Let's be real... all of us have at least a tendency to gravitate toward what's easy, even if it's not right. The right thing very often requires a choice to do the hard thing. What will you choose?

It's true. No plant, animal, or human can grow in a literal sense without struggle. And the same is true in life...we only grow through struggle. Don't chase struggle, but when you face it, embrace it, and GROW.

No one will move for you. Whether it's physical body movement. action at work, or leadership at home, it's your move. It's up to you.

Here's the freedom question... who do you need to forgive? Forgiveness is not about setting that other person free, it's about letting go of that ball and chain, and setting yourself free!

Let's be real... at some point, everyone has one of "those" mornings. We just have a bad start, nothing goes right. When it happens, what is your reset?

It's true. The number one cause of problems is people. Without people, this world would have no problems. BUT, without people, there'd be no color, no beauty, no design, no uniqueness, the list goes on...

We all have it in common. From midnight to midnight, we all have 86,400 seconds. What are you going to MAKE happen in your 86,000 seconds?

It's a new year. You might have a fresh perspective. You might plan to make a new "you". But without a new PATTERN, the new you will fade as fast as the new year holiday. What pattern will you change?

WHAT IS A RESOLUTION? We make resolutions throughout life, but particularly at the beginning of a new year. But do we know what that means? Do we know what we're committing to? A resolution is a definite and serious decision...

WHAT DO YOU TREASURE? Your time, energy, and emotion will be invested in what you treasure most. What is it for you?

I'm not being negative. I'm not casting a dark shadow on a beautiful season. I'm being real. Although this season is joyous and wonderful... many are hurting in this season. Maybe missing a loved one. Maybe revisiting a past trauma. Maybe stuck in the hospital. BE AWARE of the hurt around you. BE SENSITIVE to how they may be feeling. And BE A DIFFERENCE MAKER. It's an incredible season. But for some, tis' the season to be depressed.

Most times, it's a mentality over a reality. And an abundance mindset can still exist without an abundance of resources. If you look for scarcity, you'll always find it. But the same is true for abundance. Create or find the abundance of something in your life!
