  • You Are Not What You Do!
    If you base your self worth on what do, what happens to your self worth when you no longer do what you are doing? For example, if you base your self worth on having a really good job, what happens if you loose that job? If more Christians would accept who the Bible says that they are, their self worth would skyrocket! And it would dynamically affect every area of their lives!
  • You Are Not Perfect!
    How many people do you know who are perfect and never make a mistake? Thoughts of past failures are very defeating. And, so many times our past failures and mistakes and shortcomings hinder us from receiving God's promises.
  • Why Settle?
    Too many people live each day with disappointment, guilt, frustration, shame, and even disgust. They have buried their potential and have learned to settle. But, their potential is not lost, it is just buried.
  • Who's In The Driver's Seat?
    None of us can escape all the negatives we see and hear every day. But we can choose how we will respond. I don't want my life to be like a little boy in my parent's car, just going along for the ride. I want to be in the driver's seat!
  • Who Threw the Stone?
    God has promised and He has provided. But He is not going to overstep our free will. That means He is willing to do His part but we must also be willing to do our part.
  • Who Says You Can't?
    So, who told you that you can't? Someone may have said that to you. That was their decision to say it. But only you can determine whether you will or whether you won't. That is your decision.
  • Who Do You See in the Mirror?
    "The reason most people are so miserable is that they can't stand themselves." It is sad but so true! There are many people who just cannot stand themselves. I needed to change my perspective.
  • Where Is Your Life Going?
    You can either accept your life the way it is now, or, you can get on the path to where you really desire your life to go. I am going to challenge you to follow a simple exercise for three weeks. If you do, you will initiate a major change of focus in your mind that will help you greatly in achieving your dreams and desires.
  • Where Are You Today? Where Will You Be Tomorrow?
    I heard a statement over thirty years ago that really shocked me, confronted me, and helped me to start thinking logically about my life. Your belief system is what you believe. It is what you accept as right or true. And, most importantly, it is what you will attract into your life.
  • What You See Is What You Get
    Why do we think that it is just fine and normal to beat ourselves up for our failures and shortcomings, but somehow think that it is egotistical to recognize and acknowledge our successes? I think we've got it all backwards!
  • The Story Of My Life
    What comes out of our mouth is indeed an indication of what's inside our hearts. Many times, what we say is an indication of our core beliefs. Take note of what is coming out of your mouth. If it's not positive, then change your thinking and what comes out of your mouth will follow suit. Then the results in your life will then be what you desire them to be.
  • The Real Energy Crisis
    Since late last summer the cost of oil has skyrocketed to record prices. But that's not the real energy crisis. The real energy crisis is in the price millions of Americans pay every day for worrying. Yes, worrying!
  • The Ham Rut
    Many times, we do things because that's the way we have always done them. We think the way we do now, because that's the way we have always thought. But why?
  • The #1 Cause of Failure
    What is the biggest roadblock to success? What sabotages your job, or your relationships? What is the number one cause of failure?
  • Temporary Setbacks or Permanent Failure?
    In life we many times feel, "stuck." We wonder how we got into the situation that we are presently in. It is in those times that we need to be careful with how we define it. Have we failed, or, is it just a setback?
  • Take Charge!
    The reason so many people go around in circles in life, is because their thoughts are going around in circles in their minds. Their minds are engaged in wandering, daydreaming and fanaticizing; they never stay focused long enough to allow what they truly desire to come into their lives. Take charge of your life by taking charge of your thinking.
  • Stop Looking Back!
    When you are driving your vehicle, you can't get very far without running into something if you're constantly looking into the rearview mirror. I don't recommend trying this! And neither do I recommend doing it with life either.
  • Soar With The Eagles!
    It's not the storms in life that defeat us. It is how we respond to the storms that will determine the outcome. Just like the eagle, we can soar high above the storm.
  • Self-Talk
    You can start today building positive self-talk. It will reduce the stress in your life, give you confidence, and, empower you to living a dynamic life. It is your choice to change negative self-talk into positive self-talk
  • Quit Complaining!
    Regardless of any limitations that you may have, the Creator never designed you to be a failure. With His help, nothing can stop you from living your dreams and having the desires of your heart.
  • Overcoming Discouragement
    The Doctor gave him 6 months to a year to live. He didn't believe that and went on to live another 42 years! Complaining is a total waste of your valuable time and it will never change your circumstances.
  • Making Choices
    Some people believe that God wants us to live life to the fullest! They choose to expand. They learn to deal with their new choices. They refuse to accept an obstacle as a sign that the choice was wrong. They look to God for help and direction on their new path.
  • Is He Wiling?
    Believing and accepting God's unconditional love for you, and believing that you are already righteous in His eyes will have a dynamic impact on your acceptance that He is not only able to do for you what He has promised, but that He is also willing to do it for you personally.
  • I Struck Out Again!
    If you are going to be successful in life, then you cannot blame other people, circumstances, or even the tools that you use. Instead, take responsibility for your life by developing the skills that you need.
  • How To Get What You Desire
    What you focus your mind on is what you will bring into your life. It is a tried and true principle of life that works just like the law of gravity. Some refer to this as a mindset, or core beliefs, or issues of the heart. Whatever you call it, just remember that you have the free will to think any way if you choose to.
  • How Tall Are You?
    Have you noticed that the world lacks people who constantly encourage others? The sad reality is that people are quick to point out all your shortcomings but slow to give you praise for your accomplishments. Don't let anyone talk you out of your dreams, goals and desires. Don't talk yourself out of them either. Live life with excitement and push toward your full potential, just like NBA star Earl Boykins does.

