Authority is 20% given and 80% taken…so take it!
PETER UEBERROTH (Organizer of the 1984 Summer Olympics and commissioner of Major League Baseball, 1984–1988 )
Multimillionaire Dr. John Demartini is a resounding success by anyone’s standards. He’s married to a beautiful and brilliant woman—Athena Starwoman, the world-famous astrologer who consults and writes for 24 well-known magazines, including Vogue. Together, they own several homes in Australia. And they spend over 60 days a year together circumnavigating the globe in their $3 million luxury apartment onboard the $550 million ocean liner World of ResidenSea—a residence they purchased after selling their Trump Tower apartment in New York City.
The author of 54 training programs and 13 books, John spends the year traveling the world speaking and conducting his courses on financial success and life mastery.
But John didn’t start out rich and successful. At age 7, he was found to have a learning disability and was told that he would never read, write, or communicate normally. At 14, he dropped out of school, left his Texas home, and headed for the California coast. By 17, he had ended up in Hawaii, surfing the waves of Oahu’s famed North Shore, where he almost died from strychnine poisoning. His road to recovery led him to Dr. Paul Bragg, a 93-year-old man who changed John’s life by giving him one simple affirmation to repeat: “I am a genius and I apply my wisdom.”
Inspired by Dr. Bragg, John went to college, earned his bachelor’s degree from the University of Houston and later his doctoral degree from the Texas College of Chiropractic.
When he opened his first chiropractic office in Houston, John started with just 970 square feet of space. Within 9 months, he’d more than doubled that and was offering free classes on healthy living.
When attendance grew, John was ready to expand again. It was then he took a leap that changed his career forever.
“It was Monday,” John said. “The shoe store next door had vacated over the weekend.” What a perfect lecture hall, John thought as he quickly phoned the leasing company.
When no one called him back, John concluded they weren’t going to rent the space soon, so he took a leap.
“I called a locksmith to come out and open up the place,” John said. “I thought the worst thing they would do was charge me rent.”
He quickly transformed the space into a lecture hall and within days was holding free talks there on a nightly basis. Because the space was located right next to a movie theater, he added a loudspeaker so moviegoers could hear his lectures as they walked to their cars. Hundreds began attending classes and eventually became patients.
John’s practice grew rapidly. Yet nearly 6 months went by before the property manager came to investigate.
“You’ve got a lot of courage,” the manager said. “You remind me of me.” In fact, he was so impressed with John’s daring, he even gave John 6 months’ free rent! “Anybody that has the courage to do what you did deserves it,” he told him. The manager later invited John down to his office, where he offered him a quarter of a million dollars a year to come work for him. John turned it down because he had other plans, but it was a huge validation of his courage to act.
Taking a leap helped John build a thriving practice, which he later sold to begin consulting full time with other chiropractors.
“Taking that leap opened up a doorway for me,” John said. “If I’d held back…if I had been cautious…I wouldn’t have made the breakthrough that gave me the life I live today.”

We’ve all acquired patterns of behavior that form the basis of our daily routines. But what happens when our daily routines are suddenly changed? After spending a year embracing uncertainty, how do we start to move forward?
The beginning of 2021 is the perfect time to reset our minds, look closely at our habits, and prepare our hearts for what God is going to do next.
Here are 5 ways to do that:
Set aside time with God every day.
You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
JEREMIAH 29:13
Start rebuilding healthy habits by making time with God your top priority. When you prioritize time with Him, you allow Him to renew your mind and change the way you think.
One tool you can use to create a daily quiet time routine is Verse of the Day Stories. Start your day with a Story and get into the habit of letting God’s Word speak to you.
Ask yourself: At what times of day do I find it easiest and hardest to connect with God?
Fix your eyes on Jesus
Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith.
HEBREWS 12:1-2
Keeping Jesus at the center of your life will help you lay aside anything that might easily entangle you, and eventually, this practice will change the way you live.
So today, take a moment to think about what might be keeping you from focusing entirely on Jesus. Try creating a Prayer in your Bible App and list the distractions you want to surrender. Then, set up a Prayer reminder to help you give those distractions over to Jesus every day.
Ask yourself: What desires are keeping me from centering my life completely around Jesus?
Remember Whose you are
You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.
1 CORINTHIANS 6:19-20
Everything you’ve sacrificed this past year will never compare to the ultimate sacrifice God made for you. So when you begin to grow discouraged, remember that God is eternally invested in your life. Your future is in the hands of Someone who loves you, and He wants you to become the person He created you to be.
Ask yourself: What habits will help me glorify God more?
Start small
One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, and one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much.
LUKE 16:10
Growth takes time, so just pick something small you’d like to change, and start there. Consistently doing one thing well will make it easier to master other habits later. And if you miss a day (or five), give yourself grace. Starting small makes it easier to pick yourself back up and keep moving forward.
Ask yourself: What is one thing I can start to master?
Invite others to join you
As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.
PROVERBS 27:17
We weren’t meant to go through life alone. You’ll find it easier to stay on track if you invite some friends to join you on your journey. Try finding a Bible Plan you’d like to read, and then commit to processing each Plan day together.
Ask yourself: What trusted friends can I invite to join me?
As you keep developing healthy habits, over time you will find yourself becoming more like the person God created you to be.
It only takes a moment to get going, and these 5 steps are a great place to start. Pick the number you want to focus on first, and then stay committed to moving forward by applying this bonus step…
Set Reminders to help you pursue what matters most.
Reminders are perfect for the times when you need some extra encouragement to continue to build good habits. And by setting up Bible App reminders, you’ll always have a way to stay connected to God’s Word and His will for you. Reminders are currently available for Bible Plans, Verse of the Day, and YouVersion Prayer.

