If you are like most people, you don’t like to have your buttons pushed. Being able to control yourself is very important for those of us that are trying to accomplish something with our lives. So, here is how it usually goes down. Someone starts to pick at you for whatever reason, but you are focused on what you are supposed to be doing, and you just ignore them. But they continue on until finally you retalieate. Then everyone wants to know what your problem is for responding like that. They are used to the over patty behaving inappropriately but not you. Now you have lost credibility becuase the expectation for you is just higher. Control yourself, and dont allow other to destroy the reputation you have worked so hard to build.

Power Quote:

Self – control is the ability to keep it cool while someone is making it hot for you.

Of course it looks good, it will probably feel good, and maybe even taste good. But that my friends is only for that moment. What happens after you have looked, felt, and tasted of it?  Some time in the very near future, it will not look good, it’s definitely not going to feel good, and it will leave a bad taste in your mouth.

Power Quote:

No matter how many pleasures Satan offers you, his ultimate intention is to ruin you. Your desstuction is his highest priority.

Erwin W. Lutzer (1941 –     )

This is one the most important post I will ever post. There are many situations that occur in our lives that are just hard to swallow sometimes. It could be things you did to yourself or things done to you by others. The thing that we must remember is that our lives are not over. It is not the end of the world. Focus yourself on the task that are in front of you and keep your feet moving. Whenever there is a change in our life, we must remember that life is a process. Embrace it and learn from it because life goes on.

Power Quote

Death is more universal than life; everyone dies, but not everyone lives.

A. Sachs

The strongest man is not strong enough to handle what this world is going to throw at him. There is nothing wrong with his strength, it’s just not enough. We all need something more.

Scripture Reference:

1 Corinthians 1:25

Because the foolishness of God is wiser than me; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

If some where to ask you for a definition of your self, what would say? If I where to look you up in the dictionary of life, what would I find? Many of us would answer by either giving a list of things that have happened to us, mistakes we have made, what others have done to us, and or what we have accomplished. If we are not carefully, we can allow our existence  to be defined by all the wrong things. These are things that have occurred that may not reflect back to us an accurate portrait of who we really are. If it is not these things that define us then what is it?  It is to persevere though the truth on many levels. Persevere through the consequences of our own behavior; persevere through the consequences that have come upon us through the behaviors of others, and lastly and most importantly, persevere through the pain that comes when it is revealed that we are not where we are supposed to be in our lives.

Power Question:

Will you define your life or will it be defined for you?

Rhon Johnson (1966 –      )

Most of the time we can not see where we are going because we have ourselves in the way.

Power Quote:

A man wrapped up in himself makes a very small bundle.

Benjamin Franklin (1706 – 1790)

Get your head up and keep it up! I have had that said to me on many occadions. Not matter the situation , we can keep our heads up. Don t allow the situation of life to cause you to loose hope. Keep your eyes on your target so that you know that you are moving in the right direction. If your head is down, you could easily end up way of track. It is easy to look down and allow negative thoughts to just dominate your mind. Look up and force your mind to focus on what you want.

Scripture Reference:

Hebrews 12:2

lookoing unto Jesus the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and hath sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Vicious rumor only destroy. True or false, what is the motive. Stop them from filling your ears, and definately do not pass them on to your peers.

Power Quote:

The flying rumors gathered as they roll’d. Scarce any tale was sooner heard than told. And all who told it added something new. And all who heard it made enlargement, too. In every ear it spread on every tongue it grew.

Alexander Pope (1688 – 1744)

On this day, lets make it all about that special someone. All you have to do is listen to what they are saying and you can easily see what you can do to make this day special for them.

Power Quote:

Just in case you didn’t know, when God created you, He didn’t have you on His mind.

Rhon Johnson (1966 –      )

Have you ever had something in life hit you so hard that you were emotionally knocked out, and the referee had started in with the ten count? The disappointment yells at you to stay down. In your other ear, that part of you that refuses to quit screams at you over and over to get up. Have you been there? I know I have. Just about six months ago, I got some news that hit me so hard that I physically had to go lay down. All my time, effort, and money went down the drain. It looked and felt as though it was all over. How in the world can I bounce back, I asked myself? At the time no answers to the problem came to me. But still, I made the decision to get up physically and emotionally. I vowed to find away to put the pieces back together and get it done. Considering where I am now, that which appeared to be a deadly blow actually turned out to be the best thing that could have happened. But what if I would not have gotten up and put things back in motion again? I would not be experiencing the victory that I have right now.