  • How Much Money Do You Make?
    The picture you carry of yourself is what you will see happen in your life. That is the reason some people never move any higher than 10 or 12 dollars an hour. They would love to get an increase, but inside, they see themselves as a 12 dollar an hour earner. Where do you see yourself?
  • How Many Fire Hydrants Do You See?
    Here's a simple and fun exercise that you can do that will show you in a very simple way how your mind works. Try it for three days. I think you will be astonished.

    Your life is not over! There are things to discover; there are things to learn. What about the things you never dreamed you could do? You can do them!
  • Guess What Happened Today?
    Each morning when you wake up there are endless possibilities. This could be the greatest day of your life so far! Well, why not? Would you regret it or object if it was?
  • Got Connections?
    There are a lot of people living in self-pity, going around with the, "poor me" attitude. Their talk is always about defeat. Perhaps they have forgotten that we have the best "connection" there is!
  • Get Up And Get Dressed!
    The thoughts that you consistently think will form your belief system, your core beliefs. Our own core beliefs will determine our own circumstances.
  • Fire That Commentator!
    A commentator is one who discusses news or events. He or she will interpret and analyze events. A commentator does more than just report the facts. The dictionary definition of a commentator is, "an expert who observes and comments on something." There is a commentator you know very well that needs to be fired immediately!
  • Finding Your Passion
    Most people are doing what they do because they have to. It is the only job they think they can get. It is the only work that they know. It is the best paying job they think that they can get. How many people do you know who really love their job?

    Our environment really does affect us, whether it is the geographical location, the climate, the cleanliness of our home, or even our friends and acquaintances.

    No matter what is going on around you, regardless if the markets are up or down and no matter where the price of gasoline is today, you can choose to accept and believe the promises of God. You can choose to stay focused on God's promises, and then expect to receive.

    But for every goal that you have, implement and revise an action plan. In other words, what action are you going to take to see that goal come to pass? And, try to do something every day to reach your goal, no matter how small or insignificant it seems.
  • Are You Too Old Now?
    Birthday celebrations are interesting aren't they? When you're a child, you look forward to them and they are so much fun. But the older we get, the less we look forward to celebrating another birthday. Why is that?
  • Are You Out of Touch with Reality?
    Your current reality is the reality that you have accepted. Your self-esteem and self worth are dependent upon who you think you are at this moment. It may seem to be your reality at this moment, but is it really a false reality?
