Opposition
Albert Einstein once wrote, “Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.”
Plenty of people stand ready to throw cold water on your dreams. It’s your life. You can choose to listen to the naysayers or to your inner voice, the voice that encourages you to pursue your destiny. Expect opposition, but don’t give in.
Outlook
How do you envision your future? Are you looking through a lens of optimism or fear?
Fear limits you. It prevents you from taking chances and fulfilling your dreams. Faith breeds self-confidence. As your confidence grows, the challenges you face will be met with the knowledge you will overcome them. And thrive…
Doubt
What do you do when you doubt yourself? Do you retreat, or press forward toward your goal?
Everyone has doubts. Even Olympic athletes have to overcome doubt. Fear of failure has killed more dreams than anything else. “What if I fail” is an all too familiar question. We must fight through our doubt, understanding that the road to success isn’t a paved road. It’s rocky. With potholes! And unknowns.
Press forward through doubt and discomfort. Listen to the voice of encouragement. That voice speaks the truth. Just keep going…
The Rebel in Us
Surrender is a word we do not like to consider. We like to believe we are in control.
Proverbs 16:9 tells us, “In their hearts, humans plan their course, but the Lord directs their steps.” God will have His way, no matter what we want. And He’s on our side, not out to get us. Trust Him.
We are naturally rebellious. When we align ourselves with the Spirit, and surrender our will, we find meaning and fulfillment…
Seeking…
Everyone is seeking, searching for two things: our identity and our purpose. In other words, “who am I and why am I here? We are trying to fill what 17th century French philosopher Blaise Pascal referred to as a “God-shaped vacuum.”
Ask yourself, what am I good at? What causes my heart to overflow in richness and fulfillment? This is a key to finding your purpose. Once you have found your true purpose, you know who you are…

Direction
We must asked ourselves this question: Am I going in the direction of where I want my life to turn out? We do have a choice to change directions if the answer is no. Change might cause some discomfort, yet traveling down an unknown road is exciting. Be brave. Take the step…
Be Heard
There are people in the world who feel like they don’t matter. The pandemic ravaged mental health, and every day there are people who don’t know where their next meal is coming from.
Everyone matters to God. He didn’t create us to forget about us. If your fellow man is hurting, help him and help him help himself. Speak up for the marginalized, the voiceless. Doing what’s right is rarely easy, and sometimes you have to stand alone. Stand up and be heard…
Transformation
Recently, we began a new year. This is a time where people decide they want to make changes in their lives, and “leave the old behind.”
Real transformation happens when we are ready and willing to change. It can’t be forced, and change is available to us every day, not just at the beginning of a new year. Our mindset will determine our outcome…
