Is your mindset one of abundance or scarcity? We become what we think about, so you and I are manifesting our thoughts into our reality.
My encouragement to you is to dream big, audacious dreams. Do not make your focus on money. Put your energy into fulfillment. This will keep your outcomes aligned with your values.
Poverty and dread are mindsets. So are health and wellness. Focus abundantly…
It seems our society has devolved into a culture of rudeness. People hide behind computer screens and say some ugly things to others with no repercussions. Politeness has always been admired by us in books, movies and in real life, so how did we get here?
People are stressed to the max. The cost of living has skyrocketed, everyone is in a rush, and we don’t have time to be polite. Yet, I say we do have time. We just don’t make the time.
Slow down a little. Make the time to connect with others. Be kind and polite, even to those who don’t deserve it. They probably need your kindness the most…
Many of us have heard people use the “if only” excuse. You know what I’m referring to. If only I was taller, more athletic, smarter, I had a better boss, better parents. The list could go on forever. They are simply petty put-downs, but we aren’t putting ourselves down even though it sounds that way.
God created us exactly how He wanted us to be. Each of us has been given unique gifts and talents. He expects us to use them to bring glory to Him, not ourselves. Glory means “high renown or honor won by notable achievements.” The glory goes to God because it was He who gave us the ability.
If you have been guilty of using the “if only” excuse, I encourage you to get rid of it. Eliminate it from your thinking. You are being critical of The One who created you, not yourself…
We are coming into political campaign season. All the “experts” in their political views will be alive and rampant on the internet. But do their opinions really matter to anyone besides themselves?
In my observation, I have never seen anyone affected by someone cramming their opinions down someone else’s throat. This applies to politics, religion, and even sports.
People must come to their way of thinking on their own. We should question ourselves, test our convictions and constantly evolve as we mature. This is part of the strength of a free society…
There is always a way to accomplish what you really want. Think creatively. See the situation from many angles. Talk it through with people and listen to their perspective. You do not have to do what anyone suggests, but it might be a good idea to consider what others think.
And always remember that the mind is your powerful connection to the spiritual realm. And you can do anything you set your mind to…
Magic is everywhere. We have magic shows, magical connections, we even have the Magic Kingdom! But what is magic?
Magic describes the use of mysterious or supernatural forces to alter reality. But the magician isn’t using supernatural powers. He’s simply creating an illusion.
There is a true supernatural power found in the word of God. Just saying the name Jesus makes the demons shudder. These are real forces and they are available to everyone.
Remember this when you talk to God. He is listening, always. Thank Him in advance for what you ask for, and thank Him for what He has given you. Then watch the magic happen…
When I was raising my children I let them know they could “say anything they wanted to” to me. But I would pay attention to how they said it.
Attitude is everything. What lies in our hearts will eventually come out in what we say. When I observe some of the ugly things people say to others on social media, it occurs to me that they might have a lot of unresolved anger lying beneath.
I encourage you to work on yourself. Carl Jung once wrote that “unresolved trauma leads to future neuroses.” Clear out any darkness in your heart and let the light enter. Your attitude will be enlightened and others will benefit from your goodness…
How do you approach life? Are you facing your challenges directly and with confidence, or do they make you anxious?
In The Book of Timothy the author writes, “For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power and love…” In other words, we have been equipped by the Creator to rely on Him and His guidance to work through our difficulties. God knows what our futures hold because He is already there. Why wouldn’t we let Him guide us instead of trying to do everything ourselves?
I encourage you to remember this when worry and anxiety strikes. Let go and let God. You are a warrior in His eyes…
Many people push themselves to the point of exhaustion. They never take an opportunity to rest. They feel like they must go it alone. Nothing could be further from the truth.
We have an invisible helper. His name is God. We are instructed to come to Him when we are weary. But do we? I’m guilty of going it alone, thinking that I and I alone can solve whatever I’m working on. This couldn’t be further from the truth, either.
Perhaps we should slow down a little and ask God for guidance. He will answer.
And remember to P. U. S. H.: Pray Until Something Happens…
We revere our trophies, don’t we? We have old sports trophies, trophy wives and husbands, and my least favorite: participation trophies!
Trophies are a representation of an accomplishment or achievement. We like to be recognized for what we are doing in our lives. And that’s a good thing.
The greatest trophy we can earn is not a physical trophy at all. It is doing what God put us on the planet to do. When the day comes and I face my Creator, I want His praise. That’s the trophy I’m striving for…
