Accepting Your Season of Fulfillment

Accepting-Your-Season-of-Fulfillment.jpg

Many people are looking for “more” out of life.  People are working longer, harder, and smarter to get a sense of fulfillment in their life.

What is fulfillment?

 

Fulfillment is defined as a satisfaction or happiness as a result of fully developing one’s ability and character.

Fulfillment doesn’t mean you are finished growing and developing as a person.  Fulfillment is being content where you are, but patiently waiting and working towards your next advancement in life.

We all have seen people trudge through jobs, marriages, and life with a discontented spirit.

Are you enjoying your season of fulfillment?

It’s Your Season!

 

Why is it your season?

This is your season because no matter what you may be experiencing, there is a positive in every negative.

Find contentment where you are, but more importantly discover how to grow from every situation you encounter.

Accept your season of fulfillment.

Give Thanks

Give-Thanks.jpg

Whether we use words correctly or not, they carry power. There are two words we should be especially familiar with in our English language.

“Thank You.”

I have witnessed many people using these words frequently, but I also have witnessed people having a hard time saying these two simple words.

Over the years, I have asked people their thoughts about the word.  I have received a variety of answers regarding these two simple, but powerful words.

Some people believe that these words can be overused.  Others believe it should be mentioned as much as possible.  And there are a few who fall in between these two answers.

When you think about how many times throughout the day you say the words, “Thank You,” you will be surprised to know that we don’t say it enough.

Seriously, right now stop for one or two minutes and reflect.  How many times do you actually say the words “Thank You.”

Just about every time you interact with people there will be an opportunity to say, “Thank You.”

Why Say Thank You?

We all should say “Thank You” to show appreciation.

“A grateful heart is a healthy and happy heart, which will open countless doors of opportunity.”

My boys love singing and I caught them singing a song the other day.  The name of the song is “Give thanks.”  It comes from Psalm 107:1,

“Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His love endures forever.”

God is the father of all blessings.  I believe that is reason enough to say “Thank You” a thousand times a day.

God is the reason we are able to open our eyes in the morning.  He gives us strength throughout the day.  He is the reason why we re not where we use to be and why our future is brighter than our past and present.

For that reason, God I THANK YOU!

There are many reasons to give thanks.  I am also grateful to my wife and children for allowing me to be the King of my castle.  I thankful to my church family for the encouragement and support they provide in all aspect of my life.

Last but certainly not least, THANK YOU for reading.  Those who read my blogs week after week, THANK YOU!  If you have sent an encouraging word through email, Twitter, Facebook, or posted a comment; THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

I hope after this blog, you won’t miss an opportunity to say “Thank You” as well.

Question: What are you thankful for?  Leave your comments below.

Principles of a Strong Work Ethic

Principles-of-a-Strong-Work-Ethic3.png

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There is a short list of things that we actually need in life.

The short list consists of God, food, water, and sleep.  I would add to that short list, "A Strong Work Ethic."

As a child, I can remember having several chores such as washing dishes, vacuuming, mowing grass, washing dishes, etc.  I learned quickly the importance of work ethic.  My father and mother stressed doing my very best with any and every task.  I have carried this same work ethic with me into my adult tasks and responsibilities.

I was taught the following:

- Finish what you start,

- Do more than what’s expected of you,

- Go the extra mile, 

- Do your best, and

- Find the will to get it done.

How is your work ethic?

These days, everyone claims to have a strong work ethic.  After today’s blog, I want you to be able to clearly understand the meaning of ‘A Strong Work Ethic’ and also discover why you need it.

What is Work Ethic?

 

Work ethic is defined by two qualities = hard work and diligence.

Hard Work.  If we were to survey those who are successful, they have this quality.  People with ’Great Work Ethic’ will do whatever it takes to get the job done.  They will sacrifice all their time and effort to bring success to the task at hand.

What are your current responsibilities?  What are your dreams and aspirations?  Have you put enough hard work into these things?

Don’t compromise the success of your goals and objectives because you are not willing to work hard.

Diligence.  Diligence and hard work are frequently used interchangeably, but the words are both quite different.

Diligence can be hard work, but diligence is defined by our ability to persist.  We discussed this in Don’t Lose Heart (Click on link).

I can give my all once and work hard, but success takes consistent hard work more than once.  Hard work daily produces success.

Producing hard work daily requires perseverance and commitment.  This is defined as diligence.

Why You Need A Strong Work Ethic

 

1. To Build Character and Experience.  The more you practice being at your best with your work ethic, you will notice more effectiveness in your work ethic.  Eventually, great work ethic will naturally be part of who you are.  And no matter where you go in life, your great work ethic will follow you.  It will build your character.

2. To Increase Your Value.  When you work hard and are diligent about your hard work, you will discover an increase in your professional value.  Any organization is looking for people who have an exceptional work ethic, which means there will be more of a demand for your skills.

3. To Improve Your Financial Situation.  As you improve your value, your compensation will reflect your increased value in the marketplace.  The more income you receive will provide future opportunities for financial independence and wealth for you and your family.

What’s keeping you from achieving your desired level of success?

Work ethic determines your level of success.  Focus on bettering your work ethic.  You will thank yourself if you will take your work ethic to the next level.

Take Time to Disconnect

Take-Time-to-Disconnect.jpg

If you have a job, you are grateful because of the high unemployment rates in the past few years.  You may not be completely satisfied with your job, but you know having a job means you are able to pay the bills.

Most working individuals have either paid time off or vacation time.  Every year, employers offer their employees on average 9-14 days of PTO or vacation time per salary.com.

