It feels like such a blow when people point out our flaws. You can’t make everyone happy, and you can’t do everything right. Messing up feels so much like failure. Truth is not everyone is going to like us. The criticism can leave us feeling like it would be so much easier to not go after our dreams, not put ourselves out there. It feels safe to stay hidden.

Can’t make any mistakes when we are not taking risks. People can’t be critical if they can’t see us fail. The truth is, it would be so sad if we didn’t take risks. It would be devastating if we squelched our potential to avoid criticism. There is a plan and purpose that comes with each of our lives. Other people don’t get to determine if we should or should not do what we are called to. It’s not our job to make everyone happy. That’s impossible. Go shine bright, you were made for more.

Don’t let someone dim your light, simply because it’s shinning.







Deut 31:6 Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

We all need to take a deep breath every now and then, especially when the stress of life seems too overwhelming. Anxiety has a crazy way of taking over our lives and sometimes even hinders our ability to simply breathe.

You are allowed to feel, you are allowed to walk through the ‘junk’ that comes up. It is ok to let yourself have that emotion. Let’s just not get stuck there. You are in control and you have the power to calm yourself during those super stressful moments. Take a big deep breath.

Relax. You are enough. You do enough. Breathe extra deep, let go, and just live right now in the moment. Unknown







Phil 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Momentum is not a magical force that only a select few get to enjoy. Momentum can be created. We can create momentum in our life with persistence and perseverance. There are some that wait around for momentum to just magically appear. People that make things happen understand that we can manufacture momentum by executing day in and day out on critical tasks.

No waiting. Just doing. The real reason winners are successful is because they understand this concept and take it seriously. It can be ridiculously hard to get the ball rolling. Once we push through and begin the process. Once we have forced ourselves through the days we wanted to quit more than anything.
Things will get easier.
Momentum follows.
We begin to see massive progress.

There is a catch.
If we compromise on our discipline. Cut corners. Lower the standard. It destroys momentum and we have to build it all over again. Once we start to take conscious control of our lives. When we start to manufacture momentum. We become unstoppable. Your best is enough.

For a man to conquer himself is the first and noblest of all victories. Plato







1 Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

Focusing too much on conforming to the expectations of others is exhausting. In trying to please people we may lose sight of your own values and what’s unique about ourselves. It is human nature to want to please others. The drawback of that is our tendency to worry about what people think of us. There are so many people in the world who settle for a life of comparing and conforming.

Walking our own path can be scary. Most of us don’t like to draw attention to ourselves. We definitely don’t want to feel like we are doing something wrong. Blending in and conforming is easier. When we walk our own path, we learn to stop fixating on the opinions of others. We stop trying to read people’s minds and projecting our fears and thoughts on them. Whatever thoughts others may have about you, they do not belong to you. Let them go. Marching to your own drum gives others the courage to do the same and can bring joy and happiness to a world that needs you just the way you are. Your best is enough.

Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else. Judy Garland







Eph 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

It is hard to find true happiness if we keep wishing we had what others have. The grass always seems to be greener on the other side but that does not mean it is actually greener. To keep wishing, hoping, or expecting for something else and not feel satisfied and happy with what we have, will lead us to feeling like something is missing in life.

If we keep comparing our lives to others, wishing our life was like theirs...our family was like theirs... our treasure was like theirs...we will feel bitterness and jealousy. If we can be thankful for what we have been blessed with, acknowledge that everyone’s life is different, and do our best not to compare to others, we will experience more joy and happiness in everyday life.

Get busy watering your own grass so as not to notice whether it's greener elsewhere. Karon Waddell







Mat 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

Beauty is not defined by the reflection in the mirror or the number on the scale.

Beauty is treating others the way you want to be treated. Showing respect and kindness. Having compassion.

Beauty is confidence, finding your passion and going out and making it happen. Taking risks and acting on opportunities.

Beauty is challenging and pushing yourself physically and mentally to become the best version of you.

Beauty is cultivating a loving relationships with others. Giving to give not just to get, not caring who gets the credit.

Beauty is the choices you make to create the life that fulfills you. Being real and true to others and yourself.

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart. Helen Keller







Prov 31:30 Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain:but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.

Our churches are decorated with flowers. We gather with family for a yummy meal. We fill up plastic eggs with jelly beans or chocolates, even sometimes a few coins, and let the littles run and find them. There are traditions and Easter customs we all enjoy. If you so choose to attend church on Easter, it is likely you will sing hymns and songs. Rejoicing in the risen savior.

