Potential

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…

Tall Tales

All of us have heard fishing stories before, and the stories get better every time the person tells it.

But what about the stories we tell ourselves? We are lying to ourselves when we tell ourselves we aren’t good enough, that we shouldn’t try anything new because we will fail. The truth is, God created us. We are good enough. He wants us to succeed.

God didn’t create us and then forget about us. Trust Him…

Limitations

Other people like to set limitations on your life. The negative talk could come from a “friend,” a family member, or even your spouse! Do not allow their fear of living to stop you from pursuing your dreams.

God alone has authority over your life. He decides what limitations we might have, not other people…

And if you find yourself in a position where you need to offer some constructive criticism, choose your timing well and use gentleness and self control when delivering the message.

Bring light into the lives of others…

Work

Unless you were born a trust fund child, you have to work. Our work should be more than just a job; more like a calling. A calling gives purpose to our jobs, fulfills our heart’s desires and sustains us even on our worst days. If your work isn’t fulfilling you, you might not be aligned with the calling our Creator placed on your life. Something to consider…

Blind Spots

We all have blind spots, things we can’t see or refuse to see in ourselves. It’s important to have friends who will gently point them out to us, especially if our blind spots prevent us from being our best. Don’t be defensive or make excuses. Be proactive about doing better…
