Valued

What are you worth? I’m not talking about how much money you have. I mean the value of your life.

I grew up being told I was “worthless,” that I “would never amount to anything” by my parents. Today I believe they were projecting onto me how they felt about themselves.

The truth is, we are all so much more valuable than we sometimes believe. What are your eyes worth, or your brain? Would you trade your arms for one million dollars? Of course not!

Take inventory of yourself. Believe in all the good you have been given by our Creator, and never sell yourself short…

Words

You have probably heard the saying, “your word is your bond.” That’s a strong statement. It means you can be trusted, and you won’t break a promise.

Trust is earned. To gain the trust of others, our actions need to align with what we say, and along with that we must show consistency.

It’s a good idea to think before making a promise. By doing so, your word will be good enough…

Control Freaks

Do you know any control freaks, or are you one yourself? You know the type of person I’m referring to. Everything has to be done their way or the highway.

Those types of people can be difficult to be around. Collaboration is typically the best way to get things accomplished. Listen to the control freaks ideas, but always go with what’s right…

Stories

Everyone has a story, but not everyone believes they have a story worth telling. Nothing could be further from the truth. Whatever you are going through, from family trouble to cancer and everything in between , your struggles can help others who are going through the same.

This is one of the reasons I love podcasting. Listening to people share their stories, giving hope to the broken, desperate hearts aligns perfectly with the theme of my podcast. The Determined People Podcast is spreading encouragement, strength and hope to a world in desperate need of it…

Recognition

We live in a “look at me” culture. Being the center of attention has overtaken common sense in some cases. Do you remember the so-called “influencer” who videoed himself licking a public toilet bowl? He has no influence over me.

Focus on doing what’s right, being kind and compassionate without worrying about getting the attention. These characteristics never go out of style…

Quiet

There is something peaceful about early morning before the busyness of the day begins. We need quiet in our lives to clear our minds and our thoughts.

Quiet makes some people uncomfortable. They revel in the noise. I encourage you, if you are one of those people, learn to be comfortable in the quiet. The noise of the world will always be there waiting for you to return…

Ask!

Are you fulfilled in your life? If you answered yes, congratulations! But if your answer is no, you have the power to change your life.

A fulfilling life has nothing to do with money. It’s about service. Serving others changes you. There’s something magical and unexplainable about the feeling you get when you do something for someone who can never repay you.

If you aren’t getting all you want from life, ask for more. Then go do the work…
