Finding our personal strength is building our house upon the rock. True strength is being grounded and not letting whatever waves come our way take us out. We need to get to a point where reaching in and finding our strength becomes automatic but it can only become automatic when we have experience in our life that give us the opportunity to use this strength.
Have you ever thought that finding your tribe, girlfriends, or sidekick, can be gifts from God? We are not here to walk this earth alone but with others sharing experiences as we all grow in this thing called life.
Finding your tribe takes effort on your part. If you want others to share their life with you, you first have to share your life with them. Are we denying gifts from above because we struggle to receive help from others.
Being vulnerable is one of the hardest traits to learn but as we breakdown these barriers, our live can be filled with beautiful experiences filled with so much love.
How often do we give ourselves the grace to grow? How often do we do we get frustrated because we can’t figure something out? How often do we realize that if you would have known what you knew know you wouldn’t have wasted so much time?
Our lives are full of moments that can discourage us, feel shame, embarrass, feel like we are getting beaten down, but it is these moments we can use to grow the most.
God has a hard time teaching those who always want to be safe and not have courage to progress. If we are not willing to have courage to make the next step, even if it is not the right step, then we will not grow into the person he knows we can become.
When you know better you do better. God wants us to improve our mind, knowledge, spirit, body, the way we love, think, serve, and spend our time.
The process of learn, unlearn, and relearn is what helps us do better because we have learned better. This process will help us improve our thoughts and actions.
When we do this process with the spirit, we allow the spirit of the Savior to change us and our heart to transform us into the best version of ourselves.
How do we follow the spirit when we hear so many voices telling us otherwise? The spirit is your own true guide. But when we can’t figure out what is from the spirit and what is just our own thoughts then it becomes hard to follow the spirit.
How do we find peace when there is so much uncertainty. Don’t know who to believe. What cause should we be standing for? People are dividing. Civil arrest is happing between communities. Families are fighting. People's beliefs are dividing them.
All of this takes peace away from us and create one thing, FEAR.
Here are simple easy ways you can incorporate techniques to bring clarity so you can make the best decision at the moment and live a life full of peace.
Do you believe you were born for this very moment? Do you look for evidence that you are put in circumstances to bless others? Do you believe you are prepared to give service to others?
Often we need to look at our life and see how we have been prepared, listen for guidance, and have the courage to live our best life.
Becoming a leader to others is not just a title but an action. Being a leader means you are leading others to something. As a leader, you hold the responsibility to walk with others on their journey. How can we do this? How can we show leadership?
In this episode, I talk about how to build trust to lead others. I share experiences I have learned and also experienced in becoming a great leader.
The real secret is that we were all born to be leaders even if we don't have a title in front of our name. We can influence others for good in every area of our lives. By learning these steps you can be the leader you were created to be.
Do you often feel you are lost, alone and if you could just have one sign from above then you can just continue? Maybe you have signs all the time and you are not acknowledging them.
Finding out we are not in charge and that we have to go forward with faith knowing that he is there, opens our eyes to receive the Lord's hands.
How do we know what is the best choice for us? What direction do we need to go? How do we know what is best?
Your heart is your only true guide. By learning how to listen to your heart, unanswered questions can be answered. You will have more clarity and in the end, more peace.
How often can we sit back and let life happen? How often do we want to control situations? How often do we get upset when we don’t have the outcome we were hoping for? Have we ever stopped to think maybe this is exactly how it is supposed to be?
Take courage to sit back and let life play out like it needs to? We are not in the driver's seat but we are watching and learning and becoming what and who we were meant to be. Be still and know that I am God.

Life would be so much easier without any opposition. We could do whatever we needed to, accomplish all that we want, be who we wanted to be. Then why do we have opposition? Unfortunately, we learn through opposition. What holds us back? A mountain we must climb to become great!
Forgiveness frees us from the past. Forgiveness allows us to love.
Men are that they might have joy! Contentment and peace are opposite forces. Because of this, they can not reside together. In order for us to feel peace, we first must learn to forgive.
It is hard to do this on our own. We need help from above.
Forgiveness takes courage, Love, and gratitude. Courage to find the strength from within, Love towards others, and gratitude to our Savior for taking away the pain.
When we talk about our life's mission, we think that it is the exact perfect job in the exact perfect position and that we are getting paid to do what we love!
What we don’t realize is that our mission can be found in any job, any position, in any area of our life, at any moment.
I often hear from people “You found your purpose in life”. But the truth is that I found purpose in what I do. I have a desire to want to know more and be more because of what I do. You can apply this to anything that you are doing right now. Finding your purpose is living your purpose in everything you do.
How do we figure out what our purpose is?
Step one: Seek to know God's will for you.
If you sincerely desire to know God's will for you in your life, He will give you guidance. Guidance may not come in the way or at the time you expect it, but it will come.
Step two: Receive spiritual guidance for your life.
If you ask Heavenly Father what you should focus your life on, He can point you to the precise things that will be the best for you. He knows you perfectly and can direct you to do the things that will utilize your talents and bless others.
Step three: Commit to doing what Heavenly Father inspires you to do.
Once the Lord inspires you to do something, commit to doing it. Once you commit to a heaven-inspired task, the Lord will prepare the way before you.

