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…
Last night, a dear friend of mine from high school days passed away suddenly. Although I hadn’t seen her in 25 years, I still treasure our memories and hold her dear in my heart.
The point is, live your life like there is no tomorrow, because there might not be…

Take a good look at yourself. Make a list of your talents and strengths. Thank the Creator for giving them to you.
When you focus on what you have instead of what others have, your thoughts align with your purpose. Coveting a talent someone else has takes away from your joy in the moment. God hardwired you exactly the way He wanted you. Go with it!
All of us are unique. It’s time to put your uniqueness on display…
Timing is everything. When you need to have a difficult conversation with someone, choosing the right time makes all the difference.
God’s timing is perfect. That said, I don’t always like His timing in the moment, but it turns out the best when I accept it. He really does know best.
If you are in a challenging period of your life, take a minute to thank God for the lessons you are learning. He never punishes us, only disciplines. Discipline means teaching, even when we don’t like it…
All of us have a deeper desire than we are living. We have been imbued by the Creator to live for a greater purpose, to be part of something bigger than ourselves. What stops us from pursuing it?
Faith can be a scary thing. We step into an abyss, not knowing what’s next or where we are going. What might seem scary can also be exhilarating. Our mindset in pursuit of our reason for living sets the tone. Do we have a fear mindset, or one of great faith? We get to choose.
Fear can paralyze you. Faith will energize you. Choose faith and live higher…
