All of us have unique gifts. Whether or not we use them is up to us. This also applies to how we use them.
If you are a good communicator, are you spreading light and encouragement, or fear and dread? The message will be taken seriously because you have the gift of communication.
Use your God-given potential the way He wants you to. After all, God is the one who gave you your unique gifts…
All of us are chasing something. What do you want, fame, money or prestige? Maybe your desires are much simpler.
It’s important to remember why you are pursuing something so diligently. My encouragement to you is to chase fulfillment, not “stuff.” Fulfilling your inner, most strong desires will get you peace and accomplishment…
For many years, I have written and spoken on leadership. There are a lot of characteristics that make up a good leader, but today I will only focus on one: compassion.
A compassionate leader thinks about the people he or she leads. That type of leader recognizes that an organization will only be as good as the people, and that people need to know they are important, they are valued. And a compassionate leader must be authentic. People can see through bullshit a mile away!
If you are in a leadership role, I encourage you to lead with compassion. You will get the most out of your people by leading this way, and you’ll have greater personal job satisfaction…
Achieving excellence is caused by consistently doing our very best. No one gets there quickly. To achieve excellence requires time, hard work and commitment.
Average work doesn’t cut it. Strive for excellence…
Are you aware there is a spiritual battle going on around us that we can’t see? That’s right. When horrible things happen, there is a spiritual cause. Just because we can’t see it doesn’t make it less real.
We have an invisible enemy who desperately tries to destroy us. He has many weapons: death, disease, addiction and more. He doesn’t hesitate to use any and all of them.
The good news is, we worship a God with unlimited power. No demon can stand up to Him, nor can they thwart God’s plans for our lives.
We access God’s unlimited power through prayer. Use it. Often…
All of us experience difficulties in life. This side of eternity is imperfect. Here is my perspective on life’s challenges.
God allows us to go through the troughs of life. He is in control, and it’s important to remember that God doesn’t cause bad things to happen. He allows it. He is using it to prepare us for something more while, hopefully we shift our focus more onto Him.
God is on our side. Always. And that includes the ugly periods of life…
Today’s culture says, “look at me! Look at how great I’m doing.” I love to celebrate others success. I’m happy when my friends and acquaintances are doing well.
But the ones who get my respect are those who do things quietly. They do the necessary work, and don’t care about getting attention or credit. They simply perform.
Which one are you? It’s certainly something to consider. Humility is attractive. Inflated egos are a turnoff…
Seek discomfort. Personal growth comes when you relentlessly pursue your dreams and purpose. You will leave some people behind along the way. That’s okay.
You are thinking higher…
All of us feel different from everyone else. We are, and that’s a good thing.
God loves variety, so He made each of us uniquely. As human beings, we try to conform to the crowd so we “fit in.” We were not created to conform. We are here to stand out!
Embrace your uniqueness. Be different on purpose…
We have instant coffee, microwave food, Instacart grocery delivery, and instant messaging! We have gotten accustomed to living life at the speed of light.
Life takes work. We must apply ourselves to earn what we gain. Nothing is guaranteed, nor should it be. We make incremental progress daily to achieve bigger gains in the future.
The truth is, we only value what we earn, and rarely does anything great happen in an instant…
