How can we apply the "max out" concept to our goal pursuit? Here are a few simple steps to help us stay motivated and focused:
Step 1: Clarify our purpose.
Host: Our purpose is the driving force behind our goals. Take time to clarify your purpose by asking yourself what motivates and inspires you.
Step 2: Set SMART goals.
Host: SMART goals are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound; setting SMART goals helps us stay on track and measure our progress.
Step 3: Build positive habits.
Host: Habits are the building blocks of success. Identify positive habits that will help you achieve your goals and make them a part of your daily routine. Remember that motivation is a fleeting feeling. However, a disciplined mindset and positive habits will enhance our outlook on life.
Step 4: Take consistent action.
Host: Consistently taking action is critical to achieving our goals. We cannot stress enough the importance of taking action. When we take action, we see results. So, do not hesitate to establish daily or weekly objectives and hold yourself responsible for taking them.
To begin today's episode, we will set the stage with our Power Words.
James 1:19-20, Philippians 4:6-7
James 1:19-20
Our first Power word comes from James 1:19-20, which says, "My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires."
This verse reminds us of the importance of controlling our words and emotions. Instead of reacting impulsively to difficult situations, we should pause, listen, and seek God's guidance through prayer.
Philippians 4:6-7
Our second verse comes from Philippians 4:6-7, which says, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
The power of prayer is highlighted in this verse as an undeniable source of comfort and relief during difficult and stressful times. It confidently asserts that the indescribable peace of God will guard and protect our hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
To handle life's challenges confidently, we must remember the importance of prayer. It is also essential to be mindful of our thoughts and communication, avoiding hostility and expressing gratitude to remain optimistic even in difficult situations. Trusting in God's timing can help us attain serenity.
Today's Power Word, II Timothy 1:6-7, declares:
"Therefore, I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you by laying on my hands. 7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power, love, and a sound mind."
Instead, it involves aligning our thoughts, beliefs, and actions with our aspirations and objectives and harnessing the universe's power to realize those desires and goals.
To manifest our greatness, we must first recognize and acknowledge the gifts and talents we have been given. We have unique gifts and talents; cultivating and developing them is up to us.
But often, we allow fear, doubt, and insecurity to hold us back. We worry about what others think or feel we need to be better and worthy enough to pursue our dreams.
This is where the power of manifestation comes in. When we align our thoughts and beliefs with our desires, we tap into the power of the universe to bring those desires into reality. So it is not just about positive thinking; it is about shifting our energy and vibration to match the energy and vibration of what we want to manifest.
Moreover, that is where II Timothy 1:6-7 comes in. When we fan into flame the gift of God within us, we tap into the power of the universe and the Spirit of God to give us the courage, strength, and self-discipline to pursue our dreams and manifest our greatness.
So how can we apply this verse and the power of manifestation in our daily lives?
Here are a few practical tips:
- It is crucial to acknowledge and celebrate our unique talents and passions. Jot down a list of your strengths and hobbies with confidence and pride.
- Choose specific aspirations and objectives to manifest in your life. Then, write them down and visualize them as already accomplished.
- Embrace positivity and a can-do attitude. Instead of dwelling on negative news, please focus on the great things in your life and be grateful for them.
- Take action towards achieving your goals. Please do not wait for opportunities; proactively take steps to make them happen. Do not stress over the details; take that first step.
- Surround yourself with positivity and supportive individuals who believe in you and your dreams and confidently pursue your goals.
We appreciate your presence today and are excited to have you join us for our next episode. If you enjoyed our show, please show your support by liking, sharing, following, and commenting.

Let us begin by comprehending the definition of the term "fear of failure.
"What is the fear of failure, and how does it manifest in our lives? The belief that we cannot achieve our objectives often leads to the fear of failure. This fear can cause procrastination, a refusal to take risks, and even the complete abandonment of our aspirations.

Also, maintaining a disciplined mindset and avoiding comparison with others can help us develop a growth mindset and remain motivated even when faced with fear. With a growth mindset, we can view challenges as opportunities for learning and personal growth and achieve our goals while staying motivated.
2 Timothy 1:7
For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.
Today, we will explore the topic of "Our Perspective Determines Our Actions and Vision" and discuss the importance of shifting from a scarcity mindset to an abundance mindset and how helping others can lead to a more fulfilling life.
How can we cultivate an abundance mindset and positively impact others?
- We can volunteer our time and skills to a local charity or non-profit organization.
- Make a conscious effort to spread positivity and kindness in our daily interactions with others.
Why is it important to shift from a scarcity mindset to an abundance mindset?
1. Embrace Abundance: Instead of fixating on scarcity and what we do not have, focus on abundance and what we do have. Recognize that there is enough to go around and that we can create more mess.
2. Help Others: One of the most powerful ways to cultivate an abundance mindset is to help others. Giving back and positively impacting the world can create a sense of purpose and fulfillment.
Remember that our perspective is a powerful force shaping how we approach our goals and interact with the world. When we have a positive perspective and a clear vision of what we want to achieve, we are more likely to take action and make our dreams a reality.
*Ephesians 320 is our mind reset quote for today.*
**Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,**
Remember, our perspective determines our actions and vision. We can create a more fulfilling and purposeful life by shifting from a scarcity mindset to an abundance mindset and helping others.
*Focus on abundance and make a positive impact on the world around you.*
Why is a vision the most significant commodity on the planet?
Vision is a powerful force that can drive us toward our goals and help us create a better world.
Here are three new and original tips to help us develop our vision and turn it into a reality:
-
Think Outside the Box: Creativity is vital when developing a vision. To create a truly unique and inspiring idea, we must think outside the box and be willing to take risks. Meaning being open to new experiences and perspectives and not being afraid to challenge the status quo. Jim Rohn once said: "To solve any problem, here are three questions to ask yourself: First, what could I do? Second, what could I read? And third, who could I ask?" Which leads to a deeper understanding of how productive we can become in society.
-
Let's Use our Minds: Our mind is the most potent vision development tool. Use meditation, visualization, and other mental techniques to help us tap into our creativity and focus on our goals, which will help us stay motivated and overcome any obstacles we may encounter. Remember that our human brain can make decisions on its own and can store an infinite amount of information. In contrast, a computer has to be programmed to perform the functions and has a limited capacity to store data and information. Our mind is powerful.
-
Create a Vision: Once we have developed our creative idea, it is time to create a vision for bringing it to life, breaking it down into smaller, achievable goals, and developing a plan to accomplish them. It also means being flexible and adaptable when encountering new challenges and opportunities.
Our mind reset quote:
Proverbs 29:18 King James Version
Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.
Remember, vision is the most significant commodity on the planet. By thinking outside the box, using our minds, and creating a vision, we can harness the power of our creativity and achieve our dreams.
Keep developing your vision and achieving your dreams.
Here are three tips to help you progress through doubt and fear:
- Embrace Failure: Failure is an inevitable part of life, but how we respond to it matters. Embrace your failures and never view any of your failures as a final destination. However, grab hold of each experience as a learning opportunity. This can help you grow and develop new skills and can also help you build resilience for the future.
- Practice Gratitude: Cultivate a mindset of gratitude by taking time each day to reflect on the things you are grateful for. A proactive attitude of gratitude will connect your thoughts and intentions to what is going well in your life, and we can find one thing we are grateful for. In addition, a gratitude outlook helps shift your focus from what is going wrong to what is going right and can help you feel more optimistic.
- Take Small Steps: Remember, our life journey is not a sprint but a marathon that requires careful thought to your small steps each day because it is easy to get overwhelmed when facing doubt and fear. Break down your goals into small, achievable steps, and focus on taking one step at a time. Remember, it is not how you start but how you finish, and this mindset can help everyone feel more in control and help us build momentum toward our larger goals.
Remember, making it a lovely day is about cultivating a positive mindset and taking action toward our goals, even in the face of doubt and fear. By embracing failure, practicing gratitude, and taking small steps, we can overcome our doubts and fears and make every day sweet.
How can we make it a sweet day when we feel doubt and fear? Here are a few additional tips:
1. Practice self-care- prioritize caring for your physical, emotional, and mental health. Do not compromise this area of your life or discount your efforts. For instance, getting more quality rest, going on walks after a long labor, and meditating to restructure our thoughts.
2. Surround yourself with positive and supportive people who believe in you and your goals. Remember that famous quote from Jim Rohn, "You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with," our mind reset selection for today. Within this season of growth, it is imperative to take some time to Audit the people around you. In contrast, setting aside time each day to do something you enjoy, whether it's a hobby, exercise, or spending time with loved ones.
How can we develop the toughness needed to weather life's storms?
Here are three actionable steps you can take today:
-
Cultivate resilience: Resilience is the ability to bounce back from adversity, a skill that we are confident everyone can develop. One way to build resilience is by practicing gratitude. Take time each day to reflect on your gratitude, even during tough times. Gratitude can help shift your focus from what you do not have to what you do have and remind you that you have the strength to endure.
-
Resilience in formulating a growth mindset: Having a growth mindset leads to a strong belief that we can learn and grow from our challenging experiences. Instead of seeing setbacks as failures, see them as opportunities for growth and learning.
-
Ask yourself, "What can I learn from this experience?" and "How can I use this knowledge to move forward?"
-
Keep moving forward: Giving up or wallowing in self-pity can be tempting when facing challenges. However, you will need more than that to grow or develop resilience. So instead, focus on taking small steps forward, even if they are baby steps. Keep your eyes fixed on your goals and keep moving toward your dreams.
Furthermore, for additional motivation, here is your power word that speaks to the theme of toughness during tough times: "Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance." - James 1:2-3
Remember, tough times do not last, but tough people do.

It can feel like there is no end when we are going through a tough time. It is easy to feel overwhelmed and lost in the darkness, wondering if things will ever get better. However, this quote reminds us that hope is always on the horizon, no matter how bad things seem.
So, how can we use this quote to improve our lives and find our way out of the darkness? Here are three actionable steps you can take today:
- Please focus on the positive: When tough, it can be easy to get bogged down in negative thoughts and feelings. However, it is essential to remember that something positive is always around, no matter how small. Take some time to focus on the good things in your life and express gratitude for them. It will help shift our mindset and bring more positivity into our life.
- Take action: Feeling stuck in a difficult time is easy. However, no matter how small, taking action can help us feel more empowered and in control. Identify one small step you can take today to move closer to your goals or improve your situation, and then take that step. It could be as simple as making a phone call or sending an email, but taking action can help build momentum and move you closer to the light.
- Reach out for support: When we struggle, isolating ourselves and handling things independently can be tempting. However, reaching out for support can be incredibly helpful. Whether talking to a friend or family member, joining a support group, or seeking professional help, resources are available to help you through the tough times. Feel free to ask for help when you need it.
By focusing on the positive, taking action, and reaching out for support, you can find your way through the darkness and emerge more robust and resilient on the other side.
YOU ARE A MIRACLE! LIVE LIFE ON PURPOSE.
Let us start with our power word designed to inspire today's episode. Galatians 5:22-23 says, "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things, there is no law."
Today's power word reminds us of the nine qualities that produce excellence when connected to God's Spirit.
One of the paramount qualities of the fruit of the Spirit is Love. Love is the foundation of all the other qualities and motivates us to live a life of purpose. When we have Love in our hearts, we can show kindness, patience, and gentleness to others. We can also forgive and show grace, even when it is complex.
John Maxwell would like to introduce us to today's powerful mind-reset quote on this topic. He once said, "Love is not a feeling of happiness. Love is a willingness to sacrifice." it is a wonder that reminds us that Love is not just an emotion but a choice. It is It is
about putting the needs of others before our own and sacrificing for their well-being.
So, how do we cultivate the fruit of the Spirit in our daily lives?
Here are three call-action steps to help us remain connected to a good source.
Step 1: The first step is to connect with God's Spirit.
This can be done through prayer, meditation, Bible reading, or joining a community church or whatever is your medium connection route to a higher power. Each of these helps us to build a daily connection to God's Spirit, resulting in receiving the guidance and strength we need to live a life of Love and purpose. It also brings comfort in knowing that we are not alone and that God, who is more significant than all our difficulties, always has our back.
Step 2: The second step is to practice the fruit of the Spirit in our daily lives.
Of course, let us be the first to confess how challenging it is to implement this in our daily life by showing others Love, kindness, patience, and gentleness. But out, of course, we were accompanied by practicing self-control and forgiveness.
Practicing these qualities takes effort and faith in one's; self so we can live a life of purpose and positively impact the world around us.
Step 3: The third step is to surround yourself with like-minded people striving to live a life of Love and purpose. When we surround ourselves with positive influences, we are more likely to stay connected to God's Spirit and stay motivated to cultivate the fruit of the Spirit in our daily lives.

So, what exactly is our higher self? We believe it is the part of us connected to something greater than ourselves. The voice inside us always knows what is best for us, even when we might not realize it.
As individuals, we often feel like we are being pulled in many different directions and with work demands, balancing schoolwork, extracurricular activities, social lives, and everything else. As a result, it can be tough to know what we truly want or the best course of action when facing a big decision.
That is where our higher selves come in. By tapping into that inner wisdom, we can make choices that align with our values and desires instead of just following everyone else.
So, how can we start to connect with our higher selves?
First, there is a vast amount of information and expert advice available. However, with thorough research from our team, we were able to simplify the process towards the transformation of one's highest version of ourselves.
So, here are our three simple but effective call-to-action steps.
First, take some time to be still and quiet. Turn off your phone, find a soft spot, and sit with yourself. Listen to the thoughts and feelings that come up without judgment or criticism. This process breathes enlightenment and self-awareness for a more productive understanding of yourself.
Next, start paying attention to your intuition. That little voice inside your head tells you when something does not feel right or when you should take a specific action. Trust that voice, even if it goes against what others tell you. Think of your intuition as your guarding angel that seeks to guide you toward greatness; finally, practice self-care. Take care of your physical, mental, and emotional health by getting enough sleep, eating well, exercising, and doing things that bring you joy. Feeling good makes us more likely to be in tune with our higher selves.
Let us embrace the journey towards a productive and elevated life this season by connecting with our higher selves and viewing ourselves from the lens of an influential individual who is not afraid of failure or challenges. Let us set the expectation that this is the year when we figure out who we are and what we want from life. Then, connecting with that inner wisdom allows us to make choices that set us on a fulfilling and happy future. Of course, connecting with our higher selves is not always easy. We might feel like we do not have time or that it is too hard to hear that inner voice. However, we promise you; it is worth it. The more we practice, the easier it becomes.
So, be patient with yourself and take some time today to connect with your higher self. Sit in silence, listen to your intuition, and practice self-care. You'll be amazed at the wisdom that comes through.