I’ve always been one to promote work.  I believe the words from 2 Thessalonians 3:10, “The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat.”  I believe there are only a few reasons why a person shouldn’t  work.  However, what is work if you cannot have a a little fun?

In addition, we are always talking on our cell phones, checking our emails, texting, or on our social media accounts.  Can you imagine going one day without any of these?

Multitasking, constant distractions, and responsibility overload has become a normal way of life.

It may be time to disconnect.

When I’m easily distracted or get a overall feeling of being swamped, it’s time for me to disconnect.

Do you know when it’s time for you to disconnect?

Whether you believe it or not, everyone needs to disconnect.

Here are 6 ways to disconnect:

1. Read a book.  When we read (depending on the book), it can create a calming influence for you.

2. Take a walk, run, or ride.  There is nothing like enjoying the beautiful creativity of God while getting a mixture of exercise and fresh air.

3. Turn off your phone, computer, or TV.  Get away from these devices and get some fresh air.

4. Establish a stress-free zone.  Create a place that will be free of any distractions.

5. Take a break.  It may be taking a few minutes away from work or you may need a few days, but take some time to rejuvenate and refresh your mind.

6. Set boundaries.  Set a time limit for when you will check or expose yourself to the technology you own.

When you are able to disconnect, you will discover your self living a more productive and prosperous life.

The INTUITION of a Leader

The-INTUITION-of-a-Leader1.jpg

I will never downplay making a decision based off of sound rationale and proven facts.  However, there are some times in life when you need good intuition.

We all have been in situations when we have had to depend on our intuition.  Times when you felt like you left the oven on or the house/car door unlock.  Maybe it was feeling like you left something undone at home or work.  We all have experienced these types of intuitions.

As leaders, we have the same intuitions.  I have had to use these intuitions as a husband, father, servant of God, business owner, etc.

My greatest leadership role is being a husband and father.  There are times when these roles require me to make quick decisions, specially being a father.

There are many lessons I have to teach my boys, but there isn’t an instruction manual with being a father.  So there are times when I have to use my intuition.

Have you had to use intuition as a leader?

As a leader, there are times when you will have to make tough decisions.  You may not have all the information you need or enough time to make a rationale decision, but you will need good intuition?

What is Intuition?

 

Intuition is a perception of facts or truth.

But where does this perception come in to play?  Perception has to do with paying attention, having an awareness, insight, or discernment.

Many times when I hear people use the word intuition with guessing or assuming.  This notion is far from the truth.

Although you may not have all the information needed to make a good objective decision, intuition is about using past experiences and insight from various situations to make the best decision possible.

There is no reason for you not to have great intuition as a leader.  If you are unsure about your intuition, today will reassure you or help you sharpen your intuition as a leader.  I would like to share 8 ways of sharpening your intuition as a leader.

8 Ways of Sharpening Your Intuition

 

1. Trust God.  God is the creator of all things.  He gives us the ultimate experience.

2. Make Time For Solitude.  It’s hard to make any decision when you are not at peace.  Which is why it is so important to find alone time to quiet your mind.

3. Create.  Creativity is a big part of intuition.  Creative people are the intuitive people in the world.  Being creative will help you to understand that there are many ways getting any job done. 

4. Listen To Your Inner Voice.  We all have said the phrase, “I should listen to my first thought.”  Or you may have said, “I should have listened to my gut instinct.”  Usually your inside voice is talking for a reason.  The reason is that it senses some type of familiarity with the decision you are attempting to make.  So, listen to it next time.

5. Observe Everything.  Take time and learn from everything that happens to you.  If you are observant it will help shape your intuitive energy by enhancing your experience.

6. Connect Deeply With Others.  One of the most important things a leader can do to sharpen his intuition is learn how to connect deeply with people.  A big component of leadership is learning to lead people with the right attitude, right actions, and right decision making.  

7. Enjoy Your Down Time.  Doing things you love will definitely improve your ability to make decisions.  This is quite different from making time for solitude.  Your down time can be anything fun and can include your family or friends.

8. Let Go Of Any Negativity.  Hanging on to your negativity leaves little room for your positive energy to flow.

Start practicing these 8 tips of sharpening your intuition.  Practicing these tips will help you make better intuitive decisions that will lead to successful outcomes.

Words from My Mother

Words-From-My-Mother.png

No matter who you are, you have been affected by a mother’s touch.  Every year we celebrate mothers on Mother’s Day, but I think we would all agree that mothers should be celebrated everyday

My mother has had a significant influence in my life.  Many things I have been blessed with come from the beauty and grace of my God sent mother.  She defines the inner and outer splendor described in Proverbs 31.

Proverbs 31:10 asked the question, “Who can find a virtuous woman?”

I didn’t find my mother, but God gave me virtuous woman when she birthed me into this world.  Aside from Christ my Savior, God definitely gave me one of the greatest gifts in the world in my mother.

She was instrumental in teaching me what to look for in the beautiful and virtuous woman I found 15 years ago.  My mother would always tell me, “If you find a woman who loves God, you will find a woman who will love you.”    I have now been married to my soul mate for a little over 12 years ago.

Have you been touched by the nurturing love of a mother?

I hope you have a great relationship with your mother.  If not, after today’s blog I hope you call your mom and tell her how much you love her.  Whether you have a great relationship with your mother or not, work on enriching the love between you and your mother.

Proverbs 31 isn’t the only scripture that describes qualities of a reputable woman.  Another scripture that will help understand your mother’s love and deepen the love for your mother is 1 Corinthians 13.  1 Corinthians 13: 1-12 says,

“If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.  If have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.  If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.  Love is patient, love is kind.  It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.  It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.  Loves does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.  It always protects, always trust, always hopes, always preservesLOVE NEVER FAILS…And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love.  But the greatest of these is love.”

