SYSTEMS THINKING

Every system has a purpose within a larger system. All of a system’s parts must be present for the

system to carry out its purpose optimally. A system’s parts must be arranged in a specific way

for the system to carry out its purpose. Systems change in response to feedback. System maintain their stability by making

adjustments based on feedback.

CONTRIBUTION

Can I contribute? Add value to your organization. People only pay for what has value. Be as specific as possible in terms of function. Be yourself, and naturally, you will flow out and

contribute to others.

EXCELLENCE

Can I excel? Excellence in the flesh. Everyone is excellent at something. Look at where you have excelled and can potentially

excel. No one can do better what you were designed to do

best. Good is the enemy Great.

NATURAL ABILITY

Does the activity involve my natural ability? Winners focus, losers spray. Not all gifts were meant to be developed in the same

intensity and depth. Find your area of gifting in any situation.

TURN-ON

Does it turn me on? Do not underestimate the power of fun in determining

the quality of one’s life or one’s leadership. “Don’t ask yourself what the world needs. Instead, ask

yourself what makes you come alive and go do that. Because what the world needs is a person who has come alive.” – John Eldredge, Wild at Heart

Attitude, not aptitude, determines your altitude.

SPIRIT-LEADING

Is the Spirit within me leading me to accept this opportunity?

If you feel that you have been in the wrong direction and are being led to move into a better way, don’t simply ignore that feeling because you have gone so far.

Choose a decision of significance, not just of success.

C.E.N.T.S. Contribution (Can I Contribute?) Excellence (Can I Excel?) Natural Ability (Does it Involve My Natural Ability/ies?) Turn-on (Does the Idea of Doing it Turn Me On?) Spirit-Leading (Is the Spirit within me leading me to accept

this Opportunity?)

BOTTOMLINES

Time can’t be managed. Only priorities. Count all your time as time to be used and make every

attempt to get satisfaction out of every moment. Keep paper or a calendar with you to jot down the

things you have to do or notes to yourself. Do first things first. Have confidence in yourself and in your judgment of

priorities and stick to them no matter what. Concentrate on one thing at a time. Delegate responsibilities whenever possible. Get a life! Have fun!
