Documenting a Journey of Change: My Life as a Community Leader

Life is a complex tapestry woven with dreams, responsibilities, and the pursuit of purpose. Each day presents new opportunities to grow, connect, and make a difference. As I navigate my own journey, I strive to document the lessons learned, the challenges faced, and the victories celebrated. This blog reflects my mission to create change within our society while balancing my roles as a husband, father, and community member.

Morning Reflections: Finding Peace Amidst Chaos

Every day begins with the promise of new possibilities. My mornings start with a daily devotional, a practice that grounds me and sets the tone for the day ahead. Recently, I reflected on a powerful message that emphasized the importance of peace in our lives. The notion that I can choose my thoughts and yield my anxieties to a higher power resonates deeply with me.

The world around us is filled with turmoil and uncertainty. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the weight of our worries. However, embracing the belief that there is a divine plan gives me peace. I am reminded that my life is part of something greater, and as I focus on this truth, I can navigate challenges with confidence.

The Gift of Peace

In my devotional, I was reminded that “peace cannot coexist” with anxiety. This profound statement encourages me to actively choose peace. It’s a daily practice of letting go of fear and trusting in a higher purpose. I strive to lift my worries and place them at the feet of something greater than myself.

Each day, I remind myself that I am a tool in a larger plan. My role is to show up, be present, and contribute positively to the world. As I embrace this mindset, I find that I can approach challenges with a calm heart and an open mind.

Building Connections: My Work at Secure Pacific

Work is an essential aspect of my life. Currently, I am employed at Secure Pacific, where I help individuals and businesses enhance their security systems. My role allows me to connect with various people, understand their needs, and provide solutions that foster safety and peace of mind.

Throughout my workday, I engage in numerous calls and meetings. Each interaction is an opportunity to build relationships and create a sense of community. I believe that by helping others feel secure, I contribute to a more stable and peaceful environment.

Networking and Business Development

Networking is a crucial component of my professional journey. I’ve divided my workweek into specific territories to maximize my outreach. For instance, Mondays and Tuesdays are dedicated to the Boise area, while Wednesdays focus on Meridian. Thursdays are spent in Eagle and Star, and Fridays take me to Caldwell and Middleton.

• Monday & Tuesday: Boise Area

• Wednesday: Meridian Area

• Thursday: Eagle and Star

• Friday: Caldwell and Middleton

This structured approach allows me to invest my time effectively over the next decade. I aim to build businesses, foster relationships, and help as many people as possible along the way. Each day is a step toward a brighter future, both for myself and for those I serve.

Life as a Team Sport

I firmly believe that life is a team sport. We are all in this together, and each of us has a role to play in creating positive change. Whether through small acts of kindness or larger initiatives, we can collectively make the world a better place.

In my journey, I strive to inspire others to embrace this mindset. By encouraging those around me to contribute their unique talents and perspectives, we can create a ripple effect of positivity and progress. The more we collaborate, the stronger our impact becomes.

Sharing Lessons and Experiences

As I document my journey, I share not only my successes but also my failures. Each experience offers valuable lessons that contribute to personal growth. I invite others to learn from my journey, understanding that setbacks are part of the process.

In sharing my story, I hope to foster a sense of community and support. We can learn from one another, encouraging each other to rise above challenges and strive for greatness. Together, we can navigate the complexities of life with resilience and grace.

Embracing Change and Growth

Change is a constant in our lives, and embracing it is essential for growth. As I continue my journey, I remain open to new opportunities and experiences. Each day holds the potential for transformation, and I am committed to making the most of it.

Whether through my professional endeavors or personal pursuits, I am dedicated to creating a positive impact. I encourage others to reflect on their own journeys and consider how they can contribute to the greater good. Together, we can foster an environment of support and encouragement.

Documenting My Journey

This blog serves as a record of my experiences, thoughts, and aspirations. It’s a space where I can share my journey with others, inviting them to join me on this path of discovery. I believe that by documenting my life, I can inspire others to reflect on their own journeys and consider how they can make a difference.

