A timely reminder

When you become aware of God's love, you never depend on people the way you did before A magical moment invades your life and your chains are suddenly broken Your eyes can see, your hands can give Your feet can run and everything you need is found in His presence

Pride is like a drug The right dosage will make you thrive The wrong dosage will kill you

Nobody can make you feel sad, anxious, or depressed. Huge flex to be in control

Merry Christmas! Don’t use the holidays as an excuse to let your foot off the gas. Stay focused on your goals and the actions that will get you there.

I’m using this week to reflect on 2023 and plan out next year. I’m meditating on the gratitude towards all the growth and blessings 2023 brought. Visualizing and feeling gratitude towards my accomplished 2024 goals.

Quiet time, meditation, reading, praying, and writing are the best ways to spend the first 30min- hour awake.

I’m mostly investing in new businesses and side hustles now. Stock market and real estate seems overvalued to me. Where are you investing in 2024? No matter what your opinion is, I’m proud of you for investing before you spend!

The things God has called you to do won't be easy.

Accomplishing your goals for 2024 takes deliberate action every day. If you’re off track don’t beat yourself up. Take action instead. What’s one thing you can do to today to move towards your goal?

If you’re not perusing something that stresses or scares you a little, then you’re not pushing hard enough. The key is to overpower those negative thoughts with faith and confidence.

Don’t listen to the little voice in your head telling you “it can’t be done”. Push forward, take action, overcome obstacles, and make it happen!

Good Morning Gentlemen. If you didn’t wake up to the Valentine’s fantasy you wanted today- remember today (or any day) isn’t about you. We’re called to serve. How are going to serve your family, wife, or community today?
