  • Learn to Forgive Yourself
    By Mark Victor Hansen

     

    Many authors and speakers talk about the power of forgiveness. Forgiving others for the wrongs they have done to us is an important step for living our best life.

     

    Some people do things, consciously or not, that lead to years of pain and turmoil in the lives of others. Forgiveness allows us to deal with a situation and move past it. Dwelling on past wrongs will only stop us from living in the present and preparing an abundant future for ourselves.

"And Elisha prayed, and said, "Lord, I pray, open his eyes that he may see." Then the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha." - 2 Kings 6:17

What is wrong with you? Don't you see that big fat problem staring you right in the face? I know you are not getting ready to ignore that huge obstacle standing in your way. Don't you hear the demons from your past knocking so hard that your door just might cave in? Come on now, I know you saw that report from the doctor, didn't you?

Spirit: Invest in Yourself PDF Print E-mail

By Jeanette Moore

I love to read church and business advertisements. Crichton College in Memphis has a billboard sign that says: "Invest in Yourself." I thought this would be a good topic to write about.

 

It is important to invest in yourself spiritually, academically and financially. You can be a friend to yourself or you can be your worst enemy. You can speak prosperity into your life or you speak evil into your life. The saying "power is in the tongue" is true. Our thoughts will eventually be spoken. The words that we have pondered in our hearts will eventually be revealed. You must realize that your own words can either hinder or help you reach your goals.

Accept the things that you have no control over. Stay focused, and love yourself for the unique and wonderful person that God has made you to be. Stop focusing more on what you do not have, and spend more time on speaking good things into your spirit. You will start feeling better, and believing in yourself more. Be committed to yourself, trust what God has allowed you to become.

Building Self-esteem
The greatest foundation of having a stable life is building self-esteem.

By Jeanette Moore

Many people are hurting and feeling hopeless because they lack healthy self-esteem. We are unique and wonderfully made by God. Feelings of hopelessness and unhealthy self-esteem need to be confronted to build a better foundation.

A positive person is energetic and full of life. If you have become overwhelmed with life’s frustrations, find a picker upper. Circle yourself around positive people who will lift you up instead of tearing you down. Don't get caught up in the web of believing the negative things people say about you. Trust yourself, believe in yourself and love yourself.

Although we might be troubled from time to time, God is able to keep us from falling into the prey of unhealthy self-esteem. God wants our body, mind and soul to be healthy.

What Would You Do Today, If You Knew You Couldn't Fail? PDF Print E-mail
By DeShuna Spencer

I recently learned a lesson in an unlikely place, while watching a mediocre movie that my husband and I saw with some friends on Christmas. I specifically chose this movie because I didn't want to think; I wanted laugh and not worry about the 50-plus long to-do list that I was trying to tackle between December and January. But instead of mentally running away from my problems with a few jokes, I ended up spending half of the movie reflecting on what one character said, "What would you do today if you knew you couldn't fail."

We all will have a legacy. What that legacy will be depends on if we choose to face our dreams as if we wouldn't fail. The idea is simply, really: pursue your life goals knowing that they all will come true. What a perfect, happily ever after outcome. But as we all know, life is not perfect. Family responsibilities, limited financial resources or the lack of connections can sometimes stifle our dreams.
