The Helper

You aren’t a Champion unless you are helping others become a Champion.

Your purpose isn’t about you; it’s about others. In order for you to be a Champion you have to be bringing others with you. A Champion will be a teacher/mentor/leader. To say it’s lonely at the top, means that you’re not at the top; you’re just alone. If you’re at the top there will be others there will you. The one’s that brought you up and the one’s you are bring up with you. A Champion isn’t afraid to reach out and help others. A Champion will teach and show what they have learned alone the way. It takes being secure in who you are to be a Champion. You’re not worried about the others being better than you because of what you have taught them. It is your purpose to make them better because of what you have taught them. Your legacy as a Champion is that you helped others become a Champion. Look around you. Are there others making the way to the top with you? It is the mark of a Champion. Are you helping others become a Champion today?

Finishing 2012 Strong

Take the time to find positive things that others are doing. Focus on their strengths and encouraging them in their gifted area.

On this the last day of 2012, keep training yourself to look for the best in others. In 2013, make it your goal to always find the good, the positive in others. See what they are good at, their strengths and then encourage them in that area. For too often it is easy to see the negative and weaknesses in other people. However, that doesn’t build them up, that doesn’t encourage them. If you really want to make a difference in others, then you will have to be different. I understand that in some people you will have to look really hard to find something good, but it is there. Chances are they have been told how useless they are, how no good they are, how no one will ever love them. With that in mind, just telling them one time that they have a purpose, they have a destiny, that God loves them; probably won’t be enough. Take the time to be a positive influence in their life. Make this coming year the greatest year ever; not only for them but yourself as well. Are you going to be a difference maker in 2013?

Christmas Spirit

12 25 10 Saturday

Merry Christmas! I pray that you have the most awesome Christmas that you have ever had in your life.  The best way to ensure that you do is to make it the best, most awesome Christmas for someone else.

There are so many folk that are miserable today.  The Christmas season does not bring them the joy that it does you and me.  Make this a great day for someone that might not be having a great day.  Not sure who that person may be? Well then make it a great day for everyone you come into contact with today. This is a habit that we should have each day of our lives.  Focus your attention on others and see your destiny become more clear each day.  Have a Merry Christmas and spread the joy!!

Getting Right

12 17 10 Friday

I have said several times how excited I am about the new year.  There are things lining up and getting into place that are going to change your and my lives forever. I am pumped about it.

We all have been through situations in this past year that have prepared us for what is coming next in our destiny.  You may have cussed those times, but they have formed and molded you into the champion that you are right now.  Never despise the tough, hard and difficult times because out of them champions are developed.  The things you been through in the past year, most folk would have lost their mind, but you have prevailed and accepted the challenges.  You are a person of destiny.  You have courage, honor, humility and persistence in you.  You are going to be in the right place, at the right time, doing the right thing, the right way, with the right folk in 2011.  Stay focused, stay on course, stay in a destiny mindset.  It is coming and coming soon! Get ready for it.  2011 is going to be far above and beyond anything you have ever dreamed of or imagined.

Your Choice

11 24 10 Wednesday

We are faced with choices everyday.  There are all sorts of decisions that we make without even thinking about.  One decision or choice we can make each day is to be an encourager to someone.

You may not have a clue as to what your gift or talent is right now.  If that is the case then be an encourager.  We all have the ability to encourage others.  Encouraging others is what makes relationships stronger.  When we focus on the positive things in others and make mention of them; then we are encouraged too.  If you find you are in need of encouragement; then go and encourage others.  What goes around does in fact come around.  We all have this untapped potential inside of us; that potential is to the best we can be at what we were created to be.  When we encourage someone; we enable them to tap into that potential.  We, too, tap into our potential when we are in encouragement mode.  It’s really not as hard as you may think it is to encourage others.  Just let them know they are appreciated and cared about.  Let them know that; ‘yes they can, do what they were created to do.  So many folk are just looking for permission to live their destiny.  Be an encourager today! Find someone in your life to give the gift of encouragement.

Honor and Sacrifice

09 24 10 Friday

Wednesday night; Melissa, Gloria and I went out to Bama Air at the Tuscaloosa Regional Airport to welcome home the Honor Flight.  We were not the only ones there by any means. I had no idea what I was in for.

We waited on the tarmac for about 1 1/2 hours for the plane bringing the WWII veterans back from Washington D.C. There were a lot of folk there, both young and old waiting just as we were.  It was hot, I was tired, had to use the bathroom and so on.  I wanted to go home!  Then the plane finally landed.  It was then that it really hit me what I was getting to see and be a part of.  These men and women were heroes.  These folk had sacrificed for me.  In the prime of their lives they were taken away from their families and sent to places they probably had never heard of before.  They were willing to give their life if necessary for me.  It’s one thing to have a mindset that they sacrificed for the USA, but the mindset of they had sacrificed for me was something totally new to me.  I was in awe of the men and women as they came by us.  The looks on their faces was something I will never forget.  I was so proud of them.  The question I kept asking myself was, ‘what am I willing to sacrifice for someone else?’ “What am I willing to give up for another person I don’t even know’? I don’t mean the stuff we don’t like, but are we willing to sacrifice something we really like, such as our freedom for others? I haven’t yet wrapped my brain around all this yet, but I am getting closer.  What are you willing to give up?

