Why Your Past Doesn’t Define Your Future

  We all carry pieces of our past with us. They shape us, influence us, and sometimes even haunt us. Whether it’s mistakes we've made, regrets we carry, or experiences that have left scars, the past can feel like a weight we’re forced to carry through life. But here’s the truth: your past doesn’t define your future . No matter what has happened, no matter where you’ve been or what you’ve done, your future is still wide open, and the power to change your path is always in your hands. Here’s why your past is nothing more than a chapter in your story—and you are the one writing the rest. 1. Your Past Is Just That—The Past One of the hardest things we face is letting go of our past. It’s easy to get stuck in old memories and label ourselves based on things we’ve done or experienced. But every day is an opportunity to start fresh. You’re not the sum of your past mistakes, failures, or setbacks. You are the sum of what you choose to become today. Think about it: your past doesn’t co...

Chasing Your Dreams: Why It’s Never Too Late to Start

  We’ve all been there at some point: sitting with a dream that seems too big, too out of reach, or maybe just too late. There’s a voice in your head saying, “Maybe I missed my chance,” or “I’m too old to start now.” But here’s the truth: it’s never too late to chase your dreams. Whether you’re 25, 35, 55, or even older, the moment you decide to take action is the moment that everything starts to change. Dreams don’t have an expiration date. Life is filled with second chances, new beginnings, and opportunities just waiting for you to seize them. The only thing standing between you and your dream is the decision to go after it. 1. Time Is a Construct, Not a Limitation We often place time in a box and think that because we didn’t start when we “should have,” we’ve missed our moment. The truth is that time is just a concept. Life doesn’t follow a strict timeline; it’s full of unexpected twists, new chances, and new opportunities. Look at people like Colonel Sanders, who started KF...

Mindset Matters: Think Like a Champion-Video

  In "Mindset Matters: Think Like a Champion," we dive deep into the power of mindset and how it shapes every part of your journey. This motivational message is a reminder that success doesn’t start with talent — it starts with belief.

Whether you're chasing a dream, overcoming adversity, or simply trying to level up in life, this powerful talk will inspire you to shift your thinking, embrace resilience, and unlock the champion within you. Your mindset can either limit you — or lead you. The choice is yours. https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/liveandlaugh

You’ve Been Delayed, Not Denied

  There’s a difference between a delay and a denial — and it’s one of the most important distinctions you can understand on your journey. If you feel like life has put your dreams on hold, if doors seem to close just as you’re about to step through, or if setbacks keep piling up — take heart. This isn’t a no; it’s a not yet . Delays are not rejections. They are opportunities for growth, preparation, and alignment. The dream God placed in your heart hasn’t disappeared. It’s simply waiting for the right timing — His timing. Why Delays Are Sometimes Necessary The waiting periods in life can be some of the hardest moments. But these seasons often serve a purpose that’s bigger than we realize: Preparation: Sometimes, God is equipping you with skills, wisdom, or character that you need before the next step. Protection: A closed door might actually be God’s way of protecting you from something that isn’t right for you. Redirection: Delays give you time to reevaluate and p...

You Have 24 Hours Like Everyone Else — Use Them on Purpose

  Let’s take a moment to pause and reflect on something powerful: We all have the same 24 hours in a day. No one gets extra. No one gets less. From the busiest CEOs to stay-at-home parents, students to creatives, we all begin each morning with the same gift — a brand-new day filled with opportunity. So the real question becomes: How are we using that time? Are we living each day with intention, or simply trying to make it through? ✨ Why This Matters Every single hour holds potential. Potential to grow. To serve. To love. To build. But without clarity and purpose, those hours can easily slip through our fingers — leaving us feeling drained, distracted, or disconnected. This isn’t about guilt. It’s about graceful awareness . It’s about realizing you don’t need to do everything — you just need to do the right things with the time you’ve been given. 🌿 5 Gentle Yet Powerful Ways to Use Your Time on Purpose 1. Begin Your Day with God Before the rush, before the noise — start with ...

You Can Want It, But Will You Work for It

  We all want something. A better life. A successful business. Peace of mind. More confidence. More income. More purpose. Wanting isn’t the problem. It’s the willingness to work that separates the dreamers from the doers. Let’s be honest: desire without discipline is just a wish. And you weren’t born to wish—you were built to work , build , grow , and rise . This blog isn’t here to make you feel good. It’s here to challenge you. Because the truth is, you can want it all day long—but will you work for it when it’s hard, when it’s slow, when no one is clapping yet? Let’s talk about what it really takes to move from wanting it... to working for it . 💡 7 Tips to Help You Do the Work (Even When It’s Hard) 1. Define What “It” Really Is You say you want it—but what is it ? Success, freedom, health, purpose—get specific. Clarity creates direction. If your goal is vague, your effort will be too. ✍️ Write down your exact goal and what it would look like once achieved. 2. Count th...

