       Those who know me best, know I have spent a lot of time in the history books with John F. Kennedy. Indeed, he is one of my favorite historical figures in American history. He was quite a smart guy, and had certain ways about dealing with different things in life that made him unique. One of these ways I will title ‘The Kennedy Method of Preparation.’ Let us define what that is. Well, simply put, anytime Kennedy had something big come up in this life, a big event, he typically would spend the time before it resting and relaxing. It’s as simple as that. There is a lot we can learn from this, however. I think we often have found ourselves working up to the last minute before a big event, when instead we should have been resting and refreshing our minds. I mean, this is really one reason why I do morning devotionals. They set my mind in the right place for the day ahead. A lot of famous self-help teachers will tell you the same thing—that the world’s most successful people spend time in mediation at the beginning of the day. But it’s not just at the beginning of the day, but it’s also before ‘big’ events that we should do this.
