This is a favorite quote from Slay Your Giant

Champions compete to win. But they also know they are not always going to win. There will be heartbreaking losses along the way. Champions refuse to avoid the game in order to avoid loss or failure!

Prospered not to increase my Standard of Living,
but to increase my Standard of Giving

From The Traveler's Gift by Andy Andrews:

I am a person of action I inspire others with my activity.  I am a leader.
Leading is doing.  To lead, I must move forward.  Many people move out of the way of a person on the run; others are caught up  in his wake.  My activity will create a wave of success for the people who follow.  My activity will be consistent.  This will instill confidence in my leadership.  As a leader, I have the ability to encourage and inspire others to greatness.  It is true: an army of sheep led by a lion would defeat an army of lions led by a sheep!
...
I am a person of action.  I am daring.  I am courageous.
Fear no longer has a place in my life.  For too long, fear has outweighed my desire to make things better for my family.  Never again!  I have exposed fear as a vapor, an impostor that never had any power over me in the first place!  I do not fear opinion, gossip, or the idle chatter of monkeys, for all are the same to me.  I do not fear failure, for in my life, failure is a myth.  Failure exists only for the person who quits.  I do not quit.

Andy Andrew's material is available at www.andyandrews.com.  I am very moved by his story The Traverler's Gift and the video he did speaking about it.  Besides, he is very funny.

How To Get Maximum MPG: "How To Get Maximum MPG" Ever wanted a single place to find all of the recommendations for better gas mileage? If not, what planet do you live on? This site has it all except it doesn't mention anything about adding acetone. You should read the articles on this blog about acetone and know I am using it to get my mileage back up to where it was before the government recently reformulated gas and reduced all of our mileage in one fell swoop.

"Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus." Philippians 2:5 NKJV "Set your minds on the things which are above" Colossians 3:2 Also read Philippians 4:8, about keeping your mind on the good things of God.

"We must be especially on guard during times of adversity, in times of personal challenge. When troubles strike, often the first thoughts that come to mind are not higher thoughts; they're not positive thoughts... Right there, we must choose to trust God and not allow ourselves to get down and discouraged or just give up." Joel Osteen Daily Readings from Your Best Life Now.

The difference between winners and losers is they see the trouble and choose to believe in good. Faith is the nearly the same as fear except that it is choosing to believe the good will happen instead of choosing to believe in the inevitability of the bad. You choose: faith or fear.

If it is true or not, that is between you and God. But, consider the possibility. Be open to the potential. And, if you really listen to what God says in the Word, you will hear Him.

You can have anything on earth that you want, once you mentally accept the fact that you can have it. If you want to be successful, begin thinking of yourself as successful. The feeling of being successful has to come first. If you have a deep inner conviction that you will always have all that you need, if you actually feel prosperous, it will be so. The only thing that stands between you and what you want from life is simply the will to pursue it and the faith to believe that it is possible. Only your mind sets your limits. ©2006 by Max Steingart Reproduce freely but maintain © notice

I want to recommend something powerful to you, and even go beyond recommending it. What I'm talking about is a brand new book that just came out this past month. In fact, I have full distribution rights to freely share this powerful Christ-centered book. I have linked it here for you and many are paying $29.95 for this book.

From The Traveler's Gift by Andy Andrews, here is ficticious reply by Cristobal Colon to the question "What did you mean down below when you told your officer that he would find a heart for success?":

"Most people fail at whatever they attempt because of an undecided heart.  Should I? Should I not? Go forward?  Go back? Success requires the emotional balance of a committed heart.  When confronted with a challenge, the committed heart will search for a solution.  The undecided heart searches for an escape... A committed heart does not wait for conditions to be exactly right.  Indecision limits the Almighty and His ability to perfom miracles in your life.  He has put the vision in you -- proceed!  To wait, to wonder, to doubt, to be indecisive is to disobey God."

This section of this amazing book is teaching the main character David about passion.

Without passion on your side, it will be against you.  All of the seven principles of success in this book are already working in your life whether you know it or not.  Let's chose to make passion your champion.

Be blessed,

Entrepreneur for the Kingdom: "Dont Quit........Keep Playing" Michelle's repost of this timeless clasic is wonderful.