This holiday represents so much. Love defeats hate. Hope defeats fear. Sacrifice defeats greed. Mercy defeats might. Life defeats death.

When people of faith celebrate Easter, we are celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ. But we are also celebrating God’s great love for us, a love strong enough to defeat death itself. He loves you! Do you know Him?







John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Everything we are going through is part of our journey, including the difficulties. Seeing the journey as beautiful and purposeful, even through the struggle, isn’t always easy. Our instincts are to push away the things we don’t feel are good.

We can learn to embrace all of who we are, including our pain. This isn’t easy, and it takes time, practice and patience. When we are impatient with ourselves and reject parts of who we are, we often judge and criticize ourselves harshly. We can endure the hard parts of life, with help from the grace of God and our own strength.

Healing takes time. Having some patience allows us to pick ourselves up and gain wisdom and strength from the journey. This can greatly increasing our strength for the future struggles we will ultimately face. Do the best you can to be patient, believe in yourself and allow yourself the time it takes to heal.

Patience is the calm acceptance that things can happen in a different order than the one you have in your mind. David G. Allen







Phil 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

We may be a bit burned out when the things we typically find passion and enjoyment in feel like a burden instead of a blessing. Hitting a wall where everything feels hard. Daily activities we normally enjoy feel draining and extraordinarily exhausting.

The thing is, burnout actually is an indicator that something is out of wack in our life. It is not an indicator of weakness or the inability to do all the things at once. It is your body, mind and spirit yelling, hey, hey, hey!! Let’s take a break. We were not meant to carry all that we carry.

Burn out can happen when we live in the false belief that we can do it all in our own power. We do not have the capacity to hold everything. Trying to maintain life’s pace in our own strength is unrealistic. If you are feeling that brick wall coming a bit close, let me remind you that you can rest. Make room to breathe and just be. We don’t need to live life always feeling burned out.

Bringing our burdens and life’s troubles to the one who helps us carry them can help us through. Peace comes from knowing that He is the one who is actually sustaining and carrying us. He gives our soul rest. Lay your burdens down.

You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them. Maya Angelou







Matt 11:28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Are you the tortoise or the hare? We can set goals and create a plan of action to achieve those goals. We start to take action, create new habits. Often we get off on the right foot but then something happens and we deviate from the plan. Maybe we get busy, something important comes up or we lose interest. Maybe we start the whole cycle again... the plan is good and your goal is worthy but there is really no plan for consistency.

Doing something consistently and not just when you feel inspired or motivated to do it, is extremely important. Today, we look for instant gratification and we fail to acknowledge that these things take time. It’s hard when we don’t get immediate results, we don’t see the point in continuing. Consistency isn’t about obtaining quick results, it’s about maintaining progress over time. Making a consistent effort is what helped the tortoise eventually win the race!

Believe You Can
Have a Strong Why
Value the Results
Give Yourself Time
Find Motivation (a trainer/friend!)
Be Patient

It’s not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives. It’s what we do consistently. Anthony Robbins

Sometimes we look back for the wrong reasons. We wish we did something different or that something didn’t happen. Whatever the reason may be, don’t be so hard on yourself. The moment has passed. Learning from past experience is good, dwelling in past struggles, not so much. It is so easy to get caught up in what we did wrong, regrettable decisions or missed opportunities. The past is the past and we have to learn to forgive ourselves and do our best to move on.

No point in dwelling in the past when we can be working on the present and towards our future. There are some things we cannot undo. All of those things were part of our personal growth. The problems we have faced in life have molded us into who we are today. Stronger, more resilient, complicated and capable. Learn from the lessons and let them guide in the direction we want to go.

Be kind to yourself and move forward, because the best version of you is waiting!

Yesterday’s the past, tomorrow’s the future, but today is a gift. That’s why it’s called the present. Bill Keane







2 Cor 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

There is nothing rude about holding people accountable and pushing them to become great. If you truly cared about someone we should want them to build an amazing life for themselves.

Often most people are gentle and accepting when they see someone they love fall short. Not doing the actions and standards necessary to build the life they want. That is nice but is it really what it means to care for someone? Avoiding the difficult and necessary conversation to hold them accountable to the promises they’ve made to themselves can sabotage results.

Ultimately being nice is really not being nice at all. It is cheating the people you love out of becoming the person they want to become and building the life they want to build. Real love and care is derived from our willingness to push them to keep their promises to themselves.

Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will. Mahatma Gandhi







Psa 91:4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