Excuses Don’t Get Results: How to Silence the Noise and Move Forward

  Let’s cut straight to it: excuses might sound good, feel justified, and even get a few head nods from others—but they don’t bring results. They don’t pay bills, launch businesses, write books, or build confidence. You know what does? Action. Discipline. Courage in motion—even when it’s messy. If you’ve been talking yourself out of your goals, today is the day you stop letting noise—internal or external—dictate your next move. Here’s how to quiet the excuses and finally move forward with purpose. 🔑 7 Go-Getter Tips to Silence Excuses and Take Action 1. Get Honest with Yourself Call out the real reason behind your excuse. Is it fear? Perfectionism? Avoidance? When you name it, you can face it. 2. Write Down the “Cost” of Not Acting What are you losing by staying stuck? Time? Opportunities? Confidence? Write it out. Make it real. 3. Reconnect with Your “Why” Your purpose has to be louder than your excuse. Revisit your vision. Visualize the version of you who followed t...

Stop Settling — You Were Born to Lead, Not Just Follow

  There comes a point when you have to look at your life and ask, “Why am I still playing small?” Not because you’re lazy. Not because you’re not capable. But because somewhere along the way, you believed the lie that leadership was for “other” people. You know — the louder ones. The more qualified ones. The more confident, more polished, more put-together ones. But let me remind you of something powerful: You were born to lead. Leadership isn’t about titles, platforms, or popularity. It’s about obedience , influence , and the willingness to rise when everyone else stays seated. If you’ve been following — when deep down you know you were meant to blaze trails, carry vision, and break generational cycles — it’s time to stop settling. It’s time to lead. ✅ 5 Practical Tips to Step Into the Leader You’re Meant to Be 1. Recognize Where You’ve Settled Ask yourself: Where have I been shrinking? Maybe it’s your voice in meetings, your calling, your dreams, or even in your faith. Le...

Break the Lies You’ve Believed About Yourself

  We’ve all done it — believed lies that were never meant to shape our identity. “I’m not good enough.” “I’m too much.” “I’ll never change.” “I always mess things up.” These lies don’t always show up screaming. Sometimes, they sound like your own thoughts. Sometimes, they echo in silence. But the damage they do is loud — stealing your confidence, clouding your decisions, and keeping you stuck in cycles you were never meant to live in. But here’s the good news: you don’t have to keep believing them. You have the power — and the authority — to break them. This is your moment to confront what’s held you back and step into the truth of who God says you are . No more shrinking. No more settling. No more silence. ✅ 5 Practical Tips to Break the Lies You’ve Believed About Yourself 1. Name the Lie You can’t defeat what you won’t identify. Take time to ask yourself: What do I believe about myself that might not be true? Write it down. Don’t filter it. Be honest. 💡 Example:...

Joy Is Still Yours—Even in the Waiting

  Waiting seasons can feel like wandering. You pray, you believe, you hope—and yet days stretch into weeks, months, even years. Doors remain closed. Dreams feel delayed. Answers don’t seem to come. In these moments, it’s easy to lose joy. Not because you’ve given up on God, but because the wait is wearing. You begin to wonder, “Can I really feel joy when nothing around me is changing?” The answer is yes . Because joy is not tied to what you’re waiting for—it’s tied to Who you’re walking with. Joy is not something the world gives, so the world (or your circumstances) can’t take it away. Even in delay, even in silence, even in the unknown— joy is still yours. ✨ 5 Ways to Hold On to Joy While You Wait 1. Shift Your Focus From Outcome to Presence The longer you wait for something, the easier it is to obsess over it. You focus so much on what you’re waiting for that you miss what’s already with you— God’s presence . 📖 “In Your presence there is fullness of joy.” – Psalm 16:1...

When the Wait Feels Long—Trust the Promise

  Waiting is one of the hardest things we’ll ever do. It tests our patience, stretches our faith, and challenges our trust in God’s timing. Whether you’re waiting for a job breakthrough, healing, a restored relationship, or a long-prayed-for dream to come to life—it’s easy to grow weary and wonder, “Did God forget me?” But here's the truth: God’s silence is not His absence , and delay is never denial when you’re walking with Him. The waiting season isn’t wasted. It’s working. Behind the scenes, God is preparing you, positioning you, and strengthening you for the very thing you’ve been praying for. If you’re in the middle of a long, exhausting wait—don’t give up. Hold onto the promise, even when the process feels painful. 5 Powerful Ways to Trust the Promise During the Wait 1. Remind Yourself What God Has Already Done When the future feels uncertain, look back at the faithfulness of God in your past. He didn’t bring you this far to leave you now. 📖 “I will remember the deeds...
