In today’s episode, we are going to talk about taking charge of your life and what it takes to become a better man. We will discuss the power of choice, sowing and reaping, and eliminating excuses from your life. You will leave inspired to take action and continue your journey of becoming a better man!

Let me remind you that you are not a man by accident. You were created with a purpose and intention by a God who knows you better than you know yourself.

You have what it takes to succeed in life in all areas.

Sure, there will be challenges and setbacks along the way, but with the right tools and the right spirit, you can become a man that makes a great impact on this world and the people around you.

All successful people have one thing in common – they possess a long-term perspective.

They live life knowing their present actions will determine or create their future experiences.

They have a sense of where they’re heading and have a plan to get there..

God gave you your life. What will you bring back to Him at the end of it? That’s up to you. Although Jesus is your Lord, this doesn’t mean He makes all your decisions for you. He won’t tell you how much to pray, how much to give above your tithe, what books to read, how much education to attain, what relationships to have, or how to distribute your time. He allows you the privilege of making what I will call an “executive” decision. Why? Because you are a steward over your life. God gives you guidelines and specific instructions at times, but the majority of your decisions are yours to make.

If Anything In My Life Is To Change, It Begins With Me.

So it must be with you. Thankfully, success and failure are predictable. They follow the natural law of sowing and reaping. The law simply states that for every seed you sow there is a proportionate harvest.

If you want to reap more rewards, you must sow more service, contribution, and value. Remember, a seed of nothing produces a season of nothing.

YOUR LIFE IS NOT A COINCIDENCE. IT'S A REFLECTION OF YOU!

One of the great enemies of personal success and continued progress is a refusal to take responsibility.

This is why I address the 4 responsibilities of manhood.

Condition of heart

Management of mind

Investment of time

Relationship with God

Take personal inventory

· Do I make excuses?

· Do I blame others for my mistakes?

· Am I not as far as I should be because of something else outside of my control?

· Do I believe others holding me back?

Winston Churchill said, “Responsibility is the price of greatness.”
