Procrastinating is a dream snatcher! When you are feeling overwhelmed by situations and circumstances that is the prime time to take a step toward your goals a step toward your dreams. Don’t be so distracted by trouble or shiny things that you stop believing in your purpose. You can do this, take just 1 step. Stretch just a little more. Reach a little higher. Dig a little deeper! Your power will come!!!

An excuse is merely fear talking. When you use an excuse for not taking an action you are justifying procrastination, false reasons and lies. In this podcast Loretta shares lots of examples of successful people who could have used tons of excuses to support their reasons for not accomplishing greatness. If they had allowed excuses to dictate their lives we would not know about their amazing lives at all. Our goal is to always inspire you to let faith and tenacity rule your decisions and not excuses.

Dreams do not have an expiration date, nor a perfect date to start. There are thousands and thousands of positive examples of people way past 30 years old making their dreams manifest. The difference between where you are and where you desire to be is one action away. Words don’t make dreams manifest nor does wishing, only intentional and sometimes unintentional action can cause dreams to manifest. Something has to move. Something has to be sacrificed . And something has to change to cultivate the mind and heart of the dreamer to finally decide to pursue his or her dreams. No one can do this for us. Make today that day you totally commit to manifesting your dreams. Baby steps count! Take a step towards your destiny. Don’t let fear speak for you. Let your faith speak loudly. Carpe Die!

Loretta reads Judges 6:11-16 to encourage us that we really are more than conquerors. Gideon said he was from the weakest family group and that he was the least important member of his family. Yet God used him mightily. God doesn’t label us like that, He sees the best in us at all times. God is always with us and making a way out of no way for us especially in times like these. Loretta also reminds us to be grateful for all things and to offer grace to others in all situations. We can only accomplish these things through faith.

This episode is filled with words of encouragement for tough times. Loretta reminds us to be concerned but not consumed with the media headlines. Stay informed, be smart, be cautious and brave. We will get through this and become stronger for having persevered. We were born to win. Read Joshua 1:9 and recite it daily out loud! And be encouraged.

Liberate yourself and this will help liberate others! The world is in need of and waiting on what only we as individuals can give to change this world for greater!!! Tough times and bad days do not negate the role and responsibilities we have to do our part. Be you! And I will see you at the top! #keeplistening #always
