Lessons of the week: Satan was having a sale of his wares. There on display and offered for sale were the rapier of jealousy, the dagger of fear, and the strangling noose of hatred, each with its own high price. But standing alone on a purple pedestal, gleaming in the light was a worn and battered wedge. This was the devil’s most prized possession. For with it alone, he could stay in business, and this was not for sale. It was the wedge of discouragement. The devil prizes the wedge of discouragement above all else because of its enfeebling, demoralizing effect. Hatred, fear, or jealousy may lead an immature person to act unwisely, to fight or run or grab, but at least he acts. Discouragement, on the other hand, harms more than any of these it causes you to sit down, pity yourself, and do nothing.

At the end of the day: At the end of the day we will all meet our maker. If you are not living a life full of value, purpose, and service then WHEN will you do it? Potentiation without execution will lead to delusion. Potential unexpressed leads to pain. Now that you have read all these post, what can YOU do to shed the excess and live a better life? Chime in below.
Follow One Course Until Successful: The largest issue we run into in our lives is the lack of focus we have on bettering ourselves. We run into the issue of "fitting in" or "falling out", but what happens when you stand your ground or even humble yourself. Humble pie taste like defeat in many aspects, but in reality it is growth. When you were a kid you hated your vegetables, but when you saw that it helped you stay healthy you would go all in. Just like Popeye made spinach sales go up you can invest in your own growth by focusing on your self-growth. I can promise you this. When you focus on growing yourself everything that is not needed in your life will change. This happens when you focus on balance spiritually, physically and emotionally. So what was the lesson I learned? Trust your gut, trust your sense, bless the things you touch, bless the conversations you have and above all do what you need to do to live a life of purpose. It will be uncomfortable, it will draw questions...
Perspective Revelations For Business And Life: In the bible there have been many examples of either God or people speaking life into others. Examples could range from God breathing life into man all the way to Jesus telling the lepers to show themselves to the priest and only one returning and being made whole. My question for you is when was the last time you spoke life into different aspects of your existence? We are surrounded by a huge amount of negativity, violence and perspectives that pull you into death mode. They kill your inborn genius, your ingenuity, integrity, and often your vision. However, since it is a social norm we let them persist. Why do you let them persist? Why do you not stand up and live a life of reverence and peace? Do you like the chaos so much that you can't see a way out? Not to say there will not be trouble in this world at all, but really take a moment here to reflect. What aspects can you let go to become whole? Think about it and find my next post.
Been a tad MIA today and here's why. Have you ever had a dream that changed the perspective on something? Be it business, life, a relationship, or something you have held close to you? Yeah, well I have had 2 days worth of those dreams, and intense is not even touching its big toe. The only constant thing is change people say, but in reality if we refuse to really look inside ourselves we condemn ourselves to death by our own hands. Now, I don't claim religion as religion has not saved one person in our life time. I do however have a deep conviction and relationship with Jesus. I've come to the realization that when I do things that I do not pray over, bless, or pray before I go into it they literally bomb. No explained reason it just does not work out. Now while many of you are reaching for the unfriend button, unfollow button, or your easy button I bid you a peaceful journey. However, for those that are staying with me I'd like to offer you my perspective on this revelation soon
