Uniqueness is All About YOU!

Uniqueness is defined as being the only one of its kind. Each of us has a particular and individual combination of skills, talents, interests, history, life experiences, and responses to our life experiences that makes us uniquely, well, us! Even identical twins, who share DNA and most life experiences, tend to have a unique makeup of skills and talents, which makes them unique as well.

Understand this: God created you to be UNIQUE, in HIS image. You were born for a specific purpose, focused destiny, and no one, I mean NO ONE can get the job done but you.  So how do you embrace your uniqueness? Here are some tips:

1) Knock the bad devil off of your shoulder! Stop listening to those negative things that you continually tell yourself. Those things are only meant to hinder and you and move you to procrastinate. Turn it around—speak life, speak positivity. Self declare that you are great!

2) Don’t comparison shop who you are to someone else! Stop wishing that you could have (buy) the life that you see someone else living. God has given you more than enough gifting and talents to go out and make things happen. Take the necessary steps to figure out exactly what you want out of life, and make a master plan of action to get it.

3) Following the crowd can leave a cloud! Just because it is the popular thing to do or fad to follow, doesn’t mean it is for you to do! Be your own trendsetter and change agent. Set the path, don’t trail the path!

4) Pay attention to your assets, not your liabilities! Look at the things that you can do, not what you can’t do. Focus on your potential, not your limitations. Perfect and excel!

5) Give your naysayers a linebacker block! Ear hustlers bring nothing but trouble to your ability and your mental capacity if you let them. Don’t listen to what others say about your ability or your ideas. It is not for them to accomplish- only you!

6) Toot your own horn! So what if no one praises you, or gives you accolades for the things that you do – shower yourself with them! You desire a standing ovation from YOU! You are not a quitter, you are focused, you are determined, and you are a success!!! Believe in it!

Life is made for you to fulfill a purpose and to enjoy being you while doing it. Love your life, love who you are, and love where you are going! Declare today “Happy YOU Day” – you deserve it!

Who's Calling You?

You are not qualified to be called, but you are called to be qualified! So many believe that they have to do this, do that, and only then will they be ready to go forth!!! But how many people know that all you need is a WORD from GOD to get started!!!

God called you to walk in the purpose that HE ordained you to walk in. Not mom, not dad, not your best friend, but GOD. Don’t allow others to chart a path for your destiny that will have you on a crash course to failure. Of course, you may not believe that God could call someone like you for a vision that appears to be outlandish to the natural eye. BUT, that is usually how it comes. If you are thinking too small and the vision that you believe you are called to is not that hard to obtain, then chances are it is not the TRUE vision but just a passionate desire. I don’t believe that God would give you a vision where He really would not be needed in order for you to achieve it. He just doesn’t operate like that.

I wholeheartedly believe that YOU can do what God has placed in you. Run with a passion and focus to fulfill it, and watch how He moves on your behalf!

Decisions, Decisions!

Decisions, Decisions, Decisions…we all have them to make! But the question is, will we make the right ones? I am not talking about general day to day decisions, like what am I going to eat, what I am going to where, etc.  I am talking more so of those major, life altering decisions, that have you at the fork in the middle of the road of your destiny. There are several things that influence our decision making, like what it takes, what actions are required to fulfill the decision, and what is the outcome of the decision.  So what do you do to ensure that you have made the most effective decision for your lives?  

1) SEEK GOD. I cannot stress this enough.  Try to 3A APPROACH. ASK – ACKNOWLEDGE –ACT.

A) Ask God what He would have you to do, the direction He would have you to go. Expect to get an answer.

B) ACKNOWLEDGE that you have received an answer from Him. Don’t second guess it, don’t waver, and don’t ask other’s their opinion of it. God’s answer is actual and factual, and is not up for debate.

C) ACT on what He has told you. Why ask if you don’t proceed with the instruction given? If it sounds a bit outlandish, or crazy to you…don’t worry, just do it! God is trying to stretch you beyond the sense of reasonable…His ways are beyond that, to get you to see the impossible come to past inside of you!

2) Discern what others speak to you. Sometimes God may not give you an answer directly from Him, but may use someone else to speak to you. Check the words and the spirit behind the words that you receive, and CONFIRM them with Him.

