I focus on talking about things that you can do something about right now and not focusing on the things that you can't do something about. We often find ourselves in a state of no action.  We spend so much time sometimes thinking about things we can't do anything about when you find yourself in this situation become logical and figure out what you need to do right now and then focus your efforts in that direction. you can write down a plan that has stationary things that you need to do in a day where you don't forget but spend some time actually doing the things you need to do write down the things that you don't need to forget but you don't have to spend all of your time focused on things you can't do anything about or things that's happening in the future whether you know about them or whether you don't whether you completely understand everything in the future or whether you don't you need to focus on what you need to do right now. A lot of times what you can do is start those things you know to do but start them early and get a lot of things done to get momentum.

Taking time every day to recognize that we're blessed and the things that God has given us,  how far we've come, and just enjoying those moments, that we have in life that we often take for granted or don't even take time to appreciate. We  just keep moving forward. Take some time every day to appreciate those things, and put yourself in a state of gratitude that will affect your life profoundly. If we do this everyday, if we start thinking about how far we've come, and what God is blessed us with, and meditate on the things that he is blessed us with,  if we do that everyday for the rest of our life, it will change our lives. The seond thing I talk about today is that God is a God of everywhere he understands our situation. Way beyond what we can even comprehend and that gives us Faith to know that he not only knows where we're at but he knows the situation so much greater than we do. Then we can have faith because he knows exactly where we're at. I talk about how that we need to continually put the good in because when we continually put the good in it changes what our focus is. It changes how we interact with people. Subconsciously it changes us to have more, to be more, to be grateful it changes us in our everyday life on things that we cannot possibly completely understand. 

Talking about the greatness of God. Some of the amazing  things God does. He sent his Son to die on the Cross for our sins that whoever would receive him would have eternal life. I talk about Romans 10.

This Episode talks about being real with people and not being fake and trying to cover up stuff. Also, about not seeking glory but seeking the right thing. When you do that you're not seeking the wrong thing like glory, but your seeking the right thing to do. The third thing is being easy and gentle with people and listening to them. Sometimes we don’t always have to know it all, but we can listen and take time to meet them where they are. We don’t even have to agree sometimes we can still listen to people. Some people may try to hurt you but learning to be still good and not let it mess you up but loving people anyway. 

Being prepared in all those areas in your life.  Sometimes the things that they  say that are hurtful may have some truth that we can learn from sometimes. Those things in your life what are those areas that you can learn from. What are those areas you can do better on. Name those areas in your life that you can do better on. Your work relationships your personal relationships what are those things you need to do better? 

What are the small things you can do in those areas that make small progressive change in the right direction. You don't always have to have big moves just small consistent moves makes a big difference. Start identifying what matters and what don't matter. A lot of things that you do right now may not matter in the next 5 minutes. Some things that people do and say don't matter in the next five minutes. The action point is sometimes not focusing on the stuff that doesn't matter. That also means those thoughts that don't matter. Some thoughts that come through your mind are just a waste of time, and certaintly don't need to focus on them. If you cannot do something about what your thinking on why focus on it. Does it really deserve that much of your time? Start focusing on what you do need to do something about. Start focusing on what you can do right now that is productive, start thinking on things that are productive. This may help you stop a lot of thoughts that come into your mind that are not productive and are just a waste of your time. You cannot always stop these thoughts but if you start to recognize them you can start to recognize and redirect to something you should be doing when you can.

Start identifying the areas you need to improve.

What are the things you  can start working on in those areas. 


Two things you can do right now that should help you.
Small progressive steps consistently in the right direction adds up to be big change.

Do everything as if it was unto the Lord.

Talking about 1 Thessalonians 5 and being at peace among others. We need to make sure that we are not in pride. Minimizes trouble when you can dwell among others in peace . We have set our mind and focus that we are on going to do the right thing. Love the Lord thy God with all your mind soul and strength and love thy neighbor as thyself. Focus on sowing good seed. You don’t always have to feel like doing good to do good. Focus on doing what is right in action regardless whether you feel like doing it or not. Choose to listen, sometimes being at peace means just shutting your mouth and listening. You might not always agree but sometimes listening keeps the peace. Don’t render evil for evil. Leave it with God, pray about it and let him handle your troubles. You are not the judge he is. 

Rejoice always. If you chose to rejoice always what would your days be like. I heard it said that if we count our blessings they will multiply. Giving thanks to God in your life for things he has given you. Join together with like-minded people. Learn to listen to others we don’t always have to agree but sometimes it feels good just to be heard. Pray without ceasing. Sometimes I think we need to just say God what would you have me do in this situation. In everything give thanks. Just a small prayer of thanks. Thank you Lord for the blessings in my life. Start to name the things God has blessed you. It starts changing our mindset. Be a positive seeker. Look for the blessings God is doing.

Podcast 12 is talking about making sure we're not complaining in our mind and in our life. Making sure we're not talking about people. Making sure we're speaking good about people. Understanding that complaining and murmuring and talking about people is Joy Steelers. 
Refocus your mind on what you need to be thinking about right now and doing right now. A action step is to start to recognize the thoughts that we don't need to think. We cannot always do something about those things. What we can do sometimes when we take thought is try to redirect our actions and our thoughts to what we need to be thinking about right now.

The  notes are below.

 

Podcast 12 Fulfill ye my joy.

Phillipians 2 , talking about fulfill you my joy.

 I think it is super important for us to operating in joy. So many times in your our life we have some much going on that we don’t take time to enjoy it. 

Make sure you are having joy in your life. 

That means scheduling things you want to do that may bring you joy

2nd part of this is have joy in what your having to do. Make the best out of the situation your in……

Choose to be joyous.

Choose your focus, you may be saying you don’t understand what I have to go through. The truth is I don’t but I do know this. You will never get this time again. Make the best of it by choosing what you focus on. Choose what you can do that is productive, refocus on things you can do something about. The bible talks about doing everything as to the Lord. Some may have difficult people in there life. Sometimes we have to ignore things, get away from situations but in most cases if you realize that most things people say doesn’t matter beyond five minutes you can start focusing on what you can do and focus on more important things and 

14 and 15 

Murmurings and disputings…..

Choose not to complain or talk about other people. Those things are joy stealers.  If there is nothing that is productive that can come from it why say it why think about it.

Another Step – The thoughts that try to come into your mind that is not productive or put you in a bad mood choose to redirect by focusing on something that is positive. The first key to start to recognize them and then you can start to redirect your focus and hopefully actions on other things that matter and that are good.

The bible talks about think on good things.

Don’t have time to talk about people, it is hurting you and you may not even know it. At the very least it is a waste of time. 

Another point is don’t wait for your day to be good make up your mind regardless what happens your going to have a good day.
