Encouragement For Leaders

The message today is one of encouragement, direction and strength to those in leadership.  

Take note that even though your title may not annouce “leadership”, we all are leaders in some manner. We are governors of the purpose that we were created to fulfill.

It is important that we are able to assess our atmosphere and realize when a change is needed. We are investments in the lives of others and monitoring our input and output is necessary to ensure that we maximize the return.

My investment to you today is hope. Keep your hope burning with the passion you have in your purpose. Let this passion burn so deep within that it does not matter how you get to your destiny; just that you get there!

Defined By Choice

What is the freedom to choose? Does it mean that one can do whatever they desire, whenever they desire? To choose implies that one selects the more appropriate of more than one course of action. Freedom suggests that there is no restraint. In a day’s course of time, we make several choices. Things like deciding what clothes to wear, what food to eat and what items to prioritize. We decide on taking the stairs versus using the elevator. These are just a few items involved in our daily choices. The choices we make, aware or unaware, provides definition to our lives. The choices we make lay the foundation of our values and culture. It is a definition of where we came from and a shaping tool of our destiny.

This message today is to encourage you to become more aware of the choices made throughout your day. Take a look at your life and make sure your decisions are leading you to your destiny. The circumstance/conditions in your life are not permanent, they did not come to stay. They came to provide growth and maturity to your total being as you fulfill your purpose. Make sure your choices are not being predicated upon situations in your life. Remember, the situations are temporal. Use wisdom in making decisions.

It Gets Better For You

This year might not have started off as you envisioned. Towards the middle of the year you might have lost your momentum and dropped the ball. Life’s journey might have placed some demands on you to respond when you least expected. 

The previous scenarios may reflect what happened so far in 2019 for you or not.

Will you do me a favor? 

Close your eyes and take a deep breath in allowing your belly to expand outwardly. Hold it for three seconds. Then, breath out allowing your belly to relax towards your spine and open your eyes.

How did that breathing moment feel? I hope it refreshed you. 

Take a few moments to think about life in 2019 thus far. Did you respond to life in a healthy way? In those uncomfortable moments, did you react instead of responding? While dodging the life balls, did you want to stop and let the balls hit you? Wait…did you stop dodging and let the balls hit you?

You’re probably looking side-eyed at me wondering why am I asking you these questions that are bringing up not so good feelings for you. Well, it is because I have some amazing news for you.

Yes, we are nearing the end of 2019 and what better time for you to level up and end 2019 with a strong finish.

In The Meantime

We all have areas of our lives that we do not demonstrate much strength. As we pursue our goals, we should make sure we take action to strengthen the weak areas needed to accomplish the goals.

While you’re waiting to achieve the goal (s) – in the meantime, seek out #Growth (development) for the areas you might show less strength in. Strengthening the weak areas just might be the catalyst to execute our goals in a timely manner.
