You Got the Goods
You are so blessed! You are awesome! You are wonderful, more than able, you are a person of destiny.
You were born with a purpose for your life. You were created full of destiny. You have a specific gift and talent. There is something that you do that no one else in the world can do just like you do. You were born at a destined time and place to fulfill your destiny. You have all you will ever need inside of you to finish your purpose. There is no one that is not good enough to have a purpose. You are smart, capable, and just the right person to get it done. Never let anyone talk you out of your destiny. Don’t stop learning, growing, stretching out of your comfort zone. When we step out into our purpose, our destiny it can be scary, but that’s also the fun part. It is an adventure, it’s exciting, it’s like nothing else you have ever experienced. Don’t sell yourself short, don’t doubt in who you are and what God has placed in you. God will make a way where you don’t think you make it. God will open doors you never saw before. Take the first step toward your destiny and get ready for the adventure of your life.

Positive Words
Our words play a major role in determining our destiny. What you keep saying will be your focus and where you end up. Make sure you talk what your destiny in a positive way.
We need to be speaking words of affirmation, encouragement, positive, building up words. Just listen to those around you and hear what they are saying. Most people today are talking negative, self-depreciating, defeated words. They are talking about how they will never make it, never get out of debt, never be healthy, never have a good marriage. Trouble is, that is right where they end up. Just because you may be in that place right now, don’t talk it, begin to speak words of life into your situation. Say what the Word of God says about your life. Begin to see yourself healed, healthy, in a great marriage, debt free, finishing school, in a great job. Start to talk about having the life God wants you to have. Change your words, change your world. You give life to your faith with what you say. Today begin blessing your life with your words rather than cursing your life with your words. Rather than complain; start to compliment. You hear every word you say and you believe what you say about you; so make it positive, up lifting words. You will see your life go to a whole new level. Today is your day; begin speaking life!

Good as Gold
The Golden Rule tells us to ‘treat others like we want to be treated.’ Bringing it home then I must; ‘talk to others like I want to be talked to,’ ‘think about others like I want to be thought about,’ ‘help others like I want to be helped,’ ‘respect others like I want to be respected.’
We all know the Golden Rule; every major religion has it in their core beliefs. Maybe because we are so familiar with the Golden Rule we tend to pass it over too quickly. When we apply it to every area of our life there is no way we can treat others wrong. When we talk to, treat, respect, and love others like we want to be; would we still be acting the way we are today. It takes a strong, secure, and humble person to live their live according to this principle. Make it a point today to enact the Golden Rule in every aspect of your life. You will see remarkable changes immediately.

Choose Joy
Happiness isn’t just a random feeling; happiness is a choice. It’s a decision that we have to make by an act of our will. All throughout life, you’re going to have plenty of opportunities to lose your joy. We all go through disappointments. We all have times when things don’t go our way. It’s very easy to let the circumstances of life make us sour and dejected until we just go through the motions of day-to-day living. But if you’re going to live in victory, if you’re going to thrive the way God intends, you’ve got to make the decision that you’re going to enjoy your life. You’ve got to choose to be happy in spite of your circumstances, every single day.
Remember, this is the day that the Lord has made! Choose to rejoice and be glad in it! As you choose joy, you are tapping into His strength which will carry you through to victory all the days of your life!

Let It Go
Are you determined to forget what lies behind? I know many people don’t fully understand what it means to forget the past. They wonder, “How can I forget something that’s happened to me?” But one definition of the word forget is to disregard intentionally or to overlook. See, you have to intentionally disregard your past so that it doesn’t keep you from moving forward. That means the good and the bad. Sometimes our past victories keep us from rising higher as much as past failures. If we don’t let go of the old, we’ll never be able to embrace the new.
Remember, it doesn’t matter what’s happened in your history, it’s time to forget what lies behind. Make the choice today to press forward. Trust that God has a better future in store for you. Trust that He’s working behind the scenes on your behalf. As you intentionally disregard what lies behind and press forward, I believe God will pour out His favor, grace and blessing upon you and lead you into the abundance He has prepared for you.

Renewing Our Mind
So many people today are not really enjoying their lives because of the condition of their minds. They constantly dwell on negative, destructive, harmful thoughts. They don’t realize it, but the root cause of many of their problems is simply the fact that their thought life is out of control. They just dwell on any thought that comes.
More than ever, we have to understand that our lives follow our thoughts. If you think negative thoughts, then you’re going to live a negative life. If you think discouraging, hopeless thoughts, can’t-do-it thoughts, mediocre thoughts, then your life is going to go down that exact same pathway. That’s why we have to take captive every thought and renew our minds with the Word of God on a daily basis.
I want to challenge you today to think about what you’re thinking about. Don’t let those self-defeating thoughts linger in your mind. Instead, speak God’s promises over your life. Say what He says about you. Take captive every thought and renew your mind daily. As you do, you’ll be empowered to move forward into the awesome life He has for you!
