We love extras, don’t we? Unless it’s extra weight, most extras are welcome additions.
A Baker’s Dozen is thirteen. Extra effort is easily recognized. “Extra Extra” meant something big was happening.
Let’s strive to be extraordinary in our lives. Set the example. Lead others well. You don’t need to use words for others to recognize you are exceptional. Show them…
Laughter is the best medicine, isn’t it? There are some other great medicines we might overlook. Consider the following treatments: exercise, sunshine, sleep, human interaction and peace of mind. These help us recharge and heal. Our bodies were made for natural remedies, not pills.
Take your health into your own hands. Be your biggest cheerleader because you’re going to need a cheering section. Don’t quit when you feel like giving up, and you will. Prepare yourself for something great to begin…
The beginning of the new year is right around the corner. Many people set New Year’s Resolutions, vowing to change some things in themselves. But why wait until January 1st? Start now.
Think of how far you will be in three weeks when 2024 actually arrives. Focus on how you will feel. You aren’t giving anything up. You are investing in yourself.
Start tomorrow on the renewal of you. Better yet, start right now…
Timing is everything. There’s a right time to speak and a right time to listen. There’s a time to take the lead while there’s also a time to step back and watch things develop.
Your time is now. Unwrap the dreams of your heart and act on them. You won’t have everything figured out beforehand so don’t concern yourself with every little detail. Just act.
There has never been a better time than now…
In 1854, Henry David Thoreau wrote, “Most men live lives of quiet desperation, and die with their song still in them.” Do you want to die unfulfilled? I don’t think you do.
Let’s go on a journey together to find purpose and meaning in our lives. The first thing to do is pray. Ask God to show you the way to your higher purpose. Then ask God for the courage to follow through and do it.
Step two is to take an inventory of what you are good at. What makes you feel alive? Write everything down. Keep your list with you and add to it as things come to light.
Step three is to begin. Start moving in the direction you are led in. Don’t concern yourself with having everything figured out beforehand. The pathway will open as you take steps. Be fearless.
Expect setbacks and frustrations. They are natural. Work through them and keep moving forward.
Finally, thank God regularly that He is on this road with you. Thank Him for guidance and for lifting hurdles.
Start now. Do not hesitate. I look forward to seeing you on the road less traveled…
There are leaders and followers. Which one are you?
Following the masses will only take you as far as the crowd goes. Leadership means doing the right thing even when it’s unpopular and uncomfortable. Leaders have a servants heart, and they are not afraid of taking risks. Leading means accepting responsibility when you screw up, and you will. No one gets things right one hundred percent of the time.
Take the lead. Lead well…
It has been said that ignorance is bliss. Sometimes I believe this to be true.
Some people live in an echo chamber, and they refuse to listen to anyone who disagrees with them. These types of people are self-righteous and believe they are an authority. I believe they are simply arrogant.
Dialogue is essential for civility. Take the time to listen to someone you don’t agree with. Maybe you don’t even like them. But when we listen, we have an opportunity to learn and grow…
The freedoms we enjoy in the United States came at a cost. Much blood was spilled defending our rights to free speech and liberty. We must hold these things deep in our hearts, because they are not permanent. They can be lost.
On this Thanksgiving day, I’m grateful I was born here during this era in history. My calling is to inspire others, and to spread encouragement, strength and hope to a world in desperate need of it.
Stay hopeful…
C. S. Lewis once wrote, “You are never too old to set another goal or to dream another dream.”
Are you one of the many people who believe their best days are behind them? I assure you they are not. You have a future, a date with your destiny. It might not look like a Hollywood movie, but it is your personal story.
Bring your childhood dreams to life. It’s not too late…
God’s power operates in the supernatural. We have access to His power to accomplish the impossible when we are operating within God’s will. He will make things happen through us that should not happen in the natural world. Only then will people believe.
Are you operating in the natural or the supernatural? It’s something to consider…