How to Take Control of Your Life?
Let us start by defining what self-mastery is. Self-mastery is the ability to control your thoughts, emotions, and actions to achieve your goals and live a fulfilling life. It is about taking responsibility for your life and making intentional choices that align with your values and goals.
Our power word speaks to the importance of self-mastery is found in Proverbs 25:28, which says, "Like a city whose walls are broken through is a person who lacks self-control."
This verse reminds us that without self-control and self-mastery, we are vulnerable to the negative influences of the world around us.
Here's a powerful Mind reset quote from John Maxwell that will contribute to today's show. He once said, "The greatest challenge in life is not facing obstacles but mastering oneself."
John Maxwell believes that the most significant challenge in life is not external obstacles but rather the ability to overcome personal limitations and weaknesses through self-mastery. Individuals who control their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are more likely to succeed and overcome challenges. This requires constant effort, self-reflection, and a willingness to confront and improve one's flaws. Self-improvement and personal growth are crucial for success in life, and mastering oneself is a fundamental skill that can benefit individuals in all areas of their lives.
So, how do we cultivate self-mastery in our daily lives? Here are 2 Call to action steps
Step 1: Practice Mindfulness Mindfulness means being present in the moment and aware of your thoughts, emotions, and surroundings. By practicing mindfulness, you will better make choices that align with your goals and values. Try taking a few minutes each day to meditate or practice deep breathing. This will help you cultivate a sense of mindfulness and make more intentional choices.
Step 2: let us start with setting daily intentions. Start your day by taking a few minutes to think about your goals and values. What do you want to accomplish today? Again, How do you want to show up in the world?
Setting intentions will help you stay focused and aligned with your daily goals.
Setting your intentions is a powerful practice that can help you stay focused on your goals and values throughout the day. You are setting yourself up for success by taking a few minutes each morning to reflect on what you want to accomplish and how to dominate each challenge towards your desired goal.
By setting intentions, you are creating a roadmap for your day. In addition, you are giving yourself a clear sense of direction and purpose which helps you to prioritize your time and energy better.
Remember, every action you take gets you closer to your goals.
By practicing mindfulness, setting intentions, and taking action toward your goals, you can set yourself up for success.
YOU ARE A MIRACLE! LIVE LIFE ON PURPOSE.
Let us start by acknowledging the dangers of staying in our comfort zone. When we stay in our comfort zone, we limit our potential for growth and success. We may feel safe and secure but are not pushing ourselves to reach new heights. Recognizing that progress and success often require stepping outside our comfort zone and taking risks is essential.
One power word is from Joshua. Joshua 1:9, to be exact, says, "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." This verse reminds us that we are not alone in our journey toward progress and success. We can overcome our fears and achieve our goals with strength and courage.
Myles Monroe would also like to share a powerful mind-reset encouragement on this topic. He said, "The greatest tragedy in life is not death, but a life without purpose." This quote emphasizes the importance of having a sense of purpose and taking action toward our goals, even if it means stepping outside our comfort zone.
So, how do we break free from our comfort zone and progress toward our goals and dreams?
Here are three Call-To-Action Steps:
Step 1: Embrace discomfort
The first step is to embrace discomfort. Recognize that growth and progress often require pain and taking risks. You can push past your limitations and reach new heights by embracing pain.
Step 2: Set goals
The second step is to set goals. Staying in our comfort zone is accessible without a clear sense of direction. By setting goals, you can give yourself a sense of purpose and direction towards which to strive.
Step 3: Take action
The third step is to take action. It is not enough to set goals; you must also take action toward achieving them. This may mean taking small steps toward your daily goals, taking a giant leap of faith, and stepping outside your comfort zone.
Progress and success require stepping outside your comfort zone and taking risks. By embracing discomfort, setting goals, and taking action, you can break free from the enemy of progress and achieve your full potential.

We will share a powerful quote from Tony Robbins and Napoleon Hill and three easy-to-follow steps to help you become a thermostat in your own life.
Thinking of ourselves as a thermostat rather than a thermometer can profoundly impact our lives. Remember that a thermometer reacts to the environment around it, while a thermostat has the power to control and influence its environment.

This shift in mindset can lead to tremendous success, happiness, and fulfillment in all areas of our lives. So, let us embrace the power of being a thermostat and take control of our lives.
Let us start with two mind-reset quotes, one from Tony Robbins and the other from Neoploean Hill. Our first quote is from Tony Robbins: "In life, you need either inspiration or desperation." This quote is from Tony Robbins and speaks to our mindset's power. When we are inspired, we can take control of our environment and create the life we want. However, when desperate, we merely react to our environment and are not in control.
So, how do we become a thermostat in our own lives? Here are three easy-to-follow Call to action steps:
Step 1: Choose your mindset

Step 3: Set boundaries
The third step is to set boundaries. As a thermostat, we can control who and what we allow into our environment. This means setting boundaries with people and situations unaligned with our goals and values.

Our thoughts have a powerful impact on our emotions, behaviors, and, ultimately, our lives. Positive thinking can increase motivation, better relationships, and greater well-being. However, just like any muscle in our body, positive thinking requires consistent practice and exercise to become stronger. Therefore, despite challenges and setbacks, we must consciously focus on positive thoughts daily. Doing so can train our minds to automatically think positively, leading to a more fulfilling and successful life.
So, let us view our positive thoughts as a muscle that needs to be developed and strengthened daily through intentional focus and practice.
Let us start with our mind-reset quotes from Tony Robbins:
"The power of positive thinking is the ability to generate a feeling of certainty in yourself when nothing in the environment supports you."
This quote speaks to the power of our thoughts and how they can shape our reality. When we think positively and generate a feeling of certainty, we are more likely to take action toward our goals and achieve success.
However, what if our past is holding us back? Here is our second quote from Tony Robbins applies here:
"Your past does not equal your future." This reminds us that no matter what has happened in our past, we can create a new future for ourselves. We can let go of past limitations and beliefs that no longer serve us and create a new reality.
So, how do we keep going when life throws us challenges and obstacles? First, let us introduce our power word for guidance. Philippians 4:13 says, "I can do everything through Christ who strengthens me." This is a clear reminder that we are not alone and have the strength to overcome any challenge that comes our way through gods additional strength; by activating our faith and inner strength, we can push through even the toughest of times.

We all tend to worry about the future, whether related to work, relationships, or other areas of our lives. However, worrying about the future can be a significant source of stress and anxiety. In this episode, we will explore how you can shift your focus to delivering your best each day and why this approach can be beneficial.
First, let's talk about why focusing on delivering your best each day is vital. When you focus on providing your best each day, you are not only building a positive habit, but you are also working towards your long-term goals. This approach helps to keep you motivated and focused on what you can control in the present moment. It also helps to alleviate stress and anxiety by shifting your attention away from the unknowns of the future and toward what you can do in the present.
So, how can you shift your focus to delivering your best each day? Here are some tips to help you get started:
Tip #1: Set small, achievable goals. The first step is to set small, attainable goals.

Tip #2: Create a routine. The second step is to create a pattern. A pattern can help to establish positive habits and increase your productivity. This routine should include exercise, healthy eating, and daily breaks. Sticking to a way can help reduce stress and anxiety and improve your overall sense of well-being.
Tip #3: Focus on your strengths. The third step is to focus on your strengths. When you focus on your strengths, you can build confidence and motivation. Identify your strengths and find ways to incorporate them into your daily work or activities.
By setting small, achievable goals, creating a routine, focusing on your strengths, and practicing self-compassion, you can shift your attention away from worrying about the future and towards the present moment.

"No one can make you feel inferior without your permission" by Eleanor Roosevelt.
This quote has been an inspiration to many people over the years and has helped them to overcome self-doubt and negative self-talk. In this episode, we will explore the meaning behind this quote, why it is crucial, and how you can apply it in your own life.
First, let's talk about what this quote means. It means that no one has the power to make you feel unworthy without your consent. PERIOD
We must decide whether we will allow someone else's words, emotions, or actions to affect our self-esteem. It is easy to become complacent or allow individuals to intentionally or unintentionally project their insecurities and fear onto us, resulting in negative belief in one's self or goals. Remember, You are indispensable; design with creativity and abilities to enhance our society.
Our thoughts and beliefs about ourselves significantly impact our lives, and they can shape how we perceive ourselves and the world around us.
For example, allowing others to make us feel inferior can lead to a lack of self-confidence and low self-esteem, which can ripple effects in our relationships, workplace, health, and other areas of our lives.
In a relationship, Low self-confidence can cause us to doubt ourselves and our worthiness in relationships. This can lead to unhealthy relationships where we allow others to mistreat us or settle for less than we deserve.
Low self-esteem can affect our performance in the workplace, leading to missed opportunities and stalled career growth. It can also lead to anxiety and stress, impacting our mental and physical health.
Our beliefs about ourselves can impact our overall well-being and physical health. For example, studies have shown that individuals with low self-esteem are more susceptible to depression and anxiety and are more likely to develop physical health problems such as heart disease and high blood pressure.

We are exploring a powerful quote from Huey P. Newton that can help us understand and master our reality: "To us, power is, first of all, the ability to define phenomena, and secondly, the ability to make these phenomena act in a desired manner."
What does this quote mean, and how can we apply it?
The Power of Definition, The first part of the quote refers to the power of definition. In other words, the ability to define things is a form of control in and of itself. When we describe something, we give it meaning and shape, demonstrating how we interact with it. For example, if we define a situation as "impossible, " we will likely approach it with hopelessness and defeat. However, if we define it as a "challenge," we will come it with excitement and determination.
The Power of Action is the second portion of the quote, which refers to the power of making things happen in a desired manner. Once we have defined something, we can use that definition to guide our actions and achieve our goals. For example, if we have described a situation as a challenge, we can take steps to overcome that particular challenge. Or, If we have defined a relationship as necessary, we can take steps to strengthen it. By explaining things in a positive and empowering way, we can make them act in a desired manner and achieve our desired outcomes.
Here is today's call to action steps.
- Be Conscious of Your Definitions: Reflect on the words and labels you use to describe things in your life. Are they empowering or disempowering?
- Reframe Negative Definitions: If using negative or limiting definitions, try reframing them more positively and empoweringly.
- Define Your Goals: Clearly define your goals and what you want to achieve. This will help you focus your actions and make things happen in the desired manner.
What will you define and give power to today with your words?
Remember, the words we use to describe things have a powerful impact on how we perceive and interact with them.
So choose your words wisely! Until next time, stay powerful!

Legends of the Past: Tales of Triumph and Courage
We will talk about one of the greatest heroes of the ancient world, King David. He faced numerous challenges throughout his life but never gave up, and his story is a testament to the power of resilience and determination.
Despite contrary beliefs, a majority of what we may encounter in this era is not far from David's life, and we believe that there is a lot we can learn from David's good, bad, and ugly life experiences.
David's Early Life David was born into a humble family, the youngest of eight siblings. Despite his young age, he was known for his bravery and musical talents. He was chosen by God to be the future King of Israel and was anointed by the prophet Samuel.
David's Rise to Power David's rise to power took work. He faced many challenges, including opposition from King Saul and his own family. However, he never gave up and continued to fight for what he believed in. He eventually defeated Goliath, the giant warrior who had terrorized the Israelites for years and became a national hero.
Their nothing you cannot achieve with faith and strong will, no matter your challenges.
We can learn from his example and never give up.

Before we start, I want to share a powerful quote with you. It is by Michael Jordan, and it goes like this: "I have missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. Twenty-six times, I have been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed. I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."
Now, you might think, "But I am not Michael Jordan! So how can I be like him?" Well, the truth is, you do not have to be Michael Jordan to be successful. You have to be dedicated, disciplined, and determined.
Let us start with dedication. Dedication is when you are passionate about something and are willing to put in the time and effort to make it happen. For example, let us say you love playing soccer. If you're dedicated to getting better at soccer, you will practice every day, even when you do not feel like it. You will watch videos of professional soccer players to learn new skills. You will even go to a camp during the summer to get extra training. That is dedication.
Next, let us talk about discipline. Discipline is when you do what you need to, even when you do not feel like it. For example, let us say you want to get better at math. If you are disciplined, you will do your math homework every night, even if you are tired or you would instead be playing video games. You will also study for your math tests, even if you are not in the mood. That is discipline.
Finally, let us talk about determination. Determination is when you do not give up, no matter how hard something is. For example, let us say you are learning how to swim. If you are determined, you will keep trying, even if you are scared or not very good at it. You will keep going to swimming lessons and practicing in the pool until you can swim across. That is determination.
So, now you might be wondering, "How can I apply all this to my life?" well, It is simple, pick something you love doing and practice it every day, even if you do not feel like it. Furthermore, keep going when things get complicated. Remember Michael Jordan's quote: "I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."
YOU ARE A MIRACLE. LIVE LIFE ON PURPOSE.
You may not realize it yet, but you have so much potential and opportunities ahead of you. Furthermore, the key to unlocking that potential is to find your "why."
Before we expound on today's show, let us introduce our power word.
ISAIAH 41:10
"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen and help you and uphold you with my righteous right hand."
God offers comfort when we need it the most. Be guided by Him because He knows what's best for you.
What's yours? Why?
Your "why" is the thing that drives you, the thing that makes you excited to wake up in the morning and tackle the day. It is the thing that makes you feel like you are making a difference in the world. And the best way to find your "why" is to take inventory of your life.
Here are four steps that will help you take inventory of your life and find your "why":
Step 1: Reflect on your interests and passions. What are the things that make you happy? What are the things that you enjoy doing? These are clues to what your "why" might be.
Step 2: Think about the people in your life. Who inspires you? Who do you look up to? What do they do that makes you want to be like them? These are also clues to what your "why" might be.
Step 3: Look at the world around you. What problems do you see that you want to solve? What causes do you care about? What kind of impact do you want to make on the world? These are essential clues to what your "why" might be.
Step 4: Take action. Once you have a sense of what your "why" might be, start taking steps to pursue it. This might mean volunteering for a cause you care about or starting a club or group to bring people with similar interests together.
The key is taking action and pursuing your dreams with laser focus.
Remember, finding your "why" is an ongoing process, and it may change over time, but the important thing is to start taking inventory of your life and pursuing your dreams.
Let us leave you with these two powerful motivational quotes you can use as a reference as you embark on your journey of pursuing your why and chasing your dreams.

