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…
Money doesn’t buy happiness. You only get fulfillment through service to others, to those who can never do anything to repay you…
Do you want to know the most dangerous prayer you can offer? It’s a simple two words: “Use me.” God answers that one every time! And there’s usually not much waiting time between saying the words and God putting you into action.
Prayer has power. And I want you to remember this: God will not put you in a position to harm you. He will use us to accomplish His work on earth and it will glorify Him.
Live dangerously. Pray the prayer…
Let’s face it, all of us have a limited amount of time on earth. We don’t have the luxury of knowing how long, but it’s up to us to make the most of our time.
Live fully. Every day. Stay focused on the far horizon and don’t allow anyone to discourage you from realizing your dreams…
In today’s world, we can have anything from liquor and groceries to Waterford Crystal delivered to our homes. Technology has made this possible.
We gain valuable time from modern conveniences, but everything has a cost attached to it. We lose human interaction when we order from our computer screen. And if the pandemic taught us anything, it’s that we need each other.
Make certain you take time to connect with your fellow man. You need them, and they need you…
There is nothing in this world that can stop us from fulfilling our dreams. There are no insurmountable obstacles. Our only challenge is inside our heads. That’s right. Mindset is everything…
We can’t stop the aging process, but we don’t have to allow it to ruin our health, either.
Age only exists in your head and your heart. Keep your thoughts on what’s true, right and noble. Exert yourself when you exercise. Eat good foods. Read books that make you think, books that inspire you. By doing these things, you will begin to age in reverse.
Try it! You will become more vibrant, and the lens you view the world through will expand…
People believe they must have everything aligned perfectly before beginning a new, worthwhile venture. Or they need more education. Or time. Or money. Or whatever excuse they conjure up.
Here’s a secret for you: you do not need perfect alignment, education, time or money or anything else. Commit your work to honoring God, ask Him for guidance, keep asking along the way, and begin. That’s it!
Then keep going, no matter what…
A husband and wife were driving down the highway when the wife says, “you’re going the wrong way!” The husband replied, “be quiet. I’m making good time!”
Will the road you are on lead you to your destiny? Don’t confuse activity with achievement. Set goals, big goals for your life. Goals that are so outrageous you must rely on the Creator to make them happen because you can’t accomplish them on your own power.
And guess what? If you keep God in the picture, and you are pursuing what is true, right, and noble, He will guide you and place the right people in your life while removing unseen hurdles. You will succeed.
Just keep going, no matter what…
