You can't win a track meet just by thinking about it. You can't win a basketball game just by dreaming. To have the life you say you want, YOU must BE ABOUT THE WORK that turns you into the person you need to be – to get that life. [Read more…] about One simple tweak to improve your chances of success
How do you handle emotional storms?
Sometimes, you have to slow down in order to end up in the right place at the right time. Sometimes, rest is the only way through the storm.
Just saying, it makes you cute and you get your best brain back.

What do you have in common with these women?
One of these women was a victim of domestic violence as a college student. Another was attacked by her husband on their honeymoon. The third grew up in a household filled with domestic violence. And the fourth has never had to deal with anything like that.
All of them are beautiful, blessed and pursuing their dreams. Look, your past doesn't have the right to destroy your future. I don't care how dark it was, the violence is not bigger than your destiny. You run this.

Catching Fire
Desire is just the beginning. It’s what you do with it that creates an amazing life.
As a child I wanted to be all kinds of things — a doctor, a lawyer, a secretary, an entrepreneur, a botanists, a writer, a singer, a dancer.
But it’s the desire that you feed that becomes your passion. And it’s the passion that drives a dream from your mind into reality. But first you have to catch fire.
[Read more…] about Catching FireMy Obsessions
I’m not afraid of an obsession — anymore. I think I’m wired for them. And since I’m going to have a few on this side of heaven, I’m choosing mine on purpose.
No more obsessing over the wrong man or the wrong friends. These days I’m focusing on the right dream.
A few of my obsessions:
- communication and what it does to a relationship,
- language and how it feels as it comes out,
- love and the way it gets into everything, eventually
Personal Lesson: Fuel what really matters.
Instead of reminiscing on the things I hate, I’m pouring the best of me into the life I want

Strongest Desire?
What do you want the most out of life? What are you willing to work the hardest for? To pray consistently for? What are you willing to grow into?
What passion causes the best of you to rise to the top?
REMEMBER:
The strongest desire will end up dominating your life and dictating your behavior. Make sure it’s something that’ll turn you into who you really want to be.
A lesson learned the hard way. And now that I get it, no one can take it away.

You Are…
You are special. That’s all.
