Thanks for your feedback Rex.

Thanks John.

Thanks MJ. I agree. THIS is often the result of THAT. Something from their past, internal issues, etc. Complaints aren't all bad... it's just mindless complaining that is. If and when we take a stand on it, we can not only help ourselves and our organizations but we can also help those complainers perhaps move past those issues that are causing them to be negative in the first place. Not an easy task but if we care about our teams and our future, it's worth the investment.

Thanks Lisa. I thank God daily (multiple times per day) for how amazing He is. That's a big part of anti-stress too. Trusting God and knowing that He has a plan.

Agreed. When we don't have perspective it's easy to get stressed about things that don't really matter.

Indeed. The answer to that question tells us a lot about our motives.

Powerful insights in this one Ron. Love it.

Indeed. Finding that sweet spot is the goal. Thanks for stopping by Graham.

Thanks Artie. Being honest with ourselves on our own motives is sometimes tricky but absolutely needed if we are to be truly effective.

Yeah, it's the tension that most who are creating a platform face. I think the best thing is to recognize it, stay aware of it, and be intentional about it. Personally, I'd rather have 100 sold our fans who really are behind the message than 500 who aren't.
