Approval

When I was growing up, a frequent saying from the adults was, “what would they say?” Who is they???

The only approval we should strive for is the approval of God alone. When we live our lives in obedience to God, and we are trying to do what is good, right and noble, I’m guessing we are okay with God. Even when we slip we are okay with God. He never changes.

Live your life with the purpose the Creator put in you. Do your best. If you slide backwards, get yourself back on track. The infamous “they” have no authority over your life…

New Year’s Resolutions

We have reached the point of the year when people make resolutions for the coming year. Are you making some?

Here is a way to ensure you stick with your resolution: write only one. One change you are going to make, and commit to that change for one month. Keep a journal. Write about it. Talk to God about it. But commit yourself to accomplishing it.

You can do anything you set your mind to…

I Believe

What are your beliefs? Write them down, then state them out loud.

I believe in God. I believe in my health. I believe I have 40 more good years in me. I believe in my ability to create the wealth I need. I believe in myself. These are just a few of mine.

This is a powerful exercise. Do it daily for the next month. See what happens to your mindset…

Broken

Everywhere you look you can see brokenness. From people to the world we live in, nothing lasts. Yet, it is possible to maintain an optimistic mindset amid the brokenness.

Look for opportunities to serve others. Lifting other people while they are in their own struggles will energize you.

Be a giver, no a taker. Leaders have a servants heart…

Progress

We set goals and objectives for our lives. We want to feel like we are growing and progressing. But old habits can be hard to break.

Commit to changing one thing that doesn’t get you where you’re trying to go. Stay with it. If you fall backwards, start again. You aren’t defeated until you decide you are.

If nothing changes, nothing changes…

Peace

Do you have anyone in your life who robs you of your inner peace? I encourage you to remove them from your life. These types of people keep you from living fully.

I understand it will be difficult for a period of time. But time will pass, and you will heal from the “loss.”

Use this time to work on yourself. Look at unhealthy patterns in your life. Then apply what you learned and you will attract more healthy people into your life. I promise…

Thoughts

What was going through your mind right before you decided to read this? Maybe your plans for today, Christmas shopping, something that is troubling you, or perhaps you were thinking about your family. The point is, you were thinking something.

We have control over our thoughts. That’s right! We get to decide what to think. And if we believe our thoughts, then they manifest into the world.

Focus on thinking about what you want in your life. Believe it to be true. Then watch it happen…
