As we stand at the crossroads of a new beginning, let us welcome the change with open arms and a hopeful heart.

Embrace the opportunities for growth, let go of the past, and paint the canvas of your life with the vibrant hues of possibility.

In the realm of new beginnings, there lies a world of untold potential, waiting to be explored and experienced.

So, take that first step, for in doing so, you embark on a journey that holds the promise of transformation and fulfillment.

Self love and acceptance is perhaps the best gift you can give yourself.

Self love and acceptance is without condition; it means that you accept yourself as is, flaws and all.

It also allows you to freely experience and express a full range of emotions.

Unconditional self love and acceptance is a valuable quality.

Somehow, what you resist, persists.

The very things that we focus on not wanting seem to reappear in our lives over and over, creating unintended and undesirable situations and circumstances.

So, What is it that you are resisting?

My invitation for you this week is to look at what you have been resisting in your life.

Those things you keep procrastinating out of fear or self doubt.

Identify these things, and schedule them in your “To Do List” today.

Learn how to transcend resistance by stepping outside your comfort zone to unlock your infinite potential.

Whatever you put consistent effort in grows. There is great wisdom in starting small and growing big over time likewise there is great wisdom in starting your journey to success one step at a time.

The key to growth and progress is to do a bit more each new day than you did the previous day and make small improvements as you move along.

Little steps taken over time have the potential to make a difference. The small steps and actions add up over time incrementally.

So, No step is too small. Keep building on it. Dream big and start small is a useful advice to remember.

Isaiah 44:22 …. “I have swept away your offenses like a cloud, your sins like the morning mist. Return to me, for I have redeemed you”.

Life is a race where everyone has a unique lane, and the smooth way to ride for a long distance is to stick to your lane so that there is no chaos in the journey. Everyone has their own lane, maintain yours because there’s less traffic and no speed limit in your lane.

Change is an unavoidable constant in our work lives.

Sometimes it’s within our control, but most often it’s not.

Even though we are never free from change, we are always free to decide how we respond to it.

And the major thing to do is to accept the fact that change happens, and employ our freedom to decide what to do next.

1. Through the trials, I learned to trust in God.

God knows what you're ready for.

He knows what your arms are able to carry, he knows what your heart can contain, he knows what’s coming, and He knows how and when to prepare you for it.

He knows the right time, the right place, the right person, and the right answer.

2. Sometimes life doesn’t make sense. Sometimes there is no good reason for the events that take place.

But most times, you’ll realize it will all make sense for a much better reason, if you’re patient enough to wait.

Taking a shortcut isn't always profitable, doing the right thing may take longer but just trust the process, because your reward is sure.

3. People tend to consider being vulnerable a bad thing. It's not. Vulnerability reminds us that we're human. It keeps us open to giving and receiving love. Without at least a little, we can become someone living in a prison of our own making, where the walls are so thick that no one can get in or out. Giving and receiving love is vital to human existence and the only method of receiving love is to give love, because what we give out must come back.

The greatest power in our lives is the power of the mind.

For most of us, that power is scattered around, so we don’t get much use of it, When it is directed at something, it’s usually directed in the wrong place.

But regardless of what strategy you use to try to be successful or productive just remember that anytime you find the world distracting you, all you need to do is commit to one thing.

In the beginning, you don’t even have to succeed.

You just need to get started and be intentional about it.

Getting better at what you do can be achieved through deliberate practice.

Deliberate practice and timeless repetition is what turns amateurs into professionals.

Across every field, deliberate practice is what creates top performers and what they use to stay at the top of their game.

Think about it, the hours you spent at basketball practice, shooting hoops or completing drills, develop skills that eventually become automatic.

Think about driving a car.

Although learning to drive involved complex precision, remember the many lessons you had with your driving coach, arguing about when to change gears, brake, accelerate - all while trying to follow the road rules.

Through practice these actions became automatic.

You now no longer think about driving - you just get in the car and drive.

Sustained, repeated (Deliberate) practice is needed to get better at what you do.

It's absolutely essential for expert performance.

Does it sound like a lot of work?

You bet it is.

You will not be an expert overnight so keep working!
