Keep your focus forward. Only glance backward for a moment as a sign of respect and reverence for those who are not moving forward with you. For whatever reason, they will not be a part of your future. And that is out of your control. But also out of respect for them, dedicate yourself to making the most of the time and opportunities that will come to you in the New Year. Remain focused on…
If you lived in a remote area, you would never focus all your energy and resources to build a road or bridge to your enemy or advisories. Instead, your work would focus on making a connection with those like-minded folks who collaborate and elevate you in your endeavors. Apply that same logic to the people you choose to make your friends. You will not likely change the view of those against you, and your effort…
Sometimes you feel like your life is off course, and you have somehow wandered off into the weeds. Understand that this part of your journey also has a purpose. Maybe the weeds are meant to provide a soft, warm place to relax and recharge before tackling the next obstacle. Or perhaps they are there to protect you and provide a safe haven as you regroup and change the course of your journey. Accept where you…
The world around you is what you choose to make of it. You hear the noise in the background as you try to focus and overcome challenges. But it is up to you to decide to listen to the clamor as cheering for or against you. Make the volume your friend and decide to use it as encouragement no matter how it is delivered or the intent. Only you can choose to derail your progress…
Don’t waste your time with those who don’t truly appreciate you. No matter what you may try to do, you won’t be able to get them to change their minds. Instead, focus on being your true self and those who were meant to be a part of your life will find their way to you. Please join me in thanking Amy for her contribution this week and every Sunday! Her words, thoughts, and gifts…
Focus on being the best that you can be. Trying to be someone else, no matter how much effort you devote to the challenge, will only result in creating an imitation. You are a unique, one of a kind work of art. Focus on honing your skills and qualities to become the genuine person you are meant to be. Because there will never be another you. And the world needs your gifts, talents, and contributions.
The best thing I can give you for Christmas is something genuine, something kind, something that is meant for you and you alone. The best thing I can give you for Christmas is not anything one can buy at a store but it’s something worth waiting for. The best thing I can give you for Christmas is not made by a designer but nothing could be finer than what I can give you. The best…
Soon we shall be celebrating Christmas once again. The meaning of Christmas is to recognize the birth of Jesus as the Saviour. Jesus, the Son of God, who brought Salvation through His Death and Resurrection, today is calling you to reconcile with your neighbor. It would be such a wonderful Christmas, if each one of us would really accept this invitation to make peace with our neighbor, to make reconciliation possible through Jesus. This for…
Are you a tortoise, a hare, or some other lovable creature in between? The answer really is irrelevant as long as you have the heart of a lion inside. Speed does not matter. All you need is the dedication to continue on your journey. That is what will ensure your success and happiness.
Happiness does not come from objects and gifts. It comes from making a choice to go to a place of warmth, love, and contentment. Don’t let yourself become lost in the trimmings and material items we often associate with the holiday season. Instead, be thankful and feel the joy in those you share your time with. Many face these days alone and would give anything to sit with a dear friend or family member for…
