Change can be so many things. One thing that most people say about change is that it's hard. I will have to disagree, I think change is a challenge sent from God to help us get to a new season in our life. Most people get stuck in their bubble because it's comfortable and safe. When God is trying to tell you that it's time to make a change so you can move up to the next level in your life. You can't be afraid of change. Take the challenge head on.

The saying common sense is not so common use to be a running joke. Today, that joke is not running. It's standing still because it's true. It takes nothing to be kind to someone, but as a society we have made being kind hard. The next thing is competition, this generation is so afraid of competition. Nobody is willing to compete the right way. The right way is standing toe to toe and saying, "I will beat you" Instead we have people that will go behind your back and try and beat you the wrong way. Common sense is not so common.

I struggled with opening up to people in my life and allowing them to see all of me. It was because I thought if I allowed them to see all of me, they would leave. I lived with this fear for a long time, and I realized that I had to let the world see all of me so I can help heal or help someone. I have missed out on opportunities because I wasn't willing to open up and let people in and try new things. You will never know where you are supposed to be or who you are supposed to help if you are not willing to open up and try new things.

The bible talks about two types of passions. Your passion that is on path with your purpose, and your passion that is of the world. It's so easy to get off track and follow what the world is doing but that's when you have to remember your purpose. You have to remember the true desires of your heart. You must make sure that your passion is in alignment with God's purpose for you.

1 peter 5:7 says cast all your worries on God and he will carry them for you. What a GOD?!! I know that's easier said than done because most times we pray and we expect God to move right away. That's when our faith has to kick in and we have to believe that once we give God our worries, it's already fixed, but we have to move and think as if it's already done.

It's one word that I love in the definition for choices. POWER... We all have the power to choose, but most times we make decisions based off of other influences. Rather you have made a bad or good choice, you can still learn and move on to the next choice knowing that you will never be perfect, but you can always use your power to make the best choice

Growing up and playing sports, one of the things my coach would always say is "you got more in you". As a coach it's their job to push you to your limit. It's their job to get as much of hard work out of you as possible. Well in life it's the same way. At times we get tired and we want to stop, but God says he is in us and the more that we need is him. When we get tired, we have to rely on him and know that he will supply us with more than enough to not only get by but win and dominate.

I heard someone say you never truly heal. I disagree; I think they are many different types of healings. You have physical, mental and many more, but I think allowing yourself to heal is a choice. You have to want to heal and give yourself that peace. I also think happiness is tied to healing. Doing the things that make you happy can help you heal and forgiving someone and then moving on and not allowing them in your space is healing. You forgive but you never forget. When you forgive you release that power that someone have over you.

Daily gratitude will always open up the door for more blessings. I believe it's true what they say, daily gratitude is important. Having a mindset of lack with keep you thinking you don't have enough, but when you practice gratitude, you develop a mindset of always having more than what you need.

8 years ago I got a call from a high school classmate that I never really talked to at all. Shortly after that conversation Talk to me Tuesday was born. Take a listen as I talk about how it all started and how I plan to take it to another level. I plan to take this podcast to the #1 spot for motivation and with her feedback I can make the changes that will only help serve you more.
