148 You Can Bounce and Not Break
We all fall, have problems, mess things up, forget our place, have bad hair days and generally mess up. The great news is, in spite of these failures, we bounce back. We don't break. It is not the end when we do wrong things. It's a do-over.
Be encouraged.
147- Our Dark Days Make Us Prove We Are Strong
Dark days happen. We fail, we miss the mark. And we find within us just how strong we really are. May you be encouraged as you listen.
146 The Person Behind the Label Sometimes, we wear lables, and sometimes, those labels are less than desirable. You are not your labels. Always remember that.
145 The Cracked Pot If you've ever felt you were full of cracks and flaws, then you'll find encouragement in today's podcast. There is usefulness in our less than desireable character traits. Be encouraged.
144 The Jump Sometimes we just have to make the jump from where were are to where we want to be. It's not always easy, but it is necessary to achieve the growth we want. Listen to this 8 Minute podcast, and be encouraged in your leaps and jumps.
143 Go Confidently In the Direction of Your Dreams We all dream. And are we moving toward our dreams or do we lack belief in our dreams? Listen to this 7m 13s podcast and be encouraged.
142 The Power of Words This is perhaps the most significant podcast I have released thus far. It is a subject I firmly believe in and practice every day of my life. If I have touched a nerve within you, that's good. Perhaps you have added your name to the list of yet another positively minded individuals who promote the power of words.
141 You're Not a Nobody Ever felt like a loser? Ever felt like you have nothing to contribute? Take heart. You are more valuable than you might think. Hope and Encouragement ahead in this letter specifically to you.
