Show Notes
Key Point: We have the ability create positive change.
The idea is that if you can prepare change and you can indeed control your reaction to change, then it stands to reason, we can intentionally create change, positive change with wisdom and purpose. Obviously we can not control or change everything in world, but we actually do have influence over a lot of things in life.
Intentional Change at Home
Environment Ideas
Spend time together, maybe less “big” vacations and more “day” trips. Eat dinner together as a family. The list is virtually endless. Just pick a few that works for your family and go do it.
More slack time. In the big picture, there’s really not a need to press the kids so hard that every second of there life is filled with activities.
Attitude Ideas
Do things to get you into a better mood. Example of the “worry tree”.

Intentional Change in the Community
We business owners do have a responsibility to our local community. There are volunteer firemen, volunteer coaches, volunteer kid readers, library volunteers, etc. Why not a volunteer business person? I’m not talking devoting, like, 15 hours a week, but being creative in a few high impact ways over the year.
