“Who we are and what we think is shaped by how we approach each and every day.”

–Chadwick Sapenter

Answer your call.

Chadwick believes that each of us is put on earth for a very unique and specific reason. Chadwick’s burning desire to Live out his purpose is what fuels his interactions.

Deal with your mess.

It’s common for most of us to want to solve other people’s problems so that we don’t have to face your own issues. Chadwick realized that after years of carrying baggage that the only way to effectively help others is to start by dealing with your own baggage FIRST.

Forgive.

Chadwick talks openly about the difficulty he had forgiving the individuals who hurt him, but he firmly believes that once he was able to forgive he was freed from the emotional prison. Forgiveness isn’t forgetting but forgiveness is liberating for the victim.

Ask questions.

Chadwick believes that if you don’t know something ask and even when you think you know get more understanding. You never know what you will learn from another person asking questions helps you learn more about them.

Atone.

If you make a mistake or wrong someone, do your best to make it right. This is simple but really hard to do for lots of us. Chadwick believes it’s not about not making mistakes because we all will, but what we do after the mistake is made is more of a reflection of who we are.

Enjoy today.

None of us have ever seen a tomorrow. We have today to make an impact in someone’s life. We have today to put a smile on another persons face, so make the most out of each day.

Push yourself.

If you’re comfortable and content with everything going on in your life or at your job it may mean that you’re not trying hard enough. Progress is hard and it takes us digging deep inside to persevere in tough times.

Learn daily.

One new thing every single day! Be deliberate and intentional about learning something new every day.

Eat with friends.

Chadwick is a self confessed workaholic but he’s learned that although work can be fulfilling there are few things that give him greater joy than spending quality time with those he loves the most.

Live with passion.

You can drink cold water, you can cook with hot warm, but lukewarm water just sits. Be hot or be cold, live your life with passion. It’s hard for someone who’s not passionate to convince others that they are.

Think different.

It’s hard to do the work that you do and see changes occur approaching it like everyone around you. Think outside of the box and challenge others around you to do so also. Remember if you always do what you’ve always done; you’ll always get what you’ve always got.

Never Give Up!

Keep fighting, keep inspiring, keep trying, Never Give Up.
