Success

Do you desire success? How badly do you want it? How hard are you prepared to work for it?
Do you believe that it will happen for you? Do you really believe that? Then what are you doing about it? What action are you currently involved in that reflect your belief system?

We desire so much and oftentimes are not willing to invest our time and resources to that which we so greatly desire. It is as if we are paralyzed by the "what ifs!" We must be willing to step out of our comfort zones and challenge the status quo.

We can do it, if we think that we can do it! Too often the desire for success is greater than our belief in our ability to succeed. We can desire a thing and never achieve unless we are willing to pursue and win that thing.

If we truly believe that God made us with endless possibilities inside of us, we would never limit ourselves they way we do. We would rise above the mediocrity and challenge ourselves to go and to grow. Improvement requires change, change requires courage and courage requires wings to take us into our destinies. Let us do it, even if we are afraid! Nothing that moves can be stagnant. Let's move together as we pursue better!

Fear

When will we realize that anything that is really worth having is worth fighting for?
When will we realize that when we say we believe that is true, that the reality of our belief will only be known based upon what we do not just what we say?
When will we realize that oftentimes we stand in the way of our own progress when fear becomes our guide?
When will we realize that the possibilities are endless for those who chose to believe?
Why are we afraid of failure when failure does not have to be the end for us unless we choose to?
When will we realize that our most important ally or enemy is our choice?
Life and death are both in the power of our tongue, what is your choice today?
What do you desire, life or death? What was that? What did you say?
Your words outline your destiny as it frames your world.
Are we abusing our ability to speak as we open our mouths and allow death to flow forth? Death to someones dream or desire?
You are powerful!
You were built with purpose and for a purpose. There is greatness on the inside of you. You can do great things.
Believe and do and you will see.

THE SEED

Isn't it strange that mankind was impregnated with a seed from the moment we were conceived?

This seed is to become a tree in our lifetime but how many of us stifle that seed and stare it of the relevant nutrients that it needs for survival? We start out by doubting that there is anything of worth within us. So we don't look inside or consider our possibilities. We buy into the lie that we are who our external life says we are. We are who people say we are.....

What is inside of you? What is your secret dream that you would never ever utter aloud? That thing that you are afraid to even consider because it might make others uncomfortable or it makes you uncomfortable. You think that it is too small or too grand. Nothing is wasted by the one that planted the seed in you from conception. Who will you trust more? Your fears or He who knows best?

- William Burbach - For the flower to blossom, you need the right soil as well as the right seed-

What seed did God place into you (right soil)? Unfold the beauty of the flower that is within? Change! Choose to be one who thinks that everything is possible!

The light for your path is within you because God is always with you so engage Him and step forward. He has a plan for your life. Are you going to trust Him?

It is said, "The greatest journey starts with a single step" and "the only way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time."

It starts with a decision.

-Robert Strauss - "Success is a little like wrestling a gorilla. You don't quit when you're tired - you quit when the gorilla is tired."



COMPLETE

Do you feel incomplete? Why do you feel that way?
What do you think is missing from your life?
Do you think that you need a man to feel complete?
Is there a huge vacuum in your life? Do you feel that God wired you for relationship and until "the one" comes into your life you will never be whole?
Is that really true? Shouldn't you be complete in yourself first?
Is it that we have been socialized from an early age to think that until we are in a fulfilling relationship with the opposite sex then we are not who we are supposed to be?

It is time for us to realize that we must be content with ourselves. How are we going to be of service to someone else while we aren't satisfied with who we are? Didn't God say that we are complete in Him lacking nothing? Is this not the truth?

Indeed, we are wired for relationship, nevertheless, until God bring our partner our way our efforts should be spent on developing ourselves and becoming complete. The thing that we desire most comes to us often times and we are unable to handle it when we get it.

We have grown up in a culture that dictates influences our desires so much that often times we don't even know the "real me". We read the romance novels and watch the movies and these creating a feed a yearning within us so strong that we walk around looking for someone to fill that space. We are afraid to be alone because we don't believe that we can live a fulfilled life without a partner. So many have just drifted through their lives for years not fully enjoying the moments they are giving because they have no one to "share it with", no man to all their own and rob themselves of the wonder that might be found in .....

The reason


"Who are you ?" There is so much more to you than meets the eye.
"Do you really believe that you deserve the best?"
"Do you believe that you don't have to settle for less than what you truly deserve?
"What is your worth?
"How valuable are you?" This question might have you asking, "Valuable to whom?"

Valuable to you. How much do you value you? What do you think about you?Do you love you? Do you treasure yourself? What is your purpose?

Simple but relevant questions. We often find ourselves defining ourselves by the standards of others, by their opinions, their desires etc One might say, "No, i don't!" but how do you allow ourselves to be treated? Are you settling in your relationships? Are you settling in life for less than you deserve? If you are, why are you doing that? What is it inside of you that is stopping you from letting go of toxic relationships? What is it inside you that is causing you to hold on to something that is dead? Why are you involved with someone else's someone? Are you living a lie? A lie is never worth it. You are more valuable than that!

Fear is one of f not the greatest obstacle that many of us face. It cripples and incapacitate us and leaves us lying in the dust of stolen dreams and lost wasted moments. Each of us have been created with all the goodness that exist and we allow life experiences to drain all of the goodness and strength out of us. I am not minimizing the horrors that some have faced and are possibly going through right now, but m question is, what are we going to do about it? Are we going to allow our lives to slip away from us? Isn't it more valuable than rubies, pearls, diamond and gold? Now, is the appointed time for us to arise!