Your Debt to Income Ratio is a way to measure how much debt you have compared to how much income you earn. It helps you understand if you are spending more money than you can afford. Here's an example: Let us say you make $100 a week and have $50 of debt. Your Debt to Income Ratio would be 50%.
Having a low Debt to Income Ratio is crucial because it means you are not spending too much on debt payments and have more money to save and spend on things you want. Ideally, you want your Debt to Income Ratio to be less than 36%.
Before we share some examples of how you can avoid spending too much money and keep your Debt to Income Ratio low:
Let us introduce our mind reset quote:
If we command our wealth, we shall be rich and free. If our wealth commands us, we are poor indeed." –Edmund Burke.
Here are four easy-to-follow examples you can implement today to increase your income and lower debt.
- Make a budget: By making a budget, you can see where your money is going and make sure you're not spending too much on unnecessary things.

- Save money: Putting some of your money into a savings account can help you avoid borrowing money and getting into debt.
- Avoid using credit cards: Credit cards can be tempting, but they can also lead to a lot of debt. So it's best to avoid using them and pay for things with cash or a debit card instead.
In addition to these practical tips, reading books on personal finance and budgeting can help you learn how to manage your money wisely.

Stump out debt!
One of the most important things you can do for your finances is to find ways to earn more. This can include getting a part-time job, starting a side hustle, or asking for a raise at your current job. Additionally, investing in your education and skills can lead to higher earning potential in the future.
Another critical aspect of managing your finances is spending wisely. This means being mindful of your spending habits and only buying the necessary things. Shopping around for the best deals and avoiding impulse purchases is also essential. Before making a purchase, ask yourself if you can genuinely afford it.
Saving money is also crucial in achieving your financial goals. It is essential to have an emergency fund for unexpected expenses and to start thinking about long-term savings for retirement or other significant expenses.
Lastly, it is essential to avoid borrowing money as much as possible. When you borrow money, you have to pay it back with interest, making it harder to get ahead financially. If you do not have the money to pay for something, try to save up for it or find a cheaper alternative.
Thanks for listening to this episode of the "Money Matters" podcast
Before proceeding, let us preface that we are not financial advisors and are not financially giving advice. We are instead sharing public information with hopes of encouraging.
Do you ever wonder why some people can afford the things they want and reach their goals while others struggle to get by?
Those who are financially free who share the key of having a high income and low and manageable debt
One of the main reasons is the Debt to Income ratio.
Earning more money and avoiding unnecessary consumer debt are two critical steps to building a solid financial foundation. We know that Debt is when you borrow money and have to pay it back, usually with interest.
We are not advising you to sacrifice your health or deep personal connection for money. Instead, we are encouraging you to devise a system that will disallow depending on Debt or the temptation of seeking to borrow. Moreover, develop a find a need or problem to solve for an individual, which, as a result, will generate additional income through whichever service you choose to provide. Please don’t underestimate the power of a great idea.
When you have a lot of Debt, saving money and achieving your goals can be tricky. But with more income than Debt, you will be able to afford the things you want and make progress toward your goals.

The habit of saving is itself an education; it fosters every virtue, teaches self-denial, cultivates the sense of order, trains to forethought, and so broadens the mind." - T.T. Munger.

Today's show will explore three questions:
- First, how do you cope when you're facing a difficult situation?
- How do you manage the pressure?
- Finally, how do you decide whether to persevere or give up when things get tough?
We'll dive deeper into these questions after a brief break. See you soon."
We asked, "What do you do when your back is against the wall?" and "How do you handle the pressure?" to encourage you to think about strategies for coping with adversity and finding solutions to problems. In addition, asking, "How often do you consider giving up when things get hard?" can help us reflect on our mindset and resilience when faced with challenges.
Here are three simple action steps that can help you overcome any challenge:
Step 1: Take a deep breath and try to calm down.
When faced with a challenge, feeling overwhelmed and stressed out is natural. However, taking a deep breath and trying to calm down can help us think more clearly and devise a plan.
"Be still, and know that I am God." - Psalm 46:10
Step 2: Break the challenge down into smaller pieces. Sometimes challenges can feel big and intimidating. However, if we break them down into smaller, more manageable pieces, it can be easier to tackle them one step at a time.
"I can do all things through him who strengthens me." - Philippians 4:13
Step 3: Seek help and support. You do not have to face challenges alone!
It is okay to ask for help or support from people you trust, like your parents, mentor, or friends. They can offer guidance, encouragement, and sometimes even practical solutions to help you overcome the challenge.
Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 New International Version (NIV)
Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor: If either falls, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.
Let's be honest; there will be many mornings and days when you need more motivation to push forward toward your goals, which is a regular expression for everyone. However, in those moments of feeling low or unmotivated, you need to make yourself and redirect your energy towards forward progress through a sense of purpose: Which leads to you identifying the larger purpose or meaning behind what you're working on.
Keeping a clear view of personal or professional goals or something that aligns with your values and passions will lead to a transparent sense of purpose, which translates into staying focused and motivated when things get tough.
Mind reset Quote:
We may encounter many defeats, but we must not be defeated." - Maya Angelou
Stop engaging your day with a "Whatever happens mindset." Instead, be intentional that each day you will set small, achievable goals: Instead of trying to tackle an enormous, overwhelming task all at once, break it down into smaller, more manageable goals. This will result in us finding a sense of accomplishment as we progress and keep us motivated to keep going.
All that we desire and imagine are all possible once we have the accountability and discipline to renew our minds daily. So let us set an objective to embrace and celebrate small victories each day by designing small manageable goals that will instill consistency and progress in our daily routine.
To achieve your small goals, we'll need to be DISCIPLINE and ACCOUNTABLE with all areas of our lives. That's the key to success.
Implementing these today will propel you through this year with massive success attached to you.
- Set specific and achievable goals: Choose a few simple, straightforward, measurable goals you can work towards this year. Remember: Out of sight, out of mind, so write those goals down and have them visible, and a plan for how you will achieve them.
- Learn a new skill or hobby: Take the time to learn something new that you've always been interested in. This could be a skill related to your work or something completely unrelated.
- Furthermore, Practice self-care: Make sure to prioritize your well-being by taking care of your physical, mental, and emotional health. This could involve exercising, eating well, getting enough sleep, and engaging in activities that bring you joy and relaxation.

What if we are in a plane when the pilot experience severe turbulence?
Would you be comfortable if he forgot how to navigate terrible conditions or hope with extreme confidence that He will remember his training on operating an aircraft through unwanted conditions?
It is the same as how we navigate through life; we will encounter turbulence, hard times, and mountainous challenges thats a given. Whether they are a failed relationship, job loss, or even extreme failure, please let us not dwell or focus our attention on that failure or challenge.
However, let us fix our attention on operating our life in close relation to the pilot and his aircraft through a clear understanding that our family can survive.

By us leading our lives with precise attention on our aspirations, habits, and living fulfilled life through demolishing and dethroning all the uncertainty of not understanding a particular thing to learn all we can towards mastery.
Mastery is not a function of genius or talent, it is a function of time and intense focus applied to a particular field of knowledge.
The secret to success is retaining your child-like qualities.

Furthermore, let us not forget how to love ourselves on our journey towards self-mastery. Genesis tells us that we were created in the image of God. God breathed life into us. His breath flows inside of us. Therefore, God is the source of life from within us. He is inside of us, around us — everywhere.
Here is today's Power Word.
1 Corinthians 6:19
New International Version
Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;
YOU'RE A MIRACLE!
God wants you to live life on Purpose.
You are in for a gift from today's show; welcome to the full joy podcast; this is your host, kevin, and we are glad you have taken this time to listen to our show. Lets us start today's show with our Power Word. Romans 8:38-39 "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Today's power word produces a bluntly claim that there is no mountain high enough to keep Christ from coming to our assistance and protection. Therefore, summoning both gladness and hopes to our hearts on observing God's love on display in such a manner while being reminded that we are His creation, and He loves every one of us so profoundly.
What challenges are thats attempting to change your view of God?
It is time to establish the standard of a conquering spirit towards all that seeks to destroy. Therefore, let us remind ourselves how fearfully and wonderfully of a creation we are while holding firm to the promises that God had knitted within us before the inception of our birth.
Presently, we observe a necessary and unavoidable promise by God that He has already created a list of the worst things that can happen in this life to make the point that none of them demonstrate a loss of Christ's love from us.
YOU'RE A MIRACLE!

When an individual virtue exceeds that person, then they become the more excellent person. Moreover, we believe that each of our listeners possesses both a high esteem characteristic and high virtue, which allows us to discover our untapped inner strength and power to withstand all our temporary storms with high confidence.
Yes, we will encounter a day in our lives where we will feel like life has hit rock bottom. Whether it is arriving to work late, experience a fender bender, possibly spilling coffee on our clothing before a prominent interview, or in some sense, like myself, who can have several minute issues pile up and make the entire day difficult.
Let us continue on this journey with faith that God did not carry us thus far to leave us; we will close the door to the harmful chatters of failure, doubt, and the lies of our past.
Here is our Power Word.
Psalm 116:1-2
"I love the Lord because he hears me;
he listens to my prayers.
He listens to me
every time I call to him."
Remain dedicated to the transformational process of becoming a better person and elevating oneself, remain determined to stay the course towards growth even when our perspective of completing our goals may seem undone.
Finally, please remain disciplined on our mind strengthening renewal journey because it is comfortable to revert into negativity or self-doubt, forcing us into becoming our worst enemy.
By activating faith and confidence in God's promises each day, it allows God to assist in every area of our life. Because He does not want any of us to live a life in doubt of his presence in our daily lives, we can promise with complete confidence in God's word that all our struggles are always a part of his more excellent plan no matter how severe they may seem. Additionally, often we can feel as if we are praying to air. However, his word promises that he is listening. He will answer us; it just might take longer than we want.

First, we want to express distinguished mother's day wishes to all the mothers from everyone here at the full joy studios. Yes, there is one day out of the year thats marked as mom's special day. However, we believe that all mothers should receive similar expressions of heart-felt love comparable to May 9. Every day should carry the same level of dedication as it is Mother's Day.
We are honored to all the great women in our lives who have helped raise and influence us towards our self-discovery and greatness, take this time to shower our mothers, Auties, and grandparents with both appreciate meaningful gifts, at-home family brunch, and of course, a reemphasize "I love you, mom."
The Bible our spiritual manual exhibits strong and powerful ladies who demonstrated stable spiritual mindsets, love for families, and unwavering female strength. Mother's have inspired generations.
However, the spiritual manual does not directly address the holiday of Mother's Day in its verses. Still, it often addresses the celebration of motherhood and mothers, such as in the following power word passages.
- Isaiah 49:15:"Can a mother forget her nursing child? Can she feel no love for the child she has borne?"
- Proverbs 31:25: "She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come."
- Proverbs 31:26: "She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue."
- Proverbs 31:28–29: "Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: 'Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all.'"

It is not enough to pray, but to meditate on God's promises is also necessary on our journey because life can seem confusing at times. We will have moments when it seems like we are walking out on freedom from challenges. To suddenly feel as though we are journeying through fire and extreme difficulties, faith is highly needed within either of these scenarios, having the faith that holds firm and visualizes God's promises through all our struggles.
Furthermore, we can always pull examples and life lessons from our history, like, for instance, the story of the Hebrew men who encountered their test of faith and trust after being sentenced to the fiery furnace. God made sure that no harm befell them and protected them to the point that not even their clothes were damage through personally standing literally amid the fire.
However, there is an integral part of these men's journeys that is not often voice, and it is how confident they were in speaking words of faith over their lives while steering into the death of the fiery furnace.
Mind Reset Quote:
When we pray, God hears more than we say, answers more than we ask, gives more than we imagine, in his own time and in His way.
I believe their statements and their obedience to God are what attracted God to their location. God enabled them to be placed in the most dangerous circumstances to show their enemy that He was with them. "God with us," Emmanuel, is a potent reality.
Here is our power word.
Romans 15:4
"For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide, we might have hope."
Zephaniah 3:17
The Lord, your God, is with you,
the Mighty Warrior who saves.
He will take great delight in you;
in his love, he will no longer rebuke you
but will rejoice over you with singing."
Remember that we are the apple of God's eyes, and whatever trials seem to elevate their ugly heads against us, we will see God's victory because wherever He is, there are miracles and triumph. Let us meditate and allow God's presence to saturate us, which in return builds our strength and confidence that no weapon or fire can overcome our reality.
We are not alone. The Lord is with us! Furthermore, that is a fact.
YOU'RE A MIRACLE!

