Don't Hold Back Your Truth

Open your mouth and speak your truth!  This is the shortest path to freedom and the clearest way to self actualization.  Speak what you know is true and find yourself in your rightful place.

Thank God for Second Chances

REALIZE when you are walking in error.  REPENT and move in the right direction.  RENEW your mind and hit REFRESH on your thought processes and patterns. REJOICE in the new day dawning.  God is merciful and loves it when we know better and do better.  He doesn't give up on you.  He is waiting for you to realize that and stop beating up on yourself, using mistakes as an excuse for stagnation.  You are a precious work in progress.  Keep moving forward!

May The Force Be With You

Walk confidently according to the inner prompting of God.  Do not let outside influences or circumstances control you.  Not people or things.

Living a Lie is the Worst Kind of Crazy

Do what you do.  Mean what you do.  Do it because it brings you joy and feeds your spirit.  You need it.  You deserve it.  Don't do what you do to please or impress others.  Live truthfully, for your peace, for your freedom, for you sanity.  People who are delusional believe in a false reality about themselves.  Their mind gives them all kinds of stories that they want other people to believe.  This is classified as mental illness.  If you are pretending to be something you are not (even a little bit), you are headed down a dangerous road.  Find out who you really are and be grounded it that reality.  If you desire to improve.  Do that.  But don't try to fake it 'til you make it.  If you are faking it, you may make it to some superficial notion of success.  You may make people believe your story.  You may even believe your story yourself. But you'll never really make it to the place you deserve to be.  If you discover your true self, you will find that the light that shines within you is the brightest and best star you can shoot for. 

Being Fake is the Worst Form of Lying

You have got to be YOU or you will never have joy and peace.  Be YOU, regardless of where you are or who you are with.  Be honest and true.  Don't fake it.  If you are wrong, God will correct you.  But how can you be corrected if you're not being authentic?  God is waiting for you to bare the truth of who you are so that He can show Himself in YOU.

Golden

Once you allow God to heal you and renew your mind, you can use the survival skills you gained from past battles to thrive RIGHT NOW! Use the WISDOM.  Use the COURAGE.  Use the STRENGTH.  Use the POWER!  Use the FREEDOM! There was a reason you went through the fire.   Now you can shine as pure GOLD.

The Weapons of Our Warfare

When you have survived an attack and it's over and done, you can lay down your weapons and get out of defense mode.  Don't keep waiting to fight the same attacker that came against your younger self.  That person or thing is gone, except for in your mind.  You're fighting a ghost.  You're trying to shield yourself from a dream.  Stop resurrecting your dead enemies in the faces of the people you live and work with today.  Take confidence in the strength and wisdom God gave you to survive, but enjoy the peace of right now.  Being on the defense takes a lot of energy.  You should not waste your energy when you have the Great Defender.  Instead you should apply your energy toward cultivating and using your gifts and talents.  Create, produce and serve your purpose. Trust God to alert you, protect you and show you when and how to do battle when the time comes. 

Use It or Lose It

The response to your gift is not what brings real joy.  It is using your gift that brings real and lasting joy.

You Can't Scare A Person Into Holiness

You can not scare a person into righteousness.  You can scare a person into acting holy.  God is love.   There is no fear in love.  Let love abide in you.  Let God abide in you.  Only this will draw others to an authentic relationship with God.  It is the authentic relationship with God that gives the power and wisdom to live life according to God's divine plan.

More Than a Survivor

You survived!  Now you can get out of survival mode and thrive. You don't have to be on the defensive, waiting for someone to attack you.  Even if they come at you, you've got a champion who can't be defeated. You can let the chip fall off your shoulder, relax and put a smile on your face.  The battle has been won.  Move on and enjoy the victory!

Baby You're a Star!

Be the star of your own show, not the sidekick reacting to the words or actions of others.  Act with love and conviction.

Tell of His Goodness

Live your life in a way that makes God's goodness known.  Be thankful as you go.  Enjoy what He has given you.  Appreciate who He has made you.  You can tell others God is good without saying a word.

