Wise Wednesday – Motivational Minute 416

It’s Wise Wednesday!

Today’s Motivational Minute is…

TRUST THE PROCESS!

On this Wise Wednesday, I want you keep doing what you are doing.  Don’t get discouraged because you don’t know exactly how things are going to turn out.  Trust the process and trust that every step you take toward purpose is right where you are supposed to be.  Sometimes not having all of the answers isn’t fun but most times it is the best thing for you.  Believe you me… I know.  Sometimes we have to just trust that all things are working together for our good.

Martin Luther King Jr, says “Faith is taking a step even when you can’t see the staircase.”

As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, you’ve got what it takes but it will indeed take all you’ve got.  But in giving it all you’ve got, sometimes you’ve got just give it all you’ve got without knowing all of the answers.  Plus if you knew everything you’d have to go through to get to where God is taking you, you might not go.  :)

YOUR TURN… on this Wise Wednesday, tell me how will you trust the process more on this journey you are taking?  Do you need to know all of the answers and all of the details before making a decision?

Share your thoughts in the comments section. I would love to hear from you and so would our followers. There may be someone who just might be blessed by what you share!

Here’s to you living life IN & ON Purpose…

Tenacious Tuesday – Motivational Minute 415

It’s Tenacious Tuesday!

Today’s Motivational Minute is…

YOU’VE GOT WHAT IT TAKES!

On this Tenacious Tuesday, I want you know that in spite of what your inner critic, your past and maybe even your present is telling you, you have what it takes.  During this time in my life, I am embarking on some new things personally and professionally and some days it gets scary to venture out into unchartered territory.

Sometimes, I start thinking…

• Am I on the right track?
• Can I do what God is telling me to do?
• Am hearing Him correctly?

If you are having similar thoughts, the answer to all of these questions is YES!  I am hear to tell you what the Lord has been speaking to me,  not only do you have what it takes, but it will take all you’ve got in order for it to come to pass.  Don’t half-step or play around with it because once you give it all you’ve got, God will kick in His grace, mercy and favor and help you out.  I’ve learned that when we do our part-the natural, it then frees God up to do His part-the super.  When you put His SUPER with your NATURAL, there’s no stopping you!

YOUR TURN… on this Tenacious Tuesday, what has your inner critic, your past or even your present been saying to you to make you feel as though you don’t have what it takes?  How do you persevere past those challenges that come to keep you from the things that bring you closer to purpose and destiny?

Mind Over Matter Monday – Motivational Minute 414

 

It’s Mind Over Matter Monday!

Today’s Motivational Minute is..

RELEASE WHAT’S HOLDING YOU BACK?

On this Mind Over Matter Monday,  I want you to really think about what’s been holding you back.  You pick one thing or the many things that have been holding you back. Now I want you to write them down on a sheet of paper. Next, write down why it’s been holding you back?  Then, write how your life would be different if you released those things that are holding you back.  Now I want you to release them.

Let them go and then move forward!

As we transition into the second half of this year in about 2 weeks, can you honestly say that you are doing everything you need to do to live your best life?  If the answer is no, then it’s time to identify what’s been holding you back, confront it and then release it.  If you are holding on to something that’s holding you back, you can’t possibly have your hands open for all the great things waiting for you receive.  Remember, a closed mouth doesn’t get fed and a closed or clenched hand can’t receive.

YOUR TURN… on this Mind Over Matter Monday, tell me what’s been holding you back that you know you need to release?  What’s taken you so long to release it? How would your life be different if you released what’s been holding back?

Share your thoughts in the comments section. I would love to hear from you and so would our followers. There may be someone who just might be blessed by what you share!

Fearless Friday – Motivational Minute 413

It’s Fearless Friday!

Today’s Motivational Minute is..

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

On this Fearless Friday, I want you to stop waiting for ‘a sign,” waiting for things to be ‘perfect,’ or waiting to ‘be ready‘ and just take the first step. Many times when we say we are waiting on God or something else, it is usually the other way around.  God is waiting on you and whatever you are waiting on is waiting for you to take that first step in order for any manifestation to appear.  Sometimes it sounds better to say you are waiting on someone or something else rather than admit you are the one holding things up. Get out of your own way.

So if you are waiting for a sign, THIS IS IT!

