Thought of the Day

Daydreaming about goals and aspirations is unhealthy when one never moves from just saying, "one day." Handle what needs to be handled today to prepare you for tomorrow.

"Pay No Mind"

When your critics emphasize your flaws & faults, don't let it impede your progress. Though it hurts at times, it can't stop you. Know that their behavior towards you is superficiality; shallowness at it’s best. You just happen to be a public target of their own private deficiencies.

Monday Matters: Rest

Slowing down for a minute or taking a break is far from being lazy. Rest precedes creativity and production. Rest helps to restore and renew our physical, emotional & spiritual lives. When we seek rest, especially if we stay busy, those around us will rest as well. So make the most of your downtime this week to maximize your efficiency and influence by resting.

I ran across this quote recently... "A good enemy is a better person than a false friend." Either way they're still people simply acting out of a need. Often times the need is to be loved. If you find both in your life, enemies & false friends, be sure to share with them the gift that keeps giving, “Love.” And when you do, you will discover that their attempts to hurt you have only made you stronger.

Focus...

Let's have a greater sense of focus this year. Don't be driven by every and anything that entices your passions and desires. It's okay to know & center in on your purpose, on purpose. It will strengthen every aspect of your life and will make you a greater impact on the lives around you. "A life of impact is about the one thing I do, not the twenty things I dabble in." ~ Dr. Howard Hendricks

Leave It Behind... in 2009.
