Some of us live our lives as though we are entitled to respect, privilege, and honor.  When we have an overwhelming sense of entitlement, it is exposed in the way we treat others: the way we talk to them and the way we respond to them.  Listen to this two-part series and uncover the pride that may dwell within us.

As we seek to assert ourselves in life, our preparation should happen Inside Out.  Our actions are a reflection of our inward beings thus it is important to start our process of becoming there.  Find out what is always holding you back, what always drags you down, and what keeps you in a cycle.  Deal with it by allowing your life to be shaped from the INSIDE first..

Storms don't come to disrupt your life, rather to clear your path! Be encouraged as you listen to this message of faith, hope, and strength.  Your perspective on the storms that come to your life are powerful.  See it as God allows it.

Showing appreciation for the blessings you have in your life is very important.  We can have so much negative going on that we become inundated with not being appreciative.  Let this help you put things into perspective. 

To keep your conscience clear and your reputation in tact, do not recycle foolishness.  When you know that it has no probative value, don't not keep it going.  We will find ourselves in a ditch when we act foolish and/or keep foolishness going around our offices, social media sites, or conversations.  

Making mistakes can be valuable.  Don't go through your life dwelling on one mistake.  Let it make you better, help you grow and develop, and become the best you that you can be.  Making mistakes is better than faking perfection.

Impressing God is not about your possessions or your sacrifices, it's about 3 simple things. Check it out!

Today, I rebuke the rebellion in you! That "thing" that you know you are supposed to be doing but you aren't.  The longer it takes for you to obey, the more time the enemy has to disrupt your life and everything attached to you! And while you are actively or passively rebelling, don't get mad at God for not blessing what you have made up! He is not going to fund that which He has not endorsed! His will over yours!

Even the strong need to "break down" once in a while.  This is not the same thing as a "breakdown".  There is a vast difference.  If you consider or if others consider you as a strong person, you should really listen to this for some important instructions.

If you improve your argument, you won't have to raise your voice.  Stop going into arguments unprepared.  If you find yourself yelling every time you get into an argument, this #Shift is for you!