 

This is why my mother emphasized discovering the love of God before trying to love anyone else.  Strengthen your love for yourself, your mother, and others by discovering the GREAT love that God our Father in heaven has for you.

Make everyday Mother’s Day because our mothers are treasures.

Do You Have A Mountain Moving Faith?

Do-You-Have-Mountain-Moving-Faith.png

Belief is big determining factor when it comes to possessing the things we want in life.

“If you can dream and believe it, you will be able to achieve it.”

 

I know that statement is easier said than done.  However, we must find a way to believe.

If you have followed my blog, you know that I ruptured my Achilles at the end of 2013.  It was a challenging time for me.

As a physical therapist, I have treated many patients who have suffered from Achilles ruptures requiring an Achilles repair, but I had a hard time initially BELIEVING that things would improve.  It was hard seeing the end result.

So I had to change my mentality.  During my recovery, I had to refer to some uplifting words.  These words helped me BELIEVE.

Have you ever struggled with believing?

If we are honest, I think we have all doubted ourselves at some point in our lives, but to doubt isn’t a bad thing.  It becomes a problem if we decide to make it part of who we are.  We have to recognize when we doubt, and then proceed to Removing Our Doubts (click on link).

If you don’t have a mountain moving faith, I’m hoping you will after reading today’s blog.

Move Your Mountains

 

We all have mountains in our lives, but there is only one way to move mountains.

And He said to them, “Because of the littleness of your faith; for truly I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.” ~ Matthew 17:20

 

I don’t believe this scripture is literally speaking of moving a mountain, but the mountains are symbolic of our life challenges.  Our problems may seem big, but all we need is just little faith to fix something that SEEMS to be so big.

Along with this scripture, I also would rehearse Romans 8:28.   Romans 8:28 says,

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”

 

During the recovery of my Achilles, I continued to reference these two passages.  Even now since my recovery, these scriptures have become a big part of my life.  If you want to move your mountains, make these scriptures part of your life.

Defining Your Motivation and Diagnosing Your Challenges

Defining-Your-Motivation-and-Diagnosing-Your-Challenges.png

There are some things that will never change in life.  Just as the sun rises on the East and sets of the West, there are certain aspects of our lives that will never change.  We are all driven by something, but also there is something that challenges us.

I’m motivated by opportunities of moving forward in life, but the challenge with moving forward is it requires stepping outside of my comfort zone.

What motivates you?  What are your challenges?

In today’s blog, we will discuss what motivates you and the challenges you will face.  After reading this blog, you should be able to differentiate between the two and discover ways of moving your life forward.

Defining Your Motivation

 

How would you define motivation?

Motivation is a strong, powerful reason to act, behave, or accomplish anything.

What moves you?  What are your desires?  What do you want really, really, really bad?

Defining your motivation is the key to getting what you want out of life.  Once you determine what motivates you, you will spend less time with things that don’t motivate you and more time with those things that do motivate you.

One determining factor with choosing a career should include selecting a career that you are passion about.  My father and mother would always say these words to me as a child,

“Do something you love and you will never have to work a day in your life.”

 

I hope these words will settle in your heart, but know there will be challenges.

Diagnosing Your Challenges

 

I have been working in the healthcare industry for almost 10 years now.  One critical part of any healthcare experience is diagnosing the actual injury or issue.

What do you think happens if a patient is diagnosed incorrectly?

It leads to a host of problems.  Problems such as continued sickness/injury, wasted money, doubt, etc.

Whether it is diagnosing an injury / sickness or diagnosing your challenges, it is important to diagnose these correctly.  If you diagnose your challenge incorrectly, it can lead to a multitude of complications.  Complications such as wasted money, purposeless living, lower confidence, reduced achievements, etc.

Just as everyone has their own individual motivations, the same is so with challenges.

When you are able to correctly diagnose your challenges, you will realize that you will be better at defining of your motivation.

Putting It All Together

 

After you have defined your motivation and diagnosed your challenges, now it’s time to move towards treatment.  We will stick with the healthcare illustration.  When we speak of treatment, we start to think about the nature of the treatment.

Defining motivation and diagnosing challenges helps us to decide whether we need to be more conservative or progressive with our treatment.

You may ask the question, “What are we treating?”

Your treatment is your action steps to success.  When you put it all together, it is all about putting actions steps together to move towards success.

Just remember, you cannot come up with a conservative or progressive treatment plan for success without first defining your motivation and diagnosing your challenges.

So set aside about five to ten minutes after reading this blog to define your motivation and diagnose your challenges.  Write these things down and discover what’s assisting and limiting your success.

How To Turn Everyday Experiences Into Opportunities

How-To-Turn-Everyday-Experiences-Into-Opportunities.png

We are all looking for opportunities to move forward and better our lives.

I have never been a person that wanted anything just given to me.  I believe a person should work for and earn any and everything received.  When we live with this attitude, we will discover various opportunities to grow our lives.

Are you looking for an opportunity?  When was the last time you gave yourself a promotion personally, professionally, but more importantly spiritually?

Everyday opportunities are staring you in your face.  Sometimes all we have to do is open our eyes and take notice of what is right in front us.  Give yourself a promotion by recognizing the many opportunities in your life.

I would like to share with you some opportunities that may be staring you in the face everyday.  These everyday experiences that are really opportunities will help you grow your life if you are able to capitalize on them.

It all boils down to ATTITUDE!!!

If you can have the right attitude and make the best of your everyday experiences, you will discover many opportunities to improve your life.

In no specific order, here are 20 ways to turn everyday experiences into opportunities.

