Devotions, Self Improvement, motivation and Love for humanity.

 Hi, In case nobody told you today; You are beautiful. You are loved. You are needed. You are strong. You are enough.  You matter.  There's always that one person who really secretly cares for you. Never change to be accepted by others, stay weird. Sometimes your worst enemy is your own memory, let it go. Be kind to all people, you are making a difference whether you realize it or not. You matter.  What you do could change somebody's life and what they can overcome. I want you to know that you matter because when we take one step towards God. He takes seven steps toward us. You matter.  I want you to know that you matter because you have people depending on you right now. Your kids, your siblings, your parents, your friends or your entire family. Just know that somebody out there is depending on you, so know that you matter.  You have the ability, the power and amazing character to fulfill your purpose in life and make a difference in this world. Because you and I are the medic

 " The role of a leader is to serve his people. We absolutely must first serve people who we want to lead. They must be able to rely on the leader as much as we hope to rely on them"_ John fairclough. Lead with courage or do not lead at all. Leaders need to understand that it's all about others, A discipline to start and the courage to stop, to say no. To do less. To resist taking on more step in the wrong direction. "If you're too big to Serve . You're too small to lead"_ Rich Wilkerson Jr.  To lead is to serve. Leaders should establish a steady flow of communication at all times, leaders need to be inspiring, by learning what motivates work best for their team to encourage productivity and passion. A positive attitude can go a long way in an organization, if the team feel that they work in a positive environment, they will be more likely to want to be at work, and therefore be more willing to put in more effort and also work the long hours when needed.

 They say kindness doesn't cost a thing. Be kind to people, offer a helping hand, show empathy and compliment others. Mother Teresa said " kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless".  In a world today full of little self care, high emotions and turmoil, we need kindness more than ever before. " I can live for two months on one good compliment" ..Mark Twain. We need to be kind to ourselves, to our loved ones but especially to strangers. "Do things for people not because of who they are or what they do in return, but because of who you are".. Harold S. Kushner.  Love and kindness are never wasted, be kind.  Your kindness maybe the one happy part of someone's day. You can make someone feel like they are accepted and being kind makes you feel good. Being kind is much deeper than spending money or doing something extraordinary. " Not all of us can do great things but we can do small things with great love".

 Change is constant, if we must learn and grow, we must not just accept change... We embrace it. We tend to change only when the pain of remaining the same becomes greater than the pain of changing. The secret of embracing change and opening up to opportunities is to recognize the ways in which we are different. We are unique in our own ways, special and amazing talents. Think of the riches that would be lost if everyone were exactly the same. To make change, we have to determine the value of the change, we are humans and we don't do things simply for the sake of doing them. We need purpose and value. In order to grow, embracing change is not optional... you have to be able to adapt, ask yourself, what is my purpose and mission?. What obstacles stand in my way, face it head on and be positive about it. Keep your skills updated, read books and learn something new. Seek out and follow leaders who specialize in Skill areas you have or want to build. Embracing change is all about havin

 "Vision is seeing the future before it comes into being".. Dr Myles Munroe. The ability to think or plan the future with imagination or wisdom. Vision gives us more than just simple sight... Sight is a function of the eyes but vision is a function of the heart. Without vision, people perish. To help set a vision for your life, understand it's not about you alone. " True vision is unselfish... It should always focus on helping humanity or building up others in some way" . Only when your vision compels you to grow will it truly fulfill the purpose of your life.  Explore your passion and talents, we were all made with God- given talents... What passion and talent do you have? , I tell you be addicted to your passion not your distractions. Be kind, be a beast, be different, you cannot execute your vision by being humble, you must be bold. Spend time with people you admire , ask them how they got to where they are. Picture what you want your life to look like? What

 Adversity... A state of hardship, difficulty, struggles and misfortune that we deals with in life. There are social, emotional, metal, physical, financial and spiritual adversity. Facing adversities in life can break or make a person, it may lead one person to improve their life by finding ways around their hardship, or it may lead another person to turn to alcohol or drugs to lessen the psychological effects that their hardship cause. I understand that life has its ups and downs. I tell you, you're not alone, know that "Every adversity, every failure, every heartbreak, carries with it the seed of an equal or great benefit ". Napoleon hill.  I hope to encourage you today, find your sense of humor, they say laughter is the best medicine. It seem unthinkable to find anything funny when you're struggling but sometimes just stepping back and seeing the humor of the situation can help lighten your mood and allow you to move forward. Adversity is a great teacher, learn fro

