You're Going to Have to Fight For It

I do not believe for a minute that anything worthwhile will ever come easy.

It's going to take some elbow grease, hard work, and sacrifice. At a minimum.

And we should really want it that way, because more than likely, it will last much longer had it just been given to us. I liken it to the scenario of a man who goes fishing. That man is more likely to appreciate the prize after he's been out at the lake all day waiting and preparing for those fish than if someone were to give him a boatload. Would he take them if someone gave them for free? Most people would, but most of us wouldn't appreciate them like we would if it was our own blood, sweat, and tears.

Suffice it to say that we're going to have to fight for the things we want in life. And we cannot give up until the mission is accomplished. "...in all these things we are more than conquerors through God who loved us (Romans 8:37), which means we can do anything with God on our side.

Keep Him close.

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.
