How To Reach Your Dreams
How To Reach Your Dreams = Imagination allows people to see themselves not only as they are, but as they imagine themselves to be. Imagination, paired with determination, allows you to reach your dreams. 

Imagination
Imagination calls us to see things as they could be rather than as they are. When our imagination is ticking, we are leaving behind all our perceived and uninvited limitations, and we are reaching for things unseen, things we wholeheartedly believe can “be,” things that already “are” in our minds. When you go throughout your day today, be aware of your response to the world around you. Are you more often asking yourself, “Why?” or are you instead boldly venturing to ask, “Why not?!”

Be a 'Why Not?' Person

Have you ever hit a wall and thought, "I wonder what is on the other side." Allow your imagination to go and dream about your next chapter. That's the best part about imagination, there are no set boundaries - dream on!

Imagination

Imagine
You probably get asked this a lot, where do you imagine yourself in five to ten years? Do you remember when you were a kid and it seemed like your imagination ran freely and there were no limits to where it could go? As we get older we seem to lose that ability to imagine. What can you imagine for yourself? Take five minutes today to answer that question!

Believe in 'More'

When you stop and take a look around, it is incredible all the discoveries you will see. Those discoveries happened because people took a moment and imagined why the world would be better with them in it. Your imagination is a beautiful thing that you should never take for granted! So next time you look at something, imagine what it could be and go after it.

Security and Assurance

"Your heavenly Father already knows perfectly well what you need and he will give it to you if you give him first place in your life and live as he wants you to."  Matthew 6:33 (LB)

"Your security is not in your bank account; your security is in the Lord. If God turns off one faucet, he can turn on another."


Many of us act like spiritual orphans. We forget that we have a heavenly Father who already knows what we need.  He's just waiting for us to ask.  He will provide.  Does God take care of little birds?  They don't worry. Human beings are the only things in all creation that worry. Everything else trusts the heavenly Father and creator to care for their needs.


"He gives food to those who trust Him.  He never forgets His promises." (Psalm 111:5 LB) 


How much do you trust God?  Worry is really just a form of atheism.  Every time you worry, you're saying, "It all depends on me." That's just not in the Bible.

You must trust God with your life.  Today's verse says, "If you give him first place."  Why?  Because as long as you love anything more than God that thing or person or item will become a source of anxiety. 


"Don't put your hope in wealth which is so uncertain. But put your hope in God who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment." (1 Timothy 6:17) You must always remember -- your security is not in your bank account; your security is in the Lord. If God turns off one faucet, he can turn on another.  If he turns off one job, he can turn on another.  You must seek the Lord. 


The book of Romans says God sent his son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross for you to pay for your salvation.  If God loves you enough to send His own son to die for you, don't you think He loves you enough to take care of your bills?  Don't you realize that any other problem is minor by comparison? He solved your biggest problem when he saved you. The bottom line is this:  Are you going to believe God to do what He says He will do?  And are you going to believe him enough to do what he tells you to do?

Pray Without Ceasing = Pray without ceasing. Instead of setting aside time to talk to God, have ongoing, continual conversations with God—not formal, not long, not complicated, just from your heart—where you are, what you're thinking, what you're seeing, and what you're encountering at that moment.

The In-Built Need We All Have | MWM
Listening Is The Key To Connecting = Listening is a powerful tool for effective communication, but it's more challenging than it seems. Everyone has a deep need to feel seen, heard, and understood. To truly connect with others, it's not enough to just listen—you must also show that you're genuinely engaged and attentive.




The Key to True Connection | MWM
Listen With An Open Heart = The key to connecting with people is to be a good listener. If you truly listen, you will win their heart. Listening will create a connection in your relationships that makes a difference. When you listen with an open heart, you are showing people that you truly care.



See Through the Eyes of Others | MWM
Ask Good Questions = The second growth practice is to listen daily to broaden your perspective. It is important for leaders to see through the eyes of other people. Ask your team questions and listen! You don’t learn by talking, only by listening and then asking good questions. 
#listen



Listen To Broaden Your Perspective = Listen daily to broaden your perspective. You don't grow by talking, but instead by listening. It's important as a leader to see things through the eyes of others. This growth happens by listening to others and asking good questions, through hearing others talk about the things you need learn as you continue your growth journey.

UNDERSTOOD
https://youtu.be/Z453IOFOr6w
Listen and Understand = People need to be understood. There is nothing that makes someone feel understood like another person quietly listening to them. Listen to people, don't talk and interrupt them—let others speak and be heard. If you want to feel understood and known, find someone to listen to you.



Less Direction and More Connection = Are the people around you silent? It may very well be because you are not listening to what they have to say. When you are listening, you are the silent one—you are asking questions, but then you are quiet awaiting an answer. And it is then that you will discover how much those around you have to say, to contribute. You just need to hear them out!
