Work your gifts

Do you know what your gifts are? What are you good at doing? What can you do with little effort that another may take months to develop? If you know the answer to these questions, please tell me, why are you not working in your gifts? Are you doing something that you know you should not do? If you know that someone else should be doing what you've been charged to do; why hold that back from that person?

There are so many people in public and private sectors that are not in their lane, they should not be in certain positions and if honest, they will admit it. They don't have the skills(innate or learned) to do the job they are paid to do. This causes more work for other people, wastes time and eventually money. I am not encouraging quitting from a job but people spend more time doing what they hate than what they love or what they are really qualified to do and I want to encourage you, whomever you are to really evaluate you situation and if this speaks to you; it is your time to put a plan in place to make some changes that will position you in your proper place whereby you can make a more dynamic impact on the lives of others. Be encouraged but most of all, Be true to yourself!

Circle of Influence

Everyone has a circle of influence. Its made up of persons that are close to us and truly want the best for us, they do not force their own selfish will upon us, they value their friendship with us, they are honest with us and love us, in spite of our faults or shortcomings. Additionally, they are committed to us, helping us to be the best that we can be. We also value their thoughts and opinions and this is why they are in our circle. But there is another curve to this circle. We may have some people in our circle of influence that shouldn’t be that close to us. This is why everyone we meet or have a friendship with will not be a positive influence in our lives. Many times, we can attach ourselves to people that mean us no good.  They don’t have our best interest at heart and can care less about our goals or aspirations. They can literally hinder our progress. As my mother says, “There are some people you have to handle them with a long handle spoon!” Their influence is not an asset, its a liability and we bear the consequences, if us choose to heed them.

Who is in your circle of influence?

Pursue Excellence - Make a Difference!

I want to encourage you to pursue excellence at all times. No matter your job, career or volunteer work, be excellent!. Excellence is not perfection. It means to be exceptionally good; to be greater; to surpass. A person of excellence is rare; but not unattainable.

There’s a story of a woman who was hired as an assistant at a corporation. It wasn’t the most highlighted job in the company but she still set her mind to make a difference. In her cubicle, she decorated it, organized it, used a her own color theme, put inspirational messages on the walls and made it inviting and warm. She took it to another level in the workplace. Because of her initiative and personal pursuit of excellence, she helped to create a work environment conducive to positive productivity and encouraging teamwork. Soon other workers in the office began to make positive changes to their own work area. This woman’s commitment to be greater encouraged others to do the same. Take a look at your life. Are you positively contagious? Are you pursuing excellence, daily? If not, I encourage you to be exceptionally good, go the extra mile and pursue excellence!  You are only one but you can make a difference!

Just do it!

Let’s start loving more. Let’s keep our vows. Do what we say that we will do. Let’s stop defrauding others and be real. It takes more energy to be who we are not than it does to be who we really are. Let’s help somebody. Offer wise counsel and be a good friend to someone. We should never turn our backs on an opportunity to help and empower others, especially if we have the resources to do so. Any Blessed gift you have will make room for you so, share your gift with the world. Realize that no one has to help you. It is purely the grace of God upon our lives that persons are coming to our aid, building us up, encouraging us and urging us to be men and women of excellence and integrity. Lastly, show appreciation for those persons that have been a blessing to you. Take nothing for granted. Embrace every good and perfect gift you receive.

Give honor where honor is due.
