Purpose + Personal Strength + Passion = Destiny
Most everyone born in the later half of the 20th Century is familiar with the 1981 Oscar-winning film Chariots of Fire (Best Picture, Best Original Music Score, Best Original Screenplay, Best Costume Design + 3 additional nominations), featuring the story of runner Eric Liddell. The Olympic gold medal recipient has influenced many following his days on the track, leaving various quotes and statements in his interviews while also demonstrating them in his life of service. One such statement has proven to be a North Star, of sorts, for me, and the longer I work with industry professionals it proves itself over and over. Liddell said, “I believe God made me for a purpose, but he also made me fast! And when I run I feel his pleasure.”
Building a Culture of Winning
I really love the statement by Brendan Suhr, “Culture is simply an outcome of people’s behavior.” So basic. So true! Whether it is business or your personal life, what you choose to do now establishes a reference point and a pattern from which future actions will be made.
Thoughts on “The Power of ‘Doing'” by Phil Cooke
Phil Cooke posted this short article on his blog today, and I thought to share it. Find it here: http://www.philcooke.com/do_something. I like much of what Cooke says, but I’d up that another notch for the Christian wanting to make an impact on his culture using film and video.
