Innovation

People oftentimes say they don’t like change. I interpret this to mean they want their daily lives to be predictable, to not have deviations.

The people who go down in history are the innovators, the visionaries. We know names like Franklin, Ford and Einstein. One hundred years from now the people will be talking about Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg. These people, and others have reshaped the way we live our lives.

The only constant in life is change. Be fearless in your approach to life, and embrace change when it comes…

Progress

We have heard of the “overnight success.” What a misnomer. Success comes, but it requires diligence, perseverance and commitment.

So often, people give up too quickly. Their expectations of overnight success are misguided. It takes time for us to develop.

If you are struggling with what you perceive to be a lack of progress, I encourage you to keep going. Your best days lie ahead if you decide that nothing can make you quit…

Sex

I’m certain the title of today’s blog got your attention! Good. Read on.

Sex is the number one search on Google. God created everything that’s good in the universe, and that includes sex. Satan perverts it through pornography, prostitution and in other ways.

Money is a useful tool. We need money to pay our bills and we can use it to help others. But for some people, money has become their god. Food is necessary to sustain our bodies, yet over half of our population here in the United States is obese.

The primary point I want to make is, if you are obsessed with something, you might be in danger of it becoming your god. There is only one God, as He wants you to obsess over Him…

Faithful

As children, we were taught to never lie, cheat or steal. Not everyone took to the teaching.

If someone lies, cheats, steals or participates in any type immoral behavior, they might get away with it. A short-term “success” of this kind does long-term damage to the individual. Their self-esteem takes the hit.

Staying faithful through tough situations is hard. But the situation will pass, and remaining solid will build you into a better, stronger person. Stay faithful…

Cockiness

Cockiness is unattractive. You know the type of person I’m referring to. Someone who brags about themselves, who has to “one-up” any accomplishments others have. Cocky people are insecure about themselves and their worth.

Confidence is attractive. People who quietly show strength of character, who do the work but don’t care who gets the credit are the type of people I surround myself with. They inspire me.

If you find yourself in a situation where you feel the need to brag, remember that it’s not about you…

Fooled!

You have unique gifts and abilities. If you are reading this, your purpose here on earth hasn’t been fulfilled.

The world will tell you that your dreams are crazy, they’re too big. Do not listen to them. Listen for the voice of the Creator. He will open doors for you, knock down hurdles and get you through the inevitable setbacks that lie ahead.

Your vision is yours alone. Others can’t see it, so don’t be fooled by their opinions and beliefs about your life. Get started, and no matter what, keep going…

Trash Removal

Are there people in your life who aren’t good for you? Remove them.

If someone is dragging you down, disrespectful and discouraging, the problem is with them, not you. Sometimes it’s hard to recognize when you are in the middle of the storm. But you know something isn’t right.

You are here for a great purpose. The wrong people will get in the way of you achieving it. Take out the trash. Put your faith in God above and ask Him to guide you. He will help you…

Fairness

We all know that life is hard and life isn’t fair. Life on this side of eternity will remain imperfect. But that’s where the beauty lies.

If life was fair and equitable, opportunity wouldn’t exist. We would all be the same.

Take some time to take a personal inventory of all the opportunities you have been given. And be on the lookout for your next opportunity. It’s coming…

Impressive

Insecure people try to impress us with their possessions, their position in life and their importance. These things are nice, but they are meaningless in the grand scheme.

Did you want to impress me? Show me you are a kind hearted person who has unshakable character. Show me you are trustworthy, and that your word stands for something. This is what impresses me…
