THE IMPORTANCE OF MINDSET: WHAT IS YOUR TUDE?

“The longer We live, the more we realize the impact of Attitude on life. Attitude to us is more important than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than appearances, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company, church or home.  The remarkable thing is that we have a choice everyday regarding the Attitude we will embrace for that day. We can not change our past. We can not change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We can not change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our Attitude . we are convinced that life is 10% of what happens to us and 90% how we react to it. And so it is with us. We are in charge of our Attitudes ” How does it make you feel when you meet someone with a positive ‘can-do’ attitude? Energized? Positive? Enthused? You know the types of individuals I mean – their glass is always half full…not half empty.They’re always looking for the “oppor...

THERE IS BEAUTY IN FINISHING STRONG

Image
Recently I decided to go through a social experiment on myself which required me to focus on doing just one thing. For an entire week, let nothing bother me. A goal that at first seemed exciting and slightly impossible, but one that lead to a new perspective on life. I also had one of the best weeks emotionally than I’ve had in a very long time, and the best part is it didn’t cost me a thing. To never give up takes more work than just a choice to do so. It requires dedication and an unrelenting commitment to making sure that not only is a task completed but also done right. Starting new projects are always fun. Whether its a fun DIY or something you’ve been yearning to do for a long time.   The promise of being a part of creating something amazing fills us with a rush that can never be duplicated, but after the excitement wears off we are left with feelings of discouragement and painfully dragging ourselves to the finish line. It’s hard...

The Irreplaceable Value Of A True Friend

Image
“When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand.” What is life without the people you spend it with? Whether it’s family, significant others or friends, all of those relationships are built on the values of friendship. And I know one thing is for sure: I wouldn’t be where I am today without my friendships. As I've gotten older, I've realized that friends are harder to come by. I'm not talking about the fleeting friendships we make with coworkers and other classmates, but true friendship where you know for certain that someone has your back and you want to give them everything they deserve. It's a platonic friendship where you know that at the end of the day, there's someone you can call and talk freely with. The way I see it...

SEASON OF WAITING? TRUST THE PROCESS

Image
Waiting is one of the most difficult things to do, whether we’re waiting for a bus, a phone call or an answered prayer.  We become impatient and wonder why everyone else is holding us up and keeping us from getting what we  want.  It seems like the more we want something, the harder it is to wait – and we even get impatient with God!  But we have to remember that God’s timing is different than our own.  He sees things from a different perspective and sees the whole picture, not just what we want, but what is best for us in the grand plan for our lives.  All is part of a divine order and will be done in its own right and proper time.  Of course, when we are hoping, praying and waiting for something, it’s easy to forget this.  After all, waiting is “remaining inactive in one place while expecting something.”  And being inactive means feeling powerless and at the mercy of the world – nobody likes that feeling.  But we ...

WHAT IS YOUR WHY?

Image
Ever thought about what your purpose is in life? Some of us live our entire lives trying to figure out the purpose of our existence. Some people fail, and some people succeed. And then there are those people who know their purpose, but still they get diverted from them Have you ever wondered, “Why am I here?”“Who am I meant to be and what am I meant to do?” We all ask these type of questions at one point or another, and the answers are certainly different for everyone. Regardless what you connect with as a “higher purpose” or meaningful life, a sense of purpose and passion will not only l ead to greater well-being but can help us be at our best and live more fully. Finding your reason WHY , you’re PURPOSE is essential if you want to achieve success. If you don’t have a strong REASON behind your actions, your actions are less likely to create quality results. If you do have a strong “ WHY ” you have all the Fuel you need to drive you forwar...