1. Wake up excited about a brand new day.

2. Pray to the Creator (GOD) of all things.

3. Don’t believe in luck; make opportunities happen by taking action.

4. Avoid jealousy; be happy and inspired by the success of others.

5. Listen attentively to people and let them know you genuinely care.

6. Teach your children how to be God-fearing people of integrity.

7. Hug and kiss those closest to you.

8. Do or give one more.  Don’t do just enough, Go The Extra Mile (Click on link).

9. Learn something relevant everyday and apply it that day.

10. Focus on progression, not perfection.  Do your best, but more importantly get it done.

11. Avoid negative talk from yourself or others.

12. Live in the present and focus on building a bright future.

13. Never give up!!!

14. Encourage and inspire someone else.

15. Be honest with people.

16. Have supreme confidence with everything you do.

17.Pay it forward.

18. Realize you are a leader and have power beyond your imagination.

19. Let your friends know how valuable they are to you.

20. Live for God and your family.

Turn your everyday experiences into opportunities by changing your perspective about your daily routine.

The Best Way to Lead

The-Best-Way-to-Lead.jpg

Everything in life has a beginning and an end.  Leadership is no different, but where does it start?  Leadership begins with our awesome God.  God’s inspired word says in Proverbs 1:7,

“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; Fools despise wisdom and instruction.”

I can vividly remember times when I did not start with the LORD.  I can honestly say during those times, it was a challenge finishing anything I started.  And even if I was able to finish a project, I realized it wasn’t as successful as it would have been if I hadstarted with the LORD.

Have you ever been in a situation or made a decision and did not know where to start?  Have you received inspiration, but did not know where to start with carrying through with that inspiration?

I hope after you finish reading this post, you will find out where you need to start.  My objective is to help you see the best way to lead is by starting with God.

Start with God

 

There are two reasons why starting with God is the best way to lead.

1. God Created Everything.  One of the most creative and God breathed books in the Bible is Genesis.  Not only is it a great book because of its creativity, but also because it is the beginning of all things.  John referenced this in John 1:3 when he said,

“All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made.”

One great reason to start everything in your life with God is because he is the Creator of all things.

2. God Created Us With Influence.  Jesus is the greatest leader of all time.  Although he is God, he also took on the form of man to teach us how to lead.  Jesus spoke about leadership in Matthew 5:13-16 when he said,

“You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored?  It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people’s feet.  You are the light of the world.  A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.  Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house.  In the same way, let your light shine before others, so they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”

Whatever it is you are leading, start with God.

God created you with influence.  Life is like a canvas and our lives are the paintbrushes.  Make sure you are constantly working on your masterpiece because others are watching.

“You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men.” ~ 2 Corinthians 3:2

Reasons To Keep Your Mind Sharp

Reasons-To-Keep-Your-Mind-Sharp.jpg

My wife and I are always trying to figure out how to keep our minds sharp.  We feel it is important to the success of our family.

The one thing movies such as Limitless, Inception, Lucy, and Good Will Hunting have in common is being a better version of you by increasing brainpower.

I can vividly remember some days when I have felt my mind isn’t as sharp as it should be.  I am still functional in every sense of the word, but I just don’t feel on top of my game.

Have you ever had this feeling?

Today’s blog will help you discover why and how to keep your mind sharp.

Why You Should Keep Your Mind Sharp

 

Everyday we will face many challenges and responsibilities that requires us to keep our minds sharp.

There are many people depending on you.  And even if only one person is depending on you, I believe it is reason enough to keep your mind sharp.

Who is dependent on you and your mind being sharp?

I don’t believe your brain can be at it’s best until you know yourself and your needs.  It was Bernard Baruch who said,

“Only as you do know yourself can your brains serve you as a sharp and efficient tool.  Know your own failing, passions, and prejudices so you can separate them from what you see.”

Being yourself helps with sharpening your brain, but also sharpening your brain helps you discover who you really are.

How To Keep Your Mind Sharp

 

We have discussed being you in the blog titled, 3 Powerful Ways to Market Yourself (Click on link).  Today let’s talk about how to keep your mind sharp.  There are 6 Strategies To Keep Your Mind Sharp.

1. Exercise Your Body.  The best way to exercise your mind is to exercise your body.  It is a natural phenomenon to increase brain activity with bodily exercise.  As one of my professors would say in Physical Therapy school, “Everything in our bodies loves oxygen.”  The brain is no different.  Exercise increases oxygen to all your body parts, which includes our brains.

2. Exercise Your Mind.  There are many ways to exercise your mind such as crossword puzzles, brainy games, etc.  I think one of the best ways to exercise your mind is by reading.  It was Harry S. Truman that said,

“Not all readers are leaders, but all leaders are readers.”

I do believe we all are leading someone, which means we all should be reading.

3. Quiet Your Mind.  Sometimes all you need is a little quiet time to boost your brainpower.  Everyone needs some meditation time.  If you are unable to set aside some meditation time, it will make sharpening your mind a little challenging.

4. Reward Your Mind.  This is a straightforward point.  We all know the affects of sleep, especially deep sleep.  Sleep deprivation compromises your brains ability to be creative, critically think, and problem solve.  Reward your mind with sleep and it will reward you with better functioning.

5. Maintain Healthy Relationships.  You have heard me say many times in my blogs, “Life is all about relationships.”  I still haven’t changed my mind when it comes to that statement.  The more we are able to communicate with others who we have a healthy relationship with; it helps to sharpen our minds.  Naturally we weren’t created to be alone, so we need healthy human interaction to keep our minds sharp.

6. Keep Laughing.  Any and all research supports the need for laughter in our lives.  Life can be a challenge at times, so we have to find time to laugh.  Stress can choke our minds from being sharp, but laughter can be invigorating causing a sharpening of your mind.

