We unnecessarily complicate things. Life isn’t that hard to figure out. Many times the simplest solution is right in front of us but we don’t see it because of all the noise.
Try to eliminate anything that gets in your way of thinking clearly. Our minds can do incredible things when we get out of our own way. Think about it…
On social media, I often see people posting memes quoting others. I used to do the same thing. Until I didn’t.
All of us have original thoughts and ideas. We should be audacious enough to share them with the world. People need originality.
Your thoughts might be the catalyst someone needs to light the creative fire in themselves. Please share what’s in your mind and heart…
You can’t please everyone. Even God can’t do that. People will be disappointed by something.
If you see yourself as a people pleaser, then you might consider working on that. And the best way to solve that is to work on yourself. The desire to please everyone and never say no comes from within.
There’s nothing wrong with wanting to do for others and make them happy. Nothing at all. You end up sacrificing yourself without healthy boundaries, though. Take care of yourself so you can show up in life at your best…
Denial is real. People are fearful of judgement so they whitewash the truth to others and to themselves. But there is no escaping the truth.
Face your life and all of its ugliness, but also it’s beauty. Both coexist and both can be improved upon. Work on what troubles you about your life, and work to improve what’s going well.
I encourage you to “get real” with yourself. Start today…
Believe in yourself. God created you for a greater purpose. He hasn’t forgotten you or abandoned you.
The world will knock you down. Get back up and get knocked down again. Keep getting up as long as it takes. Find your inner strength to accomplish your destiny. The world cannot defeat you because you have the Creator of the universe on your side.
Don’t go to your grave with your song still in you. The world needs to hear from you…
All of us are accountable to someone. When we were children it was our parents. When we got jobs we were accountable to our boss. There is no such thing as a “self-made man.” We had guidance along the way.
We are accountable to ourselves, too. If we eat crap it will show in our physical appearance. Don’t exercise? Prepare to be stiff and overweight. We must take ownership of the personal decisions we have made and continue to make.
I encourage you to take care of yourself, mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Your life will have less chaos and deeper fulfillment…
Trigger’s have meaning beyond being part of a gun. Triggers are something that create an unexpected emotional reaction. They can be events, situations, or even people.
A personal trigger for me is lying. I was lied to as a child, so this one runs deep in me. When I hear a lie, it does something to me I can’t describe. I get angry, disgusted and hurt all at the same time. I get over it, but my ability to trust the person who lied has been compromised.
Think about your own personal triggers. Then commit to understanding where they come from. Be ready, because you will gain insight into yourself…
What are you afraid of? People’s number one fear is public speaking. Number two is death! I’m not kidding.
Whatever you fear, I encourage you to face it. It’s something inside of you, somewhere beneath the surface. The fear inside is stopping you from living fully. It takes a brave person to dig in and work through things. But you can do it, and you don’t have to do it alone.
See your way through. There is more life waiting for you on the other side…
Do you value yourself? You are worth so much, and we oftentimes don’t consider our true value.
Our brains make over 25,000 independent decisions per second. Mind boggling, isn’t it? Our bodies are physical marvels in the way they work without us commanding them to. But there’s more.
Our worth is found in recognizing that a perfect God created us. In fact, God thought of every single one of us before the earth was formed. If that doesn’t blow your mind, I don’t know what will.
People search for their worth through their zip codes, bank balances, their position and power. These are hollow and will not fill the void. Unfulfilled, people turn to unhealthy habits to numb the pain.
Find your value in healthy habits. The world will still be here…
Texans are different. We are. The spirit of America lives large in Texas. Entrepreneurship thrives in Texas because of that great spirit.
We have our own set of challenges, of course. We have lazy people, victimhood mentality is growing, and our border is overwhelmed. Yet we find a way.
I do volunteer speaking in detention centers and prisons in Texas. I talk about God, even though our federal government tells me I can’t. The administration in these facilities encourages me to talk about the Creator. If I did this in California or New York, I would be run out of the state!
If you haven’t ever visited Texas, please come. You will not run out of interesting things to do, and our people will embrace you with their kindness. Come see for yourself…
