I read something yesterday about couples who have healthy relationships. They acknowledge each other with two simple words: thank you. It takes minimal effort to thank someone who has helped you or shown kindness to you or a loved one. Minimal.
Take the time to write thank you notes. Anyone can text or email. The few minutes it takes you to write a short note will pay great dividends in the future. You will stand out from the crowd when you do this. I promise…
Today’s culture says, “look at me! Look at how great I’m doing.” I love to celebrate others success. I’m happy when my friends and acquaintances are doing well.
But the ones who get my respect are those who do things quietly. They do the necessary work, and don’t care about getting attention or credit. They simply perform.
Which one are you? It’s certainly something to consider. Humility is attractive. Inflated egos are a turnoff…
To be consistent means to be unchanging in nature. But what about people? Oftentimes people change for the crowd they are in. They are one way at work, another way at home and even another when with friends. You never know who you’re gonna get!
Focus on getting to know who you are at your core being. Find comfort in that, knowing you were created by God exactly how He wanted you to be. Then don’t change yourself to fit in with whoever you are with. Be yourself, consistently…
We remove garbage from our homes regularly, right? If we don’t, things turn ugly. And smelly!
This goes for what we allow to stay in our minds and hearts, too. Bitterness, hate and anger will destroy us from within. These character traits will have a major impact on the way we communicate with others as well.
If you are holding on to anything that’s preventing you from being your best, pray to God to remove them from you. He will, I promise. The self work will not be easy, but anything worthwhile rarely comes to us easily…
All of us feel different from everyone else. We are, and that’s a good thing.
God loves variety, so He made each of us uniquely. As human beings, we try to conform to the crowd so we “fit in.” We were not created to conform. We are here to stand out!
Embrace your uniqueness. Be different on purpose…
We have instant coffee, microwave food, Instacart grocery delivery, and instant messaging! We have gotten accustomed to living life at the speed of light.
Life takes work. We must apply ourselves to earn what we gain. Nothing is guaranteed, nor should it be. We make incremental progress daily to achieve bigger gains in the future.
The truth is, we only value what we earn, and rarely does anything great happen in an instant…
We are in constant motion. Life is not fluid, always going the same direction. Sometimes we have to pivot. It’s okay. Be flexible and adaptable.
Remember, the only constant in life is change…

We all have our rituals. For example, I drink coffee every morning. It’s more a habit than a rite, but I do it daily.
We can become set in our ways. Neural pathways are strong. Let’s be aware that the way we have done things in the past might be ready for change. New, innovative methods should be embraced, not avoided.
Keep your mind open. Change is inevitable…
Take a good look at yourself. Make a list of your talents and strengths. Thank the Creator for giving them to you.
When you focus on what you have instead of what others have, your thoughts align with your purpose. Coveting a talent someone else has takes away from your joy in the moment. God hardwired you exactly the way He wanted you. Go with it!
All of us are unique. It’s time to put your uniqueness on display…
