Our culture is caught up in what we have and where we live, what I call our “status and stuff.” There is so much more to life than those things. The world is changed through the goodness in the heart of mankind…

Positive Thinking
Millions of books have been written about positive thinking. Millions more will be written. And we know too well that popular saying, “Let go. Let God.” That sounds great until you have to actually do it.
Ceding our desire to control is scary. We want our lives to have happy endings, so we try to control outcomes. Controlling things we have no control over doesn’t work.
Our Creator gives us control over one thing: our attitude. Keep yours focused on whatever is good, right and noble. That’s better than any self-help book…
Risky Business
We take risks every single day. For example, when we drive our car, we assume the risk that the other drivers will obey the law. If we have an accident, it doesn’t stop us from driving again.
God created each of us for a unique purpose. If we choose to not follow what’s been placed on our heart, we live an unfulfilled life full of frustrations.
Take a chance. Expect setbacks. Pursue your purpose with everything you have in you. You will succeed if you don’t quit, because God doesn’t lose. Ever…
Connection
My approach when I meet new people is to be unguarded and open. I accept others as they are and where they are in life. Through openness, I’m able to connect with people in a deeper, more meaningful way than just surface conversations.
People are carrying a lot of pain. They need connection and compassion, not judgment. We are in this life together. Be a bridge builder, not a destroyer…
Mistaken Identity
All of us have a past, and we have a list of missteps we have taken. Hopefully we have learned and grown from our mistakes, and we have changed. Yet, there will be people who still treat us like we are the same person we were. Let those people go. They don’t know you, nor do they want to know the real you…
Vision
A person with a vision for his future, combined with a deep drive to succeed will succeed. A person with no vision for their life will just drift…
Projection
Insecure people try to change us into someone they want us to be, rather than encouraging us to be the best version of ourselves we want to grow into. True change happens from within.
We are who we are. No one can take that from us…
Text Messages
Have you ever sent a text and not gotten a quick reply? Some people get upset when they don’t receive an immediate answer.
Don’t be one of those people. Be secure in knowing the other person might be busy in that moment, maybe their phone isn’t with them, or perhaps a short-term crisis just hit them and they aren’t able to reply.
Texting is for quick check-ins, not real communication. Speaking with the other person is communicating with them…
Limitations
Other people like to set limitations on your life. The negative talk could come from a “friend,” a family member, or even your spouse! Do not allow their fear of living to stop you from pursuing your dreams.
God alone has authority over your life. He decides what limitations we might have, not other people…
