Affirming yourself is confidence, not arrogance.

How often do you kill the negative thoughts over yourself? How often do you switch those “I can’t do this” for “I can do all things through Christ, who gives me strength”? Do you speak out the good thoughts over yourself? Too often others say, when you speak the good stuff that you’re doing, it’s arrogance. I challenge you my friend to get a clearer view of arrogance vs. affirmation.

Let’s go deeper. Arrogance is boasting on your own accomplishments. Affirmation is speaking out what God says you are. Here is an example: you start a business, you put in the hard work, you tell everyone it was all you, that nobody helped you, it was done by “me-self”. Now let’s try the affirmation. Thank, God, for giving you the strength to accomplish the task at hand, thank God for the connections He has brought for you to build this business in your desires, thank God for giving you the knowledge to do what you need for your business. Why? All because you are a child of the Most High! You are fearfully and wonderfully made in the image of God Almighty! You can do all things through Christ who gives you strength. Why? Because God gave everything that was most precious to Himself for you to live the empowered life you desire. How would your day change if you started off telling yourself that every morning?

Is it easy to change from boasting to affirming? NO! Wait…What? Seriously my friend it is a mind shift, that does take time, but it is all in your words. Instead of “I did_______”, how about trying “I am______, because of________”. Start today, right now even. Who are you? Why? What can you do? Who can you do it for? Take your time on this and grow in grace for yourself through this process!

Your mind must be stronger than your body

Sprained ankle, broken bone, under the weather, the list can go on, but when was the last time your body went, “um, not today”? When you know you will cause yourself pain you usually change directions for a safer path, right? In every situation, if you listen, you can get a sense of the correct actions to take, but only if you have a wise and clear mind.

Your strength is not promised for the rest of today, let alone tomorrow. The mind however when you build it, daily, it is less likely to fail you. Even in sports situations, the mind is your greatest tool. Any sport, physical activity, take a strategy to be the top in any pursuit. Yet your mind must be stronger than the situation, the circumstance, your past, your future, and be grounded in the correct source of strength.

Where is your knowledge coming from?

Are you strengthening your mind to be at its strongest?

When you get into a “sticky” situation, are you using your mind to get the solution or your emotions?

Pray without ceasing

Seriously, be in talks with God about everything. When you connect with God, in every aspect of your life, you will find that growth comes easier. Now should you be in your prayer closet 24-hours a day, neglecting work, abandoning all other responsibilities, that is a huge NO! However, when you couple your thoughts, prayers in continual communication with the Provider, of your hopes and desires, you will notice that not only are your requests being answered in your favor more frequently but that your desires change to honor and glorify God more.

So where and when are these prayers to take place, you may ask?

Wherever you are is where you need to talk to the Father, and it may begin here: at work stop a second and thank God for your job and how to get the best results in your day. You may be in line to get dinner at the grocery store, tell God thank you for that provision, and ask Him what will anoint your body with the greatest results. If you are at the gym working on your healthy body, ask God to come alongside you for the best technique for the biggest payout for this day. And here is one that may get you out of your comfort zone, ask for that better job that just may give you the freedom in time.

You get the point. Wherever you are you can and get the honor to go before the throne of God to talk about your day, ask Him for your hopes and desires, cry to Him over your heartaches, rejoice in Him for your victories, and so on.

What will you talk to Him about next?

Whose cup can you fill today?

Are you giving small deposits to someone? Are you getting deposits from others? What are these deposits you ask? Deposits equal knowledge, tips, inspiration, hope, disciplines. Who are you getting these from? Who are you giving to in these deposits? Not everyone you encounter will appreciate your information, and that is ok. That, however, is no reason to keep your nuggets of creativity, innovation, and wisdom locked away.

Now, on top of not everyone appreciating your knowledge, not all knowledge and wisdom is of the same quality or classification. You must be careful where you get your information. Is your information vetted from a reliable source? Are you giving out information that is not only true but is reaching the person on their level? Are you giving so much of yourself you can’t possibly continue on this path? Are you taking so much from your source of filling you have depleted their cup to empty?

I know today’s tip has lots of questions attached. But once you start delving into each of these questions you can see where you can begin to pour into others, while getting your accurate amount of filling and replenishing your source to fill them as they fill you. Take the time to really get to the bottom of this one today…it may be the very next thing you need to succeed.