We have mentioned numerous times in previous episodes how incredible you are, along with the outstanding qualities God has deposited inside of us. If uncovered, those qualities can transform our life and leave a legacy as history makers due to our life firmly established on an eternal savior.
We are both loved and adored by a loving savior; we cannot allow or give way to things in this world that temporarily discourage or demolish our thoughts about God's love towards us.
Furthermore, with our daily discipline towards growth and personal development, we will have the courage to declare a God can-do attitude while among disappointments or challenges instead of succumbing to discouragement or anger.
Besides, a God can-do attitude will encourage us to pray for direction and support through each circumstance rather than praying for the circumstances to be removed solely. With the understanding and awareness that the road ahead will be challenging, we will turn out all right due to our steadfast faith in God while steadily holding on to His promises.
Here's today's Power Word:
Jeremiah 1:18
Now behold, this day, I have made you like a fortified city, an iron pillar, and bronze walls against the whole land--against the kings of Judah, its officials, its priests, and the people of the land.
Jeremiah 1:19
They will fight against you but will never overcome you since I am with you to deliver you," declares the LORD.
Take hold of this truth despite the current pressure or uncertainty of our world. Our future is bright and loaded with endless opportunities. Let us start acknowledging that we are a magnet of love, kindness, and positivity, which leads to a God's will expectation.
YOU'RE A MIRACLE

Time is the only thing we all have in common, and the individual that cultivates and manages his time wisely will see exponential growth. A clear understanding of how to redeem our time is necessary due to the excessive distracting noise of this world.
Furthermore, a daily reminder of our dreams and purpose can assist in realignment towards purpose, which also helps cultivate clarity in our thoughts.
Here is our mind reset quote:
It is not enough to be busy. The question is: what are you busy with? Henry David Thoreau
What are you busy with?
Decide today to become more aware of what we are spending our precious time on; each day is a gift, so investing our time with daily disciplines into the proper channels will deliver extraordinary results, both positive or negative.
Here's today's Power word.
Proverbs 27:1 Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring.
Plus, having a clear mental picture of our goals will sustain a positive perspective of each day and set the standard on managing our time wisely. Moreover, dwelling in the past will not produce healing or productivity towards each day we are blessed to behold.
We can achieve our purpose through organizing our time and planning wisely for the future. Furthermore, due to the advancement of technology, there are time management apps that we should take advantage of; if you are an old school, a simple notepad or calendar will help.
Here are a few simple action steps towards our discipline time management skills.
- Pray for God's help to manage and remove procrastination and idleness from our lives.
- Take care of the most important task first.
- Investing our time through taking every thought captive and meditating on God's words.
- Convert those discipline time management traits into result.
- Identify your value
- Do not try pleasing everyone.
Don't put your focus on the unnecessary distractions of life.
When we live with an eternal perspective, managing our time better leads to a more incredible transformation to purpose. Always remember that every minute counts.
We declare over your lives today that we will make an effort to redeem our time.
Instead of repeating this false statement: practice makes perfect, let us replace it with practice improves.
Always room for improvement.
Be warned; it is easy to feel unmotivated to pursue a passion while on our journey towards purpose, especially when encountering an abundance of opposition. If we are not observant of our thoughts, those oppositions can seem overwhelming to conclude that reducing our goals or just settling for a humble career might be the best decision.
Maybe it is best to hold off on those daring dreams until our world circumstance changes. Furthermore, the negative thoughts can present themselves the loudest at times if not brought into captivity and place under subjection with what God thinks and say's about us.
God has mentioned countless times how special and important we are, which in all honesty, from us here at the studio, trumps the views of others.
Be reminded that we will encounter another more significant challenge with each elevation and advancement if we progress forward and not relent. At times our challenges are success examinations masquerading as an impossible assignment. Due to our steadfast determination to renewing and ministering to our subconscious mind, success will follow us.
Here is our mind reset quote.
Cultivation of the mind should be the ultimate aim of human existence.
B. R. Ambedkar
Furthermore, it is imperative to focus on cultivating our minds as the first step to unlocking victories over setbacks or failures.
Now, the art of cultivating our minds could be comparable to a farmer cultivating his crops. The farmer would have designed a routine schedule and the discipline to locate and remove unwanted weeds or visitors in his garden. He would also remove nonproductive crops and replace them, and it is the same for us during this journey to becoming our best version.
By locating any, toxic thoughts—such as stress, worry, fear, anger, and unforgiveness, can all cause damage to the brain. These toxic thoughts release chemicals into the brain, causing chaos and damage. They can also cause a loss of sleep or of the ability to do our jobs right, physical illness, and more.
However, when we guard our minds and thoughts and keep ourselves in an attitude of faith, praise, thanksgiving, and truth, we will experience consistency, healing, deliverance, and victory.
Here is today's Powerful word.
1 Peter 1:13
New International Version
13 Therefore, with minds that are alert and fully sober, set your hope on the grace to be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed at his coming.
Let us commence identifying information or habits that have not yield any productive progress to our purpose and replace it with thoughts in line with the Word of God that will protect us—spirit, soul, and body.
Welcome to the third and final installment of our concise study into Zachariah's life of fear, self-doubt, and triumph. Today's show will reveal the humanity and curiosity of Zachariah by submerging ourselves into his thoughts which in conclusion is no different from how we would respond in that same situation.
Our story picks up from Luke 1 vs. 18-23.
18 Zechariah asked the Angel, "How can I be sure of this? I am an old man, and my wife is well along in years."
19 The Angel said to him, "I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to tell you this good news. 20 And now you will be silent and not able to speak until the day this happens because you did not believe my words, which will come true at their appointed time."
23 When his time of service was completed, he returned home. 24 After this, his wife Elizabeth became pregnant and for five months remained in seclusion. 25 "The Lord has done this for me," she said. "In these days, he has shown his favor and taken away my disgrace among the people."
Here doubt introduces itself to Zachariah, even after been assured by an angel of the Lord on becoming a father. Doubt still found an opportunity to sneak into Zachariah's consciousness, showing a harsh contrast on how easy that can happen to us as well after witnessing God's favor in opening unexcepted possibilities.
However, God has always provided a problem-solving solution throughout his instruction manual in the form of what we here at the Fulljoy studio calls the I Can, I am, and Is there. Meaning, we will proclaim to our conscious mind that yes, I can do all things, yes, I am more than a conqueror, and also yes, is there anything too hard for God? Moreover, we recognize that the answer to that question is no; there is nothing too hard for our God.
Here is a perfect chance right this minute to proclaim those promises over our life to witness God's super-natural breakthrough. Proclaim that:
- I can do all things
-I am more than a conqueror
-Is there anything too hard for God?
Stop talking yourself out of God's blessings for your life because there is life in our words that can produce results, either positive or negative. Notice how the Angel had to silence Zachariah until he beholds God's spoken miracle due to his doubt and little faith.
God fulfilled his promise to Zachariah and Elizabeth at the appointed time while they stayed the course onward in faith and action. Elizabeth is now pregnant with a baby boy named John. John is called great, and the Angel of God says John has a great purpose to fulfill.
YOU'RE A MIRACLE!
God wants you to live life on PURPOSE.
Our last show mentioned that even when we focus on living a righteous lifestyle, the challenge will lurk on possibly devouring us as we followed the life of Elizabeth and Zachariah.
We'll pick up from where we left off and plunge more inward for life lessons and the opportunity to learn from history.
Here is the second half of our Power Word. Luke 1 v10-17
10 And when the time for the burning of incense came, all the assembled worshipers were praying outside.
11 Then an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing at the right side of the altar of incense. 12 When Zechariah saw him, he was startled and was gripped with fear. 13 But the angel said to him: "Do not be afraid, Zechariah; your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to call him John. 14 He will be a joy and delight to you, and many will rejoice because of his birth, 15 for he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He is never to take wine or other fermented drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit even before he is born. 16 He will bring back many of the people of Israel to the Lord their God. 17 And he will go on before the Lord, in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the parents to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous—to make ready a people prepared for the Lord."
Pray and stay the course while starving the urge to be overwhelmed by fear. Notice Zachariah's intentionality to seek counsel from God through prayer, however even among an angel of the Lord, he became gripped with fear. God never intended for us to operate in fear; however, He prefers when we pray with accurate expectations, believing that He will bring forth victories in every sector of our lives. We are well aware that fear keeps us stuck in place, preventing us from living our lives by faith on the path to our purpose.
YOU'RE A MIRACLE!

In today's episode, well, take some time to examine God's predestine favor over our life. All his blessings and reveal his prosperity intentions in our following upcoming episodes.
Let us introduce today's Power word. Luke 1 v5-23. We will cover verses 5 through 9 in today's show.
5 In the time of Herod king of Judea, there was a priest named Zechariah, who belonged to the priestly division of Abijah; his wife Elizabeth was also a descendant of Aaron. 6 Both of them were righteous in the sight of God, observing all the Lord's commands and decrees blamelessly. 7 But they were childless because Elizabeth was not able to conceive, and they were both very old.
8 Once, when Zechariah's division was on duty, and he was serving as priest before God, 9 he was chosen by lot, according to the custom of the priesthood, to go into the temple of the Lord and burn incense.
Notice how even when we are intentional in following the righteous path. Life seems to present disappointments, similar to Zechariah and Elizabeth, who strived to observe God's commands and decrees, but the joy of being parents was impossible due to their inability to conceive.
Remain committed to endeavoring towards your purpose with God, who leads the way to our predestined future appointed with abundant blessings.
YOU'RE A MIRACLE!

Our Mind Reset Quote:
Never forget that intelligence rules the world and ignorance carries the burden. Therefore, remove yourself as far as possible from ignorance and seek as far as possible to be intelligent. | Marcus Garvey
You are blessed when you stay on course, walking steadily on the road revealed by God. The blessing will follow us when we follow in God's direction, striving with the best effort to discover His love towards us.
However, please stay alert because the enticing pleasures of this world can quickly shift us from our path; walk straight along the road he set even when it does not make sense. You are a forward thinker, and the enemy is hustling, seeking to cause chaos and uncertainty; therefore, our primary focal point as we journey through 2021 is to stay the course.
When we analyze the phrase "Stay the course," it's usually used in the context of combat or conflict, meaning to pursue a goal regardless of any obstacles or criticism.
- to continue with a process, effort, etc., even though it is difficult
- to continue doing something until it is finished or until you achieve something you have planned to do:
Additionally, staying the course requires a certain amount of courage and endurance, and if you are motivated by being liked or need to be comfortable at all times, you will never release the faith needed to stay the course. Embrace the unbelievers and hold firm on faith in God which will elevate you to new levels.
Here's a simple 3 step formula that can be applied today for massive growth.
- Eliminate quitting as an option.
- Become more adaptive to new patterns of thoughts.
- Continue to trust the process; everything thats good takes time.
Nehemiah 8:10 NIV "Do not grieve for the joy of the Lord is your strength."
The Lord is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him a habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him. Exodus 15:2

A wise quote mentioned and encouraged consulting history for stable progression towards the future is profitable to those receptive to learning from history. Each lesson is a challenge in life, comes with a new lesson to uncover about ourselves along with the grace and favor of God's mighty hand securing through it all.
Think about the many situations or miscalculated decisons we have made that should have yielded a result of evil, disaster, or pain, but by God's mercy, we made it through. That signifies that each who trusts in the Lord has a substantial history with him. Furthermore, having a postured heart towards God leads to unmeasurable blessings and favor due to the desire to include Him voluntarily in our lives.
Here's our power word:
Genesis 24:40
He replied, 'The Lord, before whom I have walked faithfully, will send his angel with you and make your journey a success so that you can get a wife for my son from my clan and my father's family.
We are fully aware of Abrahams's biography on how he not only walk with God faithfully and trustworthy, but he Abraham was obedient to God, where he almost sacrifice his precious son Isaac.
Keep believing that God will protect you and make our purposeful journey a success.
Whatever you face, keep walking in faithfulness and be confident that He will do it again and make your journey a success.
Remember, you cannot heal until we allow ourselves permission to feel what you are feeling. Within this life, there is much beauty as much pain.

Here is a word that I have struggles embracing: contentment, which means a state of happiness or satisfaction.
For me, contentment looms as a fixed mindset because there is so much more we can achieve and receive in this life.
Why would you want to settle for less? It has always been a question I have asked myself.
However, after careful examination of one of our contributing author's lives, David introduces us to our F.T.D.C.R formula to a purposeful life. I discovered that contentment with God is far different from contentment with perishable commodities.
After David's anointed to be the next king of Israel, he spent years taking care of his Father's sheep. David could have thought, God, what am I doing stuck with a bunch of sheep? However, David knew that God was in control, so he just kept going to work with a good attitude, grateful for where he was. Because David was content in the shepherds' fields, David made it to the throne. He passed that test.
However, if you are not content with the season you are in, you will not be satisfied even if your dreams come to pass. Discontentment will follow you everywhere you go.
Here are our Power Words.
But godliness with contentment is great gain.
1 Timothy 6:6, NIV
Psalm 23:4
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Let's train our minds to be thankful and satisfied with where God has us right now. Over the noises or influences of our culture, selling the false narrative of acquiring more possessions produces contentment. Instead, see every moment as a gift from God to become more helpful than the previous day, reflecting on the growth you have made. God has a bright future for us.

Today you are on an extraordinary life journey; it is a new day with fresh opportunities to realign oneself towards our goals. Do not fall prey to the stories that life is not significant or purposeful. You are here to make a meaningful impact while on the mission of becoming the best version of yourself.
Here's our Power Word.
Mathew 9:17
Nor do people pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst, the wine will spill out, and the skins will be ruined. Instead, they pour new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved."
I want to share a small insert from a message I received a couple of months ago from a good friend that coincides with today's show.
"We know, and we are told as believers to always put God first in everything we do. We begin our day with prayer, with reading His word. How about, as believers, we take the challenge and take it a step further. Let us think of God first in our thoughts as we enter a different room/place/building, as we begin a new topic of conversation, as we begin to do each task at work/home, as we begin to think new thoughts. God is a new beginning, a fresh new beginning. Furthermore, how awesome it would be for God to know we think of him as often as we do when we are falling in love with that special someone. So I challenge us as believers to Fall in Love with God through new beginnings with Him every day."
You are a new individual through this transformational process of renewing our thoughts and activating desire towards God's purpose.

However, there is a must-know reason why most individuals experience a failure to launch into their impossible dreams challenge. It is usually due to the lack of focus on that one particular dream and committing to world-class mastery.
Furthermore, the miss conception is that if I'm undertaking multiple passions or desires with the hopes of success, then we are simply a jack of all trades but a master of none.
Remember that when a farmer plants a seed in the ground, he has limited control over the production result rate, but he controls the watering of that seed.
Here's today's Power word.
James 1:17
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with no variation or shadow due to change.
It is the same with our dreams; we have the opportunity to plant our purpose seed in today's world with a strong belief that God will supply the result. We remain steadfast towards personal development and becoming our best self by mastering one gift at a time while navigating the locust's dream snatchers and bad-weather self doubters that seek to hinder us.
Do not stop believing in that dream; prioritize focusing on that idea while adding the main ingredients. Stay alert because there will be challenging times on this journey, but before being pulled into many unnecessary directions or contemplate giving up.
We have been inspired and encouraged to progress even when life seems to test us with all unusual challenges. Furthermore, a deeper understanding of this powerful word present by David has ignited a fire as to how we can walk with the authority of our God and represent him well.
David did just that in a bold but audacious way. He represents God with such confidence that the title A man after God's only heart was modeled towards his desire to atone and seek God's wisdom.

Psalm 37 1:7
Do not fret because of those who are evil

3 Trust in the Lord and do good;
dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
4 Take delight in the Lord,

5 Commit your way to the Lord;

6 He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn,
your vindication like the noonday sun.
7 Be still before the Lord

do not fret when people succeed in their ways,
when they carry out their wicked schemes.

