Waiting

So if you’re waiting on God, wait on Him right to the end. Hos. 12:6, “Wait on your God continually.” Wait until God answers.

Trust

Letting go doesn’t mean giving up, but rather accepting that there are things that cannot be – Unknown

It is difficult to let go of something that you have put a lot of heart, soul and energy into. However, you have to trust and believe deep in your heart that the Lord knows what's best for you.

In your favor, the lord will strategically remove you from a place that wouldn't bear fruit AND position you in a path that will produce much fruit.

When you let go of something that could be, you become open to the possibility of what will be.

Happy Thursday!

Motivation

Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going - Jim Rohn

If you are able to get your feet off the ground, great! But the bigger challenge is knowing how to sustain your momentum after taking off!

Be cautious of what your momentary habits are so you are not dampening the initial zeal in your journey!

Let's win today!

Move on

I have memories - but only a fool stores his past in the future. ~David Gerrold

It's amazing how much of our yesterdays that we physically, emotionally and mentally carry w/ us into our future.
Do not let your shadow walk you. You are not a slave of and to the past.

Begin to step out of the victimized mindset and walk in the victory and freedom that you possess.

Happy "Thriving" Tuesday!

Listen

One advantage of talking to yourself is that you know at least somebody’s listening."
— Franklin P. Jones

A lot of conversations that are held between two people are one-sided. Often times, the person talking just needs a listening ear, NOT a judge, jury or teacher! They just need to vent; they just need to be heard.

Don't be that person who always has something to say about what someone else should do about the situation that they are in. Be the person that always has an ear to listen ;).

Happy "Mighty" Monday!

Mountains

It isn't the mountain ahead that wears you out; it's the grain of sand in your shoe. - unknown

The journey may be hard, the road may be long... But the strength of God will carry you through the heavy times that feel unbearable and difficult to walk out.

If you can see your mountain, focus on that and try hard to neglect the feeling of the weight of the momentary challenges. It all will come to pass!

Happy "Selah" Sunday!

Focus

Every now and then go away, have a little relaxation, for when you come back to your work your judgment will be surer. Go some distance away because then the work appears smaller and more of it can be taken in at a glance and a lack of harmony and proportion is more readily seen. - da Vinci

It's healthy to clear your head while working; as it sets you up on focusing on what's at hand.

Friday

Television's perfect. You turn a few knobs, a few of those mechanical adjustments at which the actors are so proficient, and lean back and drain your mind of all thought. And there you are watching the bubbles in the primeval ooze. You don't have to concentrate. You don't have to react. You don't have to remember. You don't miss your brain because you don't need it. Your heart and liver and lungs continue to function normally. Apart from that, all is peace and quiet. You are in the zone. And if some bored minded person comes along and says you look like a fly on a can of garbage, pay him no mind. He probably hasn't got the price of a television set.- unknown

Haha.... Thought this was funny! Happy Friday !

Don't give in

“A silly idea is current that good people do not know what temptation means. This is an obvious lie. Only those who try to resist temptation know how strong it is.

A man who gives in to temptation after five minutes simply does not know what it would have been like an hour later.

That is why bad people, in one sense, know very little about badness. They have lived a sheltered life by always giving in.”
C.S. Lewis

Good character

If you want the truth to go round the world, you must hire an express train to pull it; but if you want a lie to go round the world, it will fly. It is as light as a feather, and a breath will carry it. It is well said in the old proverb,'a lie will go round the world while truth is putting its boots on - unknown

Keeping your word and maintaining the truth is probably one of the easiest ways to build credibility. Its also one of the simplest ways to show character and integrity.

Show some good and trustworthy character today!
Happy Wednesday!!

Jealousy

Jealous people are like crickets; they make a lot of noise .... you can hear but never see them, then you walk right by them and they’re quiet. Cowards!!!

Your life is yours and governed by the hand of God. No apologies for the blessings of the Lord upon you. Instead, praise, be thankful, be grateful.

Those who can't handle your success and prosperity can take up their issues with God!

Enjoy your Tuesday!

Motivation

It’s always up to you and the choices you make. Work on the things you can change and never dwell on the things you can’t. You choose… ‘results’ or ‘excuses’ it’s YOUR choice! No one has ever given their BEST and regretted it. GO HARD NO EXCUSES.

Of course it will not be easy...No one said that it would, but just know that nothing beats the feeling of accomplishment.

Do not give up! Once you learn to quit, it becomes a habit…. so KEEP GOING!!”

Happy "Mighty" Monday!

Worry-Free

Stress is an ignorant state. It believes that everything is an emergency. ~ Natalie Goldberg

Do not get caught up in the stress of things.....the trash of modern life — we all generate it but if you don't dispose of it properly, it will pile up and overtake your life.

Learn now how to dispose of stress, and keep your territories worry-free!

Happy Sunday!

Your worth..

Know your worth. It makes no sense to be second in someone’s life, when you know you’re good enough to be first in someone else’s. -unknown

As long as you look for someone else to validate who you are by seeking their approval, you are setting yourself up for disaster. You have to be whole and complete in yourself. No one can give you that. You have to know who you are - what others say is absolutely irrelevant.

Know your worth!!!!

9/7/12

Happy days

Enjoy everything that happens in your life, but never make your happiness or success dependent on an attachment to any person, place or thing - Wayne Dyer

It's important to find what makes you cheerful....and when you do, cherish it. Keep it sacred because in challenging times when you need it, it'll be there for you....within reach.

Never depend on anyone or anything for your joy!

It's Friday!

Example

How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world. ~Anne Frank

It's the little things that you do daily that make a difference.

Meditate on your thoughts so your actions can be an example

Happy Thursday!

Right....!!

Wouldn't you like to have a magic phrase that would stop arguments, eliminate ill feeling, create good will, and make the other person listen attentively? Yes? All right. Here it is: "I don't blame you one iota for feeling as you do. If I were you I would undoubtedly feel just as you do." - unknown

Yea.... If only this worked for everyone! Haha

Happy Wednesday!

Family

“We could learn a lot from crayons; some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, while others bright, some have weird names, but they all have learned to live together in the same box.” - Unknown

And so it is with your family, friends and colleagues. All different but with the same address (of some sort).

Learn to live respectfully together, reason sensibly together, and work well as a team.....despite your differences.

Happy "thriving" Tuesday!

Sorry?

An apology may be a sign of weakness, but having the courage to go up to someone and say sorry is a strength!

And when you do, don't say sorry because I'm hurt. Say sorry because you're hurt.

Relationships are personal (or should be) in that when the other person is feeling blue over something you did or said; the way you handle the situation will determine your state of remorse!

Have a great Monday!

9/2/12

Faith

Faith is like a seed; plant it in your heart and God will give you the harvest at the appointed time.

It isn’t the ability to believe long and far into the misty future..... It is simply taking God at His Word and taking the next step.

Faith begins where the will of God is known..... And believing that God is going to take you places before you even get there.

Faith is all about who you trust in.

Happy Sunday ;)

Stick through it

"Stick to a friend a little in the wrong." — John Randolph

How often do we walk away from a friend when they have made one, two, three or even fifteen mistakes?

How often has God turned his back on us when we have done one, two, three or even fifteen things wrong?

We are so quick to set boundaries around our relationships and forget that our model is based upon God's love on us ...

Selah!
