An Inside Job

Success begins inside then goes out.
How many successful people do we know who can say...

"I started on the bottom, but now I'm here?"

I can guarantee you some things regarding the ones who can say that. They didn't get and remain there on their looks, their wealth, their connections, their athleticism, none of that. Not one of them stays on top from merely having things like that, because although those things may give a person access, they don't give a person respect. And respect, ladies and gentlemen, is vital to success. 

Self-respect is about how we feel about ourselves from the inside out and that will determine how people react to us. Do people look up to us? Do we have integrity (honesty)? Moral character? A solid spiritual foundation? If not, we're not really successful and we need to start doing what I wrote about in a previous article about digging deep, to figure out some things about who we are. That is why wealth and fame aren't enough.

The bottom line, is that we all have to lay our heads down at some point. Are we ok with our thoughts? There's no getting around who we are. We're with ourselves 24/7 and we have to face ourselves. If we don't like what's looking back at us, then that's not success either. 

Success is being happy and fulfilled with who we are inside. It's making a connection with God and running everything by Him through prayer and supplication (strong petitions). That's what helps us establish our connection and relationship with God. He will always guide us. 

Once we love who we are in the inside and God is good with us, then everything we touch will turn into gold in due season. Success starts on the inside and it continues to be an inside job no matter what level of elevation we go to. 

We must remember that.

Protecting My Peace - Day 98 - Momentum and Movement, That’s What's Up

Click to listen to current podcast episode. “Never Giving Up” are power-words — strong affirmations that give us momentum and movement. That’s what’s up. We can do so much more in our lives when we have momentum and movement. It’s about standing, literally and not sitting or laying around feeling sorry for ourselves. I used to do that once upon a time and that sorrowful thinking is for the birds. We don’t have to be down. We can get up and get going even if we start small. In fact, I love starting small, because it helps set a firm foundation of habits and routines. Momentum and movement will help us get and maintain a position of strength to do what God says we can do.

Protecting My Peace - Day 96 - Disciplining Ourselves for Next Level Greatness

Click to listen to today's podcast episode. When it comes to next level greatness, we have to know that applies to us, not just everyone else. Do you know what God has for you? Do you? He has GREATNESS for you. Yes, YOU -- all of us. It's about doing what you can do and only you can do. You are the only one with your DNA -- none of us. is the same Yet, even when we're feeling down, discouraged, and out, those emotions are only temporary. None of us has it all together. Sometimes I procrastinate and put things off when I know I should be doing better. Yet, I am not as diligent and disciplined as I can be sometimes. Like when it comes to working out, I delay it, because I don't like it anymore. And although I love reading the bible, I haven't been reading it as often as I should lately. Yes, I, Sharon, the Faith Coach, do not do the things I'm supposed to do when I'm supposed to do them. And that my dear friends should not come as a shock to no one. It certa

Protecting My Peace - Day 95 - We Have to Stop Giving Away Our Power

Click to listen to today's podcast episode. Are you giving away your power? Are you letting people take control over our lives? If so, it’s time to stop operating like that. If we’re letting anyone influence us to the point that it’s causing us emotional pain or taking our peace, we have to move away from such people. It doesn’t matter if it’s in a personal or professional environment. Stay positive and productive in the process though, because dealing with challenges are part of the life process. Nevertheless, we can “fight” for our right for peace and respect. We just fight smart and continue to know who we are, especially who we are in Christ Jesus.
