Trying something new is exciting! When you take the time to grow yourself, commit to being the best. You may not be the second coming of Picasso or Clapton, but why not give it your best? The world deserves it…

Pretenders
Did you ever play make believe games when you were a child? I certainly did. I would put a cape on and pretend I was Superman. One time I jumped off the roof of our house and pretended to fly. It didn’t end well…
Some people continue make believe into adulthood. They might act a little greater than they really are, trying to impress others.
Allowing other people to see the real you is freeing. It’s true that some people might not like you, but it doesn’t matter. You have to like you, and that requires being comfortable with who you are.
So accept yourself as you are while constantly trying to improve yourself. God created you and me, so we are good enough…
The Right Choice
All of us have made decisions in our lives that haven’t served us well. Sometimes we make the same decisions repeatedly, knowing they are wrong. Forgive yourself if you have been guilty of this.
The choice of how to live our lives is ours and ours alone. We can make decisions that lead us to light and life, or we can pursue darkness. The desire to change begins with abandoning old ways, replacing them with new, better ways. But it’s up to us to decide…
Outliers
Do you ever feel like an outlier? You know, someone who is different from the rest.
All of us are outliers. That’s one of the things that makes the mosaic of planet earth so full of beauty. Each of us is uniquely gifted and talented. Recognize your gifts and put them to work to create good in the world. You really are special…
The Madness
Everywhere you look it seems the world has gone mad. The craziest among us get the attention, and how dare we stand up for what’s right because we are marginalizing the minority.
Yet I believe in the goodness of mankind. There is good everywhere, too. You just have to look for it. And if you can’t find it? Be good…
Repeated Failures
Did you ever try to accomplish something over and over again, simply to become frustrated and irritated? We all have.
Don’t quit. Step away from what you are doing and take a walk. Maybe a short nap is in order. You must refresh your mind and change your thinking. A solution is waiting for you, as long as you’re willing to keep going…
My Interview With The Reverend Dr. Daryl Horton
The Reverend Dr. Daryl Horton has a remarkable humility about him. In our conversation, we discussed his calling to the ministry, his challenges getting there, the “rules of religion,” and how God has always shown up. Have you ever wondered how a pastor gives a eulogy for someone they don’t know? Or are you curious about how prayer works? It’s all there and more in our interview.
Goal Tending
Do you set goals? Some people make New Years resolutions which are, in essence, goals. Yet they aren’t the same.
Resolutions are things you want to resolve within yourself. Perhaps it’s a behavior you wish to change.
Goals are achievement-oriented. Goals are definable, measurable, and they should stretch you to reach them. This is one of the ways we grow.
Set goals for yourself, and check your progress regularly. Then look back after a period of time and see how far you’ve progressed.
Two Bicycle Mechanics
Do you find yourself believing that if you were better educated you would pursue the greatness you know is inside of you?
Consider the story of two uneducated bicycle mechanics from Dayton, Ohio. You know them as the Wright brothers. Had they allowed their lack of formal schooling to hold them back, I wouldn’t be writing about them today.
Never underestimate the power of your imagination…
Consistency
Do you change who you are to fit in with the crowd? Don’t do it.
You were created to be uniquely you. Be proud of who you are. And if you feel like the group doesn’t accept you, that’s fine. It’s not your group…
