Mindset
Mindset is everything. How we approach a project or situation beforehand in our minds will determine our outcome. Having a healthy mindset requires that we believe in ourselves, we believe we can do whatever we set our minds to. Just believe…
Fact or Fiction
We live in a culture where opinions are taken as facts. Opinions are opinions, nothing more. Do your research and check your sources. Do not simply rely on what some talking head tells you. Learn as you go…
The Thief
There has been a robbery! But not to worry. What was stolen can be regained. The thief is comparison. Comparison robs us of our identity when we start looking at our current standings versus others. People compare over money, looks and jobs. You are who God created you to be. He doesn’t make mistakes, nor does He look at his work and think you could have been improved.
Embrace your uniqueness, accept yourself as you are, always trying to improve. God is the authority over our lives. That’s good enough for me…
Grateful…
This morning I woke up with an overwhelming amount of gratitude. I’m grateful every day, but even more so today. Last night I had a car wreck that could have ended my life and the lives of the young men who hit me. All of us are pretty banged up, but we will heal physically. God protected us, no doubt. He’s not finished with us, and I am forever grateful to Him…

Growing up in her native Russia, Irina Alexander always wanted to be a teacher. Her mother persuaded her to major in business because teachers make very little money. So, Irina earned her MBA, built a business in a male-dominated industry with over $1 million in revenue in under two years, and found herself in the top 1.6% of all woman-owned businesses. Today, she is a teacher. She teaches Neurolinguistics Programming and helps people free themselves from behaviors that don’t serve them well. She does this by getting to the root of the problem and guiding her clients to remove the root. Through her journey, Irina found the root of one of her problems which she willingly shares here.
Empowerment
We, as human beings, have been given the greatest gift from our Creator: our minds. We have the ability to think critically and discern what is good for us from what is not. We are empowered to grow and thrive. We can do anything we put our minds to…
Resilient People
Life can throw some serious stuff our way. We live in an imperfect world, so it will always be this way. Refuse to give up, no matter what life gives you. Inner strength and resolve are built during the difficult times, not when life is easy. Keep going…
Prayers of Gratitude
Most of my prayers are prayers of gratitude. Every good thing we have is a gift from our Creator. Our heartbeats, fresh air and our minds are things we oftentimes take for granted, yet without them we wouldn’t function well. Remember to say thank you to the One who supplies our every need…
