There Is No Magic

There is no magic formula that will lead you to success. No slight of hand or trick that will bring a great achievement your way.

People tend to want the quick fix and they want it yesterday but the only way real and lasting success happens is with moment by moment, day by day work.

It’s not glamorous and is sometimes messy but if you set your mind on the vision that you have, show up and do the work daily you will be closer to it at the end of the day than you were yesterday.

Control your effort and your attitude today and then do that again tomorrow and continue to repeat it.  Moment by moment.  Day by day.

It’s not magic.
It’s reality.
It’s the key to lasting success.

I’m cheering for you.

Questions to Ponder and Pursue

1. How can I create a daily routine that aligns with my long-term vision and ensures consistent effort towards my goals?

2. In what ways can I maintain a positive attitude and motivation through the inevitable challenges and messiness of pursuing success?

Divine Success: Working For God’s Glory

Success in the eyes of the world often seems fleeting, driven by accolades and quick fixes. Yet, as a follower of Christ, you are called to a higher standard, one that transcends momentary gains.

Colossians 3:23-24 is a reminder, “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward.”

True success comes from dedicating your efforts to God, striving for excellence in every task, no matter how small or mundane.

When you align your work with His purpose, you find lasting fulfillment and divine reward.  Each day, show up with a heart full of devotion, putting in the work moment by moment, day by day.

By working with a divine purpose, you can set a powerful example for those around you.   Your commitment and integrity can inspire others to seek God in their own endeavors.

Let your work be a testament to His grace, showing that true success is found in serving the Lord with all your heart. 

Embrace this divine approach to success, knowing that your ultimate reward is not from the world, but from the Lord.

Be Blessed!

Lessons From The Course

Many of you know I love golf.  The game, the outdoors, the social part of it, and how it has been the catalyst introducing me to many interesting people.  This past Sunday was no different. 

On Sunday, I had the privilege of playing golf with 93-year-old Elmer, his daughter Joni, and my son
AJ. (He won, but that’s not the real story).  

Elmer’s story is truly inspiring.  After 46 years as a brick layer, he picked up golf upon retiring, and at 93, he’s still swinging the club with passion and vigor.  In fact, he recorded a hole in one last year at the age of 92, the second of his career. 

Elmer’s journey is a powerful reminder that age is just a number.  It’s never too late to start something new and never too late to pursue a passion, or even just a new hobby to keep you active.  

His determination and enthusiasm are a testament to the fact that we are never too old to learn, grow, and enjoy life. 

So, next time you think it’s too late to try something new, remember Elmer.  Embrace new challenges, stay active, and keep swinging!

Let’s be more like Elmer.

I’m cheering for you.

Act For Success

Wishing and hoping lay the foundation, but true progress emerges through action.  The power to shape our reality lies not in mere aspirations, but in purposeful deeds.  

Take that first step, and then another, aligning actions with intentions.  Each stride propels us closer to our goals. 

Remember, success doesn’t respond to idle dreams; it rewards relentless effort and determination. 

Seize the moment, embrace challenges, and steer your actions toward the right path.  With unwavering commitment, you’ll manifest your dreams into tangible achievements. 

So, dare to act boldly, for it’s the driving force that transforms wishes into a triumphant reality.

I’m cheering for you.

Don’t Grow Weary

In your journey of faith, remember Galatians 6:9:  “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” 

This verse reminds us that our efforts, guided by Christ, are never in vain.  As we pursue success, let our motives be anchored in godly purposes. 

Strive not for personal glory, but for the advancement of God’s kingdom.  Every step we take, every challenge we overcome, and every success we achieve should reflect His love and grace.

God calls us to be diligent and unwavering in our good works.  When we align our actions with His will, we become instruments of His blessings. 

It’s easy to grow weary, but faith assures us that our perseverance will be rewarded.  Trust that God sees your dedication and is working behind the scenes for your good.  Keep your eyes on Him, and let His promises fuel your resolve.

Embrace each day with the determination to honor God through your actions.  With His strength, your efforts will bear fruit in due season, leading to a harvest of blessings that glorify His name.

Be Blessed!
