We are living in a unique period in time. We have news shoved in our faces 24/7, immediate home delivery of everything from groceries to alcohol, and we can reach our friends on the phone anytime…anywhere.
With these luxuries comes great responsibility. We are still called to work, be respectful and courteous to our fellow man, and raise our children the right way in a world that’s new to us. We cannot let decency die out as technology dominates our lives. Be kind. Always…
These days, you cannot go one day without hearing about inflation. Inflation is like a tax we pay without legislation.
But what about other types of inflation like inflated egos, inflated truths (lies) and inflated expectations? We can live humbly, tell the truth and set realistic expectations without legislation. Think about it…
All of us want to feel accepted. We want others to like us. Sometimes this desire to be included leads us to act like someone we aren’t.
It’s more important to live authentically, to show the world our true selves. When we live true to our inner spirit, we are the same person no matter the crowd we are in. We are ourselves…
People are guarded. They are afraid to show who they truly are because of the fear of judgment. We are created in the image of God. He doesn’t make mistakes, nor does he second guess himself.
People will judge you no matter what. However, they have no authority over your life. Authority belongs to God alone, and He sees who we truly are. Live your life to please Him, not the world…
Trials are placed in our lives to grow us…to strengthen us. We have a choice when faced with challenges: we can rise to the challenge or we can shrink from it. To rise, think of the trials of life as opportunities. It might not make what you are going through any easier, but it gives purpose to the challenge…
Our time is the greatest gift we can give others. Be judicious about the people you allow into your life. They will either inspire you or bring you down. Be purposeful…
The basis for worry is our desire to be in control. When the moment arrives where you realize that God is in control of everything, worries disappear and you begin working with greater purpose. Cede your desire to control your outcomes, and pursue your destiny…

The genesis of criticism and cut-downs is the critics own self esteem. When you feel good about yourself inside, you look for the good in others. And if you find yourself in a position where you need to offer some constructive criticism, choose your timing well and use gentleness and self control when delivering the message.
Bring light into the lives of others…
We seek fulfillment in our hearts through the power of our dreams. When the day arrives that you discover your true purpose, nothing in the universe can stop you except yourself. There will be plenty of critics, naysayers and dream killers along the way, but pay no attention to them. This is your dream. Seek guidance from the Creator, get started and keep going…