You deserve the best.  So give yourself the best.  Whether you use all these strategies or just one, you will find yourself having a sharper mind if you practice just a few of these strategies.

Why You Should Have A Child-Like Persistence

Why-You-Should-Have-A-Child-Like-Persistence.jpg

When I first started blogging almost 2 years ago, I wrote about a child-like persistence.  I now have a few more years of parenting under my belt, which basically means I still have a lot to learn.

I have learned so many unique lessons from my three beautiful boys.  Each of them has been an amazing blessing from God.  The one thing each of them has taught me is persistence.

If you are a parent, you are quite familiar with the daily fun of having a child.  Some children may be more energetic and out-going than others, but most children like testing their limits.

Setting Boundaries

 

As adults, we start setting boundaries.  Many of the boundaries we set are healthy.  For example, we have to set financial boundaries, otherwise we would be bad stewards of our money.  It is also important that we set healthy boundaries with our families, church, and work.

Going Beyond Our Limits

 

When I reflect on my childhood, I don’t remember setting many boundaries.

I recall doing things as a child that I would not give one thought to as an adult.  Things such as making a homemade bike ramp about 5-6 feet tall and jumping a bike off of it.  Okay, my brother and I was a little crazy for attempting this stunt.  But we did it and managed to survive the “Dare-Devil” stunt jumps.  We could have killed ourselves many of times, but we survived and I'm here to write about it.  The interesting thing is, I now can see this same persistence in my boys.  But I believe most kids have some of this in them.

Setting boundaries can be a great thing, but it can also be a terrible thing.  Please let me explain.

Sometimes we use boundaries to make excuses for why we cannot move forward in life with our goals and dreams.

What are your aspirations?

Sometimes those things we think are healthy boundaries are only hindering limitations.

Limitations hold us back.  They keep us stuck.  When we constantly place limitations on our lives, we then begin to feel that things will never change.  Quite frankly, we begin giving up and quitting at life when we are calling these limitations healthy boundaries.

This is one of the reasons why we must go beyond our limitations.

Have A Child-Like Persistence

 

As adults, we become less apt to stretch ourselves.  There is a reason why we have the old adage of “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.”  I would respectfully disagree with this statement.  I would rephrase the statement to read,

“You can’t teach a know-it-all anything.”

Yes, I know it does not have the ring of the old adage, but it is so true.  Don’t be this person.

Go beyond your limitations!  Learn more.  Dream more.  Achieve more.

How do you go beyond your limits?

You need a child-like persistence.  When I think about the persistence of children I think of one phrase we have all heard and possibly have said is, “Are we there yet?”

Why a child-like persistence?

1. Children Are Always Learning.  Children are always exploring because of their many curiosities.  Don’t settle for living the way you are currently live.  Explore various opportunities to grow your parenting skills, your job status, your leadership skills, your business, your financial freedom, your church, etc.  Continue learning and you will find that you will continue to grow.

2. Children Aren’t Afraid To Show Emotion.  Why do adults hold back their emotions?  We try to call it being professional, but we end up tricking ourselves to be unemotional.  Emotions can be productive or counter-productive.  I’m not telling you to throw fits and fall in the floor when you don’t get your way, but I am suggesting for you to get excited when something excites you.  If used the right way, emotions can inspire and motivate that “Go beyond” attitude.

3. Children Are Hopeful.  One word that describes most children is hopeful.  The odds could be completely against a child, but they we look you square in the eye and tell you that they still believe.  Hope believes.  If you are going to go beyond your limitations, you will need to believe.  Believe in God.  Believe in yourself.  Believe in your team of supportive individuals.

Developing a child-like persistence is of the utmost importance if we plan on being successful in life.  Many times we quit too soon.  We stop before we reach our blessing.

Please do not make this mistake.  You need a child-like persistence.  Take calculated risk, but more than anything be persistent.  Start today!

Every Hand Has A Story

Every-Hand-Has-A-Story.jpg

I have seen many things in my life, but one of the most fascinating things I have been able to experience is exploring the human body inside and out during human anatomy class when I was in physical therapy (PT) school.

There are many lessons I learned during PT School, but my anatomy class gave me a greater appreciation for God and His creativity.

I would like to specifically talk about the hand today in our blog.  No, I am not getting ready to give you a lecture on the hand, but I would like to share some fascinating thoughts.

Humbling Experience

 

My anatomy class was a humbling experience.  It taught me how great and amazing God is.

As PT students, we had a great respect for those who donated their bodies for us to learn and explore the genius of God.

Every part of the human body is fascinating to me, but today I want to talk a little about the hand.

The hand isn’t the biggest structure in the body, but it has the most bones.  The most interesting thing I’ve found about the hand is that every hand has a story.

Just ask a hand orthopedic specialist or a hand therapist, they will tell you that every hand has a story.  The size, texture, etc. will tell you a lot about a person.  A hand will explain a life from birth to death.

The Greatest Hand Story

 

The greatest hand story is the Story of my Savior.  I would have loved to examine the hands of Jesus.

Although I wasn’t able physically examine his hands, he has the greatest story known to man and his hands tell the story.

1. Child Hands.  Jesus started his life just like we did.  He lacked coordination and fine motor skills in his hands as a child.  As a child, His hands lacked maturity.

2. Young Man Hands.  As Jesus continued to grow and develop, He began to notice the strength in his hands increasing.  But like us, He had strength and endurance as a young man, but He lacked endurance.  In other words, He was quick to work and start things, but was yet capable of finishing things.

