Inspiration Comes by Doing!

It's week 7 of the Thintuition Competition (www.thintuition.com) and the heat is on.
The red team vs. the blue team in a triathalon! Aren't you glad you read about it here
before it airs? (Sunday June 3rd on ME-TV, Ch. 23- or Comcast channel 223)

I can't tell you too much without giving the show away, but I can tell you this much.
Everytime a contestant experiences something they've never done or are afraid to do,
it's a life changing experience, not only in their life, but the lives of their teammates as well.
This is a life changing event and I am simply honored to be hosting it!

There's one contestant (Let's see if you can guess who it is!) who is afraid of the water.
They can't swim and literally afraid of even putting their feet in the water!)
I know you can't wait to see what happens, and I don't want to spoil it for you,
but I will tell you this. They actually get in the water and do something they've
never done before, and it isn't swimming! You will not believe this.

There's only one way to find out, and that is to tune in!
This contestant has taught me soooooooo much in such a short perioud of time,
I cannot begin to express how much of a difference it's made in my life.
It's taught me that we can no longer say WHAT WE CANNOT DO,just
because we've never done it! How can you say you can't do something,
if you haven't actually tried it? How? It's impossible to know.

You can only say for certainty that you cannot do something,once you've tried
it a few times. Most often, if you try again and again, you will be able to do it.
It's only with determination that things begin to turn around in your life.
So the next time you think you can't do something, think of this contestant
who tried to do something they thought they couldn't, but because of our
FAITH in this contestant, and their WILLINGNESS to try, it was done!
It's pretty much the same with you.

So what is it in your life that you say you can't do?

Happy Mother's Day!

As we celebrate the Mothers of the world, let us be reminded
of how motherhood operates in our daily lives.


Just as a mother nurtures her children, her life and that of others,
so must we do the same.
We can't expect a child to be born and raise itself.


Neither can we expect the ideas that are given to us to nurture themselves.
Surely some of those ideas sound good in our heads, but they look and feel better on paper. Writing down ideas and plans are the beginning of seeing those dreams come to life.


Most people are afraid to move on those dreams because of what others might say.
Truth is, people are going to talk anyway, so you may as well give them something good to talk about.


Counselors in school may mean well, but they're not always right.
Sometimes parents have your best interest at heart and really want
to see you do well, but because of their past experiences, they're afraid
of you failing, so they place doubt in your mind.


The best time to practice doubt is when it jepordizes your health or life,
otherwise you've got to take a chance in life. No risk. No reward.


So for all who've thought about starting something but haven't,
keep this thought in mind.
Most Mothers don't put their children out in the cold.
So don't put your dream on hold, or out in the cold just
because you don't know where clothing will come from to keep it warm.


That's where you must begin to rely on FAITH.
Do something DAILY to fortify your faith.

Build your FAITH LIBRARY by listening and watching
those programs that instill a faith in you so fierce,
you couldn 't fail if you wanted to.

That's what Mother's Do. So should you!

Happy Mother's Day!
