One Step At A Time

There are four easy steps that empower you to make a difference in other people’s lives daily and lead you along the path of Biblical and Spiritual fulfillment:

-When you wake up each morning, remind yourself of your goals and purpose for the day, which is to become the-best-version-of-yourself you can be.

-Ask yourself, “Whose day can I make today?”

-Ask yourself, “How can I make that person’s day?”

-When you have made these steps get ready for the day. Take a few minutes to plan, reflect, and pray. Find a quiet place, and visualize how you would like your day to unfold. Make plans to fulfill your true needs physically, emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually. Take a moment to become aware of, and to appreciate, all you have and all you are, and then you will be ready for the day.

If you faithfully commit yourself to this simple plan for the next ten days, your life will begin to be filled with the fruit of the Spirt, namely peace, joy, and love. You will also find an increased ability to be loved, a rare happiness and satisfaction, a profound sense of fulfillment, and the passion for life as intended for you by God.

That's when you find the Biblical and Spiritual fulfillment you seek as you personally discover the power of making a difference in someone's life. Remember life will issue you the challenge daily to continually face difference-making decisions, but once you learn how to make them you can consistently engage that power in your daily life.

You can do all things in Christ-it just takes one step at a time.
