“Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” Matthe 17:20

Motivation Monday: Dealing with People
“Arguing with a fool proves there are two” – Doris M. Smith
Sometimes it is hard for us to put our pride aside and just walk away from arguments or altercations. In order for us to progress we have to be the bigger person and walk away from situations. There is probably that one person at your job who thinks they know everything, or maybe it is a close friend, spouse, or family member. Regardless of who it is, we shouldn’t waste our time arguing with a person who is stubborn and closed minded and refuse to see or understand other point of views. It is easier said than done of course, but it is not impossible. Don’t the be the other ‘fool’ in the argument. Just let some things go.

Motivation Monday: Success
“Success is not limited by your environment. It is based on your creativity and persistence.” -A.R. Bernard
Success is something that we all want, but most of us are not willing to put in the work. We face obstacles like doubt, lack of confidence, negativity from others, and also unrealistic expectations set by ourselves and others. In order for you to truly pursue your goals you must believe in yourself and the abilities given to you by God. Don’t measure your success or try to attain success by following expectations set by society, family, friends, media etc. Only you can determine how far you go. Be persistent, confident, and most importantly have faith that you will do what God has called you to do and do it well.

Motivation Monday: Dsicernment
“Discernment is the ability to grasp, comprehend, and evaluate clearly. It means we can see the true nature of things; it allows us to distinguish between what is real and what is imitation.
Discernment may begin with intuitive hunches and perceptiveness. With intuition as a starting point, the quality of discernment is built over time on honest observation, careful reasoning, and balanced application of our knowledge and principles. In a person who is highly discerning, intuition, emotion, and reason inform each other. As we grow in experience, our ability to discern usually grows stronger, providing us with insight that propels us toward greater wisdom.” Source
How discerning are you?
“You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.” – Anonymous
“One must need to be strong, otherwise one will never become strong” – Friedrich Nietzsche
“Choose rather to be strong of soul than strong of body.” – Pythagoras
“That’s one thing in here, you have to be strong mentally. If you’re not strong mentally, you’re done.” – Luis Sojo
I really couldn’t pick just one quote this week. The strength that I am referring to is keeping your word. Often times we say many things that sound good to us, but after a few days or weeks we lose focus and go back on our word. This is not the time to waver. Realize the decision you made to better yourself is far more rewarding than whatever temptation is placed before you. Although there will be moments of weakness, we must remain strong and keep our word in order to better ourselves.
