Are you waiting for everything to align perfectly before you begin your life’s dream? I encourage you to stop waiting and start doing. You don’t have to have everything figured out before you begin.
Take a step in the direction of your dreams. Then take another. Expect things to go awry sometimes. You will redirect and be back on track! Just begin…
I wonder how historians will treat this strange era we are living in. One hundred years from now will be here before we know it.
In the United States, we have biological men playing women’s sports. Of course they are excelling. Men are stronger than women. I don’t know about you, but I believe women are much prettier and more feminine when they don’t have beards!
Certain politicians tell us we are “systemically racist.” We aren’t, but these weak-minded politicians love to stir people up and keep us divided.
If you are interested in learning about history, read the autobiographies of Booker T. Washington and Frederick Douglass. You will love their stories of overcoming great obstacles and thriving.
We are making our own histories every moment of every day. Let’s give the historians something worthwhile to write about…
Remember when you were a kid and learning what foods you liked? People would say, “try it you might like it.” To this day, I wish I had never tried barbecue or Tex-Mex. My waistline battle would be much easier!
When you start something new, you aren’t proficient in it immediately. It takes time. None of us walked perfectly when we first started, but we didn’t quit.
Trying something new is adventurous. You might not learn to play guitar as well as Eric Clapton, but you will reach a skill level of proficiency if you stick with it. I encourage you to start on the ideas you hold in your mind and heart. Stay with it when setbacks come. Let your confidence build. Try it today…
Today’s blog might blow your mind. At the very least I hope it makes you think.
Before the earth was formed, God thought of you. He knew when and where you were to be born. Your parents would create the perfect DNA to make you exactly how He specified. Every moment of your life was thought of, along with every consequence of every decision you make. Each and every person you encounter has a reason attached to it. And there is a greater purpose to your life.
Finally, the era in time as we know time was planned. Use your time wisely. Fulfill His purpose on earth…
All of us have the same 168 hours each week. Have you ever kept track of how you spent your time? I have, and it was eye opening to see how much time I wasted. But there are healthy alternatives.
Time spent in traffic is wasted unless you use it to listen to a podcast or audiobook. If you spend more time in a bar than in the gym, your time is wasted but so is your health. Watching the news is a total waste, so why not call someone and have a conversation? You will not miss anything on television.
I encourage you to reorient your focus to things that enrich and edify your life when you have time. You will be better off, and you will grow…
In the 1600’s, René Descartes wrote, “I think, therefore I am.” It’s true! Our thoughts control our actions. But it’s deeper than that.
Bad habits are hard to break. It’s not that we don’t want to change, but something is getting in the way of our progress. Some unhealthy beliefs must be addressed before we can actually change our outcomes. This could go back to childhood trauma (something I know about).
Examine your life honestly. You will figure it out. Then, you own it…
Basic needs are food, clothing and shelter, right? If we have those we are set. But there’s something else we need: other people.
It’s easy to get caught up in chasing status and stuff. The greedy side of us says if one’s good, then two is better and three is best. Yet we ignore our relationships in our driven pursuit of materialism.
Let’s slow down and take inventory of the good people God has placed in our lives. They are there for a purpose, and the good people aren’t there to help us acquire more stuff. They are in our lives to fulfill a need…
Some people like to deal in absolutes. They are rigid in their thinking and their beliefs with no room for margin. I find those types of people to be difficult to work with.
The world is not black and white, it’s gray. We can learn from each other, but only if we are willing.
I encourage you to open your mind and your heart. Try to see things through the eyes of others. It’s not a threat to your beliefs, but a way to expand your worldview…
Every day we are faced with innumerable choices. Do we go right or left, up or down, do the right thing or take the easy way out?
Each day, give yourself an evaluation of how you did. What did you do right, and what could you do differently? Do not beat yourself up over bad choices. And don’t over reward yourself for your good choices. Just evaluate.
Whether or not you decide to do this self evaluation is up to you. It’s your choice…
TikTok has robbed us of our ability to focused like a laser beam. The short, oftentimes entertaining videos hit the pleasure spot in the brain, so we keep scrolling. we are consciously rewiring our brains.
I encourage you to wean yourself off most social media. Replace TikTok with a book. Take back your mind…