YOUR TURN… on this Fearless Friday, tell me what are you really waiting for?  Why haven’t you moved yet?  Why haven’t you taken the first step? How will you be fearless and move one step closer to that goal or dream?

Share your thoughts in the comments section. I would love to hear from you. There may be someone who just might be blessed by what you share!

Thankful Thursday – Motivational Minute 412

It’s Thankful Thursday!

Today’s Motivational Minute is..

BE THANKFUL FOR THE SIMPLE THINGS IN YOUR LIFE!

On this Thankful Thursday, make it point to pay attention to all of the simple things in your life and say THANK YOU for them.  Many times we focus on the BIG, GIGANTIC things that happen in our lives while unintentionally ignoring the simple things in life.  Though you may not be where you desire, you most certainly are not where you could be.  Be thankful for the hug of a loved one, a thank you note or testimonial from a client, a smile given or received, the ability to hear the birds chirping first thing in the morning, another day…  you get the point.  Make it a point to write in your journal three simple things you are thankful for today.

YOUR TURN… on this Thankful Thursday, tell me what you are thankful for.  Have you spent more time focusing on the big, gigantic things in life missing the opportunity to embrace some small, simple but meaningful things that take place everyday in your life?  If so, how will you start paying more attention to the simple things in your life?

Share your thoughts in the comments section. I would love to hear from you. There may be someone who just might be blessed by what you share!

Wise Wednesday – Motivational Minute 411

 

It’s Wise Wednesday!

Today’s Motivational Minute is..

LISTEN TO YOUR BODY!

On this Wise Wednesday, my message to you is to listen to your body when it gets weak or tired. Now I am not talking about quitting prematurely but really listening to the signs your body gives when you might be getting sick or overdoing it.  Even though tomorrow is not promised you might be able to get another day but you most certainly can’t get another body.  Be wise in how you take care of it.  I started out this morning with a different post but as I have ferociously battled my allergies and sinuses today, I just couldn’t pull myself together to get this post out earlier.  I didn’t listen to my body.  So as I close the day and go rest my mind and my body, I wanted to make sure you have this particular motivational minute knowing that it’s okay to rest and take care of YOU!

YOUR TURN… on this Wise Wednesday, tell me if there was a time your body was telling you to take some time to rest but you ignore the clues, thus getting sick from pushing yourself too far.  Has your body been speaking to you lately telling you, that you are going too far? If so, will you listen?

Share your thoughts in the comments section. I would love to hear from you. There may be someone who just might be blessed by what you share!

Tenacious Tuesday – Motivational Minute 410

It’s Tenacious Tuesday!

Today’s Motivational Minute is..

WALK IN YOUR GREATNESS WITHOUT APOLOGY!

On this Tenacious Tuesday, Be bold, Be daring, Be tenacious… Go after your dreams and your goals with no apology.  Remember everyone won’t get you and that’s ok.  You don’t need everyone on your team to walk in the greatness that resides inside of you. Stop looking for people to affirm and confirm you.  That’s God’s job and he’s already done it so get to moving!  Not to mention there will be some people who will NEVER affirm or confirm you and if you keep waiting on them,  you will be waiting FOREVER!

YOUR TURN… on this Tenacious Tuesday, tell me how has people pleasing held you back?  Since you know there’s greatness within you why would you allow someone else to give you permission to walk in it?

Mind Over Matter Monday – Motivational Minute 409

It’s Mind Over Matter Monday!

Today’s Motivational Minute is..

MAKE UP YOUR MIND!

On this Mind Over Matter Monday, do yourself a favor and just make the decision.  Stop going back and forth procrastinating and pondering over what to do.  As I share with many of my clients and students,

“You know what you need to do, you just haven’t done it yet. Why?”

So now I pose this statement to you!  – If you know what you need to do, (and that is if in fact you know what you need to do) why haven’t you made the decision yet?  Most times we know what we need to do, we just prolong the decision, thus making our current situation worse than it needs to be.  OH and just so you know NOT making a decision is also making a decision.   Just because you haven’t made a decision doesn’t make it go away.  Therefore, make the decision and get on with it.  No matter how hard the decision may be, if you start off making small decisions consistently, when it comes to making the hard and difficult decisions, you will be able to make them more easily and more consistently.

Remember…

“A double minded man is unstable in all of his ways“

(James 1:8).

