Take Action

take-action

Have you ever tried to talk to someone and for some reason or another they just didn’t get it? No matter how you tried to explain things or ‘break it down’ to their level it would not sink in. Then you decided to actually show them instead, thinking maybe if they see it they will finally understand and they do. What I am getting at here is that people are more likely to do something if you show them instead of tell them. There comes a time when your actions have to be about business so much so that you won’t have to ever say a word.

April 20, 2014 people all over the world celebrated something that embodies just that, Resurrection Sunday. Also known as Easter. We celebrated the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Jesus walked among many people on this earth and told great stories and examples of how we are to live. In fact, the oracles of God are depicted throughout several books of the bible. And if His words weren’t powerful enough, He took it to the next step by putting those words into action by dying on the cross. When Jesus died on the cross every situation, every infirmity, every financial burden, every sickness, every disease or anything else you could possibly think of died with Him. Beautiful thing is however, is that’s not how His story ends. He died but three days later rose with ALL power.

Even more important is why He did it, simply put…because He loves you. He loves you so much that He knew simply telling you would not be enough. He had to show you by sacrificing himself. Can you say you’d be willing to do the same thing? I know I wouldn’t and I consider myself to be a pretty loving person.

In spite of what they have heard or even see for themselves, there are many people who rejected Jesus back then and still do today. If you are one of those people, I challenge you to make a decision today to take action and change. Change your perception and your mindset of the one who died to set you free. And who did so knowing that you would one day reject Him. Take action and decide to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Decide to live for Him, if for no other reason than because He died for you.

“But the angel answered and said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead, and indeed He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him. Behold, I have told you.” Matthew 28:5-7 NKJV

The Gift of Friendship

letstalkaboulife365.com(friendships)

I have learned that the law of reciprocity is very important when it comes to friendship. In other words, if you want a friend you have to be a friend. You have to know what it means to be there for someone at all times, not just when its convenient for you. You have to be willing to go out of your way to support them, even if it means waking up in the middle of the night and listening to them cry about the end of a relationship or reaching out after the death of a loved one. What goes around comes around, so what you give out in a friendship is what you will get back.

While it is good to have friends, keep in mind that you must have the right friends. There is so much power in connections. Not so much because of status or position, but because of support. If you are connected with the right people, that means you have a good support system. You have people in your corner who are going to help push you in the right direction. You have people there when you fall who will help pick you back up. You have people who know you and accept you for who you are with no strings attached. They will tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear and they are there in both good and bad times. Having a good, solid support system is one of the tools that God uses to show you His love.

No matter how many people you know. Friends are hard to find. In a lifetime you only get a few. When I reflect upon the friends that I have, all I can do is thank God. I have been truly blessed with some amazing people on my team. I can say without a shadow of a doubt that true friendship cannot be summed up in one big thing. True friendship is about several little things. It’s also not about numbers. I’d rather have 3 loyal and trustworthy friends than 30 who were just there out of convenience.  Friendship is a gift. Cherish the friends you have. Never take people’s friendship for granted.

A Life Worth Fighting For

letstalkaboutlife365.com(fight)

How hard are you willing to fight for what you want?  This is a viable question that not enough people think about.  Success starts with the way you think and if you can get to the place of success in your mind that’s all you need to make it happen.  That’s Bible.  Now it’s time for a reality check.  What are you thinking about?  Are you thinking about the things that are wrong?  Not enough money, not enough time, not enough resources?  If so, stop! Stop thinking about the wrong and focus on the right.  In fact, focus on the right now.  Whatever it is in your life right now that you think is wrong, what are you doing right now to change it?  As I said before, how hard are you willing to fight for what you want?  If you want change, then be change.  If you want success, be success.  Fight for it.  Anything worth having is worth fighting for.  Besides, when something is simply given to you, the appreciation level is nowhere near the same as if you had worked hard to get it.

In spite of what it may appear from the outside looking in, life gives out a rough hand of cards to everybody.  It’s what you do with those cards that makes the difference.  Everyone who appears to be successful or accomplished haven’t been that way their entire life.  They just knew what to do with their cards.  They chose to focus their thoughts on the right thing, fight for what they want and not let the obstacles discourage or hinder their success.  Your dream is out there waiting for you to pursue it.  Your destiny is calling.  You have a life worth fighting for.  It’s up to you to believe it.