 3) Don’t live in the season of regret! If you thought you had it right, and you do miss the mark, just look to aim better the next time! A skilled sharpshooter was a horrible aim when they first began! All things that don’t work out the way you thought usually have a message within for you to grasp and learn for the next time of opportunity. Don’t be afraid to step out and live fearlessly!

Make it a point to prioritize your decisions and live the life that is destined within you!

Stay In The Water!

We are all familiar with the story of Jesus and the disciples when they were fearful in the boat. Jesus summoned Peter to walk on the water towards him, and he did so momentarily. The split moment he began to let fear slither into his being, he began the sink and drown. After analyzing this story, I thought to myself-why is it that when God gives us a directive, we follow it for a while and stray, or don’t follow it at all? Why can’t we seem to get it right…and keep it right? I mean if God wants us to be the head and not the tail, below and not beneath, highly favored, etc…why aren’t we? Success awaits us, it has been entrusted to us, we have been empowered to walk in it. We can’t just wait for it to fall in our laps and expect it to all be smooth sailing! What I would like for you to do is not just envision yourself walking on the water; but actually diving in and swimming in it!

Just like a scuba diver jumps in a lake or the ocean water to find life species or treasures, so must you do the same to find your treasure! Your treasure is in trusting that God will lead you, He will provide for you, He will sustain you!

Fear, doubt, procrastination are the drowning agents of your destiny. Nothing can quickly zap out your calling than these things.

Let me let you in on one of my passions. I absolutely love the being in the atmosphere of the ocean. It’s serenity, its peacefulness, its calming effect does wonders. The coolness of the water just sets me to a place of euphoric contentment. Same goes for a nice, elegant pool setting (but not at as high of a level). But guess what? I can’t swim a lick. Now, does that stop me from getting in the water, even jumping in the water? Not one bit. Now don’t get me wrong, I am not stupid, I am not going to put my life in jeopardy, I do use wisdom when I am frolicking in the waves. I am trying to make a point here. As I am jumping the water, I trust GOD enough that I know that I won’t drown, there won’t a chance of unfortunate mishaps to occurs. So the same should be with your life plan. When God gives you a plan, He trusts that you have enough in you to perform it. He trusts that you trust HIM enough to know that He will not allow you not to fail.

So what are you waiting for? The water is waiting for you to jump in. You will not regret what where it leads you. Treasure awaits!

Stick to It!

When I accomplish a goal, I often ask myself, “What have I become to achieve this goal?” An often time, the answer to that question excites me more than the goal itself!

This is a very interesting saying that I came across just now. And it really makes me think deep about the meaning within, who have I became, what I have accomplished all these years and what had happened so far.

The majority of us set our goals to succeed in something. Whether it is having a successful business, becoming a millionaire, losing 50 pounds, or having a high power career, we feel as though we have arrived.  There is nothing wrong with this, but you should remember that the reward you receive from reaching your goals is just the fruit, the by-product.  What really matters is the transformation of you along the way.

Yes, think about it. Who we are going to become in our journey of pursuing our dreams and our goals  are the REAL rewards. Once you have travelled the path, you will realize that you will eventually become a different person, regardless of whether you successfully accomplished your goals.

If you set a specific goal earlier this year and you accomplished it, chances are you were more confident and committed this year.

If you failed to achieve your goal from earlier this year, you may not feel so confident or committed as you would like, but please do not give up and do not feel disappointed. Pick yourself up, trust and believe that although you didn’t get it done in the past, you are going to get it done!  Tell yourself that even though you did not accomplish it, you have learned something and have thus grown to be a better person than before.

As long as you learn something and never give up, you are not considered as a failure. Victory is still within your grasp! Somehow you learned something and you changed, you move a little closer toward your goals and you now have more experience.

When you think back about the first part of this year and what you have done, do you feel proud or do you feel unsatisfied? Only you can answer this question.

If you have achieved your targets, you may feel great and satisfy. However, if you failed to accomplish what you have set, you may feel unsatisfied or disappointed and you might wish to turn back time. We all know that we cannot turn back the time, what we can do right now is to learn from our past. Learn from it and decide now that we are not going to live another mediocre year this time.

Now that this is the second part of the year, what are you going to do? Contrary to what you think, you can have a brand new beginning. You can achieve a lot of what you want in just one year. Work all the way out and put in 100% commitment to achieve all your dreams and goals!