3. Carpenter Hands.  At this stage of Jesus’ life, His hands were mature.  If we had the ability to examine his hands as carpenter, we would see stronger hands filled with calluses, splinters, and blisters.  They did not have the machines, lotions, crèmes, etc. when Jesus was a carpenter.  So his hands had plenty wounds from working with various pieces of wood.  This line of work naturally taught our Savior patience and perseverance.

Jesus also had to be creative, insightful, and purposeful.  Our Savior was able to take a chunk of wood and turn it into a beautiful piece of furniture.  He would spend much time turning nothing into something.  As a carpenter, our Father was preparing His hands to deal with our hearts.  It is quite easy to feel unworthy, unable, insecure, and doubtful as humans.  But Jesus’ hands are prepared to deal with all our emotions.  Just like the wood he once carved, He has experience turning what we would think would be junk into masterpieces.  It’s time for us to trust His carpenter hands.

4. Compassionate Hands.  Carpentry taught Jesus many lessons, but one day He had to put down the wood and started working on the heart of man.  He began preaching at young age, but it wasn’t until His hands developed compassion that He was able to greater things to change our world.

The skills of creativity and vision He developed as a carpenter filled Him confidence to perform miracles in the name of our Father.  He was able to heal the sick, cast demons, bring the dead back to life, still storms, walk on water, open the eyes of the blind, and change water to wine.  And He was able to do much more, but His hands were suited to perform these miracles because of His care for our world.  He had compassionate hands to serve mankind.  His purpose today was the same back then, He wanted to help humans deal with the struggles of life because He was very familiar with life’s pains.

5. Crucified Hands.  Everything before this point in Jesus life gave Him the strength to carry the cross.  It’s hard to go anywhere without noticing a image or replica of a cross.  Many people buy gold, platinum, and silver crosses and dangle them from their necks.  The cross is a reminder of our Savior’s crucified hands.

When Jesus died on the cross, the nails alone going through his hands shattered and broke many of His hand bones.  The holes from the nails caused blood to pour out of His hands, but also it exposed the nerves, veins and arteries in the location of the nails.  His crucified hands were full of pain.

The pain in His hands represents our struggles, our pains, our idiosyncrasies, and our lives.  He took the form of man and took on all of our pains to better our lives.

6. Open Hands.  If you remember the story of Jesus, He died but also rose.  So our Savior is still alive and His hands are still at work in our lives.  Jesus is still at work with his hands open wide inviting everyone possible to examine His hands.  He knows that if you take a look at his hands, you will start looking at your hands quite differently.

What’s Your Story?

 

Remember, all our hands have a story.  What have hands been saying up to this point in your life?  What are they saying now?  What will they say in the future?

Your story is just as important as anyone else’s story.

There is no way we can be just like Christ, but make sure when you and others look at the story of your hands that your story will include and embrace the beautiful life of our Christ.  I don’t believe this is an unreasonable expectation because every time Jesus looks at His hands, He can see your life in the palm of His hands because we are part of HIStory.

4-Steps-to-Remove-Your-Doubts.jpg

Have you ever doubted yourself?

Doubt can cause many problems.  It can be bring on feelings of low self-esteem, insecurity, frustration, depression, and despair.

With the various challenges we face in our world today, it is quite easy to doubt.  The deeper a person’s doubt further complicates life.  Doubt causes an unstable, unsettled, and unsure attitude.  An attitude of this kind will hinder growth and development in many aspects of our lives.

When doubt is present in our lives, it is hard to have peace.  Why do you doubt?  What do you doubt?  One of the biggest reasons to remove doubt is to live a peaceful life.  So let’s look at four ways to remove your doubt to make more room for peace.

4 Ways to Remove Your Doubt

 

1. Be Investigative.  Before you can remove your doubt, you need to know what you doubting.  Discover what your doubts are.  All doubt aren’t bad.  Doubting is definitely bad if you doubt yourself or your Creator.  However, to find out if you are having good or bad doubts, you must be investigative.

2. Be Intentional.  Have a purpose for everything you do.  Be purposeful especially with the way you speak.  Speak with positive affirmations.  What we say definitely has a affect on how we think and what we do.  So speak positive words of encouragement in order to complete the first step in removing your doubt.

3. Be Involved.  Once you have discovered your doubts and have made intentional decisions to fix them, now you must respond with effort and energy.  You cannot expect to remove your doubts or change anything without action!

4. Be Inspired.  The final step to removing your doubt is being consistently inspired.  Inspiration will keep your doubts at bay and eventually will let you rid yourself of them.  Be inspired and believe that you can remove your doubt.

Look Up!

Look-Up.jpg

When we transition into adulthood, we grow out of many things we once did as a children.  Rightfully so.

As a child, I would just look up.  I would look up in amazement of the colorful blue hues in the sky.  I was in amazement of the stars, the sun, the moon, the clouds, the rain, and rainbows.  I have always been amazed by my surroundings, especially nature and my love for being outside.

Still Looking Up

 

As an adult, I’m still looking up.

I still look up in amazement of the beauty that spans across our skies.  However, I now look up in amazement and awe for who created the natural and beautiful artwork.  Frankly, it is unfathomable!

No matter what I am going through, good or bad, I look up.

I don’t look up out of arrogance or conceit.  I will never look up to ignore the present problems of our world.  I look up because there’s no sense in looking back, looking side to side, or even looking forward.

I look up because of the importance of my vertical relationship.  I look up for the hope that lies before me. I look up to find the positive in everything.  I look up to see things from God’s perspective.

Why Look Up?

 

It is important to look up to turn your attention to things that matter most; to examine your expectations.  Looking up can give you a new or different sense of direction.

So, give it a try.  Take some time today, everyday, to step outside and bask in the glory around you; breathe in your surroundings and look up!