Stop Searching & See

Unclench your fists.  Relax and let it flow.  God will take care of the details.  Don't be so busy searching that you can't see.  Don't be so busy listening that you can't hear.  Open up and receive.

Run With the Yes!

When God says "No" to one thing, seek Him for the "Yes" and embrace it.  Run on with the "Yes".

The Master Plan

When road blocks, detours and hurdles pop up and thwart your plan, step back and take a moment to see the bigger, better plan.

Be Yourself On Purpose!

Be yourself on purpose.  Be conscious of who you are (not how others perceive you).  Know who you are, what gives you peace, joy and love.  Know your truth and walk in that.  Don't move.  You will be free wherever you are.

Solid

Live truthfully.  Be yourself.  Honor your truth.  Stand on it.  Fearlessly.  It is your rock.  Once you find it, never allow anyone to move you off of it.

Know Your Worth

You are worth the time, attention, work, adoration and love.  You don't have to work for it, beg for it or prove it.  Just be who you are and you'll get it, because you deserve it.

Research Project

Study, observe, and analyze yourself.  You will find the experience to be quite rewarding.  And you will find that you are quite an interesting creature.

Seize This Day!

Go out into the day and capture the joy in it.  If you shut yourself in waiting for joy to come, for everything to be just right, for the right job, the right house, the right friends, the right spouse, you'll still be waiting when the death angel comes.  Get up, get out and live the life you have!

Better By and By

Don't work so hard to understand it that you don't enjoy it.  Just be.  Live your life truthfully, and you'll figure it out.

By and By

God knows what He's doing.  You may not know what He's doing, but just know He does.  Just let go and follow along.  When nothing else makes any sense, just know that He knows.  When the road you travel is uphill, rocky and winding, hold on to God.  When all your efforts just don't seem to make ends meet, trust Him.  When bad things happen to good people (including you), keep believing justice will prevail. When you settle in and rest in the omnipotence of God, you will experience such peace and freedom.  Eventually you will  see it all clearly.  You will know the truth.  You will understand it better by and by.

Stick With What You Know

Don't let any thought, person, circumstance, event, problem, situation or conversation make you doubt what you know for sure.  If God told you, believe it, stick with it.

You Can't Beat the Truth

The truth shall set you free.  If you are bound, check to be sure you are not bucking against the truth.  Don't fight against it.  Face it.  Speak it. Speak to it.  Speak about it.  Deal with it.  If need be, change it.  But no matter how hard you try, you can't run from it.

Two Are Better Than One

When you establish a healthy partnership, cherish it.  Work together diligently toward your goal.  Nothing can stop you.  The results will be powerful.

Lambs & Lions

Choose your company very carefully.  The wrong choice could be disastrous.  If you walk with a lion and you're a lamb, you may get eaten up.  If you walk with a lamb and you're a lion, you may get rejected.  These two do not naturally coexist.  However, all things are possible according to the power and grace of the divine.  Lambs could develop the wisdom to tame lions.  Lions could soften to befriend lambs.  Whatever the case, be sure you walk wisely among the appropriate company.

There Is No Such Thing As A Bad Day

There are no bad days.  Each day is a gift from God.  There are bad experiences.  For the most part, the way you experience your day is up to you.  You can choose to wait for a good day or rejoice and be glad in the one given to you.

What Do You Intend to Accomplish?

Do what you do for the greater good.  Say what you say for the greater love.  You won't go wrong.  Intention is everything.  Ask yourself why you are doing or saying it before you make one step or utter one word.  Be honest with yourself.  Only move forward if you intend to promote goodness and love.

Speak Up!

Speak up for what is right. But make sure you do it in love and with courage.  You and everyone else will benefit.

More Than a Dream

Work diligently toward your dream.  Never doubt.  You will be rewarded immediately in the work.  You will wake up one day and your dream will be a reality.  Then God will give you far more than you could have conceived to dream.
