Welcome to DaveSpiration, your weekly Podcast to Inspire you not to give up on anything you have been designed to do.

30 Day Motivation, it was simply too good to help motivate someone in their self development and to bless them as well.

Life is a Journey.

Every journey has three stages, namely Departure, Duration, and Destination.

To embark on a journey, you have to begin from somewhere to get to someplace.

Before anyone sets off on a journey, they have a destination in mind. No one purchases an airplane, bus, or a train ticket without knowing their destination.

“Life will not give you what you want,

Life will give you what you place a demand on”.

Many people have placed their lives in default or on autopilot and just wishing one day, things will turn out to the better.

How To Change Yourself in Positive Ways by Tory Johnson (September 01, 2015 online publication) and here are 5 steps. 

Step 1: How fed up are you, really? In other words, are you finally sick of the way things are now? When you’re at the point where the pain of the present outweighs the pain and sacrifice that change demands, you’re ready to shift. 

Step 2: What are you willing to give up? Big change requires big sacrifice. There’s no way around it. If you want to shift for good, nothing can be more important than tackling your goal. You must be willing to give up things that are near and dear to you, including certain behaviors, to succeed. You must be ready to commit fully—be willing to accept the shift as an all-or-nothing deal, as hard as it sounds. The process is hard but becomes easier to live with over time. 

Step 3: What’s your plan? There’s no winging it if you’re serious about making a significant life change. You need to establish clear, concise rules in order to eliminate ambiguity. Make a simple plan for how you’re going to take on your issue. 

Step 4: What’s your daily accountability? It’s easy to slip up when nobody’s looking. It’s also possible to fool yourself into thinking that you’re on track when you’re not. Take a moment to review each day to see which emotions and attitudes reigned: calm or panic, happiness or anger, joy or joyless. If you consistently practice the action steps you outlined in your plan, you’ll see and feel results. Progress begets progress, which makes daily accountability important. Step 

5: How will you develop patience and celebrate your victories? It’s hard to go from panic to perfect overnight, no matter how much we want it to work that way. A journey toward wholeness takes time. To stay motivated, celebrate teeny victories with rewards that won’t derail your success.

Episode 003

Captains or pilot in command of commercial airplanes have a routine safety checklist they go through before every flight regardless of how many times they have flown that particular aircraft or machine.

After the aircraft technicians have performed, completed and signed off on their safety check list, the captain or the pilot in command of the flight also performs a safety inspection of the exterior of the aircraft and the instruments they depend on.

Not that the captain does not trust the aircraft technician's safety checklist but because he/she is the ones responsible for the flight and the souls on board, they have to ensure they perform their safety inspection as well.

After performing the safety inspection, from the startup of the engines, to push back from the gate, to taxing for take-off has to be authorized by the air traffic controller.

The air traffic controller sits in a tower somewhere in the airport who the pilot does not see or know but only hears their voice over a two-way radio communication system.

Commercial pilots will not take-off from an airport without being cleared by an air traffic controller.

Why are my reflecting on a commercial pilot?

I'm glad you asked.

I see Leadership most especially Christian leadership as playing the role of a commercial pilot.

We are carrying the lives of people to a destination of Hope and Faith.

There are people in our families, and ministries that look up to us for direction and one careless mistake can cause the life of many individuals.

As a leader, you have to depend on the voice of God for daily divine direction.

The difference between us as Leaders and the Commercial Pilot is that we know God but sometimes we cannot identify His voice to obey His instructions and commands due to distractions and our noisy environment.

The pilot does not know the controller but they can identify their voice and obey their instructions and commands.

As leaders, we have to begin our day with our safety checks of Prayer, Studying the Word of God and Meditating on His word.

We also have to come to a place in our lives where we will take inventory of our lives every day and develop the mindset of hearing from God when we wake up, to the start of our day, to going about our daily activities till we come to the end of our day.

God has us on His radar just as the air traffic controller sees every airplane in their airspace on their radar by squawking a transponder code.

Regardless of how and when we wake up, let us make our open dialogue with God a priority.

Don't allow yourself to be distracted by your phone, tablet, social media or TV if God is number one in your life.

Don't leave your house without speaking to God Who sees further than we do and knows than we know.