Insecurity Goals

09 23 10 Thursday

I have been listening to Zig Ziglar the past couple of days.  He is a hoot to listen to. Andy Andrews does a great Zig impression, sounds just like him.  Anyways, Zig has been talking about setting goals.

Whether or not you set goals in your life is really up to you. I do recommend that you do set some sort of goals though. They are vital to your success in your life.  The thing that really hit home with me was one key reason why we don’t set goals.  The number one reason that we don’t set goals is; insecurity. We are afraid others will find out, we are afraid others won’t approve, and most of all we are afraid of “what if don’t reach the goal; what if we fail.”  How sad it is that we don’t set goals because of our own insecurities.  I have talked a lot about insecurities in the past year or so, but never in relation to goal setting.  I am not so bothered by the fact that a lot of folk don’t set goals, but I am bothered by the fact that the number one reason is because of insecurities.   We have to stop letting insecurities steal our destiny. Insecurities are robbing us and those around us of what is rightfully your’s and theirs.  The person sitting next to you has insecurities.  What can we do to build them up, help them to overcome these destiny stealing insecurities?  Granted we can’t do it for them nor them for us, but something can be done.   We just have to decide what that something is.  Just by the fact that you are reading this blog each day or maybe for the first time ever does mean you want to do something to overcome your own insecurities and for to help those around you.  Together we can make it happen.  Enable the person next to you to feel secure in who they are and their destiny.  Together we can walk out and live our destiny.

Life Lessons

09 21 10 Tuesday

In yesterday’s Encouragement text I mentioned about developing the champion in you by bringing out the champion in others.  A concept that I sorta developed listening to some Dale Carnegie stuff.

When you have the ‘right’ to criticize someone, hurt, demean, tear down, not forgive or any other negative thing that does not mean that we have to go through with it.  Just because we think we have the ‘right’ to do it, does that really mean we have to do it? Is giving them a piece of our mind going to give them and us a peace of mind?  It will take a great deal of humility to be the stronger and better person.  Take the opportunity you have and make the most of it.  Use that chance to build them up, it make be done through correction, but done in the right way, correction can be an awesome thing.  When you have that upper hand, the high ground if you will, take that position to build them up.  Develop the character, the champion in you, by bringing out the character and champion in them.  You will get better results from you and from them.  Being negative is easy, anyone can do that, but finding something positive to work with and build on, that takes insight and maturity.  Be slow to speak and slow to anger; think before you act.  Don’t react as much as you respond.  We have many life lessons available everyday, we just need to take advantage and make use of them.  You guys are awesome and I know you can do this and even more.  Keep up the great work!

Be Love rather than Being Right

09 07 10 Tuesday

Yesterday’s Destiny Text was about let’s be love rather than being right. Really then aren’t we right; both sides may be right. When we are love then we can’t go wrong.

I have heard the best way to destroy your enemies is to make friends out of them.  This is something that I am doing my best to do.  Some folk naturally will not want to be your friend, but that does not mean we don’t extend friendship and be love.  It’s hard for folk to reject love; they may at first because of past hurts and wounds, but in time… Also, it could be because of our past of not always being a loving person.  Either way it can take some getting used to on both sides.  I think I would rather err on the side of being love and getting rejected than being the old selfish me and getting rejected.  At least this way I know I did do my best.  If we show love to everyone; then it will come back to us.  What goes around; comes around can be a good thing.  Your reap what you sow can also be a good thing.  For most of my life the results of these were always bad, but I can see some changes taking place.  I still get rejected; not everyone wants to be encouraged twice a week; at least not be me.  Not everyone wants to get this blog each day, but that’s ok. Not everyone wants to read my books, I understand.  However, let’s keep on showing love no matter what.  The results may sometimes look the same as the old way, but the change that takes place inside us will definitely be much better!

Regrets

09-01-10 Wednesday

There are days when I do feel the regrets from my past. I remember the people that I have hurt, those that are uncomfortable around me and those that simply avoid me all together now. I believe that many of you feel similar regrets in your own way.

However, when these feelings try to bring us down; we have to know that we aren’t that person any longer. If there are those that we have done wrong then, by all means, do your best to make things right. I know that some folk don’t want to make things right. In that case, forgive and ask forgiveness and move on. There is no way that my past regrets are going to hold me hostage in any way. We are to make sure that we are not being lead by our past. We have to know that we are changing and making better decisions now than we were then. Know that no one can control you by holding your past against you; unless you allow them. I don’t know your past, but I have a glimpse of your future; of your destiny. Your future is looking good. Your destiny is starting to unfold. Your past does not disqualify you from your destiny. On the contrary, it qualifies you for your destiny. You are awesome! We got issues, we all got’um, but we are working through them, not avoiding them. Today is your day to shine!

If you have questions or comments please feel free to contact me at www.scottwimberly.com or you can call or text me at 205-210-9311. Have a great day and I love you!
