Technology

Some days I love technology, while other times I loathe it. For example, last night I spoke to several people in Kenya on FaceTime. That experience still astounds me. How I can connect with someone 8,544 miles away is remarkable.

Then there are those days where my WiFi connectivity leaves much to be desired. I want to throw it away and start over! But I don’t.

God gave us the marvel of technology. Some have perverted it. Let’s use it for good…

Broken

Everywhere you look you can see brokenness. From people to the world we live in, nothing lasts. Yet, it is possible to maintain an optimistic mindset amid the brokenness.

Look for opportunities to serve others. Lifting other people while they are in their own struggles will energize you.

Be a giver, no a taker. Leaders have a servants heart…

Progress

We set goals and objectives for our lives. We want to feel like we are growing and progressing. But old habits can be hard to break.

Commit to changing one thing that doesn’t get you where you’re trying to go. Stay with it. If you fall backwards, start again. You aren’t defeated until you decide you are.

If nothing changes, nothing changes…

Known

Do you have someone in your life who knows you, someone who really knows who you are? If you do, treasure them. Someone who knows you and accepts you as you are and where you are without judgment is a rare find.

All of us have a deep desire to be seen, to be heard and to be known. Yet we can create facades to keep others from getting too close. We insulate ourselves to protect ourselves.

By releasing judgment from our minds frees us to see people clearly. Let go of needing to feel protected from the world. Be yourself, your best self. The world is judging anyway. ..

Thoughts

What was going through your mind right before you decided to read this? Maybe your plans for today, Christmas shopping, something that is troubling you, or perhaps you were thinking about your family. The point is, you were thinking something.

We have control over our thoughts. That’s right! We get to decide what to think. And if we believe our thoughts, then they manifest into the world.

Focus on thinking about what you want in your life. Believe it to be true. Then watch it happen…
