Daily Life Journey

We are being conditioned and exposed. Our souls need a break! 

Where are we headed is 2025?

Revive in 25! That's what I plan to do - what about you? After a long, difficult year in 24, I'm ready for some fresh perspective and new manna! Come along for the Journey - join me - better still, take one of your own.

There’s a version of life that co-exists with the one you most often live – a life rooted in the Kingdom of God where things actually make sense – where you win more than you lose – where you can actually find some peace in the crazy storms raging around us. One where your destination in life is clear, and the journey taking you there is worth waking up for.

You don’t belong here – you’re only passing through, and as such, if we can learn to put things in proper perspective, we’ll be less inclined to get sideways over the small, daily, mundane mud holes we keep stepping into.

Helen Keller wrote, “Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. Security does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than exposure.”A new year brings so many opportunities to reach your fullest potential. The old year is gone – a distant memory, good or bad. So what goals do you want to achieve this year? Do you have a plan for how’ll you’ll get there?

As long as we live in a (albeit struggling) democracy with most of our freedoms still in tact – we actually do still have the freedom of choice. Yet, the vast majority of the time we blame someone, or some situation, or some institution – not taking responsibility for our own actions – it’s really us – our choices, or unwillingness to choose – that is we blame, for our circumstances. What is one thing you could stop doing right now that would change the circumstances?

There's a lot of SAD people right now. The holidays are tough on a lot of people. If you’re having a fairly calm, normal holiday time – count your blessings – really. There are so many that are struggling.Some people are just SAD, and don’t know why? Is that you? SAD can also stand for – Seasonal Affective Disorder. One of the first best ways to deal with it is to talk about it. If you're feeling sad and overwhelmed, talk to someone. Talking is a great place to start the healing.

Get alone with God and re-group. Don’t keep sitting with the chaos, holding onto the heartache, and burying the disappointments of this season. Life is hard enough as it is. If we're going to win this war for our souls, we need all of the resources we can get our hands on.

What’s holding you back?What’s in the way?What has to go?What’s between you and the “you” you hope to be? Want to be? Finding the answers to questions like these require effort – participation – a process.Time to sit with God and ask; What are you after – where do you want to take me? God loves our questions;but are we willing to receive His answers?

In order for change to happen – we have to get outside of our comfort zones. The world is not going to conspire to change your life for you. Here’s my challenge – for you, and for me, for 2024 – let’s get outside of our comfort zones. Look within yourself and decide if you’re willing to commit to this journey of change – whether you’re 34 or 84. If you want life to be different – it can be. It will be.

The studio lights are on, the daily life Journey podcast resumes; it's time for a new leg on this journey.

After five years wandering through the wilderness, God has called me back to the studio for a season to pursue my mission of Encouragement. So here we go, journeying through the daily life together, again.

We all do it. Most of us multiple times a day. Some say we're addicted. We probably are. I'm talking about Face Book ... and that hot little "like" button. What if we "lived" it too? What if you pondered deeply all of those little sayings we "like" throughout the day, moving them into action?

Is what you do who you are? "...what if what you really did was to bring joy, happiness, peace, hope, kindness ... to a struggling, hurting, confused world?," is the question in this CoachCast. "It's all about the intention you bring to life ... the mindset ... and even the needy can become givers if they get enough love, and healing, and hope."

"... all of those emotions; feelings you are having about those unsettling situations in your life are just that - feelings. It's your mind reacting to what is at hand. Experts say one of the greatest contributors to our ill health today is stress. (Stress is a feeling too, by the way.) Perhaps there's better way to deal with life."

Life comes at us so fast that we struggle to retain it - some studies suggest that we lose up to 90% ... That's just one great reason to write down the events of your life. "I know what you're thinking: So writing a few sentences a day may keep me healthier longer, but so will eating lima beans! Why should I bother journaling when I've already got too much on my plate?” Well tune in - maybe this will help change your mind.

A personal philosophy for living is essential to living a great life. Getting by is not a philosophy. Daily practices like healthy eating, positive thinking, prayer and meditation, and conscious living all combine to establish a healthy personal philosophy. Learn how you can improve yours.
