People are confused nowadays. They are confused because they believe their worth is tied to their status, money, zip code or position in life. They are gravely mistaken.
Our worth lies in the one who created us. God planned each and every one of us exactly how He wanted us to be. This is the foundation of our worth.
External stuff will die, but our relationship with the Creator is eternal…
Denial is real. People are fearful of judgement so they whitewash the truth to others and to themselves. But there is no escaping the truth.
Face your life and all of its ugliness, but also it’s beauty. Both coexist and both can be improved upon. Work on what troubles you about your life, and work to improve what’s going well.
I encourage you to “get real” with yourself. Start today…
Believe in yourself. God created you for a greater purpose. He hasn’t forgotten you or abandoned you.
The world will knock you down. Get back up and get knocked down again. Keep getting up as long as it takes. Find your inner strength to accomplish your destiny. The world cannot defeat you because you have the Creator of the universe on your side.
Don’t go to your grave with your song still in you. The world needs to hear from you…
There are no coincidences. Everything has a purpose and meaning behind it. We don’t have the luxury of knowing all that is going on. We simply have to trust in something greater than ourselves…
If you ever start feeling sorry for yourself, take a moment to reflect on all the good in your life. It’s there but you might overlook it because you are focused inward.
Think about others and what their needs might be. Place emphasis on meeting those needs if you are able. By doing for others your spirits will be lifted in ways I cannot describe. Soon your pity party will turn into a real party. Your moment of sorrow will be eliminated.
Our time here is limited. Leave your mark and create your legacy…
Nowadays I see a lot of people who label themselves as “empaths.” They believe they feel what others are feeling, no matter the circumstances.
All of us have intuition. It’s a gift from the Creator. Our intuition protects us from bad people and dangerous situations. We feel alerted in the moment.
Empathy is shared experience. Who better understands what it’s like to be married to an alcoholic than another person who is, too? The only people who know how it feels to lose a child are people who have lost a child.
The pain and struggle you have experienced in life can be used to help others. In this way, pain is a gift, too. Don’t waste it…
We have a limited amount of time on this planet. We don’t know what day will be our last. And for approximately 150,000 people, today will be their last.
We waste so much time on meaningless things like television, games, surface conversations and just doing nothing. Millions of unfulfilled dreams have gone to the grave without the dreamer ever giving it a shot.
Change course if you are one of the dreamers. Your time is now…
I have made more mistakes than I can count. Thomas Edison failed over 10,000 times when searching for a long-burning filament. Abraham Lincoln ran for public office eight times before finally succeeding.
None of us fail from our mistakes. We learn from them. Getting things right the first time happens but it’s a rarity.
If you are in the middle of a struggle, I encourage you to keep going. You get closer to a breakthrough every time you try and don’t succeed…
One thing I learned from experience is that most people have agendas. They want something from others and then they are through with them.
I’m not being negative or rude, I’m stating an observation. Perhaps you know someone of influence or prestige, and someone else wants access to them. It’s not a crime, but you get to choose whether or not to grant access to the person.
I encourage you to drop any agenda you might have. Meet people where they are, as they are. You will gain so much more in your relationships without agendas…
You have an idea. It’s been brewing in you for a while. You think about it all the time. So what’s next?
Preparation is a good and necessary step. But at some point you have to act. Step off the ledge in an act of faith and put your plan in motion. Expect things to go well, but expect setbacks and challenges, too. They are part of the mix.
Stay focused on where you’re going. Success isn’t easy. Yet if your purpose is good, right and noble, you will succeed. Don’t question yourself. Push through your desire to quit. It’s hard to beat a person who simply refuses to give up…
