Successful
Success happens over a long period of time–all of a sudden.
Life is full of things that try to push us down. We all face disappointments and setbacks. Maybe you received some bad news about your health or perhaps a relationship didn’t work out. That was a setback. It’s easy to get discouraged or lose your enthusiasm or even be tempted to just settle where you are. But if we’re going to see God’s best, we have to have a “bounce back” mentality. That means when you get knocked down, you don’t stay down. You get back up again. You have to know that every time adversity comes against you, it’s a setup for a comeback! Remember, there is no challenge too difficult, no obstacle too high, no sickness, no disappointment, no person, nothing that can keep you from your God-given destiny. If you stay in faith, then God will turn what was meant to be a stumbling block into a stepping stone, and you’ll move forward in strength, full of faith and victory. God wants to see you succeed in your destiny. Do you have a success mindset today?

Correct Perspective
Obstacles, struggles, and setbacks are nothing more than a challenge for you to respond to with the right perspective.
Are you going through a difficult time today? We all experience setbacks and obstacles in this life, but don’t make the mistake of allowing those challenges to change your perspective. You can’t go around thinking that those problems are insurmountable because negative thinking will keep you messed up. Did you know that when you’re negative, you’re in agreement with the enemy? But when you have a positive attitude according to what the Word says, then you’re in agreement with God. You and God are a majority. When you agree with God, all things are possible. Today, instead of going around thinking about your problems, cast down those thoughts and start dwelling on the fact that God is on your side. Do you have the right perspective today?

No Surrender
If you let discouragement language get in your head and take over, you will abandon your purpose and surrender silently.
We’ve all been in seasons of life when we feel like things aren’t going our way, or we’re not where we want to be. In these times, it’s tempting to let discouragement and doubt come in and take away the peace and excitement you once had. You may be in one of those seasons right now, struggling to truly be happy where you are. But this is not the way God wants you to live. He tells us in the Bible that even in the difficult times, He is with us. Even when you can’t see a way out, He will make a way through. Even when things don’t turn out the way we planned, He has a plan to turn things around for our good. The key is, don’t get upset about your circumstances. Instead, be determined to walk through to victory. You weren’t created to fail but for a purpose, for a reason. Enjoy your life and be a difference maker today? Are you living your life to the fullest?