Look up to God!

ABC’s of Success

ABC’s-of-Success.jpg

Many people are looking for various secrets to attaining success.  What if I told you that there are no secrets to success?  In addition, what if I told you those things we considered secrets are actually common knowledge and should be a daily common practice in our lives.

The foundation for success lies in these factual tips I will be sharing with you.  Times may change and people may change, but these facts about success will always hold true.  Let’s look at the ABC’s of success.

ACTION

It is hard to have any success without action.  Nothing happens without action.  Action means putting in motion.  Forward movement is needed for any success.

BEST

We don’t have to be art our best all the time, but we must do our best to enjoy any kind of success.

CHANGE

Change is a friend of success.  Your success will be dependent on your ability to adjust, readjust, adjust, and readjust again.

DETERMINATION

Success requires perseverance.  Determination is an invaluable asset.  You will face difficulties and bumps in the road, but be determined about reaching your goals.

ENERGY

The right energy will give you many opportunities to be successful.  Our attitude determines our energy.  The right attitude will give you the right energy bringing success into your life.

FOCUS

You will need to ignore some things in order to focus on those things that matter most to achieve your success.

GOALS

Goals are important.  Don’t let anyone tell you different.  Goals are a road map to your success.

HARDWORK

You can work smart all you want, but you will also have to work hard.  You will have to go the extra mile, be the example, and serve like no one else.  All success comes with hard work.

INSPIRATION

Success usually starts with inspiration.  Discover what inspires you and use that to fuel your achievements.

JOY

Success should come with great pleasure and happiness.  Why do we want to be successful in the first place?  One of the reasons we want to be successful is to receive pleasure, happiness, or joy as a by-product.

KNOWLEDGE

At some point, to be successful you will need all the facts, information, and skills to achieve your success.  The probability of failure on your road to success is high.  As stated earlier in the blog, failure is just another way to gain more knowledge about how to be more successful.

LEADERSHIP

Without leadership, it will be impossible to obtain success.  You will need to take leadership over your attitude, ideas, goals, and actions.

MASTERY

Whenever you find success, it is usually preceded by skill.  Success doesn’t come from luck, but success happens when we skillfully can apply these ABC’s to our daily life.

NURTURING

Success is like a baby.  It needs nurturing.  I discussed the meaning of success in Are You Successful? (Click link)  What you consider success needs nurturing.  If you nourish your success, just like a baby it will continue to grow and develop into greater successes.

OBJECTIVES

Everything in life has purpose and meaning.  Your success should as well.  If you feel your success has no purpose, it may be time to seek out new success.

PASSION

Success comes from passion.  Without passion, it will be hard to experience success.  There will be days when you may feel like giving up, but your passion for your success will continue to drive you.

QUALITY

There should be a quality to your success.  Quality deals with something being reliable, maintainable, or sustainable.  Success should be reliable, maintainable, or sustainable.

RESOLVE

Failure is inevitable when seeking out success.  You will make mistakes, but failure isn’t the end of your ability to succeed.  Settle in your mind to fail, learn, and succeed.

STRATEGY

A strategy is different than your goals.  Although they are both maps to achieve your success, a strategy is more like your action plan to complete your goals.  Your strategy is your game plan.

TEAMWORK

Success cannot happen without teamwork.  You have heard the phrase, “It takes a team to achieve a dream.”  Whether you need assistance or not, it is always good to have a support team to endorse your success.

USEFUL

You will need to be useful in order to receive any degree of success.  Useful means you are functional, efficient, beneficial, helpful, profitable, or productive.  Successful people are useful people.

VISION

Vision brings success.  Why?  It’s because successful people or organizations must be able to envision their future brighter than their present.  Vision allows for clarity of purpose, goals to be met, solutions to be made, and productive work to be completed.

WEIRD

You had to see this one coming.  There are a thousand reasons why weird will promote your success.  Anyone who is successful did not get there by being like everyone else.  But quite the opposite, they became successful by being weird, unique, and different.  These people are able to capitalize on being themselves.

X-FACTOR

Similar to the word weird, x-factor refers to something or someone who is indefinable.  Not only are these things and people indefinable, but they also make a significant impact on the various outcomes.  Successful people are x-factors.  It is hard define what they are good at because they possess so many intangible qualities that make them an x-factor.

YOUTHFUL

When I use the word youthful, I don’t mean young in age.  Successful people are fresh, spry, active, vigorous, active, spirited, and full of energy.  If you are in search for success, it’s time to find your youthfulness.  I have never believed the phrase, “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.”  So, “Out with the old” and “in with the new.”

ZESTFUL

If you have ever watched a cooking show, you have heard words such as “We will add zest to the sauce.”  Zest has to do with enthusiasm, eagerness, fire, sparkle, passionate energy, excitement, or spice.  Successful people always discover ways of adding zest to their life and the lives of others, which makes them even more successful.

Why Pray?

Why-Pray.jpg

Have you ever sat down and considered the challenges you face everyday?

We face a wide range of challenges daily and I don’t know anyone who is immune to adversity or difficult times.  Even the best of us will have our moments of doubt, fear, uncertainty, or uneasiness.

How do you get through these unfortunate times?

Why We Pray

 

Everything I have is because of God’s providential power.  I pray because I’m grateful to God for who He is.  I pray to God because of what He has done, what He is doing, and what He will do.

I am a firm believer in praying whether times are good or bad.

I have had my fair share of misfortunes and I know there will be future mishaps.

Your challenges are completely different than mine, but we can share in the common thought of talking to our Creator about a resolve to fix our troubles.

What are you in need of today?

