currently, how will you possibly stop the hemorrhaging out of the top of your neck if you doubled or tripled your volume?

Thanks for your feedback on the Body Odor Wisdom.  Apparently a number of you were aware that there is a little bit of a stench around you! Self awareness is critical to success.

Continuing with the PO and SO theme, I want to add some insight into your journey towards changing your heart. I was reviewing the Camp 2 booklet this morning and I was reminded that we all tend to vacillate between PO and SO depending on the moment. In Camp 2 we see that God’s love, flowing out as a clear stream from a heart of service, can become overgrown with weeds and the love can become clogged up, quickly becoming a stagnant, rotting pool of swamp water. Hosea gives the analogy of a fallow field. A once fruitful field that yielded a mighty harvest becomes fallow ground.

Do you suffer from a bad case of BO? Oops, I meant PO!  PO and BO are very similar in one specific way. Everyone around you knows you have it, but you go around totally oblivious to the fact that you stink.  PO stands for Performance Orientation. 

Hope all of you are continuing to stay focused though the weeks of the summer.  Once again, I want to reinforce how important it is to keep up with your morning time and your physical training.  The other big piece to the puzzle is doing your vision time, as Ed discussed in detail in Atlanta.  The feedback I am getting is that the vision time is more fruitful with the focus points that Ed taught.  Let’s not forget the WW90Day as well.

So there you have it, simple: morning time, physical training, vision time, and WW90Day.  Do that, and you will rock the summer and fly into the fall.
