“The only way you gain mental toughness is to do things you're not happy doing. If you continue doing things that you're satisfied and make you happy, you're not getting stronger. You're staying where you're at. Either you're getting better, or you're getting worse. You're not staying the same.” — David Goggins. Mental toughness is the ability to stay aligned with the Creator when every voice around you is trying to pull you into a trap. Goggins is right: if you only do what

“Indecision is the thief of opportunity... it is a disease because it keeps you from making the moves that could change your life.” — Jim Rohn... "Maybe" is a playground for the enemy. We often dress up our indecision as "waiting for a sign" or "praying about it," but more often than not, it is simply a fear of the commitment. . Indecision is a disease because it leaves the door to your heart cracked open for compromise. When you refuse to commit to something or someone, you

“Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment... and that bridge must be crossed every day. It eventually becomes a habit.” — Jim Rohn We live in a culture of "starts"—new diets, new prayers, new resolutions. Looking back at the life you left behind, or the "comfort" you sacrificed, is a form of spiritual indecision. It creates a structural crack in your bridge. Endurance is the discipline of the true leader who understands that the "accomplishment" isn't a trop

“If you do not conquer yourself, you will be conquered by yourself.” — Napoleon Hill Self-Mastery: Failing to govern your own mind, emotions, and desires allows these internal factors to dictate your life, leading to self-defeat. Internal Obstacles: Fears and doubts are the primary culprits that hold individuals back, and conquering them is necessary for success. Active Choice: The phrase implies that one must actively cultivate discipline, purpose, and self-awareness to a

"The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn."...quote by Herbert Gerjoy included in Alvin Toffler's Future Shock . Toffler expanded on this perspective by saying " We must search out totally new ways to anchor ourselves, for all the old roots—religion, nation, community, family, or profession—are now shaking under the hurricane impact of the accelerative thrust." Discernment requires humili

Leadership is an act of submission. To be a leader means listening to all kinds of people and in all types of situations. This is the price of leadership—it’s an act of sacrifice. Leadership does not begin with authority—it begins with surrender. Those who lead well do so not by asserting their will, but by submitting it first. So leadership is part and parcel of the work of submission to God and others. The leader who refuses to submit to God will inevitably impose himsel

Do not wait; the time will never be ‘just right.’ Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along.”— George Herbert... Waiting for perfect conditions is one of the most subtle forms of disobedience. Scripture reminds us that those who wait for certainty never move, and those who wait for ideal circumstances never sow. God does not call us to predict outcomes—He calls us to act in faith. Jesus fra

“Integrity is doing the right thing, even when no one is watching.” — C.S. Lewis… Integrity is rarely loud, and it’s almost never noticed in the moment. Most of the choices that shape us happen quietly—when there’s no recognition, no applause, and no one keeping score. Integrity doesn’t just describe who we are; it guides us. It steadies us when emotions pull, when shortcuts tempt, and when compromise feels easier. A divided life eventually divides the soul. What we pretend

Life is a gift. Every one of us has a certain number of days on the earth. How will you utilize your time so you can eventually look back and, like Paul, confidently say you finished well?

We all have an example of an under performing or undeserving person who was given a job or a promotion. You may even be that person now wondering why did my career vanish when things got tough and you crumbled under the pressure, or when you just didn't meet performance expectations. While the practice of performance metrics is considered unfair/unjust by som

Have you ever been on a business trip with a group of peers/customers when someone says  “Let’s go to the strip (gentleman’s) club.” or “Let’s see if the new girl/guy in the office wants to party a little bit?”   I have and am sad to say I succumbed to this type of pressure 30 years ago before accepting Jesus as the Lord of my life. Mind you I believed in God, but I wasn’t committed to God’s ways and word. (Gal. 5:16-28). Three things occurred to me the last time I was in a ‘

We have all seen it before; a person who seems to have it all or be on track to have it all is suddenly exposed for illegal or immoral actions. Pride and greed just got the best of him/her motivating the person to choose to succumb to these desires instead leading a moral, upright life. Oh the consequences: trust broken, relationships marred, job/business loss, reputation tarnished, and financial setbacks (Hebrews 4:13). We have also seen the successful, highly ethical busine

I worked with and around sales folks for 40+ years. The best sales person I ever knew is L. A. Brown from Kentucky. He had been working the same territory for 25 years and was consistently ranked as one of the top three performers in the country. ‘Brownie’ was a follower of Christ who was bold in his faith. He was a member of the Gideon Society. The aroma of Jesus was all around him every day (2 Cor 2:15). He was an absolute gentleman and was highly respected – most of his cu

Been there done that…more than once but after the initial shock and disappointment I had to pull it together because no matter what, I knew God had something better for me in His plan. In all cases, God provided for our needs in ways that were beyond what I could have dreamed. (Jer 29:11-13). I found the hardest part of being laid off was feeling unvalued and unwanted. These feelings grew as the days dragged on with ‘no interest’ responses for all the job apps I was submittin