Life is full of may wonderful things but life is also hard, sad, tragic, and, unpredictable.
Perhaps the greatest blessing which come from tragedy, is the love and appreciation we developed for our Father in Heaven. We grow and develop spiritually by what we experience.
If there were no sadness, we would not know joy; without bitterness, we would not recognize sweetness.
May we all look at God is the Gardener in our life. He is growing and molding us into what we are to become. He has never left you and he never will. Find his goodness amongst your trials and lean upon them. When hard times come, because they always will, press forward and look to see how you can bring light your light into the world.
Often we describe a miracle as:
Being healed without a full explanation by medical science or as avoiding catastrophic danger, miraculous events brought about through divine power that mortals do not understand
Miracles are when we allow and recognize God's hand in every facet of our lives whether it be big or small. Allowing faith to create our path knowing that everything is for our good.
If something is important to us then it is important to our Heavenly Father. He is ready to grant us miracles all we need to do is ask.

Walls can bring you protection from any outside harm. But these walls are not helping us grow. With these walls, we can not experience the world and learn new things.
How do we tear down these walls? Start by trusting and having faith. Become vulnerable with who you are.
It is hard to influence people when you are inside these walls. Break the walls and become the person you were meant to become.
We have 2 types of gifts, Natural Gifts, and Spiritual gifts. What is the difference?
Natural gifts are gifts you have been given that you may not have to work hard for, you have a special talent that is freely expressed. Spiritual gifts are ones you have to nurture and build upon. Spiritual gifts, when used, helps brings us and others to Christ.
When we discover what our spiritual gifts are, then it is our responsibility to use them. God has shared them with us and we can not hide from them. You have been given these gifts to help and serve his children by you not using these gifts you are not fulfilling your promises you made and you are denying others blessing you can give them.
Making every moment a blessing even when you don't want it to be. Embrace your past so you can increase your future!
Fear is the greatest thing keeping us back from creating the life we were meant to live. We have all been created to great and mighty things.
Steps to Conquering our Fear
- Meditate on what you would like to it be or do?
- Challenge your excuses.
- Educate your self
- Ask for help
- Only think one step ahead
- Except no failures only learning moments
- Show gratitude along the way
Go though your relationships and see who builds up your energy and who tares it down.
When you are around some people you want to be around them all the time. They make you feel good, feel at peace, you want to be better.
When you are around those that you struggle with, they tear you down inside. They take everything from you. You are tired afterwords.You don’t have good thoughts.
Evaluate each of your relationships and see how you need to address each of them
You are a compilation of the top 5 people you hang out with
Easy to say we don’t have to have these difficult relationships in your life, but we can’t always do this. Most of the relationships we struggle with are close family.
In these difficult relationships, something has to change and more then likely it is not going to be them. You are responsible for your own thoughts and your own actions. You need to learn to change not them.
I use the analogy of Christ walking with the sinners. Christ did not only walk with the righteous but he also walked along side of the sinners. He did not take upon the characteristics of the sinners but he was there to love, teach and show compassion. He knew there worth and he knew their potential. He knew they were a child of God. He had a deep understanding of the burdens they carried. Although he loved them dearly, he did not take on their characteristics.
So how do we do this?
-Detach yourself from the emotions you carry with this person
-No matter what they do does not affect you. Realize you are not in charge of how they act, say, do
-Create a story in your head about this person that shows love and compassion. This story can be real or completely made up. The main goal is to get to a place where you are having a feeling of love and compassion for this person and what they are experiencing.
What is the Light? It is the Light of Christ. This Light fills each of us. Everything we do in life increases or deceases this light.
When your light is increased you smile more, hug others, give to those around you, have happy thoughts, say kind words.
When the light is being diminished you shut down, don’t want to communicate, when you speak you probably not very kind, you may be hyper sensitive to everything.
Once we know what it feels like, we become in control of everything we say, do, act upon, befriend, learn, eat, and experience.
Once we know what it feels like then we can become more aware of it.
Ways to Increase the Light
-Be in nature
-Experience things as it is the first time. Example, driving in your car and noticing the beauty around you.
-Take deep breaths while moving your body slowly
I identify 5 ways we can become the leader we were all meant to become. By holding back our uniqueness, our gifts, our willingness to learn, we deprive ourselves and those we are meant to inspire.
- What do I know today that is not allowing me to know what I need to know tomorrow
- How are you playing the victim in your life
- Maximizing people strengths
- Pick one thing you are going to do everyday this week and stick to it
- What can you do today to work toward your big goal