Why are you scared?

What is holding you back from your dreams and purpose? OK Hold the phone, what is really keeping you from acting on those dreams you have had for years? You have maybe put all the plans together. You might have started buying some supplies you need for it, BUT why haven’t you JUMPED YET!? Start that business. Push the play button on that podcast. Begin that youth mentorship program in your community. WHATEVER IT IS, DO IT NOW!

Here is the question again…. Why are YOU scared? Really think about that.

What part of success is the challenge in your life?

Is it the thought of it actually working, taking off, and or becoming bigger than what you think?

Listen, YOU are not the only one in the world that has had those thoughts. These thoughts will paralyze you if you are not careful. The thing that you are scared of, is the very thing that will free you, just get moving.

Why are you scared?

What inspired you, will inspire others!

Who is watching you? Ready for the answer? EVERYONE. You are the person that someone has seen and said “wow, they are my inspiration!!” Scary at times, yet so encouraging. You know why? Because what you are, who you are, what is inside of you has impacted someone to be a better them.

Now in being an inspiration there comes a call to servitude or a call to pass it on. What does that look like? Well, my friend, it could be bringing coffee to the security guard at work and thanking them for their good job. It could take on the actions of teaching a class to kids in your neighborhood, such as chess or reading. What you can’t teach reading? Can you listen to a kid at the library while they read and get better at that skill? This effort may take some of your time, maybe a financial investment of sorts, but I promise you it will mean the world to the one it impacts!

Where will you start?

Whom will you seek to inspire and impact today?

As you think of the answer, remember you may never get the full answer to that question. It is imperative to be mindful of your thoughts, actions, and words, as you never know who is watching you, or who is the next person you will inspire!

Who is your go to person in a crisis?

What type of counsel do you get when you are in crisis? Do you go to the person that is going to make you feel good about the outcome you think you want? Or are you going to the person that will set you straight, in love, but maybe with some firm words, resulting in your taking some accountability for your role in the situation? It may be easier to “feel” good when someone “takes your side”, at least for the moment. But, have you ever had a situation where you got the fluff, went with the fluff, and came to regret that choice.

Here is the tip in this tip: Always seek wise, sound, grounded counsel that is willing to step on your toes to get you moving in your purpose! Find a friend, mentor, coach, preacher, counselor, or somebody that is willing to stand in love, for you, with you, and if need be, against you to get you through this life. You need someone to motivate you.

So I ask you again: Who is your go-to person in a crisis?

Choose wisely, my friend.

Discipleship is about connecting, not just another number.

Discipleship comes in so many different ways and forms. It could be a karate instructor, a teacher, a neighbor, parent, and or leader in some arena.

True discipleship is a two-way road of building each other up, investing for the growth and improvement of one another, learning and teaching in discipline, and that just begins the list. A genuine mentor is an individual that not only seeks to lead but one that learns from you. In learning you they learn how to hone your gifts in order for you to advance.

So when you allow someone to disciple you, you give them the gift of learning what they can only learn from you. This could come in a variety of lessons, but it is unique to only you. Whom are you discipling? Whom are you allowing to disciple you? This could be truly anyone you encounter, the bus driver, your plumber, your pastor, your neighbor, your coach, etc.

When You Feel _______, Remember You Have Value!

In this day and age, it is so easy to get tied up in feelings… Think about it, when you feel tired, it becomes easy to “slack” on making dinner, fall off your diet plan and breakdown and get that quick fast food bag, and feel horrible 10 min. later. My point…no matter how you feel or how you fill in the blank of today’s tip; who you are, and how valuable you are, have nothing to do with your actions. It also has nothing to do with how others see you or try to direct you.

However, in not holding your value in your feelings there are things you must hold strong to. Many have called them non-negotiables. In these, you must realize not everyone is your fan, on your side, or has your best interest at heart. In saying that, my friend be cautious in whom you allow pouring into you. Find wise counsel that has your betterment in mind for the purpose in you, not the purpose they try to place in you. As you go through your day today remember who you are.

What is your purpose?

Where is your mission?

Where does your value reside?
