It’s Monday. A new week is in front of you. And right now… you have a choice. You can step into it with confidence… or you can let doubt hold you back. Because let’s be honest… Life doesn’t always feel steady. Things shift. Plans change. Uncertainty shows up when you least expect it. But that doesn’t mean you have to be shaken. The Bible says, “Be strong and courageous… for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” — Joshua 1:9 That means no matter what comes your way… You’re not facing it alone. God is with you. He’s strengthening you. He’s guiding your steps. So today… Stand firm in your faith. Stand firm in your purpose. Stand firm knowing God has already gone before you. Start small. Think big. And refuse to quit. Because what’s ahead of you is greater than what’s behind you. If you’re standing firm today, comment “STAND FIRM” 💪 🙏 And if you’re not 100% sure that you would go to heaven if you died today, and you’d like to know for certain, I would love to chat with you and explain God’s simple plan of salvation. No pressure just a caring conversation about the greatest hope we can ever have. Message me if you would like to have a 1:1 with me. Don Schaeffer

I gave my handyman a to-do list, but he only did jobs 1, 3, and 5. Turns out he only does odd jobs.

For years, I threw my worst punches at the person in the mirror. Every creative decision became evidence I wasn't good enough. Every client revision felt like proof I'd never make it. The voice in my head had better aim than any critic ever could. Then I got tired of being my own worst enemy. I started questioning that voice the same way I'd question a bad brief. Where's the evidence? What would I tell a friend facing this? Why am I accepting thoughts I'd never accept from anyone else? Cognitive behavioral therapy taught me to treat negative thoughts like rough drafts. You don't have to publish every idea that crosses your desk. I surrounded myself with people who saw possibility where I saw problems. Mentors who'd been where I was going. Creatives who celebrated wins without keeping score. The shift wasn't instant. But slowly, I started rooting for myself instead of against myself. If you're reading this and recognizing that familiar sting of self-sabotage, know this: the person who's been your harshest critic can become your strongest advocate. 🎯 I'm building connections on Skool with driven creatives who believe in sharing knowledge without keeping tabs. People who understand that lifting others doesn't dim your own light. Looking for those rare humans who lead with curiosity, not competition. If that sounds like you, let's connect. ✨ Ready to stop fighting yourself and start fighting for your vision?

It’s Sunday. A day to pause. A day to reflect. A day to give thanks. Because no matter what this past week looked like… God has been faithful. Through the highs. Through the lows. Through the moments you didn’t even realize He was working… He was there. The Bible says, “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord!” — Psalm 150:6 That means if you’re breathing today… You have a reason to praise. Not because everything is perfect… but because God is still good. The Bible also says, “Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever.” — Psalm 106:1 So today… Thank Him for His grace. Thank Him for His provision. Thank Him for the strength to make it through another week. And thank Him for what He’s about to do next. Because your story isn’t over. God is still moving. Still working. Still blessing. So lift your hands. Lift your voice. And give Him the praise He deserves. If you’re thankful today, comment “THANK YOU JESUS” 🙌 🙏 And if you’re not 100% sure that you would go to heaven if you died today, and you’d like to know for certain, I would love to chat with you and explain God’s simple plan of salvation.