I was blessed by this and thought how true it is for those of us called to be funnels of finance into God's Kingdom. Our new perspective is that God already owns it all and He's got us out there collecting it for Him. Thanks Kelly McFadden

A Matter of Perspective This devotional was written by Kelly McFadden Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits at God's right hand in the place of honor and power. Let heaven fill your thoughts. Do not think only about things down here on earth. For you died when Christ died, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God. — Colossians 3:1-3 NLT 2006 marked the 117th consecutive year of the Oxford versus Cambridge golf match. The two teams met in Scotland to play a combined total of almost 720 holes of golf. After the first day, Oxford was down by a score of 4-1, a deficit that seemed near impossible to come back from. In the matches on day two, 7 out of 10 Oxford men would need to win their singles match in order to beat Cambridge. At the end of day two, both teams exhausted, the competition came down to the last two matches. As the last putt sank, the Oxford team members rushed the green to congratulate their final player while the Cambridge team members made their way down to console their teammate. The final score was Cambridge 7½ to Oxford 7½. The weekend ended in a draw. It was the same outcome for both teams, the same score. In the record books, it will show the match as a tie. But as the two teams walked away that day, you would have thought Oxford had won and Cambridge had lost. It was a matter of perspective. What Cambridge saw as a blown lead, Oxford saw as the greatest comeback in history. The Christian’s home is with Christ. This gives a different perspective on our lives here on earth. This letter to the Colossians reminds them to think about the things of heaven. This means to look at things from God’s perspective. This means to looks at the same world, the same materialism, the same pleasures, the same cruelty, the same beauty, but to see it with different eyes. By seeing with God’s eyes, we can have the power to break free from the obsession with self-fulfillment and pleasure, and live a life that helps to serve and love others in a deeper, more meaningful way. This means living life with a perspective that seeks to forgive, not cling to bitterness; seeks to serve, not gain from selfish living; seeks to give, not to have; seeks to love, not to ostracize. For you have died to this life. With God’s perspective and God’s power in your life, you can conquer the present-day worldly struggles and live a life knowing this world has nothing for you, compared to what lies ahead.

In what ways do you need to change the way you are looking at things in your life so that you can see them as God sees them?

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous!
Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the Lord your God
is with you wherever you go.

Joshua 1:9 NASB

God didn't want Joshua to be another Moses.  He would have
left Joshua in Heaven and kept using Moses.  God created each
and every one of us to be who we are.

How can you shine?  How can you be all that God wants you to be?

The Answer is ___"

9 Questions That Will Change Your Life! 

Tim Darnell 

Few will respond to the height of your knowledge,

though many will respond to the depth of your conviction. 

Questions:   

1. Are you willing and committed to being consistently active and patient for as long as fulfilling your purpose takes?  Herein lies one of the most powerful secrets to business, relationships, and life success.  What is your purpose?

 
 
 

2. Ready for more recognition?  The world is excited and willing to give it to you, but it is up to you to walk out on stage.  Are you willing to walk out and take center stage?

 
 
 

3. Wanting amplified finances?  God has millions with your name on it, but you have to trust that he will deliver it, and then follow His direction for your life.  Are you willing to love Him, follow His direction in your life (be obedient), and fully trust Him for as long as it takes?

 
 
 

4. Looking for purpose?  Ask God to fulfill His purpose for your life and He will show you exactly what your specific purpose is.  Will you trust that God is showing you your purpose now?  Will you listen carefully for Him to speak to you and lead you?

 
 
 

5. Properly Prioritize - Hosea 11: 9b.  Can you finally let go of the steering wheel and let God be the pilot?

 
 
 

6. Break up your unplowed ground – Hosea 10:12. You've surrounded yourself with camouflage, rationalizations, fig-leaves, fear, comfort devices, etc.  Unplowed ground can be used for placing new seeds of thought that you will receive from AC, especially as regards abundance and prosperity thinking.  Recognize, like I do, that you have a life-time of learning ahead of you.  Are you willing to break up your unplowed ground and wait for time that he showers righteousness on you?  What is your unplowed ground?

 
 
 
 

7. Are you willing to accept wisdom in your life? – I Corinthians 1:17-31.  Is the message of the cross foolishness or is it the power of God, and what are we going to do about it?

 
 
 
 

8. We all need saving – Hosea 13:4 & Hosea 10:13b.    False gods are everywhere and the masses turn to them everyday – government, job, 401K, portfolio/savings, parents, alcohol, our business, the military, our desires, pleasure, etc.   Are we willing to let God do the saving and not look for some other thing to save us?

 
 
 

9. Each moment we have the choice – II Corinthians 1:18.  Romans tells us that we are joint heirs with Jesus Christ.  Are we going to keep saying "no" to our inheritance?   Are we going to say "no" to our place in history?  Are we going to say "no" to helping others?  Are we going to say "no" to having substantial resources to build God's Kingdom?  Are we going to say "no" to our future success?  Or will we say, "YES" to the power that God through Jesus gives us?
