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…
Who do you spend your time with? Are your conversations with them engaging, or are they focused on pointing out problems and filling your life with negativity?
Time is our most valuable commodity. We only have a certain amount of time to make a difference in the world. Our friends should be people who inspire us and bring out the best in us. And we have an obligation to do the same for them.
Be protective of your time spent with others. It’s better to get wrapped up in a great book than to waste your time with the wrong people. They will always be there if you choose to go back…
Do you value yourself? You are worth so much, and we oftentimes don’t consider our true value.
Our brains make over 25,000 independent decisions per second. Mind boggling, isn’t it? Our bodies are physical marvels in the way they work without us commanding them to. But there’s more.
Our worth is found in recognizing that a perfect God created us. In fact, God thought of every single one of us before the earth was formed. If that doesn’t blow your mind, I don’t know what will.
People search for their worth through their zip codes, bank balances, their position and power. These are hollow and will not fill the void. Unfulfilled, people turn to unhealthy habits to numb the pain.
Find your value in healthy habits. The world will still be here…
Everyone needs people, good people in their lives. You know who I’m referring to. I’m talking about people who tell us what we need to hear, not what we want to hear. We have acquaintances for surface conversations.
Loneliness is a companion for many. So is the darkness of the night. People are struggling to get through life and all it’s challenges.
If you are reading this and feel like you are stuck, you aren’t. Step into the light. Feel it’s warmth all through your body. Let hope spring forth from deep inside your spirit. It’s there. Find it…
Have you heard of people who are called an “overnight success?” Usually those are people in the entertainment business. But there is no success that happens overnight, regardless of the industry.
We see the outcomes, the great achievements. What we don’t see are the lonely times, the failures, the inner doubts and frustrations. Successful people continue trying when things aren’t going well. They simply refuse to accept defeat.
To be successful, you must find what you are meant to do and be willing to work when others aren’t…
My car came equipped with a Global Positioning System, commonly known as a GPS. I’m not sure how I ever figured my way to my destination before, but I guess I was somehow successful.
Many people are wandering aimlessly through life. They don’t need a GPS because any road they go down will allow them to wander and roam. But we aren’t meant to live without purpose. We are hardwired for more.
If you are searching for your purpose, take inventory of what you are good at, and what you enjoy doing. This is how God made you. Once you figure out your greater purpose, use The Bible as your GPS…
Approach everything in life with confidence. Believe in yourself, do the work and don’t give up. If someone else receives credit for something you did, let it go. There’s no need to call attention to yourself.
God sees everything we do. Let’s work to please Him, not the world…
