Taking Your Faith to the Extreme
Follow @SheilaAgnew
We know that having even
a little faith can move tall mountains, but what happens when you take your
faith to the extreme?
- You become thirsty and your desire to quench this thirst exceeds the pain you may endure during the transition. This tremendous thirst perceives the triumph you are about to experience.
- You get hunger pains and no amount of food with feed this hunger until you feed on the word of God.
Taking your faith to the
extreme is more than a simple request for God to fulfill our basic needs, it is
thirsting and hungering to fulfill the purpose of God’s word. It is the point
at which we become bold. It’s the level when we reach our breaking point.
The breaking point is the
time which you endure through all barriers to complete your assignment, purpose
and calling. Your extreme and unbreakable faith has prevailed.

The LeBron James "Success Factor"
Follow @SheilaAgnew
I believe we
can all learn a lesson by following the LeBron James “Success Factor.” He is a
man with a plan and delivers on the WOW every time. His greatness is
demonstrated in his ability to focus on essential goals to achieve results that
many of us only dream about.
Not only has
LeBron worked extremely hard and long to develop his skills, he has the mental
capacity to block out negativity and surpass his harshest critics’
expectations. It takes an incredible mind
to remain focused on the one goal, the one thing that you want achieve in
your life plan and make it happen in spite of trials and tribulations.
We see
athletes get distracted all the time with drugs, relationships, injuries and
poor life choices. These are young men and women who have worked hard to become
the best of the best, yet miss the mark by taking their eyes off their
goals.
In our everyday
lives we become distracted from our goals and dreams by taking our eyes off the
focus. You don’t have to be an athlete to create a WOW factor in your life, but
we would be well-advised to study how great achievers become successful in
their endeavors. Focus is imperative in finding and mastering the art of living
your purpose. Whatever your goals, stay consistent and diligent to cultivate a
life centered on achieving success.
Lastly, I
want to qualify, I am not a savvy sports fan and truthfully, I am not even a
big LeBron James fan. However, I am a student of studying and learning. When I
watch sports, I look beyond the game and focus on the strength, will and
determination. Don’t be mad because your
team didn’t win. Don’t give up because things did not work out on your personal
endeavors. Get up and start over again. Be committed to be the best of the best.
Divine order contributes to right
outcome.

The Other Side of Valentine's Day
Follow @SheilaAgnew
I received a distress
call the other evening from a dear friend. The gentlemen she had been dating
for a couple of months and become quite fond of, text messaged her that he wanted to
end the relationship. He said that she was ninety percent of what he was looking
for, but the ten percent was a deal breaker, which was travel distance between
their homes. His maximum allowance was twenty-five miles and their distance was
thirty-six miles.
Honestly, I kept my
comments short and brief, suggesting she should simply move on. I saw no point
in wasting time and energy on someone who does not feel you worthy of ten extra
miles past his cut-off distance and texting a breakup. While I certainly understand her devastation
in believing their relationship could be more long term, at some point, we have
to move beyond drama, particularly when there is not a lot of time involved. I
truly believed she did a lot of the right things to grow the relationship, just
with the wrong person.
In actuality, while I was
sorry about the situation, the point of this story is not my friend’s breakup.
It was something she said during the course of the conversation that struck a chord
with me. She expressed that she was now going to spend another Valentine’s Day
alone. While I certainly understand her sentiments particularly in a situation
where the break up is fresh, I encouraged her not to get hung up on one day. If
you are not in a relationship, there is really no need to acknowledge or
celebrate a day that has no benefit to your current situation. Also,
recognizing more serious situations such as loss of a loved one, divorce and
separations due to military service can cause intense feelings of depression,
there are other ways that may be helpful to cope with the loneliness this day may
bring about. Most important is to look for ways to spend the day that is not
focused on what someone does for you, but what you do for yourself. Some
suggestions include.
- Make someone else happy. Consider ways you can bring a smile to others including the elderly, children, domestic violence victims, sick and shut-in. Volunteering will also provide you with a sense of gratitude for what you do have in your life.
- Host a family and friends get together. You will be surprised at the people who would rather not go out to restaurants for dinner. The theme does not have to be Valentine’s Day and ask everyone to bring a dish or beverage.
- Make plans to start or finish a project you have wanted to do for a long time.
- Do something you may not ordinarily do such as book a glamour photo session, get a complete make-over or take a fun art class to stimulate your creativity.
- Don’t look at old pictures, love movies and songs that bring memories to make you feel sad. Watch funny movies or read inspirational books.
It’s important to
remember that you have to live beyond one day and should always focus on things
and people that add value to your life. Above all, my most endearing suggestion
is to spend time with God. With God’s presence we are never alone. Happy You
Day!

A Lesson on Focus from President Barack Obama
“One of the most difficult challenges in
pursuing or living your calling is to remain focused. At times, life itself may be filled with
diversions that distract your focus from your goals. You may encounter many
obstacles in starting and finishing even a simple household or work
project. Imagine the difficulty in
remaining focused with a project as large as your calling! It is difficult, but certainly not
impossible. In fact, remaining focused
to achieve your life purpose is imperative.”
While watching President Barack Obama
delivery the State of the Union address on Tuesday evening, I was reminded that
chapter four of my book, Dear ____, Are You Missing Your Calling? was inspired
by his unique ability to remain focused in the midst of challenge and
adversity. During his two campaigns, I was most intrigued by President Obama’s
self-control and capacity to stay centered on the issues, which eventually won
him the presidency twice. “We can only imagine the complexity of how God placed
the vision in his mind that he could run for President of the United States of
America and even succeed against unimaginable odds.”
While most of us will not likely run for
President of the United States, we are all in a race to pursue our callings and
purposes. Each of our gifts, skills and talents are unique. In order to reach
our God-given potential, we must remain focused. Focus is not a gift or calling, it is a
discipline designed to guide us on a clear path by setting priorities to vigorously
pursue and reach your goals.
We have come to know a few things about
President Obama in the eight years he has been President, but we know less of the intimate twenty-two-year journey
that he walked while pursing the directive of his vision. It took patience,
endurance and confidence to believe he could achieve a position larger than
himself and create a legacy.
It is possible for all of us to reach success
with our individual callings. There is a roadmap for each one of our journeys. In
order remain focused, we must place priority over the things that are most
important and have the most value to our purpose. Essentially, focus requires
consistency and diligence in cultivating your vision. Focus is not an easy
task. I often remind myself to keep a focused attitude by following some of the
suggestions I shared in the book.
- Stay spiritually inspired.
- Reduce or eliminate things and people that distract you.
- Boost your energy with healthy foods and exercise to remain mentally alert.
- Make a commitment to limit distractions (phone, social media..) to 1-2 hours a day.
- Pray and meditate day and night.