Well, if you haven’t been doing all of that, it isn’t too late to start.
Welcome back to the blog!!!
I always start the year writting out my goals and fasting, seeking the face of God for directions for the new year.
Last year was quite an eventful year, won’t call it a bad year at all, I achieved 80% of my set goals to the glory of God.
For those of us that didn’t know I lost my dad August last year, it was the most trying period of my life, but I’m healing and it gets better with time.
I want to encourage us to make the most of our time on earth, this year be more grateful, pray more, be happier, keep right company, love, sow, be kind, learn a new skill, brush up your existing skill, travel, spend time with your loved ones, earn, save, have a vision board, set goals and work towards achieving them.
I love you all thank you for taking out time to read this.

If you want to create the life of your dreams, then you are going to have to take 100% responsibility for your life as well. That means giving up all your excuses, all your victim stories, all the reasons why you can’t and why you haven’t up until now, and all your blaming of outside circumstances. You have to give them all up forever.
You have to take the position that you have always had the power to make it different, to get it right, to produce the desired result. For whatever reason—ignorance, lack of awareness, fear, needing to be right, the need to feel safe—you chose not to exercise that power. Who knows why? It doesn’t matter.
The past is the past. All that matters now is that from this point forward you choose—that’s right, it’s a choice—you choose to act as if (that’s all that’s required—to act as if) you are 100% responsible for everything that does or doesn’t happen to you.
All blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with another, and regardless of how much you blame him, it will not change you.
WAYNE DYER
You will never become successful as long as you continue to blame someone or something else for your lack of success.
If you are going to be a winner, you have to acknowledge the truth—it is you who took the actions, thought the thoughts, created the feelings, and made the choices that got you to where you now are. It was you!
You are the one who ate the junk food.
You are the one who didn’t say no!
You are the one who took the job.
You are the one who stayed in the job.
You are the one who chose to believe them.
You are the one who ignored your intuition.
You are the one who abandoned your dream.
You are the one who bought it.
You are the one who didn’t take care of it.
You are the one who decided you had to do it alone.
You are the one who trusted him.
You are the one who said yes to the dogs.
In short, you thought the thoughts, you created the feelings, you made the choice, you said the words, and that’s why you are where you are now.
Hope you enjoyed this read, if you did kindly share with your friends.

One of the three key principles to becoming successful is being internally motivated, my friend said. What this simply means is that you have to be self-sufficient enough to generate inner peace, joy and a cheering team all within you.
You have to be your own biggest fan rather than waiting on others to do the job for you. You want to know why? Allow me to let you in on a secret: nobody has got your back like you do. They may care and stand by you but in the end, it is just you. You are the one who understands your vision the most; you are the one who knows where the shoe pinches and you are the one who gets hurt the most when things don’t work out as you had envisioned. Thus, you can’t really blame them for not motivating you all the time.
Don’t sit around, waiting for that pat on the back. You may never get it. If you want to become successful, then learn how to generate internal motivation, moving on despite the fact that no one else is encouraging you to do that. This kind of motivation lasts the most.
