Actively practicing gratitude changes your perspective on life. You no longer view the world with caution or pause. You see the art and beauty around you, and you see others differently as well. Gratitude leads to forgiveness. Forgiving those who harmed you is vital if you want to live fully. Holding on to past hurts can make you bitter and resentful. Forgiving others doesn’t mean you forget their transgressions. In fact, you can’t and shouldn’t forget them. But forgiveness frees you of a giant burden. Try practicing gratitude daily for thirty days. Feel the difference in you…#heart #forgiveness #gratitude #drive #desire #purpose #inspiration #live #free #encouragement #love

Surround yourself with people who inspire you to be your best, people who make you think. Let people in who are truly on your side. And listen to them when they speak truth into your life…#heart #purpose #drive #desire #influence #inspiration #encourageothers

There is beauty in every failure. Do not let setbacks paralyze you with fear and doubt. The road to your destiny is a curvy one, with pitfalls and hurdles around every turn. Keep going…#heart #purpose #drive #desire #destiny #connection #encourageothers

Twenty years ago, the worst school shooting in history (at that time) occurred at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado. Who could foresee the good that would come from this tragic event? Rachel Joy Scott was the first person killed that day. Her life, her writings, and her legacy lives on through Rachel’s Challenge, the largest organization in the world which focuses on kindness and compassion. Rachel’s story has reached and impacted millions of people across our planet. I’m humbled and grateful to serve on the board for this wonderful organization. God truly can create good from evil…

The 17th century French philosopher Blaise Pascal wrote about a “God-shaped vacuum” inside the hearts of everyone. What are you filling it with? More stuff? A greater position? Power? If you are trying to find your purpose in those things, you will be in a never ending search. Seek to find your God-given purpose. There you will find fulfillment…#heart #connection #drive #desire #purpose #fulfillment
