This is a winner mindset. You are a winner when you push through challenging times. You are a winner when you overcome obstacles. Money and trophies don’t make you winners. Doing the right thing makes you a winner. Forgiving makes you a winner. Taking steps forward makes you a winner. Identifying who you are makes you a winner. Winning is not always about the awards you receive; it is deeper when you can achieve getting to know you. It is small things and big things. When you chose to love, you became a winner. Defining winning to you and celebrate your winning moments in life because you decided to be a better you. Have a great day and Smile! You are a winner!
Truth is vital and necessary. I shared on the podcast about truth Tuesday. Make sure to check it out. Getting right into it, truth be told. Honesty is the best policy and I agree to the statement the truth will set you free. It isn’t always easy to accept the truth, but the fact is truth is needed to be told. Being truthful promotes good relationships, good health, good conscious, and good spirit. I will share something with you. Recently, I been on this journey of discovering more about who I am, my purpose, my values, and growing through healing. Well on this journey, I have been having to face the past in order to heal. I been going through forgiveness of others, past experiences and from myself. I have had to look in that mirror and really be truthful to myself. I encourage that. Truth has to start with you. You have to be open and honest with you. You have to accept the truth within before accepting outwardly. Truth be told it isn’t easy but it is definitely worth it. I have had to have difficulty and uncomfortable conversations to be true to who I am no matter if the receiver is a good reciprocator or not. I had to tell the truth regardless of how the outcome may turn out because I have to live with a clear and peaceful mind, heart, and soul. Truth can hurt but it is worth it. Truth can cause you to lose people but it is worth it. You standing on truth, speaking 🗣 truth and accepting the truth is all worth it and necessary. Live in freedom and help others to be set free with the truth. I love you guys and hope you are staying encouraged and positive.
Mother Teresa said “Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.”
I woke up to find something incredible happened for me. Something I believed I would receive but not as fast 💨 as I received it. I woke up to an unexpected blessing. Why do I share this? Because you have to believe for the unexpected. Faith is a must. You have to have faith that things will get better. You have to speak 🗣 it and believe it in your heart. Thomas Aquinas says it like this “ To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible” Do you have faith? Are you going to believe in the midst of your life storms and hiccups? Will you keep the faith in your heart? You guys I am a witness the impossible is possible. I hope you stay encouraged and positive. Have faith Friday! Even when it is hard to see or not knowing the outcome, take that leap of faith!

It’s Thursday, and there is one more day to conquer before the weekend. This Thursday morning I had the word harmony stick out to me. I wanted to deviate from it, but my heart wouldn’t let me. I kept reading the definition, and of course, it keeps mentioning along the lines of music chords coming together. I thought, Lord, how do I tie this into a message for Thursday. Then, I read more about agreement and coming into one accord like harmonious relations. So today I want to encourage you in a very interesting and unique way to think of your favorite song 🎶. Think about how the different chords, different instruments, various melodies, maybe different vocalists all combine to make one song that harmony. Well, just like your song, we must learn to come together despite differences amongst those we interact daily with, live with, or even meet. When problems arrive, find ways to create harmony. Sometimes we have to meet in the middle, be reminded to agree to disagree, and most importantly love in the midst. Harmony is so beautiful and our heart is more at peace when harmony is created or even heard. Think about it, when you listen to your favorite song, everything else can be tuned out to hear that melody you love. Just as that song gives you that vibe, work to create a harmonious vibe with those around you. Trust me, I know some people harmony just cannot be in the mix 😂. That is okay too. Just make sure you keep peace in your heart around those in particular to keep harmony inside of you. Well, I hope this makes sense and can help someone. Remember if you can harmonize this Thursday! Don’t forget to Smile 😊!
Www.yourdictionary.com defines willpower as this “The strength of will to carry out one’s decisions, wishes, or plans. Willpower is defined as discipline and self-restraint. An example of willpower is someone being able to quit smoking. The unwavering strength of will to carry out one’s wishes”
So my question today in the middle of the week will you have the willpower, discipline, self- restraint to meet those goals you set? Are you willing to improve your willpower with practice of setting short term measurable realistic goals first? Setting an obtainable goal and work your way up. Example: sometimes I can do 40 push-ups no problem and other days I can only do 20. My long term goal is to do 46-50. To have the willpower to complete this, I have to get my thoughts positioned, set a goal of at least 2 reps of 20, discipline myself to practice this consistently once or twice a day. Now I am still working on the consistent part;however, I am disciplining myself to at least three days a week. As I become self discipline in three days a week consistently. I will see results of improvement toward my long term goal which will boost my willpower to carry on. I don’t know if that’s the best example for you, but please insert your own personal goal. Where do you lack the willpower? How are you going to increase your willpower(self discipline, self-restraint from short term temptation, and gain the strength to carry on with your decision, goals, and plans)?
