Going to shake things up?  Make it positive.  If you are going to challenge the process, get people excited about the journey. Tell people, “We are going to make this so much better!” Use words of excitement, dynamic energy, and rewarding to enlist people in your cause.  You have an important destination in mind – now launch the journey with excitement in your heart!

Make the Challenge Meaningful - Recent studies in motivation tell us that people want meaningful challenges.  They want to more than earn money; they want to contribute to something that will last.  People seek to lead a meaningful life!  One they can talk about, dream about, and even brag about.  A life invested in meaning is one that captures the essence of the soul.  People work harder for meaning.

How can you make challenges meaningful?  Show people the big picture.  Show people that they are not just building a wall; they are building a cathedral that will stand for centuries and will provide a place for spiritual teaching. Then show people how each one makes a difference on the effort.  Not only is the change meaningful, but YOU play an important part in it – and we’re counting on you!
