Living an Above Average Life
God intended for all his children to live an above average life
Usually when someone says to me that I was meant to live an above average life my mind immediately switches gears and I conjure up images of expansive cars, big houses and lots of BLING !!!!
That does not define the term LIVING AN ABOVE AVERAGE LIFE.
The housewife, single father of two, struggling college student and/or individual confined to a wheelchair. God intended for everyone including them to live an extraordinary life.
To live an above average life you will not only want to do your best, but go the extra mile in everything you do. You will want to work, study, or be a remarkable spouse on LEVEL 10.
You don’t have to be an international superstar or great athlete to live the good life. You can do anything with the only the cards you’ve been dealt in life.
If you work in a sweatshop make sure you do the best job then anyone in that sweatshop. Show up to work everyday and early. Establish a good reputation and treat others how you would like to be treated.
If you’re a mother, wife or homemaker; be the best and everything to your family. Do the unexpected for those you love? Husbands, instead of just cutting the grass why don’t you cut the grass and trim the hedges (without being told by your wife). Wives fix your husband lunch in the morning and add a simple note to let him know you still love him. When your husband talks about you he should feel like nobody else can compare to what he has at home.
For me, living an above average life consists of writing the best novel I can and writing something that will make the reader thirst to know more about Jesus.
Don’t settle for anything and being mediocre is a simply unacceptable.
Live that above average life. You deserve nothing less.

Exercise Your Mind, Body & Soul.
I love to walk. Physical activity allows me to clear my mind and gather my thoughts. It fires up my creativity and allows ideas to form in my mind. It is complete euphoria to work up a sweat and release endorphins from my body.
During my walks I usually listen to podcasts from different preachers from around the country. I have TD Jakes, Joyce Meyers and Andy Stanley. Listening to the word of God while I walk plants seeds within my soul that some times hits a nerve.
The best thing about my time outside is when I get to commune with God. This is my opportunity to just praise Him and thank Him for all He has done for me. Also I get to lay any burdens I may be carrying down at His feet.
I will spend an entire 90-minute walk just thanking Him for all that He has done for me. I enjoy combining these two very important activities because it’s a way to exercise not just my body but also my mind and spirit.
You should try it. Go Ahead. Get out of your chair. Step away from the computer and go get that heart pumping. Thank Jesus for all that He has done and continues to do.
BE THANKFUL!!!!

My Vision Board
Today I am going to start to put together my vision board. I’ve never done one before. The only reason I now feel the need to do a vision board is because I need to focus my attention on accomplishing my personal goals.
When I first considered doing a vision board I wondered if they really work. I often watch Oprah and I have heard her talk about vision boards on a number of occasions, but if I create one will it actually attract my success into the realm of my life. Will it make me more focused? Will it drive me? Will it ignite determination from within?
Vision Boards are a form of positive thinking. It’s also biblical. A lot of Christians believe in the belief of speaking your wants/dreams/goals into existence. The only way God can hear you is if you say it out loud. (I do subscribe to that form of thinking.) I speak and talk with God about many different aspects of my life. But I also, want a physical representation that will be a constant reminder to me.
I have a slew of ideas bouncing around my head (and I’m sure these are God given ideas). Unfortunately, life often gets in the way with bills, family and other commitments. I don’t necessarily take the time needed to spend time on my craft, but that all stops today.
I refuse to allow life to pass me by and live with regrets that I couldn’t keep my “Eyes on the Prize” because I know that everything I want is well within my reach.
The very first item that is going to go up on my vision board is NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER. That is the goal I am shooting for. I know that I have it in me to get my name on this list.
This is will be an on-going blog. So if you have a vision board and would like to share what’s on your board. Please leave me a message. I would love to hear what you want for your future.
