The Power of Your Thinking

May 27

Affirmation: life doesn’t have to be perfect to be beautiful. (This is one of my favorite affirmations)


Cultivate Authenticity 

The choice to be authentic is also a beautiful choice. God has never looked at you and wished He had made you differently. He doesn’t ask you to be perfect…He loves you as you are. Be you, the best you possible today. The world needs YOU!


Power of Your Thinking


Andy Andrews continues his explanation of the responsible decision. The focus is on your thinking. 

Decisions are the outward expression of your thinking. Most people agree that their decisions have guided them to where they are. If you want to create a pathway to the success you have dreamed of, rather than the reality you are currently experiencing, change your thinking.You are where you are because of your thinking. The primary way our thinking must change is to realize we are responsible for where we are. If we are responsible for where we are, we have hope! If we responsible for where we are, then we can be responsible for where we’re going. By disowning responsibility for our present, we give away our power and deny ourselves an incredible future.

We are often tempted to think, “well this is not my fault.” The words “it’s not my fault” should never again come from your mouth! They have been symbolically written on the gravestones of unsuccessful people ever since Adam and eve took the first bite of that apple.

Until we take responsibility for where we are there is no basis for moving  on. By taking responsibility we have hope.
If you didn’t journal about your negative thinking yesterday…do it today and jot down your personal inventory.

July 20: MOST OF OUR DECISIONS ARE DRIVEN BY EITHER LOVE OR FEAR.

Affirmation: I am compassionate. I care about myself and others. (Repeat 10x) “When he had gone indoors, the blind men came to him, and he asked them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” “Yes, Lord,” they replied.” (Matthew 9:27-31) Our compassion seems to be tied to belief in the Lord. Do you believe He is able to do this? Even more importantly, do you believe the Lord has compassion for YOU? ~~~~~~~ Ponder: Memorize Psalm 25:4-6. Make this your prayer today. This is a prayer for everyone to personalize and practice at any and every moment as you seek to live your best life. Pray this prayer at least 10 times today. “Show me your ways, Lord, teach me your paths. Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long. Remember Lord, your great mercy and love, for they are from days of old.  Psalm  25 :4-6 ~~~~~~~ Reading for Today Walk in Grace. Live in Love. by Bob Goff                ...

Affirmation: I am grateful for this body, mind & soul. God made me. I have had times in my life that I questioned God’s existence, His goodness, His love.

January 28: Keep Showing Up; You’re The Only You There Is

Affirmation: I am imperfect and I am enough. ~~~~~~~ Ponder and Personalize :  The book of Joshua was written after Moses died and Joshua is left to lead the Israelites into the promised land. God has freed them from slavery in Egypt.  “Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, …” What significance does the Book of Law have? Why was it important to meditate on it day and night? Talk to God about this directive and how it might impact you. Joshua 1:8-9 “ Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night , so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.” ~~~~~~~ Catching Whimsy: 365 Days of Possibility.  By Bob Goff                        Jan ...