If we knew that applying the FTDCR formula of fret not, trust in, delight in, commit your, and rest with as a daily affirmation and principle, you would witness incredible blessings, favor, and supernatural boldness to overcome anything.
We believe that each person possesses similar character traits as that of David, the author of today's power word. with the same fortitude to stand against whatever the lion, bear, or giant symbolizes in your life today.
David demonstrated that self-care is not selfish. Remember that David had a degrading job base on the opinions of others but most definitely not God.
We could see that David did not entertain or concern himself with other's opinions of him or his career, which explains why he started this letter with Fret not. We believe the only opinion that should concern you is that of God and those immediate family members who understand your vision. Furthermore, tending to the sheep was the best thing for Davids' mental,emotinal, physical, and spiritual growth. He had the opportunity to discover that his identity had no connection in being a shepherd boy; however, he had a higher purpose towards defeating giants and kingship.
Here is a question that I had to consider while recording this show.
Is our day-to-day schedule so involved to the point that there is no deliberate availability for God?

Hopefully, we are not alone in this statement. Adulting is not easy; there is a variant of challenges that attempts to infiltrate our positive and productive radius each day.
Furthermore, it is easy to fall prey to regression or unwarranted thoughts of oneself without careful consideration or observation.

1 Timothy 5:13 - And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.
Proverbs 21:23 - Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.
YOU'RE A MIRACLE!

I will go out a limb here and say many of our listeners have heard this "forgive and forget" phrase several times before. Which honestly is easier said than done.
We are fully aware that each individual both process and react to hurt differently, along with an understanding that physical, mental or emotional scars can leave profound triggers behind.
Furthermore, allowing one's scars of forgiveness to heal requires time and patience, similar to attending a physical injury.
For example, A individual nursing a broken limb needs to tend to and care for that injury until it fully heals while finding the strength to confront the incident that produced the injury and possibly build up enough courage to forgive for personal development and betterment.
Moreover, those scars could also display tremendous challenges towards forgiveness due to emotional and physical exertion thats required. Nevertheless, the pain of living with bitterness and unforgiveness can poison one's soul and destroy that person.
However, there is always hope towards the transformation of ourselves. Each day you rise, it's another day to become the best version of yourself, and when we forgive others, we are not saying what they did was OK, but we are releasing them to God and letting go of its grasp on us. Forgiveness does not forget, but it does set free from bitterness and grudges.
Power Word.
Ephesians 4:31-32
31 Get rid of all bitterness, rage, and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. 32 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
Luke 6:37 "Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
Again, we're not naive to how arduous this forgiveness journey will be; it requires a mind reset each day. However, we are confident that you can obtain the courage and leadership fortitude in leaning towards a forgive to a better mindset.
YOU'RE A MIRACLE!

View your peaceful or secret times with God as empowering moments to refuel and gain strategies to conquer all challenges disguise themselves as impossible duties.
We bring you evidence of the truth that God never has and will never give us more than our share, included with the knowledge that all things are possible with Him when we faith in Him.
The reason why we can vividly encourage or voice such confidence in God comes down to a significant aspect of faith, and that is trust.
Trusting in your heavenly father without viewing his tangible form requires maximum effort towards faith along with the confidence to believe God that nothing is impossible with Him.
Again:
What is your impossible dream?
What is the idea that once captivated your heart, that life's circumstances have since stifled?
Reflect on these questions because they will help realign us to revisit our goals, afterward commencing a course to discover our buried treasure of purpose and not falling prey to the storms of non-essential distractions.
Here's our Power Word:
Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, [and] there is nothing too hard for thee: ~ Jeremiah 32:17 KJV
No temptation has overtaken you that is not comman to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide a way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. ~ 1 Corinthians 10:13 ESV
There are nothing thats too hard for your heavenly Father, He has promised to take care of all the cannot or impossible dreams. With the Esteem in God's wisdom that He will bring us to salvation.
What you believe determines what you see!
Please, do not allow the stagnation of I cannot words; it is too late now, or even maybe it is best to settle can produce an attitude of giving up on our impossible dream.

In a previous episode, an introduction to a portion of Elijah's life was released. It revealed how even a great man of God like Elijah had experienced some form of fear.
That episode also gave insights and hope that God will not forsake or abandon us even in the lowest moments of our life.
For Elijah, God joined him at a Cave and communicated through a whisper.
Taking a moment to escape with God has to be deliberate due to the demands and hectic life tasks that seem to slip through the secret time's unions.
Here is an Article insert from Anchroed voices on how comfortable we can become with the requirements of life, that we can skip our secret time with God each day.
Noise is constantly slipping through the cracks of the quiet I long for.
I thrust myself into the delusive peace of TV binges and smartphone apps to no avail. Even in the silence, I hear it. To-do lists loom, notifications whip out onto screens with a snap, and the world tells me, "do more, be more, give more. More, more, more."
The loudness of expectation from a world begging for me to listen to the seductive songs of leisure and mediocrity has threatened to leave my nerves strung out and dry. I feel alone, withering away on the scorching asphalt of the demands of everyone and everything except the one I long to serve most—my Lord and my God.
It is only in his presence that I can hear my soul delicately whisper, "Shhhh, I am listening for the words of my Master."
The only antidote I have found to the barrage of solicitation and thirst for more is the familiar cushion of truth found in the scriptures.
Here's our Power Word:
Psalms 91
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
YOU ARE A MIRACLE!

We are proud of your steps thus far towards transformation and betterment of oneself. You've worked hard not to stay the same by combining dedication, commitment, and hard work on resharing our minds.
Now be warned because others will start viewing you as strange due to your commitment towards development. Outsiders will inquire why it is crucial to remain focused in these current times of uncertainty.
Stand and guard your goals and dreams; because you're created with a divine appointment, and if we remain focused on our purpose by deflecting the naysayer, we will meet keep all divine appointments.
Here's our Power Word for today:
1 Kings 19:11-23
"The LORD said, 'Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the LORD, for the LORD is about to pass by.' Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake came a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper. When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave. Then a voice said to him, 'What are you doing here, Elijah?'"
In this passage, Elijah is in hiding. The threats from Jezabel swung over his future, and he ran for the hills, even after seeing God rain down fire and give victory when Elijah stood against the prophets of Baal.
In God's presence, the unhealthy thoughts and the shame that blinds us diminishes.
YOU'RE A MIRACLE!

Within every human being is a longing desire to succeed, whether professional or personal. We are all hardwired with the passion for achieving and excelling.
With tools that have been endowed within to succeed at any challenge,
However, to fully grab hold of all that's in our toolbox of success, we will need to take a small step back and answer a few questions. These questions will help with a purposeful directional change towards our destiny; they will also help us understand our stuck point and steps to progress with clarity towards purpose.
Here's our question's curtesy from Dr. Myles Monroe.
- Who am I?- what is your identity.
- Where am I from? Do you understand your heritage or source?
- Why Am I here? Referring to our purpose.
- What can I do? Referring to what are you capable of doing
- Where am I going?
Taking the time to answer and unravel these questions can catapult anyone towards a stronger relationship with one's inner self. Allowing us the permission to search for the undiscovered lineage of confidence, strength, and God's power.
Furthermore, please, let us take the opportunity to search deep within ourselves to understand our heritage. Which we believe will deliver clarity of who we are.
We also believe that God placed within you everything you would need to advance through the troubles of life.
Your power word:
Jeremiah 17:7 But blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him.
Deuteronomy 8:18 But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he declared to your forefathers, as it is today.
YOU ARE A MIRACLE!

What if we were able to view the amount of time we had left on this earth?
How would you spend time? Would there be a sense of urgency on pursuing purpose? Would we squander the majority of it, or would we seek to shine the brightest in demonstrating God's love to each human encounter?
Let us take a closer look into today's episode, right after a message from our sponsor. Do not touch that dial; see you on the other side of this commercial break.
We have mentioned this before on countless episodes of our podcast on how we are firm believers that each individual possesses an unstoppable gift that will favor accomplishing their purpose.
We can drain the life out of each day by applying a relentless desire to make the best of that particular day and enjoy everyday life despite the odds or disadvantages.
Power words
James 4:14
Yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes.
Colossians 4:5
Walk-in wisdom toward outsiders, making the best use of the time.
Let us refuse to get stuck in our ways and routine and just kind of coast through life.
YOU'RE A MIRACLE!

"Live your life awake. Live your life to the fullest. It's the only way!"
In todays' culture, the word patience is gradually getting replaced with the word instant. Alternatively, even statements like this one: "let time be the master." is steadily progressing towards being a casualty of this fast-moving society.
However, we will refuse to accept the tales.
Patience is such a vital aspect of life and our overall health and well-being. Furthermore, allowing time to be the master plays a significant role in enabling the positive efforts to reinvent ourselves to compound.
We have become accustomed to replaying the narrative of I cannot start over or don't have enough time, which is a myth!
Mind Reset Quote:
"The graveyard is the richest place on earth because it is here that you will find all the hopes and dreams that were never fulfilled, the books that were never written, the songs that were never sung, the inventions that were never shared, the cures that were never discovered, all because someone was too afraid to take that first step, keep with the problem, or determined to carry out their dream."
– Les Brown
Nevertheless, many of our talents and gifts decay due to negative self-talk or obsession with others' options. Stop believing the myths of "I cannot start over." we're here to remind you that yes, you can choose to do something with all the fortunes of this modern world with ingredients of faith, focus, determination, patience hard work. Strive not to concede the comforts of this culture; it limits our belief in becoming history makers.
Your power word:
"A gift opens the way and ushers the giver into the presence of the great" (Proverbs 18:16).
However, do not let that discourage you. Make the world a more prosperous place by sharing your talents with it.

Power word:
From Psalm 32:8, "I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you." and Malachai 3:6, "I the Lord do not change. So you, the descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed."
I wonder how many of our listeners remember hearing this quote.
"Habits are easy to form but hard to break, but make sure the one's that you create you don't have to break."
It's undoubtedly easy to develop habits that are not productive or even a mental capacity of inactivity. Leaving your destiny or purpose to chance instead of believing that a small step of purposeful intentions to reshape your thinking can transform your entire future outlook.
Our power word demonstrates how God himself has promised to instruct and teach us, even when our outlook of life may seem tedious.
Mind reset quote for today:
"There is but one good; that is God. Everything else is good when it looks to Him and bad when it turns from Him." C.S lewis
How pleasing it is to know that life will not automatically become easy or trouble-free once I've knowingly accepted God's help. However, He has now command responsibility to protect and guide me; now, you're still in complete control of your life and decisions with all transparency. You're not a robot.
From our power word to a small insert from C.S Lewis's book, we demonstrate that with God's inclusion within our everyday life, there's no need for us to try and please everyone. That he's created us with unique abilities, and we're able to reinvent ourselves in becoming the best version.
Please, set denounce bad habits and replace them with foundational principles. That will establish a standard for our future generations.

