“And whenever you pray, do not be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, so that they may be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward.  But whenever you pray, go into your room and shut the door and…

There is nothing wrong with being nice. There is nothing wrong with going the extra mile to do things for others.  But make sure you consider your motivation in doing so.  If your motivation is to ensure that others will be happy with you, you will be disappointed. Why? Because no matter how hard you…

Many people get caught up in the idea that they are too important to do certain tasks. But that is a misguided way of thinking.  No one is too important to clean a bathroom, serve others food or pick up garbage.  And the mark of truly successful people is that they to do all tasks,…

It is a skill that we develop over time.  Of course, some of us are naturally more patient than others.  Nevertheless, we…

Here is a little secret that no one likes to talk about with regard to success. It doesn’t matter whether you went to college.  It doesn’t matter if your parents are rich or poor.  It doesn’t matter if you are fabulous looking or funny looking.  It doesn’t matter if you are young or old.  All…

“May you be made strong with all the strength that comes from his glorious power, and may you be prepared to endure everything with patience, while joyfully giving thanks to the Father, who has enabled you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the light.” Colossians 1: 11-12 We all face times in…
