After reacting with confusion to another opportunity, one of my advisors said something that stuck with me: “You always seem confused when something good happens to you.” And she was right. The truth is, when you’ve spent enough time in environments that make you feel small, recognition can feel unfamiliar. You start questioning opportunities instead of simply receiving them. But I’m learning that sometimes the opportunities showing up are simply a reflection of the work, consistency, and effort people have been seeing, even when you struggle to see it yourself.

A lot of men are moving fast but going nowhere. They're working, providing, showing up — but something on the inside still feels unfinished. These 3 sessions give you a taste of the full 14-step journey found in my book A Man's Journey from Pain to Purpose. This free course is built for that man. Click the Classroom at the top.

GM, fellas, and l pray you all are having a good great morning. For this is the day that the Lord has made and l will (make a choice) to rejoice and be glad in it. Today might be a challenging day for you, or you may know someone who's having a challenging day. Well, be encouraged because you can change your day by what you say out of your mouth. How can l do that???? You are/were MADE from GOD stock (in His image & likeness), so what would God do if He was you in your situation(s)? How would He respond to that thing? Yes, you got it, He would speak and declare His word against that situation(s) or circumstance(s) and since God is in you, you have that same capability to speak with His word to change your day into what you need and expect it to happen for you, while giving Him glory, praise and thanksgiving for it. Therefore, on today and any day, it doesn't matter what it looks like. We are speaking spirits, declare what God has said until you see what He has said for your life. You do this by meditating on His word every day, and then you will be energized with the power of His word to speak those things that be not as they are, Romans 4:17. #SpeakTheWordOnly I speak favor of blessings and Psalm 91 over you all today...

‼️What is the vision for your grandchildren?‼️ If can’t answer this now, your vision is not big enough. All through scripture, God references Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. God gave the vision to Abraham and carried Isaac, who then passed it down to Jacob who later was named Israel, which is where we get “The Children of Israel”. He man, God’s vision for you is so much bigger than you and will extend pass you and your generation to your children and grandchildren’s generation. I am begging you, I’m challenging you, if you have not figured out what the Heavenly Father put you here to accomplish, get in His presence and His Word long enough to find out. And I promise, He will reveal the vision to you and the Holy Spirit who is sent to help you and teach you is in you to help you walk it out. ““I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations.”” ‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭1‬:‭5‬ ‭NLT‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/116/jer.1.5.NLT “For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.” ‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭29‬:‭11‬ ‭NLT‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/116/jer.29.11.NLT