Life can be an unpredictable journey.  In our global news, we are witnessing more natural disasters.  In our local news, it seems as if violent crimes are becoming more widespread.  Third world countries are suffering from starvation, in-country wars, and inhumane actions.

We have taken notice of more divorces and consequently we are noticing more children growing up without fathers.  Along with these domestic challenges, many families are facing unemployment causing catastrophic financial crises.

I think it’s time for us to PRAY!

Not just as a country, but also as a world we need to PRAY!

When We Pray

 

When we pray, God wants us to pray from our hearts.  More than anything, God wants us to pray with a genuine, sincere, and a spirit of realness.

I have two great prayers I think we all will benefit from during our life’s journey.  Please print these prayers out.  Place them on your nightstand, cubicle wall, work desk, cell phone wallpaper, computer wallpaper, etc.  When we pray, we remind ourselves that God is with us.  No matter who you are and what you do, the realization is we all need God.

I was talking to a friend of mine at work last week and she shared this prayer with me.  I want to share these beautiful words with you as well.

No matter where you are and what you are going through, make time to talk to God.

3 Reasons Why Positive Self-Talk is Necessary

3-Reasons-Why-Positive-Self-Talk-is-Necessary.jpg

Many people are turned off when they hear the topic of self-talk, but self-talk is necessary if it is positive.

We all have a little voice in our heads.  The question is - Is your inner voice positive or negative?

How many times have you spoke positive or negative words and what you spoke ended up becoming a reality?  Why does this happen?  This happens because what we speak comes directly from our hearts.  And whatever is in our hearts, we will make it a priority to major on those things.

In this short blog, I want to discuss 3 Reasons Why Positive Self-Talk is Necessary.

3 Reasons Why Positive Self-Talk is Necessary

 

Reason #3 - To Silence the Negative Self-Talk.  We all want to be successful, but it is hard to be successful with negative self-talk.  Negative self-talk will talk you out of any success meant of your life.  Negative self-talk will have you doubting, hating, indecisive, uncertain, and skeptical about your life’s purpose.  To quiet those voices, you will need positive self-talk.

Reason #2 - To Keep You Focused.  Positive self-talk not only silents the inner negative voice, but it also helps you to focus on the accomplishments you need to achieve.  Depending on what you are trying to accomplish, positive self-talk reminds you of the process and strategies needed to meet your goals.  The more focused you are will give you the better opportunity to be successful.

Reason #1 - To Increase Opportunities to Prosper.  The number one reason to practice positive self-talk is to increase your opportunities to prosper.  Who doesn’t want an opportunity to prosper?  If you are a consistent reader of my blogs, you know how I define prosperity.  Prosperity has nothing to do with any materialistic gains, but it has everything to do moving forward.  When you discover ways of moving forward, you will discover a great deal of success in any area of your life.

How to Build an Indestructible Character

How-To-Build-An-Indestructible-Character.jpg

I have seen men and women that I thought were great leaders, but during difficult times I discovered a lack of integrity and honesty.  These men and women have great work ethic, but they lacked one essential quality every leader should possess being character.

When leaders lack character, it goes without saying that those following will lack character as well.

How do you know if you have character?

Character

 

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. stated one of the greatest quotes of all time when it comes to character.  He said,

“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands I moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”

 

The quality of one’s character is dependent on an individual’s reputation.  Character is all about consistent demonstration of good positive qualities.

Do you have character?

After speaking to a group of men and women leaders this past weekend, I decided it would be great idea to share a short list of helpful tips that builds an indestructible character.  No matter what anyone says about you, just follow these tips and you will discover your character being durable and unshakable.

8 Ways to Build an Indestructible Character

 

1. Be True to Yourself.  How many times have we seen a person attempting be someone else?  In such cases, these individuals end up coming across as a pretender.  There’s a quote that says, “Be careful who you pretend to be; you might forget who you are.”  And if you forget who you are, no one else will know who you are.

2. Be Passionate.  Never ride the passion of someone else, but let your passion speak for itself.

3. Be Family Oriented.  The way you treat your family will speak volumes to others about how you will treat them.  You don’t have to treat everyone like they are part of your blood family.  However, if you demonstrate disdain and disrespect to those you love, others will feel like you will be disrespectful to them.

3. Be Observant.  Be alert!  Those with great character are alert and pay close attention to detail.

4. Be in Control.  If you are going to build a character for yourself, you will need self-control.  Self-control is knowing when and when not to speak or act.  It has everything to do with being discipline enough to make great decisions.

5. Be Humble.  People with an indestructible character know how to act because the portray humility.  These people have a great reputation because they have a great deal of respect for themselves and others.

6. Be Friendly.  The reason why some people are able to build an indestructible character has everything to do with how they treat people.  They have a good reputation for treating people the right way.  If you are going to build an indestructible character, you will need to be aware of how friendly, warm, and welcoming you are as a leader.

7. Be Patient.  It takes a tremendous amount of patience to build an indestructible character.  Great character is revealed when people are patient.  If a person has a difficult time being patient, he or she will have a reputation for being impatient, restless, anxious, nervy, irritated, and short-tempered.

8. Be Teachable.  Those with great character are always willing to learn more.  They don’t feel like they know it all.  One of the biggest reasons why people have great reputations is because they are willing to adapt and change.  Nothing in life stays the same, so we should get use to being patient and be teachable if we want an indestructible character.

There are many other ways to build an indestructible character, but I wanted to share a short list of things you could look at today and possibly change or enhance to improve your leadership skills.  Stay tune to future blogs to discover various other ways to develop great character.

 

Question(s): In what ways have you built an indestructible character for your life?  Or what are some other things you have seen in others with a great reputation?  Leave your comments below.