YOUR TURN… on this Mind Over Matter Monday, tell me … what decision do you need to make that you’ve been procrastinating to make? What’s really holding you back?  If this isn’t something you struggle with, how do you handle making tough decisions?

Share your thoughts in the comments section. I would love to hear from you. There may be someone who just might be blessed by what you share!

Success Breeds Success…

As I was online today, I found myself on the website of the daughter of one of the entrepreneurs I follow. As I was perusing through her site, this saying popped into my spirit,

“Success breeds success.” and “Iron sharpens iron.”

I noticed in reading her bio that her parents had been the key to helping her become successful in the pursuit of her goals. She watched and then emulated their successes, thus becoming an author, entrepreneur and speaker all under the age of 25.

She had people around her to bring out the greatness within and help to sharpen her skills, gifts, and talents. As I was on her site it got me to thinking about the many people out there who may have goals that you want to accomplish whether personal or professional. You may not have parents who run successful businesses or have people in your life who help you to become your best, but you desire to go to another level in a certain area of your life.

Well I’m here to tell you that it’s possible. There are many people who didn’t have what this young lady has but have still launched successful businesses and personal lives they can be proud of.

Why?

Because they found successful people to follow and model their lives after.

You can do it too!

Here’s how:

Find people in your life, circle or even online who model a life that you desire whether it’s spiritual, physical, intellectual, professional, financial… you get the point. Study them, ask them questions if you can, and learn what they did to get where they are. Read their books if they’ve written any, watch their youtube videos if they have any, study them.

As the title of the post is called… Success breeds success. If you want to be successful you MUST start surrounding yourself with people, places and things that breed success. Now keep in mind that you have to define success for yourself. Don’t let anyone try to dictate ‘their’ definition of success and make you fit into it. Many times we try to put on someone else’s goals and aspirations without ever considering what success looks like for us. Take some time and really think about that. But while doing that pay attention to those around you who may be a few steps ahead of you, you can ask questions and inquire about how they got to where they are. You might even be able to work with them as your coach or mentor at a cost. Either way you are positioning yourself to reap the level of success you desire.

By surrounding yourself with people, places, and things that breed success, it helps keep you sharp, focused and in tune with your dreams and goals. Iron sharpens iron and if you don’t have anyone in your circle who can sharpen you, check you and even rebuke you, then you need to start looking for those individuals NOW! You need some people in your life who view things from a different perspective, who will ask the hard questions, who will challenge you and who will keep you accountable. This keeps you sharp!

Bishop T.D. Jakes says, “if you are the smartest person in the room or in your circle, then you need a new room and a new circle.”

You need people who can pull you up. You need people who can teach you something new and who can challenge you. You need people who will ask questions that make you think or give you a different perspective.

This is how success breeds success and how iron sharpens iron. This is how you get to the next level. This is how you never get complacent, or mediocre, and just plain average. God has placed so much more inside you, so there is no use in trying to dumb down your greatness just because you weren’t born into an ‘ideal’ family or ‘perfect’ circumstance. There are way too many resources available for you to use this excuse. I’m not buying in to it!

When you don’t have what everyone or someone else has, using what God gave you and thinking outside the box is how you stay on top of your game in your finances, your health, your job, your business, your industry, your ministry, and any other area of your life that you desire to excel in.

Just because you weren’t born into it doesn’t mean you can’t have it!

Fearless Friday – Motivational Minute 408

It’s Fearless Friday!

Today’s Motivational Minute is..

DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT!

On this Fearless Friday, take a risk and try something different.  Shake it up a little bit on today.  Whether everything is going fantabulous or really sucky… do something different today.  Try a new exercise, try a new food, use a new model in your business, reach out to someone you normally wouldn’t reach out to today.  Post your blog on a new social media site, take your spouse to a new restaurant to try something new.  NO MATTER WHAT IT IS…. just take the time to move things around today and DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT.  Depending on where you are in your life, in might be time for you to change it up.  Remember, if things aren’t working out the way you’d like but you keep doing the same thing and expecting different results, we call that INSANITY!

YOUR TURN… on this Fearless Friday, tell me … what will you come outside of your comfort zone to do today?  If you do this on a regular basis or even every so often, share with me what you’ve done in the past to shake things up a bit in your life and business and how you felt after doing it. 

Share your thoughts in the comments section. I would love to hear from you. There may be someone who just might be blessed by what you share!
