/2 Comments/in /by

The First Pillar: Focus, helps us define a reason to move forward. The Second Pillar: Discipline, is the tool we use to maintain integrity in the moment. But to create or sustain forward momentum, it takes more than just focus and discipline. It takes the ability to focus and the application of discipline over many days, weeks, months, or even years.

What’s with the Name?

The name Response-Able Consulting reflects the idea that no matter what happens to us in life — we are Able to choose our Response. By owning that reality and by doing that effectively, we are responsible or response-able

Mind you, we can’t control WHAT happens to us. We can’t even control our brain’s own auto-response mechanism. We can—if we choose to—control HOW WE RESPOND to what happens to us. Big difference.

If you’re going to choose, why not make a more deliberate, intentional, meaningful choice?

What is Intention?

Intention has to do with setting a vision, a focus, or a goal and making conscious deliberate decisions that lead you closer to that goal.

Are you making decisions that generate the results you want? If not, what kind of life are you creating? Is it all work and no play? Are you successful but not happy? Is your life serving as an example or as a warning to others?

Make a decision to live deliberately, intentionally. Be response-able.