In a previous episode, we mentioned that you are a mini-god due to having God's traits within you from the commencement of the fabulous world origin.
Today we'll continue with part 2 of this thought-provoking episode.
Now can I be honest with you before we start our excursion into today's episode?
The road ahead will be challenging and wearying. This life will test your capacity to manage and endure hardship. You'll have moments like these, possibly feeling it's best to settle for less because things won't change, lower your standards, or even question if your purpose or dreams is worth this much struggle or strain.
It's a possibility you can find yourself asking a question, like, for instance: Why is it that those individuals are succeeding and not me? What did I do to warrant this not-so-productive life, or When will things change for me. To name a few.
Those emotions or perceptions are not wrong because each individual has intersected the lonely or deserted streets of life at some point.
To combat those thoughts or emotions is to understand one purpose and seek to uncover the jewel of faith and courage thats concealed on the inside of each one, embracing the common denominator that your life is loaded with endless opportunities only disguised as impossible solutions.
Let us continue to hold on to the fact that you have something great that the world is eager to witness.
in Lamentations 3:21-23 were introduce to our power word, which reads: Chapter Parallel Compare
21 Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: 22 Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. 23 They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
Let us continue to press on with a steadfast mind that you have something great that the world is eager to witness. Holding firmly to the belief that I'm able to overcome anything and declare that your life will turn out great.
please repeat after me: {life will get complicated, but I will turn out alright]
You're a MIRACLE. LIVE LIFE ON PURPOSE!
We have always said this on the show. Be careful what you're advertising to the subconscious mind each day. These times and situations can create an abundance of little thoughts of optimism for the future, which can overshadow all the blessings and gifts embedded in us since the inception of time. Furthermore, in the middle of hardship or despair, we solely believe that you're not alone and God is still trustworthy to provide provisions through the crazy and chaotic struggles of this world.
Your power word!
Mathew 11:28-30
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." [NIV]
These words are not a command but an invitation; they are the words of our caring Saviour. God wants us to live life on purpose, without the negative self-talk, and replace each doubt with peace that nothing has caught him off guard.
You are A MIRACLE!
Live life on PURPOSE!
Pain is one of the universal things we individuals will ever experience. Furthermore, we can all relate to finding the strength deep within to overcome and endure pain. Moreover, it does not discriminate based on either our financial status or social status, and it cannot be outrun or even escape its existence because it is a permanent part of our life.
In Psalm 139:16-18, the author David gives a small outline of how precious we are to God, that God already ordained our days and destiny. Also, revealing a sneak peek of how vast God's loving thoughts towards us are uncountable similar to the grain of sand on the seashore.
Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
How precious to me are your thoughts,[a] God! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand when I awake, I am still with you.
We hope that this small insert from David's letter encourages and reveals God's immense care for His entire creation, especially for each of us individually. He still cares for us during these times of pain, uncertainty, and possible fear. He has a plan to redeem, re-energize, and reconcile us from any unwanted thoughts about ourselves. Furthermore, He will not forsake us even when we will depend on others or things instead of His supernatural power and wisdom in the presence of struggles. He is still waiting with outstretched arms to welcome us home.
YOU'RE A MiRACLE. LIVE LIFE ON PURPOSE.
When we say tomorrow’s not a promise.
What’s the first thing that comes to mind? If you're thinking along the perimeter of making the best of each day, then you're getting warmer.
We’ve mentioned this before that each day is an opportunity to shape your future. I could go out on a limb and predict that each individual hopes and desires to achieve a level of success that ultimately rewards freedom and peace of mind. And having the ability to see into the future is not within our capabilities, but we can always learn from history.
This is why living for today and enjoying everyday life is so important because in a split second we could lose it all. Arise each morning with the intention to reshape your future through calculated and intentional steps each day, keep decluttering your mind and life from things that can weigh you down.
Albert Einstein once said: Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.
So whatever each day brings, you’re posed to overcome because you're intentional in making the best of that particular day and not taking your blessings for granted.
Your power word.
Proverbs 27:
Do not boast about tomorrow for you do not know what a day may bring.
So whatever each day brings, you’re posed to overcome because you're focusing on making the best of that particular day. Not taking your blessings for granted but being grateful in every situation.
YOU'RE A MIRACLE! LIVE LIFE ON PURPOSE.
So too often we embark on life's journey with the wrong thought process about ourselves. We pack our brian lunch box with unhealthy thoughts, allowing those unwanted thoughts to foster into deplorable personas. Believing the lies that the only possible way to live a life of freedom is through the approval of others. Which in results can mature into a coalition of taking everything someone says about you too personal.
This journey will require more from you. It will demand that you change and grow because it's through steady growth you'll discover your untapped potential. Now a keen attentiveness to both your attitude towards life and how you view yourself must be on high alert, staying cautious of the seeds you're currently planting in the soil of your mind and thoughts.
Now we’re aware that there’s already a lot on your tasks list of life. This is why it's important to develop a learn from your error mindset because an unstoppable momentum for elevation gets activated within you. It allows you to embrace failure and has the opportunity to unroot any insecurities or other hidden non-essential qualities. Which overtime not only builds your self-confidence but also empowers a gradual climb to dance on self-doubt.
In 2 Corinthians 10:5, the author apostle Paul not only witnessed a nationwide epidemic of people pleasers and those with low self-esteem but he himself became susceptible to a numerous amount of self-doubt and a desire to please others. But through self-reflection and awareness of God's love, he commenced on a journey of re-building a new identity through God, where he discovered that it's important to take every thought captive and bring those same thoughts to the subjection of God's power.
You're power word:
We break down every thought and proud thing that puts itself up against the wisdom of God. We take hold of every thought and make it obey Christ.
YOU'RE A MIRACLE! LIVE LIFE ON PURPOSE.
There are two things I believe we truly have control of.
1. Your decision and 2. Your reaction.
Few questions for us to ponder during our today’s episode.
What decision are you currently making for yourself during these times? Are they productive? And How are you reacting to the noise around you? Have you easily led astray or are you developing a critical thinker mindset?
The noise in our world is louder now than ever before, it's easy to fall in the valley of mediocre thinking. Remember, big vision requires the same action efforts, which in result thinking small also requires the same as well but most definitely not vice versa.
Don't wait for life to change. Now is your opportunity to reevaluate your relationship circle, abandoning the time-wasting associations we indulge in, with the intention of staying sturdy during this season of growth, personal and mental development. Making a conscious decision to embrace this development process with passion, knowing that a learning curve transition will be required from our bondage thoughts. And if we don't, life will wipe you until we start indulging in learning something new.
Failure and disappointment will also accompany us on our transformational journey, but you have to keep moving forward. Stay strong in your mind as you transition through all challenges. Keep nourishing your dreams with a learn from your mistakes mindset, our failures will seem substantially smaller once we’ve accomplished our desired goal.
In Proverbs 4:6-7, the Author Solomon. Compares seeking God’s wisdom as to an individual seeking a companion. It reads:
Do not forsake her, and she will keep you; love her, and she will guard you. The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom, and whatever you get, get insight.
Don't complain when the days are hard, remind yourself of your goals and live life with God's wisdom as your guide and compass.
Did you live your life, when you had the opportunity to live?
Stop and self reflect on how you're living. Don’t live for the approval of others.
YOU'RE A MIRACLE! LIVE LIFE ON PURPOSE.
Stay in your zone. You will make it if you don't give up. Yes, in these times there’s a possibility our view of the future might be skewed or unmotivated to progress though all our current challenges. Hold strong, because your dreams are worth the transformation and the growth through all your darkest days. Your core values also work cohesively with your dreams because nothing that’s worthwhile is easy.
Preserve and stay vigilant. Stop using words like these. We’ve always done it this way! This can cause both a detrimental and stagnant mindset. Look at things from different angles, experiment, and try all options. Your dreams can most definitely become a reality if you don't let go or allow others to influence you with their non-productive ideas and thoughts.
In Matthew 5:15 the author Mathew shares God’s views and perception of us. He explains that God has called us to be different. To stand out against the grain, because you’re a city on the hilltop. This is powerful because God’s opinion and thoughts of you should demolish, dismantle, and guard your mind against anything that’s not in alignment with His thoughts. You’re here to add value, rebuild hope, and instill change.
Continue to strive towards your goal. With your daily practices in meditation for sound mindfulness, you’ll continue to see blessings flow your way because God has your back. Don’t give in to the lies or negative thoughts that can disguise itself if you’re not vigilant and focused. Now is the time to revisit your goals and your vision. With the intent in building momentum towards a step by step, day by day systematic plan for optimal accomplishment. Which in result will yield the success of your goals if you don’t quit?
YOU'RE A MIRACLE! LIVE LIFE ON PURPOSE.
Episode Title: Raise your identity.
While on our journey towards raising our identity and advancing through each challenge. It's important to remember that true freedom comes when you’ve decided and accepted that no one owes you anything, because you're moving towards your future goals each day. Of course, we’re aware that this journey will not be smooth or obstacle-free. But this journey will elevate you above your past.
Continued to proactively progress through your life's restoration journey. Let's remain thankful. Having the awareness that each daily discipline habits will produce freedom from being lackadaisical to a successful discipline towards perfection. With a steadfast attitude to learning from all life experiences, while gradually relinquishing the unwanted thoughts about yourself.
Robert Greene once said: Do not leave your reputation to chance or gossip, it’s your life’s artwork. And you must craft it, hone it, and display it with the care of an artist.
It’s usually at our worst moment when a clear but concise decision is made to grow. Because each unforeseeable difficulty will not last forever, they're the only temporary
Power word: Proverbs 22:1 A good name is more desirable than great wealth. Respect is better than silver or gold.
You’re not only an overcomer but also someone who possesses, in my opinion, the most essential quality to success of any kind, which is perseverance. View each day as a new page in your novel, observe and stencil with care on those pages. Because each of life’s daily entry leaves a copy of our reputation.
YOU'RE A MIRACLE! LIVE LIFE ON PURPOSE.
What do you think could be the stimulus for growth?
For us to grow! We must sometimes experience and go through some discomfort added to stressful situations. Which are our stimulus for exponential personal growth? Growth will in result force us out of our comfort zone, by pushing us towards new horizons of awkwardness where we’ll encounter a transformation from our old thoughts.
Our journey through challenges isn’t designed to break us or even manifest any form of a defeated spirit. But it is completely contrary, with your daily efforts to achieve mindfulness. Through small systematic steps by controlling what takes root in our minds. You’ll start noticing fruits of both strength and resilience on full display from your efforts to grow through each difficulty. And of course, as we embrace this new process of improvement and growth. It puts us on the offense with a not easily broken spirit.
Hold fast to your self-esteem in having confidence that you are who God says you are. It’s not dependent on my own abilities (because those can be so unreliable!), but instead of knowing that God will equip me for the work, He has set out for me to do.
Power word:
Psalm 27:3 Though an army besieges me, my heart will not fear, though a war breaks out against me, even then I will be confident. Even in those moments when people (or even your own thoughts!) are coming at you with weapons ready to attack, your heart doesn’t have to respond in fear.
Even (and especially) then, you can be confident. You are a child of God and nothing can overtake you.
Trust yourself and your judgments. Don't give in to the lies, that you’ve tried so hard, but you’re not good enough. We’ll not always have all the answers to be confident. And the old adage, “fake it until you make it” is not even necessary in building true confidence.
Instead here are three tips to build your confidence within from one of my mentors Robert Kiyosaki:
- Base your confidence in the knowledge that you can find the answers you need.
- Ground your confidence in the knowledge that you are working towards a noble purpose - fulfilling your unique purpose in life.
- As you focus on working towards your goals you will gain wisdom and experience, and this will increase your confidence even more.
With this increased confidence you’ll be enabled to tackle the next challenge in your life. With the attitude that everything will work out for your best.
You are more than enough, but don’t take my word for it.
YOU'RE A MIRACLE! LIVE LIFE ON PURPOSE.
Direct words of encouragement from one of my mentors Robert Kiyosaki.
Our power word:
Proverbs 12:25
Anxiety weighs down the heart, but a kind word cheers it up.
Cheer yourself up today with positive words of affirmations.
Are you stuck waiting to get “clear” about what you need to do? The remedy for this is to commit to your end goal, then start working towards it.
When you truly commit to something, your mind shifts, you see opportunities where you did not before, and circumstances conspire to help you. As you keep taking action and see the results of your actions, you will gain better clarity as to how to accomplish your goal.
Although you may need to adjust or abandon particular strategies and tactics that don’t end up leading you where you wanted, never give up on your ultimate goal.
Big dreams are inspiring and worth pursuing. The more you take action toward your goal and observe the results, the more clarity you will gain as you move forward.
Power word:
“Clarity comes after a commitment has been made.” – Ellie Drake
Take a moment to think about who and what makes you feel happy and energized. Then think about who and what drags you down and makes you feel deflated. Write out a list for both. It might include family members, friends, co-workers, going to certain events, what you watch on TV, etc. Sometimes the same person or experience will be on both lists.
This challenge will tell you the sources of the positive and negative energy you are getting from your current surroundings. The next step is to figure out how you will reduce or eliminate the negative sources and how you will spend more time with positive influences.
You can also add inspiration to your life in little ways by using affirmation statements, listening to self-improvement audiobooks, and posting inspirational messages and notes about your goals around your house.
Don’t stop believing in yourself. It’s easy to lose hope from experiencing a variety of daunting issues and challenges in these uncertain times. Again, continue to reflect on your vision, along with your goals. Which will enable your momentum of forwarding progress even when it seems gargantuan? With the intent of not allowing others with less vision than yours to infiltrate your progress of achieving your daily goals.
The discipline of preparing your mind daily still requires us to pay attention to details. The details in doing the little things well, like for instance. “ making a conscious effort first thing in the morning to update our mind with both fresh positive and health data. And also filtering our thoughts while maneuvering our day from toxic information. By re-engaging your list of goals, this helps you formulate a sound plan of action. A plan that’s broken down into small action steps, which in return can produce the fruit of consistency. Again, be reminded to run your own race. Here at full joy studios, we’re a true believer that each human is placed on this earth for something profound and unique that’s only specified to that individual's skill set.
Albert Einstein once said, “Nothing happens until something moves.”
Stop viewing your disappointments, heartbreaks, failures, or bad news as losses. Instead see them for what they truly are: character and leadership development. Especially at this present time when we’re steering towards uncertainty, hopelessness, job loss and the list could go on and on. That's where both our forward-thinking and an unwavering faith foundation that God will take care of us.
Power word:
1 Corinthians 9:24
Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win.
Run your race of life within your own lane, with the passion and excitement that you’ll win if you're not too occupied observing some else's life's journey.
Few questions for you to think about.
-
Are you a great listener?
-
Are you purposeful in asking questions?
-
Are you genuinely intrigued to hear what others have to say when engaged in a conversation?
One of my mentors once said. Whoever is asking the questions is in command of the conversation!
By asking more questions it instantly forces us to listen attentively, which in result transfers a genuine vibe of compassion to the receiving candidate. We’re all wired with different ways to retain and convey information. Listening is still one of the most important and applicable steps toward learning or archiving information.
And by taking a willingness to listen more and talkless approaches to each day, it not only brightens someone's day. But it also adds additional encouragement, with a splash of compassion as well. and of course, you'll be encouraged within the process. Imagine everyone taking a conscious effort to be quick to listeners and slow to speak. We'd most definitely notice tensions or angered disagreements de-escalate on our daily journey.
Your power word:
My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry. James 1:19 | NIV
YOU'RE A MIRACLE! LIVE LIFE ON PURPOSE.
A majority of us listening can associate greatly with this statement from either our parents, grandparents, or someone of influence in our life. “Show me your five closest friends and I'll tell you who you are”.
It is important that we make a conscious decision in choosing our friends carefully. Taking the due diligence approach in selecting your friends can alleviate the additional troubles in having someone who will bring you down.
Booker T. Washington once said:
“Associate yourself with people of good quality, for it is better to be alone than in bad company.” Booker T. Washington
Wise friends will find opportunities to build you up positively, they’ll also look for ways to help, and actively offer sound words of wisdom. Obviously we have to stay alert to the symptoms to know when our friendship with another person is leading us away from our vision or God’s plans for your life.
Proverbs 13:20 and Proverbs 12:26 our power words for today's episode. It gives us practical but simplistic precautionary guidelines in selecting your mature circle of friends.
Proverbs 13:20 Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm. Proverbs 12:26 The righteous choose their friends carefully, but the way of the wicked leads them astray. We’re on a marathon and not a sprint in remodeling the way we think. And each new level of growth will demand attention to your core values through sound fundamental strictness in adjusting and changing the course of direction if a derailment occurs on our journey. Because we’re deliberately including God in our decision making. He also aids by removing bad influences from our life and substitutes them with godly friends. His pearls of wisdom also enable us to see traits or morals that are not in alignment with our values. YOU'RE A MIRACLE! LIVE LIFE ON PURPOSE.
We would like to say thank you for spending a short period of your time with us each day.
Encouraging someone to have faith is easy but actually practicing those actions definitely poses its challenges. And how we approach each situation throughout our day plays a significant role in walking by faith. In all honesty, walking by faith is difficult at times. Because of our views towards what we see can be completely different from God’s ways.
Our podcast was started for that sole reason. Which is, to help build a healthier and soulful mind through the daily renewal of our thinking and outlining ways to stay in alignment with God. Our natural human abilities are incredible. We’re able to accomplish, push through, and overcome anything. But at times the weight of this life can be heavy and unbearable, which leads to unhealthy thoughts towards yourself and others. But God’s door is also open for meditation and detoxing our minds. He brings assurance that you’ll be renewed and refreshed each time we’re intentionally spending with Him.
Mind reset quote:
Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase. – Martin Luther King, Jr Through your alone and meditation time, you’ll not only get refreshed but also feel strengthened, along with the comfort to hold firm to your faith because you're not alone in this journey of life. Your hope to overcome is concealed within your faith. It helps us each day to continue moving forward, even if that movement seems slow and uneventful. Because faith requires action. “Faith without works is dead,” we’re holding onto hope that God will take care of the heavy lifting in our life. While we continue to positively navigate throughout our days on the purpose of accomplishing our daily goals.
Power words:
James 2:26 New King James Version (NKJV) For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
Hebrews 11:1 King James Version (KJV Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Continue to walk by faith, try not to lose sight of God’s greatness because this will not only encourage you to continue pressing forward with confidence that He has your best interest in mind but also it pleases God when we have faith and applies it with action. Keep in mind that your faith walk is a lifelong journey as well. That stands on these two fundamental pillars. First, you’re running in your personal race of faith, that no one else can run for you. And secondly, what pleases God is when we truly walk by faith and not by sight, you’ll start witnessing the manifestation of both present and eternal blessings and fruits in your life.
Your faith in God will reenergize you in every situation.
There’s great potential in our pain. God still views you with the potential to achieve something great even during moments of failure. He has not changed his mind towards us and His love for us is greater than our shame or disappointments.
Napoleon once said:
Most great people have attained their greatest success just one step beyond their greatest failure.” which is our mind rest quote for today.
Enduring your trials and failure not only builds strength, but it's also developing a relentless pursuit of leadership. This leadership quality demonstrates that each layer of failure reveals areas within our life that need remodeling. Once those areas are identified, you’ll start noticing your fruits of outstanding quality flourishing.
Those qualities will flourish in an unprecedented way, which others will notice and possible praise. But because of your constant discipline towards personal improvement. The opinions or approval of others won’t be your driving force towards advancement. You're an individual of high integrity, who’s on the journey of being that same person all the time. This gives you the opportunity to create your own scorecard for all that matters to you and not others.
Embracing failure puts you at the forefront of your destiny. If you're open in learning from your mistakes and keeping a telescopic view in moving forward. With determination and heart, your failure will lead to success.
But it's easy to quit or not even trying to get back to your feet when you've been knocked down. And that attitude is what's considered a true failure. Considering how close you could have been to a breakthrough, but you've convinced yourself that it is not going to work.
Power word:
Psalm 40:2-3 He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the Lord.
We’ll continue reminding you that God is always near and if we fall He’ll pick us up and dust us off. With the intention and love to pull us out of the pits of failure. You’re a Queen or King traveling through this earth. Be bold and confident as you embrace failure with your faith in God as your energizer in every situation.
Mind reset quote:
There’s no time like the present, no better day than today, or no righter time than right now. Richard Branson
Having a sense of urgency toward your goals isn't bad. We are only here for a flicker. And a conscious decision to pursue your definition of success will take consistency and awareness that failing is an applicable avenue towards success.
No time like the present.
You might be having trouble manifesting. Not because you’re doing something wrong. But it completely depends on how you’re feeling right now. We all desire much in life but at times don’t think and trust that it’s available to us.
Even your goals can fall victim to that form of thinking, where you can convince yourself that they’re not attainable. Every individual desires some form of success but it’s easy to surrender both our passions and the drive to pursue those dreams to the fear of judgment from others. By having the misconception that success must be preceded by perfection.
What’s sabotaging your manifesting is your current truth. Which is most definitely different from God's truth towards us. Your truth at times can be biased and based on your experiences and perceptions. Which is still a valid truth for you and the universe delivers to you based on your truth.
Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom. Ecclesiastes 9:10
What steps can you take to shift things in your favor?
First, declare to your truth about yourself that it as worn out it’s welcome. Adjusting the thoughts about yourself and start healing your heart.
Second, don't ignore your feelings but also start the process of eliminating the unwanted truths about you. Which typically is not an overnight change. But it doesn’t have to take forever either.
Thirdly, turn your truth into a lie. Because God’s limitless blessing usually won't get delivered base on a lie. Your internal truths must shift in order for your external reality to shift.
All that you desire is truly available to us. All the goals that you’ve set are most definitely attainable to you. Your success does not require perfection. Just continue making the most of each day, no time like the present.
You deserve to achieve your goals and you no it as well. You’re actually the only one who gets to determine that.
YOU'RE A MIRACLE! LIVE LIFE ON PURPOSE.
Deep down within the core of our genetic foundations are exceptional traits with the potential to positively change your world.
In the height of injustice, racism, world health crisis and our own personal challenges each day. Those core traits like for instance, courage, tenacity, persistence, faith, and joy. Just to name a few can experience tremors at times in the form of either thinking of giving up or feeling exhausted from all the daily issues we endure.
Which in result can mushroom the views of our situations? Clouding our decision making or even partially succumbing to the lies of the adversary that things will not get better or you’ll never make it.
Our mindset quote comes from Winston Churchill, who said. Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm.
Yes, it can be a lot to navigate through each day. And Feeling the symptoms of tiredness or a dash of frustration at times is completely normal. But hope anyway- reinforce your strength with concrete veracity that God will not abandon you. He wants to help with every bother, frustration, and anything else we confront.
Because God knows everyone gets tired and exhausted at some point in life. Which is why taking the opportunity to rest is critical. And to be clear resting is most definitely not a form of weakness within our world mentality of go, go, go, win, win, win.
Power word: Isaiah 40:30-31 “Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” HE will renew you. Don't lose HOPE!

