The 10 Days Purpose Challenge...Day 2: Create a Theme

Day 2: Create a Theme

Estimated time: 5 minutes

Creating a theme helps you to nail down, outline, and get excited about the changes that will soon be sweeping through your life. Choose a theme that resonates with you and write it down, using words that have special meaning to you. You may even wish to base it on one or more of your general areas for change from Day 1. Explain your theme’s importance and all of its fun consequences. For example, if your theme is spirituality that might mean: reading through the Bible in one year, attending Bible study weekly, praying more regularly, meditating on Scripture, joining a new church,  and saying yes to your calling. You can even write down several themes and what each one means to you.

Here are some ideas:

·         Single, Saved and Living On Purpose!

·         Healthy, happy, and Blessed

·         Prayed up

·         Overflowing with peace

·         Living in limitless favor

·         Called to be a conqueror

·         Living life like God is good

·         Making a difference in the world

·         Divinely inspired and fulfilled

·         Spiritually empowered

·         The year of yes

Day 1: Get Clear About Your Purpose

·         Health

·         Love

·         Creativity

The Power Of Our Thoughts

The Power Our Thoughts

In today’s society, with negative news coverage, commercials that evoke fear, and all the things happening in society, it’s easy for negative thought patterns to take root. Many people who think negatively are wonderful people who value relationships and care deeply for the people in their lives. However, they often, without realizing it, push away the very people that they are concerned about or seeking support and encouragement from, because they can become preoccupied, fearful, miserable, negative and hard to be around. This is not a switch in the brain that can be easily turned off, but rather, a pattern from which it requires dedication and work to recover. Here are two ways to stop over-thinking, chronic worrying and find peace in the present moment:

1.    Breathe more. Breathing will relax you, calm you, connect you to the present moment, and help you feel grounded. It sounds so simple but often when our mind starts to race to bad places, we become hysterical and anxious when what we need to do is relax the body and mind. One way to breathe more is use meditation apps which are readily available on smart phones and tablets. Daily listening can help ease anxiety, fear, worry and doubt.

2.    Surrender to God. Surrender does not mean giving up; it just means you are willing to go with the flow. Surrender is a form of release and a form of peace, because it means you are willing to trust that everything will work out as it is supposed to. 

We must be aware of our thoughts because our thoughts have power and create outcomes we may not want, more than we realize.

Depression, Misery and Fatigue

Depression, Misery and Fatigue

If you find yourself in this state of mind often, you are what psychologists call an over-thinker, and this way of thinking can be detrimental to your mental and physical health. Psychologists have found that over-thinking can lead to depression, misery and fatigue, especially in women, who are much more likely than men to think about stresses and dissatisfactions.

Are You Teachable?

Are You Teachable?

Following the call for friends who are trustworthy, Jesus extends His invitation to Simon and Andrew with a promise, “Come after me. And I will make you become….” His choice of the term “become” is intentional. It is a term that implies the engagement of the student in a lifetime of learning and compliments the developmental potential of the student as a learner. Simply put, Jesus call for disciples who are teachable.

In the blink of an eye your life could be taken away from you. Yes, we know that there is a starting point and an ending point to our lives, but if I open your notebook of what you accomplished and read your accomplishments, would I notice an increase in the value of all that God entrusted you with. O how many times I’ve heard people say “I wish I could do it all over again. If I had a chance I would do it differently.” However, do you know it’s never too late to? If you are still among the living, then you have adequate time to accomplish some of the things that you might miss during your neglected moments.
