Take the Next Step... = Get comfortable, outside of your comfort zone. Move in new places, try new things, and be bold.



A person taking a stand is not easily missed—we are drawn to boldness, to people exhibiting courage. We all desire to be courageous, to be bold. What battle are you presently facing that requires boldness? Find your courage, take a stand and create a beautiful statement.



Sometimes, it’s necessary to sit down, soak it all in, and take a moment to stop and think. But when the time comes to stand up, what makes some move forward boldly while others back down? The difference is in one’s passion—what are you passionate about?

Valorie Burton’s 3 Pillars of Success | MWM
Live Your Purpose, Grow Through Challenges, And Have Joy = Success is the harmony of purpose, resilience, and joy. When you understand your purpose, persevere and grow through challenges, and find joy in the journey, you will find success. 



What is Success to You? | MWM
Find Your Purpose = Success is knowing your purpose in life. Until we know why we are here, how can we know if we are successful? Our calling or mission demands that we know what our purpose is. You can find your purpose by figuring out what your passion is and what your strengths are. There are two great days in a person’s life: the day they are born and the day they discover why. 

Your Highest Return Comes from Your Strengths | MWM
Always Be Growing = Success is about growing to reach our maximum potential. God’s gift to us is our potential, and our gift back to Him is what we do with that potential. Discover your purpose, and know what your strengths are ... Then focus your time and energy on those strengths. Grow in the areas where you are gifted. Grow into tomorrow.


Sow Seeds of Others’ Success | MWM
Be Externally Focused = Success is about sowing seeds that benefit others. This means constantly and intentionally adding value to other people—being externally focused. Invest in yourself so that you can invest in others. Do you sow seeds for the benefit of others?


SUCCESS IN ADDING VALUE | MWM
https://youtu.be/iLnUiJr34G0
Pour Into Others = Success is sowing seeds that benefit others. As we are living our life, are we sowing seeds and adding value to others? By having an external focus and adding value to others, the return is far greater than you can ever imagine. But, you will only get this return if you give into others.
By Adding Value to Others, You'll Find Success! = As you are living your life, are you sowing seeds that benefit others? Are you adding value to others? Are you making others feel better? If you help others, add value to others, and are intentional with others, then there will be more that will come back to you—success—as you continue to pour into others. The seeds you sow give back to you. You’ll always find success in adding value to others.


Until You Know Why You’re Here, How Can You Know If You’re Succeeding? | MWM
https://youtu.be/V6hVuNKZ93I
Understand Your Purpose = What is success? Success starts with understanding your purpose. You can’t know if you are succeeding in life, until you know why you are here. You can discover your purpose by thinking about your passions and strengths. What are you gifted in? What are you passionate about?


The Only Guarantee the Next Day Will be Better… | MWM
https://youtu.be/Koq6INroexI
Always Be Growing = Success is about growing to reach our potential. God’s gift to us is our potential, and our gift back to Him is what we do with that potential. Discover your purpose, know what your strengths are, and focus your time and energy on growing in those areas. You get the highest return in life from doing what you are good at. 


Invest Value in Others and You Will Both Reap Rewards | MWM
https://youtu.be/TKsj2GF1FAw
Be Externally Focused = Success is sowing seeds that benefit others. Are you constantly, intentionally adding value to other people? Think of others. Be externally focused instead of internally focused. There is a reaping and harvest that will come back to you when you pour into others. Invest in yourself so you can invest in other people. 

================


Success isn't a destination we reach in a day.
Success isn't a destination we reach in a day. It's a journey that requires consistent effort and perseverance. So let's be intentional about our goals and choose to embrace the uphill battle, knowing that each step brings us closer to our dreams. 




Change Is In The High Road = Life change really happens on the high road. When you take the high road, you turn the other cheek, are kind to those who are not kind to you, and go the second mile. When you travel through life, travel high, travel long—go the second mile.
