Initiative is the desire to do something before anyone else does. If you have initiative you are taking the lead.
Look around. What needs to change, whether it’s something in society or someone in your life? There are multiple challenges that we need to engage with and move the bar forward.
Nothing changes until we take the initiative. Do something today…
No one likes a dictator. You know who I’m talking about. Someone who is a “know it all” who loves to tell you how you should live your life.
When we make changes in our lives, it’s because we have personal reasons for doing so. We are all on a constant quest to improve. But improving ourselves is deeply personal. And when we make advancements we own them.
Listen to others without judging them. It’s up to them to make changes in their lives, for their own reasons. Support them…

We make plans but they sometimes go awry. What do we do then?
We adjust. We adapt. Just because our best-laid plans don’t work out the way we planned is not a reason to wallow in disappointment and self pity. We are better than that.
Do your best to plan your day, your weekend and your vacation. But if they go haywire you know how to handle it…
When things go wrong, or even when things go right, aren’t we looking for someone to blame? Things go wrong and we blame others or circumstances. Things go right and we are ready to glorify ourselves.
The truth is, the way our lives turn out begins with us. We must accept responsibility for the decisions we make. We are the only ones who get to make decisions for ourselves.
Accepting responsibility is a giant step forward. Keep growing…
Through the myriad of challenges life throws at us, one thing remains: hope. Hope keeps us going when everything else is falling apart. Hope is the calm in the storm we are searching for. Hope gives us light when everything is dark. We remain hopeful even when our situation remains uncertain.
Have you lost hope in your life? If so, turn your focus to God’s power and promises. He is faithful to us even when we doubt Him.
Remember this: God did not create us and then forget about us…
Everyone experiences pain. You can’t escape it on this side of eternity. But what you do with your pain makes all the difference in the world.
Pain will either stifle you, shut you down, or pain can be used as fuel to achieve a higher purpose. It’s your choice always.
Fuel burns white hot. Let your painful experiences be ignited inside. Use your pain for the greater good…
Pilates is an exercise methodology that is practiced by millions worldwide. Pilates was introduced into the world by Joseph Hubertus Pilates. His original program was called Contrology. It was only after his death did the exercise phenomenon take on his name.
Pilates is about mind, body and spirit connection. Breathing into the exercises causes you to focus on your body’s movements and nothing else. It is an intense, full-body workout. It’s great for toning and conditioning the muscles, and Pilates produces perfect posture.
Give Pilates a try if you want to begin an exercise program. You will be glad you did…
Did you know that God is pursuing us every moment of every day? He wants a relationship with us, not to give us more religion but to mold us into the person He created us to be. We are on God’s mind all the time. Is He on ours?
We are rebellious by nature. No one had to teach us that. We don’t want anyone controlling us and that includes the God of the universe. Yet let’s face one simple truth: God is in control of everything. Every breath we take is a gift from our Creator.
I encourage you to take the difficult road. Surrender your will to the Creator. Learn who He is. He will guide you when you allow Him to.
From the Book of Jeremiah: “You will find me when you seek me with all your heart…”
