Personal growth is a mission that starts from within and is fueled by how hungry you are for transformation. ~ Dr. V.A. Joseph
Today, I want to challenge you to see things differently. Take a moment to write down what your current state of family, faith, finances, and health are right now. Imagine what you desire them to look like in 5 years and start taking the steps to get them there.
I talk to people all the time and tell them that life is a progressive movement. If you want something out of it than you are going to have to put something into to it. For many, WORK is a curse word and a foreign concept. There is a great Chinese proverb that says "Be not afraid of growing slowly; be afraid only of standing still." What am I saying? It is better to move an inch at a time towards your goals that to leap a mile into destruction ~ Dr. V.A. Joseph
Another great principle and life tip is that family is not handpicked, but God delivered. You don’t get to choose your parents, siblings, etc. This simply means that your family whether they are dysfunctional, crazy, or loving are part of your life. There are lessons to be learned about who you are and where you came from. "He that will not reflect is a ruined man." ~ Asian Proverb
Developing in faith is a lifestyle within itself. Faith causes you to see, say and do things that are not normal because you have been enlightened. The key is to make sure that you are connected to the source. There is nothing worse than appearing to be or have a connection that is not there. It’s similar to having a flat screen television mounted on a wall but no power running to it, or having a nice pool in the back yard without water in it. "To conquer oneself is the best and noblest victory; to be vanquished by one's own nature is the worst and most ignoble defeat." ~ Plato
How are you perceived in this world financially? You may not have exactly what you want, but you have enough to start. Your finances will change when you change the way you view your finances. Any place is a good place to start. "The way to gain a good reputation is to endeavor to be what you desire to appear." ~ Socrates
We have all heard the statement that says, “You are what you eat.” Your health is not simply how you eat, but it encompasses your physical, mental, and spiritual capacity. Anytime you have the ability to increase productivity in your health, you should make it happen. Don’t wait to start on Monday, implement it immediately because life is worth living. If you have an hour, will you not improve that hour, instead of idling it away?" ~ Lord Chesterfield
