Objectivity

Are able to look at a situation and see it for what it really is, without bias or prejudice? What about other people? Doing this is an acquired skill.

People are judging constantly. Their opinions are swayed by what they hear from the media and from friends and acquaintances. This misinformation can blind us from the truth.

Clear your mind of judgment. See things as they are, not as you believe them to be. Ask God for help to develop this type of mindset. Freedom from judgment is freedom indeed…

Earn It

We value what we earn. Investing our time and energy into something that produces a worthwhile outcome makes us feel good, makes us proud.

Coasting through life and accepting whatever life sends our way will dull the senses. We need mental stimulation. We need to be challenged. We learn from our mistakes. Success is never a straight line. There are curves, speed bumps and setbacks along the road less traveled. Those who succeed are the ones who keep going.

If you are experiencing a setback in your journey, I encourage you to pick yourself up and move forward. Even a little progress is progress…

Believe It Or Not

People have belief systems. Some of our beliefs are incontrovertible such as gravity or that the earth revolves around the sun. We know these things to be true, whether we understand them or not.

There are other things we want to believe. It doesn’t matter if what we believe is untrue. All that matters is that we believe it. You might believe something about your least favorite politician. You might believe it because you have been blinded by hatred. This will limit you.

Approach life with an open mind. Be willing to question everything. Challenge your beliefs and be open enough to change your mind when necessary…

Selling or Telling

When we tell people something, we expect them to believe us. But why wouldn’t they believe us?

Our reputation is extremely important when we are dealing with people. If we have the reputation of being one who exaggerates, the other party might be skeptical of what we are saying. Should our reputation be impeccable, then our credibility is secure.

Take inventory of what others think of your word. It might be telling you something…

Scarcity

Is your mindset one of abundance or scarcity? We become what we think about, so you and I are manifesting our thoughts into our reality.

My encouragement to you is to dream big, audacious dreams. Do not make your focus on money. Put your energy into fulfillment. This will keep your outcomes aligned with your values.

Poverty and dread are mindsets. So are health and wellness. Focus abundantly…

Rude Awakening

It seems our society has devolved into a culture of rudeness. People hide behind computer screens and say some ugly things to others with no repercussions. Politeness has always been admired by us in books, movies and in real life, so how did we get here?

People are stressed to the max. The cost of living has skyrocketed, everyone is in a rush, and we don’t have time to be polite. Yet, I say we do have time. We just don’t make the time.

Slow down a little. Make the time to connect with others. Be kind and polite, even to those who don’t deserve it. They probably need your kindness the most…

If Only

Many of us have heard people use the “if only” excuse. You know what I’m referring to. If only I was taller, more athletic, smarter, I had a better boss, better parents. The list could go on forever. They are simply petty put-downs, but we aren’t putting ourselves down even though it sounds that way.

God created us exactly how He wanted us to be. Each of us has been given unique gifts and talents. He expects us to use them to bring glory to Him, not ourselves. Glory means “high renown or honor won by notable achievements.” The glory goes to God because it was He who gave us the ability.

If you have been guilty of using the “if only” excuse, I encourage you to get rid of it. Eliminate it from your thinking. You are being critical of The One who created you, not yourself…

In My Head

We are thinking every minute of every day. Our minds continue working while we sleep. We are unable to turn our minds off.

What we fill our brains with will dictate our thoughts. Fill it when junk and you begin to think in a small, distorted way. Filling your mind with rich history, art and The Bible will turn your thoughts to greatness for the greater good.

Keep your mind clear of negativity. Turn the news shows off. Read and absorb the works of Thoreau, Wilde, the Apostle Paul and others. Then, notice the change…

Figure it Out

There is always a way to accomplish what you really want. Think creatively. See the situation from many angles. Talk it through with people and listen to their perspective. You do not have to do what anyone suggests, but it might be a good idea to consider what others think.

And always remember that the mind is your powerful connection to the spiritual realm. And you can do anything you set your mind to…
