How Is Your Life Defined?

Live your life as a rich legacy, make a difference, spend time with others, offer hope to the hurting. 

Be remembered for how you helped and treated people. 

Start living your legacy now.

Random Acts Of Kindness

When is the last time you did a random act of kindness? It will not only bless those you give to, but it will bless you. Involve your kids, grandkids, neighbor kids, nieces, nephews, friends and teach kids about kindness & unselfish giving while you do this. 



I am issuing a challenge for the rest of the summer, approximately 13 weeks, to think of RAOK (random acts of kindness) and to implement at least one a week. I will post some ideas, please join me in posting your ideas & results.

Life Purpose

If someone walked up to you today and asked "What is your life purpose," what would you say?

 Do you know? 

Are you living out that life purpose, or wasting it?

Share below what your life purpose is, and how you are using it.

Do Something Wonderful

Change comes when we are different than the world.  

Be kind.  

Be generous.  

Be loving.  

Give.  

Serve.  

Laugh.  

Have hope.  

Let your life be one that will make a positive difference in the world.  

Be Thankful and Take Nothing For Granted

Give thanks and take absolutely nothing for granted!

The Voices In Your Head

Which voices are you paying the closest attention to today?  Take time to listen to what God has to say.  Also, take intentional time to listen to your spouse, your children, your parents, your friends.  Moments and words are precious, don't take them for granted.  Once they are gone, they are gone.  

Disconnect. 

Reconnect.  

One Step At A Time

One step at a time, 

          one choice at a time, 

               one day at a time. 

You can achieve your goals, 

overcome your fears, 

         and quiet your doubts.

Change Your Course

You are only one important decision away from a completely different life. One important decision can change your direction and put you an a whole new path. 

Do you need to change course today?  

Work For It

It is a choice, but are you willing to work for it?  

Do You Need To Reboot Your Life?

Speak Life

Do your words speak life or death? 

Do you encourage or discourage, lift up or put down?  

Words cut, hurt, destroy OR words inspire, help, build up.  

Choose 

words

with care, 

use wisdom, 

and speak in love.  

To others.  

To yourself. 

Relationships Matter

Build your person to person, face to face relationships and make them important!

Focus on what is truly important, what truly lasts in life....relationships.  Make them your priority.  

Pursue Your Dreams

Are you doing all you can to protect and pursue your dreams and goals?  

Don't give up.  

God gives us dreams to pursue for a reason.  Pursue them. 

 Chase them.  Fight for them.  

Your dreams and goals matter and are worth the work!  

Love The Ones Your With

Make a difference...

Give true love  & love fully those

in your life.


  Whether it’s your spouse, friends, 

siblings, parents, family members, or 

children – 

let them know you love them.

We can become so comfortable in their 

presence, we can treat the ones we love 

with less respect than we would a 

complete stranger. 

What can you do today to let those 

special ones in your life know they’re 

appreciated and 

most importantly, loved?

Improve Your Life By Identifying Your Core Values

Do you know what your core values in life are?  Do you live by those values?  Are your decisions guided by those values?  Do your relationships reflect those values?

Core values help us to know what is important in life, what drives us.  If our actions do not line up with our value system, we can experience stress, lack of focus, confusion, and miss out on our purpose in life. 

Have you identified your top core values?  You can't live by your core values if you have not identified them.  Start by identifying your top 10 values.  Write that list down, then set it aside for a couple days.  Pay close attention over a week time frame as to what really is important to you.  Revisit your list and see if the top 10 values you chose are truly your how you live your life.  If your list needs a realignment, then make it.  Once you do that, then narrow it down to your top 5.  These should be the things that shape your decisions and how you live your life.  

One question you can ask yourself to focus on if you are aligned with your values is this: Do my actions, my schedule, and where my money is spent reflect the values I say are most important to me?

Here is a list to begin with.  There are many other values that could be added to this, but this is a start:

Appreciation   Accountability   Artistic    Authenticity    Accomplishment   Achievement   Adventure  Belonging   Beauty   Building    Being in Control   Bold    Caution   Career    Changing the World    Compassion   Creativity    Calm   Community   Creation  Competence   Collaboration    Communicating     Competitive   Consistency    Cherish  Cleanliness   Considerate   Confident   Challenge  Cheerful   Clear-minded    Diversity    Diligence    Dedication    Devotion   Determined   Dynamic   Excitement   Education   Efficiency    Encouragement     Excellence   Ethical   Enjoyment  Enthusiasm  Explore  Expertise    Family      Faithfulness   Fun    Freedom    Forgiveness      Faith    Financial    Forward Thinking     Frugal       Fulfillment      Fair    Fitness   Flexible   Gentleness   Gain   Giving   Genuineness    Goodness   Growth    God   Generous   Gracious   Honesty    Hard Working    Humility     Humor    Health   Happy    Help     Integrity    Impact Others   Influence   Inspiring   Independent   Intelligence   Joy   Kindness   Love     Loyal    Love of Learning   Life   Leadership   Marriage      Mentoring    Make a Difference  Nurturing      Obedience     Orderliness     Optimistic   Patience    Peace   Perfection    Performance-Driven    Persistence   Power     Physical     Productive    Purity   Passionate     Positive    Quality   Quiet    Respect    Risk Taking       Relationships    Recognition   Relaxation   Respect for Others     Resourceful   Security      Self-esteem      Self-expression   Sensitivity    Servanthood     Service     Silence   Sincere    Solitude     Self-control   Spiritual    Stability     Success    Safety    Serenity  Simplicity  Spontaneous   Structure   Support     Strength   Temperance         Tolerance     Tranquility   Trust     Truth      Trustworthy   Timely     Thoughtful    Teamwork    Uniqueness    Useful     Vitality    Vision  Winning     Worship      Wisdom 

Ask this as you work to narrow the list to five....do I appreciate this value?  Does this value truly reflect my character?  Do I enjoy this more than other things?  

Once you identify your top 5 values, what are some key action steps you can take to make very clear boundaries around your values?   How will those boundaries impact the life you live and how you treat others?  

100 Days To A Better Life

What if you took the next 100 days to make some changes, even one change, in your life?  What would you work on?  

It doesn't have to be life shattering, just take some small steps to make a better you.  

In the next few days, I will post some ideas.  Please post some of yours, as well. 

Don't Waste A Moment

Don't waste your life. 

Spend time with those you love, and love them deeply.

Life can change very quickly, so take time to truly love those in your life.

Core Values

Do you know what your core values are? Do you live your life by your core values? Having a clear understanding of your core values helps in decision making. It gives a foundation on which to stand. Living by your core values gives your life boundaries that will not be shaken. 


What are your top 5 core values? If you don't know, take some time to identify them today.
