But sometimes my mindsets or habits fail me. I came across an article recently that contained a nugget I wanted to share. My motivation levels fluctuated throughout my journey, particularly in the beginning. Every time I wanted to quit, I told myself, “If you still feel this way tomorrow, you can quit. Just make it through today.” By the time the deadline arrived, I’d refocused on my long-term goals. https://morgankenyon.com/2026/the-verbal-compliment-rule/ Sun, 08 Mar 2026 08:00:00 -0600 https://morgankenyon.com/2026/the-verbal-compliment-rule/ I’m looking for ways to build community and connection. I’ve always found it hard. I came across this LinkedIn post the other day. In March 2021, I joined a fru fru gym. $229 a month, ocean views, lighting that doesn’t supercharge your cortisol. But if I was paying that much, I was going to meet people. One problem: nobody at the gym wants to meet people. I also used to pretend to read nutrition labels at the grocery store to avoid people I knew. https://morgankenyon.com/2026/building-culture-through-the-bedtime-routine/ Mon, 23 Feb 2026 08:00:00 -0600 https://morgankenyon.com/2026/building-culture-through-the-bedtime-routine/ I’m a father to 4 kids, and I want to be intentional about teaching and instructing them. I want a specific type of family culture. I want my kids sharing my wife and I’s faith. I want my kids to have life long relationships. I would love to run businesses together with my kids. I think a lot about how I can help impart them in them. To make that easier, I want to take advantage of the moments where their hearts and soft and open. https://morgankenyon.com/2025/family-centered-discipleship/ Wed, 03 Dec 2025 08:00:00 -0600 https://morgankenyon.com/2025/family-centered-discipleship/ Can family and home facilitate discipleship? In college, I was part of a campus ministry that was discipleship oriented. The primary setting for discipleship was a 1-on-1 meeting or study. One of the individuals was more mature and was helping to lead and teach the less mature individual. This format works, I’m a product of it working. But as a father to 3 young kids, my ability to carve out consistent time for something like that is limited. https://morgankenyon.com/2025/my-experience-with-discipleship/ Thu, 06 Nov 2025 08:00:00 -0600 https://morgankenyon.com/2025/my-experience-with-discipleship/ During my college years, I was part of a college ministry called FOCUS. The people in that ministry helped me reconnect with God. It’s when I became an adult in my faith and changed the direction of my life. They are a discipleship oriented ministry. Every 4 years your student body turns over, you have to be intentional about raising up leaders for ministry. They are successful at it, I’m a product of their process. https://morgankenyon.com/2025/launching-selecttech/ Sat, 25 Oct 2025 08:00:00 -0600 https://morgankenyon.com/2025/launching-selecttech/ I wanted to let all my readers know, (all 1-2 people, lol), that I have now launched SelectTech.biz! I believe that our technology should serve us. But for a long time that has ceased to be the case. Every Windows update brings new features we don’t want. ISPs are trying to confuse their customers to extract more money from them. Especially for the older generation, technology can be a persistent headache. https://morgankenyon.com/2025/i-should-not-be-separating-my-faith/ Sun, 05 Oct 2025 08:00:00 -0600 https://morgankenyon.com/2025/i-should-not-be-separating-my-faith/ I’ve been a committed Christian for 13ish years. But up till now, I’ve kept my faith separate from my career. They’ve lived in two different spaces. I’d go to work, do whatever I needed to do at work. Then outside of work I’d practice my faith. This separation has always felt artificial and awkward. If I’m called to lay down my life tforo Christ, shouldn’t it also impact the 40 hours a week I’m at work? https://morgankenyon.com/2025/an-anti-social-business/ Sun, 28 Sep 2025 08:00:00 -0600 https://morgankenyon.com/2025/an-anti-social-business/ Social media is a cancer. Social media is a gatekeeper that does not care about you. Why would you build your business on it? Social Based Business Here’s the blueprint for the social based business: Start a Twitter/Facebook/Instagram/YouTube/TikTok account. Post about the stuff that you’re doing. The angrier you can be the better. Build a following. Start selling something. Repeat. Certainly there’s been success using that formula. All these people selling ebooks, courses, etc have made lots of money off of it. https://morgankenyon.com/2025/selling-the-invisible-thoughts-and-questions/ Sat, 20 Sep 2025 08:35:54 -0600 https://morgankenyon.com/2025/selling-the-invisible-thoughts-and-questions/ I’m reading through Selling the Invisible by Harry Beckwith. Here are some of my thoughts and questions over the book. Preface Notes Selling services are more complicated than products. You can smell, touch, sense products, but services are intangible. With a service, you’re usually relying on people to get your result. There’s not a normal process for ensuring a quality job like a product has. People are more skeptical of services. https://morgankenyon.com/blog/2020/challenging_self_perceptions/ Mon, 21 Sep 2020 19:24:42 -0500 https://morgankenyon.com/blog/2020/challenging_self_perceptions/ A couple of years ago, my wife and I attended the Dallas Symphony Orchestra. To be honest, I wasn’t really looking forward to it. I thought the music was boring, my mind kept wondering, I was ready to leave. Then one of the musicians approached a mic and said, “I hope you guys are enjoying yourself! If you’re not, it’s probably your fault!” That statement challenged my mindset about this concert. https://morgankenyon.com/about/ Sun, 23 Aug 2020 09:06:32 -0500 https://morgankenyon.com/about/ That is an exceedingly good question! I’m a disciple, husband, father, programmer and sometimes a writer. For a time, I blogged pretty consistently about .NET and C# programming over at thesharperdev.com. But lately I’ve been feeling less technical and more reflective so I decided to put together a personal site. In my free time I love fiddling around with programming things.