As I navigate the complexities of life, I remain committed to my mission. I aim to empower others through my words and actions, creating a community of change-makers. Each entry is an invitation to explore the possibilities we hold within ourselves.

Good morning. Good morning. Good morning.

It is August 8, 2024. It is about 06:00 a.m. on a Thursday morning.

I am getting ready, doing my daily devotional, and then I'm gonna head out, drive some uber for a little bit, head to the office, get some work done. I've got a couple calls coming up, and we are gonna have a great day. So let's dive into the devotional again.

We're reading from I hear his whisper. So. I am the prince of peace.

I am the prince of peace. I rule and reign over stress and turmoil. When you set me as the king over your every thought, I hold everything together in perfect harmony.

When you bow before me and yield to me, mind, soul, and body, anxiety and peace cannot coexist through your busy mind unwittingly pushes me away. I know your heart yearns for me. Don't fret, my beloved.

I always respond to hearts that reach for me. Exalt my presence by lifting me higher than the cares that plague your mind. You are powerful enough to choose what you think about.

Offer me the sacrifice of praise by placing your cares on the altar. Give them to me. Lay your concerns at the feet of my majesty.

Make them submit to the glory that rushes through your veins. Say my name. Sing your songs of love.

Sink deep into the stillness of my peace. Leave every single care in my hands. Name each one of you must.

Name each one. If you must, then trust me to take care of them. Let me be the only thought that consumes you.

I leave the gift of peace with you, my peace. Not the kind of frail peace given by the world, but my perfect peace. Don't yield to fear or be troubled in your hearts.

Instead, be courageous. John, 1427. That's an incredibly powerful message, because at the end of the day, there are so many things weighing on all of our minds.

If you look around the world we live in right now, there. It's on fire. There are so many worries and concerns.

There are so many things to think about and be afraid of. But in the end, God's hands are taking care of all of it. God? I believe.

If you believe God has a plan for our lives, if you believe God has a plan for the future, you must believe he has a plan, the future of your future, because he already had a plan for your past. And so whatever happens will happen. And it's according to his plan, not your plan.

And so that. That brings me a lot of peace. Understanding that my plan is irrelevant.

It is his plan. I am just a mere tool in his tool chest. And I walk according to how he has designed my life to be walked.

So that is how I look at every day. I live in complete and utter peace, no matter what happens, because I know his plan is my plan. My plan is to follow him wherever he may lead, wherever he may take me.

And so it's my job just to show up. I hope you guys have a great day today. I hope you go out, put a smile on someone's face and figure out how can you be the change that the world needs.

Because together we can make the world a better place. Not that it isn't great already, but it can always be better. With that said, we'll talk to you all soon.

Life is a journey and we are all in it together. On this journey, our goal is to support and protect as many people as we can. If you believe we can be the change that we need in society, I invite you to follow the life with Justin, Stephen, Joe, as we live life to do that change.

All right, I am headed out to my first call of the morning. It's gonna be. It's gonna be a good day.

I'm gonna be doing some cold calls, walk in, see if we can get any prospective clients to be interested in security. I'm headed out Thursday. This is my territory.

How I've split it up. Monday, Tuesday I'm going to be in the Boise area. Wednesday I'll be in Meridian area, Thursday, Eagle and Star.

And then Friday I'll be out in Caldwell, Middleton, Nampa, that area. So this is how I plan on investing the next ten years of my life out building businesses, networking, helping people, and we'll see where the wind takes. So I am headed out.

We'll talk to you all soon and I hope you're having a great day. Well, stopped for lunch and packed up a whole bunch of stuff. This is so Friday afternoon, evening, I get a vacate.

All of this gonna be fun. If anybody is bored and wants to help me, hit me up. Hmm, gotta love it.

Just got done with a client walkthrough talking about adding some access control to their building. It is amazing how valuable access control can be when it comes to a getting people in and tracking where they're going and who's going there and all of that stuff. So if you ever need help with access control, let me know.

Happy to have a conversation. Thanks for watching today's journal entry. The best way to support my work is by following, liking and sharing the content I create on a regular basis.

I appreciate you being on this journey through time with me and have a wonderful day.
