Your vision sets the goal. We must see the accomplished version of ourselves. If you’re struggling to “see” it then you’re likely not convinced it can be. I love how Apostle I.V. Hilliard puts it - “We must visit our future on the canvas of our imagination”. Seeing ourselves being, doing, having and achieving is a MUST to shift our mind for what is possible for us. We often stop short and settle with NO without ever even asking God to weigh in. He wants us to see ourselves empowered to achieve.

Almost every successful person begins with two beliefs - the future can be better than the present and I have the power to make it so. Fear is nothing more than False Evidence Appearing Real. We must remove all doubt and choose to turn our can’ts into cans & our dreams into plans.

Listen, we absolutely should “Name it” & “Claim it” - but it’s only in the “Doing it” that our faith comes alive. Faith is made known more by what we do. Faith is an action word. We must put our hands to work and get it done. We must do something daily that moves us forward. Let’s never be afraid of going slow - but be afraid of standing still. You are possible. But you must do the work!

Self care is far more than manicures & pedicures. It’s really sad we’ve reduced it to that alone. Those things are fine but they lack the substance needed to truly sustain the weight of greatness you possess and the success that awaits you.

Self care is investing in yourself fully so that you can perform optimally. It’s a conscious act to promote your own physical, mental, and emotional health. It’s seeking the necessary help, support and partnerships that edify you and build you up - mind, body & soul.

Self care is often overlooked yet it is critically vital for building resilience toward the life stressors you cannot eliminate. When intentional steps are taken to care for yourself fully, you'll be better equipped to live your best life.

Do not get weary!!! Anything worth having is absolutely worth your pursuit, worth your diligence and worth your passion. Do not give up when you face opposition as it’s often a sign that success is near. Stay focused on your goals, believing it is possible for you.

The world needs your deposit. There are people waiting for you to show up strong. So, don’t let delay confuse your objective or dilute your commitment. Stay the course. Your decision to pursue may be challenged but it was not a mistake. Success is imminent. Don’t give up.
