Work to Become Better

 Self-Portrait

Transcend into your highest potential today. Start the day with anything that makes you feel hopeful and positive. Steer your mind away from things you have no control over. Positivity will push you into quantum leaps. The more you stay away from things you have no control over, the more powerful your creative side will be, leading you towards goals and dreams much quicker.

Your physical and mental health should be your top priority. If you believe in God, put God in your driver’s seat first, thanking Him for the new day and for your gifts and miracles that are coming. I miss the days when we relied more on our sources at hand, versus shortcuts in technology. While I am grateful for progress, it’s best also to remember how we started with the basics whenever you feel in a rut or stuck.  The basics are powerful tools.

Read or listen to something positive and uplifting and tune out the news. The news will be there at the end of the day. It’s hard to lead by example when you are worried, stressed, and angry. When you choose to be in a good mood, even the most negative people will not have a strong hold on you. They attract more people like them. You want to be pulled towards positive people, those full of hope and wisdom.

We often hear, " Keep your eye on the prize,” and that’s fine, but I keep my eye and my heart on God, for I know that He is the one who has pulled me through the toughest of times. I don’t rely on people to lift me. People disappoint. God takes us to our purpose. Tune out the negative in the world, and open your heart to hope.

I used to wonder why I had to go through many struggles in life, years ago.  Today, I can see much more clearly, for I see the courage and strength those times gave me. Tough times are what build character, not easy times. The bigger your purpose, the harder your journey will be, molding you into a powerful person for your influential purpose. Don’t wish things to be easier, wish you to be better, according to Jim Rohn. That’s a great philosophy to live by.

It will hurt, it will be difficult at times, and it will bring tears, frustration, sacrifice, and even doubt. Yet, those who push through the tough times reap the rewards and reach their destiny. Doubt is human, but God is the cure for fear, and the results will be faith. Faith is success and peace.

Never let anyone’s negative words about you touch your heart. People don’t determine your destiny. Jealous people won’t encourage you.  Remember, those who try to pull you down are threatened because you are doing something great. People are not threatened by losers. They are threatened by winners. Keep moving forward with a smile, knowing that you are being divinely guided.

I’ve had people who refuse to acknowledge any good that I do or accomplish. I could let them bring me down, but I know from years of experience that these people are not happy with their own journey. I just remind myself to let it roll off my shoulder. You don’t need everyone’s praise. I just want to do right by God and keep moving forward. I’ve gotten good at patting myself on the back!  😉 

To your success, rock it!
