Actions Speak Louder Than Words

Actions speak louder than any written or spoken word. Someone once told me that our thoughts drive our emotions and our emotions drive our behavior which drives our actions. Therefore, we have to have a healthy thought life in order to have a healthy emotional and physical one. So ask yourself, what types of thoughts are you having? Are they positive or negative? 

Being intentional about filtering out your negative thoughts and replacing them with positive ones will in turn change your behavior. John Maxwell  said that "having good intentions, isn't enough..."; we have to back it with intentional actions. Why? Well, because saying words without action is like saying I'm going to be more active to lose weight and then stay in bed all day.

Earl Nightingale said "Whatever we plant in our subconscious mind and nourish with repetition and emotion will one day become reality".

So, I challenge you today, take a moment to align your thoughts with the behavior and action you want to display. Then, be a person of your word and intentions so that you can intentionally take action!

Our Words

Has it ever occurred to you that our words are powerful? What comes out of our mouths can bestow a positive or negative impact on someone else’s life. In Proverbs 18:21 in says “The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit”. Meaning there is true power in our tongue, we all have the ability to either speak life into someone and their situation or we can speak death over them and what they are going through. Which do you find yourself doing most?  I know I have chosen to speak life into each and every person I come into contact with because I know the power that lies in my tongue. This is a conscience choice I make each morning, it doesn’t change depending on my personal situation, or issues I might be going through that morning and it doesn’t change during the course of the day no matter how good or bad my day has been. There is always someone out there that is going through a season in life that needs to hear your words of encouragement. It could be a close friend or a complete stranger that needs you right now.

What I have come to realize each day when I make my choice to speak life into others is that I begin to bear good fruit in return. So today, take the focus off of yourself and add value to someone else by being the hands and feet of this world. Make a choice to positively impact others by being encouraging to them. Speak life into someone each day and watch the fruit you will bear in return!

YOU Matter!

Self-talk is the most powerful type of communication in the world. We are our greatest critic. How we talk to ourselves matters, our thought life matters, and who we see in the mirror matters! It reflects how we value ourselves and our self-worth. Who do you see when you look in the mirror? Do you see a person of value, one who is a daughter or son of God? Or do you see failure and regret? I believe we all have moments and events in life that shape our thinking and we start to believe the lies this world tells us about ourselves. But there is a way to take back the control and that’s with daily affirmations. Daily affirmations help you to reprogram your brain to see someone of value looking back at you in that mirror. So, for each negative thought you have about yourself today, write down and say the opposite of how you feel. For example: You may think “I am not enough, you write and say out loud “I am enough”, you may think “I am not a good leader”, you say “I am a great leader”, you may think “I am not worthy”, you say out loud “ I am worthy”. Do this each morning and be intentional, take back the control and be a priority in your own life. James Allen once said “You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where our thoughts take you”…….. So, where is it, you want to be tomorrow? Before you answer that remember….. YOU matter!

I will keep you all posted on the date, time, and cost of the mastermind groups.

Monday's

So many hate Monday's but I simple don't. To me, Monday symbolizes a new beginning, a fresh start, a clean slate from last work weeks mistakes. I love Mondays because God gave it to me. I look at it as another day that God has blessed me with in order to use me as his vessel and to be a blessing to others. So instead of complaining about Monday and wishing our weekend was longer... Smile... It's a New Day!

#mondaysmatter

I am feel so blessed that my Intentional Living Books came in. Now its time to get a Master Mind Group Scheduled. 
If anyone is interested, I am a Coach, Trainer, and speaker with the John Maxwell Program and I would be happy to discuss setting up a Lunch and Learn or even a Master Mind Group Training on Leadership and Growth Development for you or your staff.
