Procrastination

Everyone procrastinates. Lazy people have turned procrastination into an art form.

Do the things you don’t want to do first. If there’s a phone call you’re putting off making, make the call. If you need to clean your garage, clean it and don’t allow yourself to make excuses.

When you take action on the things you dread, you change. You change for the better…

Positive Thinking

Millions of books have been written about positive thinking. Millions more will be written. And we know too well that popular saying, “Let go. Let God.” That sounds great until you have to actually do it.

Ceding our desire to control is scary. We want our lives to have happy endings, so we try to control outcomes. Controlling things we have no control over doesn’t work.

Our Creator gives us control over one thing: our attitude. Keep yours focused on whatever is good, right and noble. That’s better than any self-help book…

Risky Business

We take risks every single day. For example, when we drive our car, we assume the risk that the other drivers will obey the law. If we have an accident, it doesn’t stop us from driving again.

Take a chance. Expect setbacks. Pursue your purpose with everything you have in you. You will succeed if you don’t quit, because God doesn’t lose. Ever…

People are carrying a lot of pain. They need connection and compassion, not judgment. We are in this life together. Be a bridge builder, not a destroyer…

Text Messages

Have you ever sent a text and not gotten a quick reply? Some people get upset when they don’t receive an immediate answer.

Don’t be one of those people. Be secure in knowing the other person might be busy in that moment, maybe their phone isn’t with them, or perhaps a short-term crisis just hit them and they aren’t able to reply.

Texting is for quick check-ins, not real communication. Speaking with the other person is communicating with them…
