Choose Wisely

Become wise by walking with the wise, hang out with fools and watch your life fall apart. Proverbs 13:20

Be The Change

People find hope when you offer them time. Time to listen, time to help out, time to just be there for them. Don't waste sharing hope with someone.

How Is Your Life Defined?

Be remembered for how you helped and treated people. 

Start living your legacy now.

Come Alive

What makes you come alive?

Make A Difference

Help someone out today, in some way.  

You could help them with yard work, make them some cookies, watch their children, 

but mostly just listen, 

be compassionate, and be available.  

Do You Need A Course Adjustment?

What  have you done to reach out and help someone today?  How about in the past week?  If you can't answer, it may be time to make some adjustments in your life. 

Life is about helping others, giving, and caring about others.  

Don't let the hardness of some people's hearts keep you from being kind, compassionate, and giving.  Model kindness and love to others, stand out, stand up, and show you care.

Take time to look in people's eyes, listen to their story, and stop long enough to care. You can make a difference if you look around, be aware, and do something to change the world for the better.  It truly does matter.  

Screen Disease

Make the time with your family a time actually WITH your family, not electronics. 

Disconnect when you are  together.

Life Purpose

Comfort Zone

Are you living in your comfort zone, or are you stepping out of it, and really living life?  Live a life of no regrets, think you can do it, and reach for some goals.  Leave behind the fear, and live a life of purpose and passion. 

Friendship Challenge

TODAY’S CHALLENGE:  Do a Facebook audit.  Are there so-called friends in your feed who are driving you crazy or causing you stress?  Unfriend them.  Remove yourself from groups you’re not interested in, unlike any pages you are no longer interested in, and challenge yourself to only be on Facebook for 10-15 minutes a day!  Set a timer if you need to.  

Now, spend some time thinking about the people in your real-life circle.  Think of two people that you care about and respect that you’d like to cultivate deeper friendships with, and write them down.   Pray for that person, invite them for coffee, send notes of encouragement or short texts or emails.

Make your real life circle, your real life relationships much more important than your online circles.  

Words

Are your words poison or life giving?  Start speaking life in your words today.
