You Are A Leader
05/01/23 • 17 min
Leadership is about understanding who you are and how others see you. Leaders must remain true to their character, and strive to uphold the values that guide their life.
A leader must have a good sense of the overall layout of their own life and have the ability to use that layout to guide their decisions as they journey through every life situation. This involves understanding where they are, where they are going, and which paths will get them there.
"We can make our plans, but the LORD determines our steps. (Proverbs 16:19)

Fake Positivity Affects Your Health
Not all women tell the whole truth when it comes to their health. If they fail to meet the high standard of healthy living they've set for themselves, they are mentally beating themselves to a pulp but they smile and say they're okay. If they had one lousy cheat day, they label themselves as failures, but they pretend it's no big deal. They are critical of their body because it doesn't look like it did ten years ago, yet they tell everybody they are secure in their own skin. To force a positive outlook on pain or disappointment is to encourage a person to keep silent about their struggles. Having words to describe how we feel, and facial expressions to emote (yup that can mean crying) help us regulate our stress response.
By the way, if you had one lousy cheat day. It's not the end of the world. It's happened to millions of other women, including me. Sometimes the thought of eating another kale salad with Apple Cider viniagrette dressing is JUST NOT appetizing. Sometimes you just want a chocolate bar.
“I couldn’t be fake about anything even if I tried. My facial expressions would never allow it.” (Quote by Goodvibes)
Philippians 4:8
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

Our topic for today is all about making things happen.
Taking a passive approach to living is equivalent to riding a bicycle with your hands in your pockets. There is no way it will work! The decision to live the life you envision rests solely with you. It's important to be proactive and make things happen instead of waiting for things to happen. You will always have God's support and guidance, but he cannot work unless you work too.
"Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth". Proverbs 10:4
