What did you think when you saw the title of the blog? Maybe you pictured someone who is in great physical shape. Perhaps you thought of yourself in the gym.
Fitness is more than just the physical. We must exercise mentally, emotionally and spiritually as well. The more we work at it, the stronger we became in all those areas. Take care of yourself so the best version of you shines through…
We live at the speed of light, always on the go. We aren’t meant to be workaholics. We need human connection, play and rest.
Give yourself permission to take it easy sometimes. Rest and relax. If you don’t take care of yourself, you won’t be any good to anyone else…
“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends…” Jesus Christ
Whatever you celebrate, whether it’s Easter, Passover or nothing at all, I hope you have a peaceful, meaningful weekend. Peace…
I’m impatient. We live in what I call a “FedEx Society” where we want it now. I want it yesterday. Life doesn’t work instantly. It takes time to build a home, grow tomatoes or raise children.
Slow down a little. Invest time in what you are involved in. Live with purpose, not impatience…
When I was growing up, the term “user” meant a drug user. It still means that, but it also applies to people. People have agendas, and sometimes those agendas involve you. Be wary.
Do you want to meet people who have pure intentions? Hang out with toddlers. Toddlers only want your time and attention…
All of us have heard fishing stories before, and the stories get better every time the person tells it.
But what about the stories we tell ourselves? We are lying to ourselves when we tell ourselves we aren’t good enough, that we shouldn’t try anything new because we will fail. The truth is, God created us. We are good enough. He wants us to succeed.
God didn’t create us and then forget about us. Trust Him…
Are you chasing anything? Maybe it’s success, a partner, health and wellness, or fulfillment. I believe we are all looking for something more than what life offers.
The only thing that will truly fill our heart’s desire is spiritual. And the funny thing is, the Spirit is chasing us. Let Him catch you…
I have always been different. I like to say that I march to the beat of a different drummer, but it’s a great rhythm. Find your rhythm…
I’ve heard people say, “I live my life with no regrets.” Everyone has regrets. I certainly do. There are bad decisions, even some colossally stupid things I have done in my past. Some hurtful things I have said when I was angry. But I learned from my regrets. I don’t live in them.
Try to live as regret-less as you can. Live free…
Everyone experiences heartache and pain. Sometimes it’s so severe you don’t believe you will get through it, after the loss of a child, for example.
Pain can be used for purpose. Think of it as fuel that intensely drives you to bring good from the bad. Doing good in the world won’t take away the hurt and pain, but at least you will know it wasn’t wasted…