Mind rest quote:
“When you believe in your dream and your vision, then it begins to attract its own resources. No one was born to be a failure.”— Myles Munroe
Stop worrying or wondering what others might think of you. Your destiny and purpose have already been preordained by God. Now staying in your lane doesn't mean, you don't have compassion for others or stop caring either. It's not you locking yourself away from society and the world at large or infusing yourself with arrogance and pride to become self-center.
But it's the opposite. Staying in your lane means: first, you must continue tending to the discipline of loving who you are and to boldly speak highly of yourself each day. Understanding that each difficulty is refining within you a leader, a mentor, a community activist and the list goes on and on. You’re not a failure. I repeat you are not a failure. You’re an individual that's been placed on this earth to bring about impactful and significant changes. The last time I checked, God said, not your friends, not your teacher, not your co-worker or even your parents. But God said: You are a chosen generation,( He loved us before we ever had a thought about loving Him) a royal priesthood,( A lineage of royalty but also one that’s already a chosen leader) hence the word. Priesthood. a holy nation, ( was seen beyond our faults, our mess-ups, and even our failures but to be chosen as a beacon of hope. A peculiar people. ( Different from those around you, like for instance choosing to forgive the unforgivable, chosen to love the unlovable and reflecting deeply rooted pure values.)
Don't get lost fantasizing or gazing at someone else's life, to the point you start discrediting your own life. Stay in your lane. Not everyone is going in the same direction as yourself. In difficult times, or even when going through life’s mundane situations. It's at times hard to comprehend or imagine that God still cares for little you.
Ephesians 2:10 New International Version (NIV)
For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.
Let's stand with the confidence that what every other might think or say, our future and destiny was already set in motion before the existence of time by your loving heavenly father.

Take refuge!
Right at this present moment, you might be asking, where did we go wrong? or please I can't take any more tragic news.
And just when it seemed like things might be improving within our COVID world. Safely trying to navigate our way through each phase of reopening the economy, we got hit with a tragic, senseless, and evil curveball.
A senseless and evil act from another police officer just swung the pendulum further away from together we are one. Which can also bring about this question, where are you God when my world is falling apart?
If you're feeling like the walls are caving in, don't fix your attention on the walls but lookup for that's where your help will come. Holding firm to the truth that nothing or nobody is greater than God, retreating to His characteristics will help to reestablish hope and strength beyond yourself.
Psalm 46 God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. He will be our shelter and strength, can always count on HIm in every season. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth gives way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea. We’re on a transformation journey, by renewing our minds. Let us continue to stay focused by keeping a higher view of God at all times. Even in the midst of crisis, this high view brings hope that our troubles and difficulties will not have the last word. God as the last word.
Stay vigilant towards your consistency of growth. Because our adversary would rather each individual have a low view of God, which in result glorifies our troubles and crisis.
Today, even in the midst of evil or hate. Please be reminded that God says I am with you. These four words are like a safety net, protecting us from falling into hopelessness. We’ll always have the mood swings from being up one day to down the next, which is a part of being human.
But God has promise limits to how far down we’ll go because we're holding fast to hispromises and staying within His presence.
With all that occurring in our world today, it's quite easy for us to come to the conclusion that our world might just be completely evil. Or things will never change, and that I would respectfully say that's not an accurate assessment.
Yes, evil exists. And, I would be naive to not acknowledging that. But the good(light) also exists, and from all my life experiences and evaluation. Good can always diminish evil(darkness) when acted on lovingly.
Power word:
Salt and Light Matthew 5:13-16 New International Version (NIV) “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.
“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead, they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
There are so many questions and I sure don't have all the answers but through faith and belief, I know God is still in control and also has the ability in healing our land.
Everyone has a part to play in making our world better, we have the ability to either brighten someone’s day by making that person feel special or the complete opposite.
This is not the time to bury your light or to hide. We can see that it's needed more now than ever before.
So how can we positively affect change? 1. Praying for peace. 2. Practicing loving one another even when it's hard. 3. Keep pushing for both Change and justice. 4. And walk in the authority that God is for you, He loves you and He will both protect and strengthen you.
“Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness. ”
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Martin Luther King, Jr.

God has not counted you out.
Power word:
New King James Version
Then the LORD answered me and said: “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. Habakkuk 2:2
Zeal is defined as great energy or enthusiasm in pursuit of a cause or an objective.
Will you be the same or different entering our new normal? Were you able to set new goals? And, what the one thing you’ve learned about yourself during this season.
Here at Full Joy, we’ll always encourage you to keep moving forward. Is it easy to have energy or enthusiasm when you’re experiencing various different challenges during this season?
Writing down your vision and making it plain is very important. This will continue encouraging you when you're feeling discouraged. Having your goals simple but attainable is also an added value in achieving because you're able to celebrate the small victories along the way.
In these times the world can seem even louder than before with uncertain news circulating all around, but you're stronger than you give yourself credit. God didn't bring you this far to leave you. And, yes. It can get hard but God is not far from you. Keep your intentionality and vigilance in staying true to your vision and values.
Cultivation is a process that takes time and patience. Which are important parts to hold fast to on our current journey. Let's continue cultivating our minds by keeping our thoughts fixed on God's vision for our life while guarding who or what we’re listening to.
We know headphones are convenient pieces of electronics, that helps us to stay on task by dampening the outside noise. (whatever is transmitting usually keeps us focused) and adopting that same concept by staying focused and not allowing the issues of today's causes you to lose grip of your values and goals. Developing a renewed mind each day dampens the non-productive thoughts and allows opportunities for us to hoon in on our joy that our future will be great.
Power word:
Mark 4:24 English Standard Version (ESV)
And he said to them, “Pay attention to what you hear: with the measure you use, it will be measured to you, and still more will be added to you.
You're leveling up each day as you stay purposeful in developing your gifts, you’ll start having ideas of how you can use your gifts to add value to our world.
God has placed with you a spirit of leadership. And you’re destined for greatness. Let's continue quieting all thoughts that are not encouraging by focusing on how encouraging, positive, enthusiastic, and strong you are.
YOU'RE A MIRACLE! LIVE LIFE ON PURPOSE.
Our attitude is such an important piece in having an extraordinary life.
Here are a few questions to ponder within today’s episode.
Do you think you're destined for greatness? If yes how do you know? And how do you evaluate yours on the right path?
Mind reset quote
Greatness is not my destiny but it's a decision I have to make in order to become great. We are not entitled or have the right, but with a decision I can achieve the highest amount of success. Dr. Myles Monroe
Now of course success is different from each individual. We are driven by different motivations but one constant remain and it's in the decisions we make, which accompanies attitude.
Our attitude towards situations can either create visions for new horizons or stunt your growth into unbelief. The principles of success are warped in a small package labeled attitude and decisions, again our mindset and thoughts about ourselves are pillars in having a victorious life.
Imagine an artist getting ready to paint a masterpiece. Him, having a progressive attitude towards his unfinished product is already a concrete visual in his mind. Which was solidified by him making a decision to paint? It's almost the same within us, our attitude towards life, and situations we experience is like a paintbrush of our minds. And the picture or outcome we’d like to participate in is determined by our decisions.
Power words:
Proverbs 15:13
A joyful heart makes a cheerful face,
But when the heart is sad, the spirit is broken.
Proverbs 17:22
A joyful heart is good medicine,
But a broken spirit dries up the bones.
Having the right attitude each day can either make or break your day. While God sets our day for what we’ll face, it's up to us each day in deciding what attitude we’ll navigate life with. Today, practice having a selective mindset, that focuses on good things and God’s thoughts towards you. Also decide that your attitude today will be great and appreciative of all that you're currently blessed with. The more you appreciate what God has blessed you with, the more you’ll find to appreciate. I truly believe that having a great attitude is not in the power of someone else but yourself, don’t give that power over or have them take it away.
YOU"RE A MIRACLE! LIVE LIFE ON PURPOSE.
Today walk with the ambition that God has already prepared your day.
Power word:
Matthew 5:16 King James Version (KJV)
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
You are blessed and God has an abundance of blessings for you. At times confusion can invade our minds, with the illusion that God’s blessing is actually our doing. And yes, your hard work has not gone unnoticed, and being proud of your accomplishments isn't wrong.
God intends that all individuals fulfill their Aim here on earth, but allowing the accolades and praises of others to overshadow God’s favor, puts us in a vicious cycle of trying to please people. Which in the end can lead to the occasional dead end of loneliness? This can also rob us of God’s unmerited favor. And that's not what God wants.
We’re not foolish to our adversary devices, but he would most definitely desire that we stay away from redirecting any acknowledgments or credits we’ve received from others back to God because that would subdue the pride on the inside and give way to humility.
And if pride or any other selfish ambition can take precedence in our life then that will overshadow all that God wants to do in and through us. Now our life’s journey becomes all about us.
He’ll also replenish your joy and reassure hope for a bright future.
Today walk with the ambition that God has already prepared your day.
And all that is required from us is to keep our mind fixed on what his thoughts are about us and send all the credit back to Him.
For example: Thank you, but to God be the glory.
With this we recognize that He’s our guide and way maker. Allow room for additional blessings.
YOU'RE A MIRACLE! LIVE LIFE ON PURPOSE.
No one is immune to trouble or unwanted events, but being keen as to what we’re saying or declaring within our minds plays a significant role in how we react after experiencing trouble.
When trouble comes.
God understands that there will be moments along this journey of growth and renewing our minds. That the trouble we encounter can irrupt a large amount of frustration and anger. He’s also aware you’ll probably question over and over again if you're actually on the right path.
This is why guarding your mind with His words is so crucial, it's not only being happy and positive but also giving those unwanted thoughts a commanding eviction with God’s authority and immediately remembering his thoughts towards you.
We’ve said this before and will continue proclaiming that there are life and death in our tongue. And each day God is beseeching us to speak life, even when the situation seems impossible.
Proverbs 21:23
He who guards his mouth and his tongue,
Guards his soul against troubles.
Speaking thoughts like for instance:
1. Yes, I’m in the valley but I know that nothing that I’m currently facing will be too much for me.
2. God has given me the knowledge and wisdom to overcome any obstacle.
3.I’m equipped with the stamina and strength to outlast every challenge.
4. And, to have the awareness that each situation is increasing my fortitude in staying composed and in control. Which gives room for extraordinary growth on the other side of each challenge.
Let's continue to keep watch over our words and tongue. The usual saying is that practice makes perfect but today we’re changing to practice and making improvements. With an open mind that there’s always room to improve, invites both a progressive and purposeful mindset.

