Monday Check-In
This is for high achievers only.
One of the keys to mentorship is this:
The mentee has to learn to mirror the energy of the mentor.
I consider myself a high-capacity, high-achieving, high-expectation kind of person. I don’t know about you, but I want to be great.
If you’re comfortable being average…
If you’re comfortable doing the bare minimum…
If you’re comfortable settling…
I’m probably going to annoy you in this next season.
Because I want to be surrounded by people who are hungry. People who stretch themselves. People who embrace discipline. People who refuse to waste their potential.
Greatness doesn’t come from wishing. It comes from capacity.
As we get older, people try to convince us to lower our expectations. They tell us to be “realistic.” To stop dreaming so big.
I don’t believe that’s the voice of God.
I believe the Lord calls people to climb mountains, solve impossible problems, build things that outlive them, and reveal His glory through lives of excellence.
But here’s the real question: Is that actually what you want?
Many people don’t quit because they lack talent.
They quit because they can’t handle the pressure.
The criticism.
The rejection.
The consistency.
The long hours.
The sacrifice.
The responsibility that greatness requires.
But that’s not who we are.
We are called to pursue excellence, to steward our gifts faithfully, and to glorify God with everything He’s placed in our hands.
So here’s your Monday challenge:
What do you want to become great at?
What has God placed inside of you that, if fully developed, could make the world better?
Drop it in the comments.
Let’s build something that matters.