 Be thankful, show appreciation for any good deeds regardless of whether it is tangible or intangible. Focusing on and appreciating the good in our lives constantly remains us about great things all around us. Practicing gratitude allows us to recognize those who bring goodness into our life and humbles us in order to give credit to those we are grateful for. While practicing daily thankfulness may seem like another chores, I hope to convince you that the power of gratitude far outweighs the minutes it takes to practice it. Gratitude glorifies God, it helps realize all we have comes not because of us, but from God. James 1: 17 says , every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the father of light, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. 1 thessalonians 5:16-18 says, rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances,for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. There are many benefits in practicing gratitude, it greatly

 Do you want a fresh Start? Many of us do, we made our new year's resolution, we desired to be better than we were the past year, we set to accomplish a personal goal and improve our lives at the start of this year. I call it a fresh Start, a decision to do something better or stop doing something bad, that is holding us back.  "I believe that change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle". Be the change you wish to see in the world. Know that, it is the principle, self discipline and great determination...this I must do and this i must not do. For there can be no true greatness without sacrifice.  Fresh Start, let's take action. For action speak louder than words, Philippines 4:13 ;says, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. you can start today for tomorrow is not promised. Proverbs 27 :1; do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring. Pray to God for guidance, he knows your hear

 Are you confused, unclear, unsure, lost and disoriented? Instead of expecting, create plans. This is because through them you can control your present. This is much more logical than trying to control your future. To deal with uncertainty, get help, get advice, get some assistance from people, informations and most of all get guidance from the holy spirit... Hebrews 13:5 says never will I leave you, never will I forsake you, cling to the one who knows your future, God doesn't always take us out of our valleys but he will always bring us through them. Life is not perfect but our God is. Pray with me today... Dear heavenly father, things seem unclear. I am not sure where I stand or if the decisions I make are correct. I feel lost in an ocean of doubt, you are the God who sees me. Stop my mind, oh Lord, from racing around trying to figure it all out. Let me build on the truth of your mercy and love. Here, may I gain understanding and confidence. Set me free from any temptation of see

 " You are enough". This means that there is nothing you need to be deemed as valuable and worthwhile. Stop searching and looking for meaning, wondering or just barely trying, only to see that you have nothing missing. Everything you need is within you, who said that you've to find who you are when you're never lost to begin with. Each morning when you wake up, be greatful for the beauty around you...life is a gift, you got to enjoy it. Always proving your worth only destroys it, say to yourself, "I am already enough" . Tell yourself to believe that you're valuable and you won't be enough if you deem yourself and your life good enough based on the stuff you have or don't have. Here are 2 bible verses to encourage you today, genesis 1:27; so God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. Ephesians 2:10; for we are God's handwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works which God pre

 What is forgiveness?     Psychologists generally define forgiveness as a conscious, deliberate decision to release feelings of resentment or vegeance toward a person or people who has harmed you, regardless of whether they actually deserve your forgiveness. Just as important as defining what forgiveness is, you do not loss over or deny the seriousness of an offense against you. Forgiveness does not mean forgetting nor does it mean excusing offenses. Though forgiveness can help repair a damaged relationship, it doesn't obligate you to reconcile with the person who harmed you or release them from legal accountability. Instead forgiveness brings healing, peace of mind and freedom from corrosive anger and letting go of that deeply held negative feelings. Healthy people are at peace with themselves. They accept their weakness and strengths. Do you know you are unconditionally accepted by God? We are all sinners, but 1 John 1:9 says: If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to fo

Self discipline is the ability to push yourself forward, regardless of how you're feeling, physically or emotionally... Motivation and willpower contribute to it as do persistent, the ability to follow through on your intentions and hard work. Put your goals where you can see them everyday. Writing a goal down makes it all the more real... Know your weakness and remind yourself why you started then take action. Let's not get carried away by our own strength, God has to be at the center of our lives and everything we do. He alone will help us stay focused and not get distracted. Proverbs 16:3 : Commit your works to the lord and your thoughts will be established. 2 Timothy 1:7 : For God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and discipline. Always remember eagles do not flock, they fly alone.