A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable but more useful than a life spent doing nothing. George Bernard Shaw
Are we learning from our mistakes?
I believe that there’s always a lesson to learn from all the troubles we encounter. Think about how resilient the human spirit is, the ability to rise, to be creative, to be a visionary, and even an influencer. Are a few hardwired abilities embedded in us from birth, but somewhere on the journey of life we lost our youthfulness to see challenges as opportunities to grow.
Power Word:
“But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.” 1 Peter 2:9.

You're Holy, Royal, Chosen, and called into God's Light.
YOU'RE A MIRACLE. LIVE LIFE ON PURPOSE.
Power word:
Romans 8:31
What can we say about all these things? Since God is for us, who can be against us?
Notice the first question in our power word. What can we say about all these things? And honestly; there’s a lot that can be said about these things, (for example: why can’t I catch a break, what am I going to do now, what’s going on in the world, Why is this happening to me. Just to name a few, but the list goes on.
These things per se can accompany an overwhelming amount of thoughts which if not monitored closely could result in a less optimistic view of the future.
So how do we stay strong, when our present situation displays something different.
Well, in reality our world is not perfect. And God gave instructions that we would face various different challenges in this life. But He also encouraged and promised that nothing we encounter now or in further in future is greater than Him.
He’ll make you stronger, give clear insight on how to handle tough situations, and meet us right where we are. God is saying right now, keep moving forward because He’s has your back and your future is bright.

Daily actions of faith towards your goals, can instantly demolish procrastination. But a considerable amount of self-discipline is required to maintain an unshakable direction.
Power words
Ephesians 5:15 New International Version (NIV)
Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise,
Ephesians 5:16 New International Version (NIV)
making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.
It's easy to sit back at times and say; things should have gone this way, that should have changed, or even I wish I'd seen that coming. Which in examining those statements closely, would conclude as potentially good assessments to ask.
But the bigger question is; Will reminiscing of past events motivate you in taking action towards your goals?
God encourages us to not only be wise but also to make the best of each situation. And He knows each day will present its own detours and unique circumstances, which he will give ways to navigate if we continue including Him on our lives journey.
But sitting around expecting change, yet doing nothing towards change. Increase the chances of being subdued by procrastination. On the other hand, that burning desire to be somebody in this world and to positively impact Could be considered as a received promptly to reclaim your mind, to re-envision your goals, and also a reminder that you’re called to do something significant in our world.

Your power word:
“Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with lovingkindness, I have drawn you” (Jeremiah 31:3).
Despite our failures and disappointments, it is with conviction and a considerable deal of hope that we’ll realize God’s purpose for our life. Don't surrender your future goals.
Your value comes from being created in the image of God and arming yourself with this truth. Germinate a seed of infinite worth within you, that your worth doesn't need any external validation. You're already valuable to God, whether others acknowledge it or not.
Try having this perspective during these uncertain times and beyond. Think of yourself as a successful fortune 500 company, that’s currently experiencing some unforeseen challenges.
What’s the first thing you’d do?
Now each answer will most definitely vary from person to person. But I'm going to take a lucky guess and say. You’d probably consult previous past circumstances for guidance. And I’m confident from your evaluation you’d find archives of successful stories and you not losing heart as well.
YOU'RE A MIRACLE. LIVE LIFE ON PURPOSE!
What can separate you from God's love? NOTHING
Our hope for today’s show is that you’ll be reminded of how valuable and important you are to God and how much He loves you. Nothing separates that love. With God by your side, success is assured.
Power word:
Romans 8:38-39 New Life Version (NLV)
For I know that nothing can keep us from the love of God. Death cannot! Life cannot! Angels cannot! Leaders cannot! Any other power cannot! Hard things now or in the future cannot! The world above or the world below cannot! Any other living thing cannot keep us away from the love of God which is ours through Christ Jesus our Lord.
The love that God has for us is at times indescribable. Even in our weakness He still loves us, His loves beyond our flaws and sees the beauty on the inside.
David had spent adequate time with God while tending to the sheep, they're his faith was strengthened and assurance in God to overcome any obstacle or giant. Even when opposide by a 6ft tall giant, David stayed steadfast in all that he learned about God's love and protection. Engaged in a battle with the giant, knowing he was not along and success was assured through God's strength.
Once you are willing to allow God's help, nothing can separate you from His love. And I mean Nothing.

Mind reset quote:
One of the difficulties we face in our industrialized age is that we’ve lost our sense of seasons. Unlike the farmer whose priorities change with the seasons, we have become impervious to the natural rhythm of life—and we have our priorities out of balance as a result.
For a farmer, springtime is his most active time. It’s then when he must work around the clock, up before the sun, and still toiling at the stroke of midnight. He must keep his equipment running at full capacity because he has but a small window of time for the planting of his crop. When winter comes, there is less for him to do to keep him busy. Jim Rohn
Learn to use the seasons of life.
Power word:
Galatians 6:5 English Standard Version (ESV)
For each will have to bear his own load.
God has placed in each human an innate ability to solve problems, but once your focus is shifted from solutions to blame then we’ve deactivated the clarity.
I agree that at times things happen to us that's not fear. This is why having a students mindset is so valuable in achieving victory over life's defeats. With a student mindset, it helps you to look for solutions or what can I do next time to prevent this from happening again. It also helps you to see each defeat or knockdown as an opportunity to learn and grow.
It's with caution that I say this. If we’re seeing others as the problem or to be blamed, this results in you having to change that person. Which is not our responsibility. But if we take a look in the mirror and focus our attention on developing ourselves daily. Now we’ve immediately shifted our focus from blame to growth and personal development.
Here are a few steps in arming yourself from blaming others.
- Continue raising your personal value.
Meaning: Continue to make an effort to spend some quality time with God each day, which in result, reinforces your new thoughts, and builds confidence in God’s authority to rise above troubles.
2.Keep a high priority on reimbursing trust with excellence in whatever you do.
Let us stop playing the blame game and start taking responsibility for our mental and personal development.

Instead, God chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise. And he chose things that are powerless to shame those who are powerful.
While on this adventurous journey to transform ourselves throughout this new season post-COVID 19. A continual proactive approach in letting go of our old thinking and view of the world will require giving something up to God in order to get something back from God.
Having the courage and bravery to give something up to God will take unwavering faith. He promises to bless us with something new. But there are times God will test us to make sure the blessings or gifts don't become more important than the gift giver.
Little things like for instance:
- Having the focus on what’s right with God then what’s wrong with our life.
- Reminding yourself how faithful your heavenly father is, even though unstable times.
- Might sound cliche-ish but be reminded that God will fight what we cannot see by sending help that we cannot see.
- He’ll also dispatch an ambush against whatever darkness that tries to attack us.
Don't seek answers but continue seeking God. The answers will seek you. Live life on purpose.

Time spent with God helps to drive out fear or any other non-progressive thought of yourself. It builds confidence in God’s grace and power knows no limit and our circumstance can’t prevail.

Remember that God wants you to live towards his vision for your life. But our greatest threat, in living a purposeful life is our past.
Discovering God’s purpose for your life takes focus and faith. Which in doing this will remind our trials how little they are compared to Him?
We know revision means: going back and looking at something you’ve already done.
Every day's a new beginning, God has already made arrangements to deal with our past. Meaning our focus should be on walking in our purpose, His love towards us is so great that He’s already made arrangements so our future could be possible.
Keep this in mind: Anything that happens to you in life that’s not God’s best-its a temporary detour. Don’t get stuck, keeping pressing forward with God as your guide.
LIVE LIFE ON PURPOSE!
Light is used to symbolize God, faith, or holiness throughout scripture.
Power word.

Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are healthy, your whole body also is full of light. But when they are unhealthy, your body also is full of darkness. 35 See to it, then, that the light within you is not darkness.
We cannot make things grow. All we need to do is plant and water. But if we plant and water, God promises to increase.
What are you planting and watering within your minds? also your body?

Your goals are going to take time to achieve. Time will come when you feel like quitting is a better option. Times when you feel like it's pointless to keep going, and times when you wonder if you're on the right path.
But this is where you have to be careful and stay cautious about who’s investing in your life, careful of what images you're holding on to of yourself, careful of thoughts you're thinking, and careful of things that can easily steal your focus.
God knows you're capable of greatness. And putting your trust in Him has given you access to His power and authority to proclaim courage and His unbeaten future over your life.
Be careful. LIVE LIFE ON PURPOSE.
God does not want us to be in doubt of his presence in our daily life. Our struggles are always a part of his plan no matter how bad they seem. To keep a happy mind, you can always turn to scripture.
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Deuteronomy 31:8
Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor abandon you.”
This is not the time to give up or revert back to the old ways. God wants to show you how great his plans are for your life if you’ll allow him.
Now the two main ingredients needed in living a life that's directed to God are Faith and Belief.
Power words:
Psalm 118:24 New King James Version (NKJV) This is the day the Lord has made;

Don’t wait for your life to change, but accept that everything that you're experiencing right now is shaping you into the person who you are today, it’s also helping you to become someone who has an unstoppable and relentless desire to overcome challenges.
Whenever you find yourself in a non-inspiring situation, just stop for a moment and remind yourself that your joy is important.
Declare to yourself:I’m grateful that God has given me this new day, I will rejoice and not complain.
With this perspective, you’ll find your joy renewed as we continue to rejoice in every situation which takes practice and patience.
With a clear focus on God's destination for your life. It's imperative that our joy stays congruent with His promises.
With God’s presence infused in you, you're like a plant with distinct sweetness, that will eventually start flourishing with fruits of God’s love.

Not every difficult situation or even confrontation warrants a response. God is saying don't engage in every battle.
I believe you’ve been chosen by God, to accomplish something great in this season. And with a deeper trust in God. He promises to keep you safe and help us along this journey of life. Don't engage in distractions, stay focused, and keep your eyes on what God has promised you. So, start dreaming again, with excitement that your future will be exceptional through God's grace.
If you continue trusting Him he will rock your world with blessings and an immense amount of wisdom as we navigate these challenges of life.
Don't engage! LIVE LIFE ON PURPOSE
Even when times are rough and you are in "deep waters" God will be right by your side, leading and guiding you through your worst.
When you're chosen, its a possibility that you'll be broken. Not for discouragement but for transformation. What if in this situation He's trying to reveal what great things are in the inside of you.
Think about all the great gifts that are lying dormant on the inside of you. Maybe the process of being broken is to reveal or disclose all the hidden gifts you possess.
Removing the old and bringing forth great things.
LIVE LIFE ON PURPOSE.
While on this life journey with God, He'll continue changing our thoughts and also our outlook on life.
God desire to brighten your present and future. By helping you to relinquish your past hurts and mistakes. With your trust in Him, He'll continue leading your path towards peace and joy. But this will also take some work on our part.
Forgetting the past and focusing our attention on elevating each day, this will allow us to shine and persevere through all life's challenges.
Your identity is not linked to your past. Allow God to help you in changing your identity.
He will sustain us. This is why God has promised to give us a river in the desert. When we lose hope and feel like we’ve lost our way, God offers to give us rest and restoration along the way. Then when we are refreshed we can continue the journey.
He will sustain us.

We had the opportunity to visit Daniel in Babylon. There we got insights on staying focus and steadfast through difficult times. Daniel was thrown into the lion's den for not following king Darius decree, to worship or prayed to no other god but only him, King Darius. Due to Daniel's discipline, he continued with his normal routine to pray three times a day. He believed in God and followed the Lord's commands and also committed in his heart to remain steadfast in his prayer and praise to the Lord.
The story of Daniel in the lion's den teaches us about the promises and faithfulness of God, even if we feel like everything has been lost.
Even for us today, we can take tips from daniel in not straying off course in daily renewing our minds disciplines.
Power word:

Have you felt insignificant lately? Or are you feeling insignificant right now?
*Significant means: sufficiently great or important to be worthy of attention; noteworthy.*
Our Power Word:
Genesis 1:26
Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
See it’s easy to measure our value by our accomplishments, possessions, gifts, talents, or even our looks. And also I think we’ve become susceptible to our value coming from things at some point in our life.
States that you're made in the image of God. This means your significance comes from God, being that we were made in God's image.
Be reminded, you've been given infinite worth without extrinsic validation.
Having the freedom to know that you’ve been valued by God since the beginning of time. No need to perform or be controlled by either someone's opinion.
Live life on purpose. You’re significant and a miracle.
Our mind is like a garden. We can plant weeds or flowers. the weeds signify negative talk self-doubt. while the roses are positive self-affirmations.
Quote: "Today I'm on a once in a lifetime adventure. So when things go wacky, I actually feel thankful that I'm experiencing something new."
Taking time in the mornings to prepare your day can be a simple activity like for instance.
-
Take a deep breath once you awake, enjoying that process of inhaling and exhaling.
-
Be thankful that you're alive.
-
Being thankful you're in your right mind.
-
And, reassuring yourself that I thankful for this great day.
With these steps, you've prepared an expectation in your subconscious mind to attract a great day.
Live life on purpose.
What are the thoughts towards yourself? Are you speaking highly of yourself each day? and are you encouraging yourself as well?
We've mentioned that our thoughts are powerful, which results in words and then our words become actions. Having a higher consciousness one's self is a vital component of daily living, with caution towards pride.
God wants us to have self-confidence and even greater confidence in His ability to help you each day.

How to change to "Your world" by not focusing on the world!
From the creation, we've been in a relationship with God. And the enemy hated that relationship and also the choice that God gave us. To the point of him causing confusion in the garden. Which caused our relationship to be temporarily severed from God.
But even in our miss-ups, God still wanted communion with is people again. He wanted to restore that peace and harmony with us.
So He decided to use Jesus to reconcile us!
Reconcile - to restore one's relationship.
In spite of our shortcomings "SIN", we are forgiven.
