  • Want Success? A Better Life?

    Want success? A better life? Don’t think about it. Don’t talk about it. DO something about it! A better, happier, more fulfilling life is within your grasp. But getting there means getting off the couch. Doing more, doing better or doing something different!

    I sing because I’m happy!
    1. Start With God. Start Today.

    The first and best step toward a better life is inviting God into your journey. True success isn’t just about money, promotions, or achievements — it’s about peace, purpose, and fulfillment. Those come from walking with the One who created you.

    “In all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.” — Proverbs 3:6 (NIV)

    If you want better, start by seeking the Best. Prayer, time in the Word, and a simple “Yes, Lord” can move mountains.

    2. Don’t Just Dream It — Do It.

    We often spend more time thinking and talking about our goals than taking action on them. If you want your life to change, change something. God honors movement. Even a small step in the right direction is a step of faith.

    Ask yourself:
    ✅ What have I been putting off?
    ✅ What one action can I take today that aligns with God’s purpose for me?

    3. Break the Routine, Build Momentum.

    A better life isn’t always found in doing more — sometimes, it’s about doing something different. God may be calling you to leave your comfort zone so He can lead you to a higher calling.

    “See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?” — Isaiah 43:19 (NIV)

    Shake up your schedule. Try a new habit. Turn off the TV and turn on worship music. The Holy Spirit works in moments of intentional change.

    4. Surround Yourself with Growth-Minded People.

    Isolation slows progress. Community speeds it up. Find people who challenge you, uplift you, and pray with you. Whether it’s a church group, mentor, or online faith community, stay connected to others walking the same path.

    Growth is contagious when you’re in the right crowd.

    5. Obedience Unlocks Blessing.

    Let’s be real — sometimes the key to a better life is simply doing what God already told you to do. Stop hesitating. Stop waiting for perfect conditions. Say yes. Step out. Watch what God does.

    “Whatever He tells you to do, do it.” — John 2:5 (NIV)

    This is how Jesus turned water into wine — and it’s how He turns ordinary days into extraordinary destinies.

    🌟 Your Challenge This Week:
    • Pray a bold prayer: “God, what do You want me to do today?”
    • Do one thing that scares you — in faith.
    • Read John 2:1–11 and reflect on how obedience led to a miracle.
    Make that change!

  • THE IMPORTANCE OF SUCCESS-THINKING!

    THE IMPORTANCE OF SUCCESS-THINKING!

    How to get out of your head!

    Inspirational Thoughts and Sayings for Life, Success and Family

    Success is not an accident! 

    Effective thinking is an indispensible key to successful outcomes.  

    It is a fact… Successful people have learned to think and respond differently to adversity than most of society.  It doesn’t mean they are smarter or work harder. They’ve learned something that most of us miss…  The ability to see and respond positively to the setbacks life throws at all of us.  They’ve learned to see them, not as impenetrable road blocks, but as stepping stones on the path to their goals.  Once we understand what is really happening this mindset can be easily learned!

    Explore the habits of successful people.

    Below you will find a plethora of THE thoughts and attitudes of the Super Successful ~

    Self Assessment- When adversity hits, how do you respond? i.e.  WHAT DO YOU THINK?  

    • #1 Is your first thought something akin to “why does this always happen to me?”.
      • This type of reaction invariably results in a subconscious feeling of despair; that the world is against you and leads to a feeling of helplessness… It is an action stopper. Why even try?  Simply put #1 sets the stage for a VERY high likelihood of failure.
    • #2 Or is your first thought more like– “Crap!… Ok, how do I fix this?”…
      • #2 Is THE success response.  Yes, it’s a neutral acknowledgement that things happen.  But it’s so much more…  It recognizes and affirms that a solution exists and that it is within your ability to find it and implement it.    
      • #1 is an energy vampire.  It discourages action and without action FAILURE is CERTAIN. 
      •  #2 activates confidence, hope and action…  Almost immediately you experience constructive, solution oriented ideas that race to the forefront of your consciousness.  It is these thoughts and ideas that lead to solutions and success.  
      • Lastly #2 serves as an affirmation that becomes embedded in your subconscious that in time becomes the automatic mindset that setbacks and even temporary failures are a natural part of life and not to be feared. They become understood as just one more pothole on the road to your goals; a stepping stone rather than a brick wall.
    This mindset can be learned.

    Learn to think successfully… Your future depends on it!

    Below are THE thoughts and attitudes of the Super Successful! 

    How one normally, intellectually and emotionally responds to adversity has an extremely high correlation to the life’s goals they have or have not achieved.  Even more importantly it is a strong indicator of how many of their yet unrealized objectives they will or will not  actually achieve in the future.  

    True- Responding”How do I fix this”, is not the end all be all to success and the conquering of adversity…  However, it is ALWAYS the first step…  Without that step Failure is certain.

    Realize, it’s never too late to become the best, most successful version of you possible.  All you have to do is start!  

    As stated in an old Chinese proverb:

    The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is NOW.

    *Have you been procrastinating on starting that new business? *Waiting for the best time to ask for that raise? Or~ 0R

    *Maybe just haven’t gotten around to starting that home project? 

    Whatever it is… the best time to start is almost certainly NOW!

  • Coping with Adversity in 2025: Thriving Through Challenges

    Coping with Adversity in 2025: Thriving Through Challenges

    In 2025, adversity seems to come from all directions—economic uncertainty, global conflicts, environmental concerns, and personal struggles. But no matter what challenges we face, resilience is the key to pushing forward.

    1. Embrace Adaptability

    Change is inevitable, and those who adapt thrive. Whether it’s learning new skills, pivoting careers, or finding alternative solutions to daily struggles, being flexible keeps us ahead of the curve.

    2. Prioritize Mental Well-being

    In an era of constant information overload, taking time to disconnect and focus on self-care is essential. Meditation, exercise, and strong social connections help build inner strength.

    Take time to relax & unwind every day!

    3. Leverage Technology for Growth

    Rather than letting technology overwhelm us, we can use it to our advantage. Online learning, remote work opportunities, and AI-driven tools can help us navigate difficulties with efficiency and creativity.

    4. Find Purpose in Challenges

    Every challenge presents an opportunity for growth. Instead of seeing adversity as a setback, view it as a stepping stone to something greater. Those who embrace this mindset emerge stronger than ever.

    5. Stay Connected and Support Others

    Community matters more than ever. Whether through social media groups, networking events, or simply being there for friends and family, collective support can make a significant difference.

    Let’s link-up!

    As we move through 2025, let’s remember that adversity is not the end of the road—it’s a test of our resilience. By staying adaptable, prioritizing well-being, and supporting one another, we can turn challenges into opportunities for growth.
