Give What You Want To Receive

Give what you want to receive...  Thinking on this I thought of investing.
 
What Is an Investment?
An investment is an asset or item acquired with the goal of generating income or appreciation. Appreciation refers to an increase in the value of an asset over time. When an individual purchases a good as an investment, the intent is not to consume the good but rather to use it in the future to create wealth. An investment always concerns the outlay of some asset today—time, money, or effort—in hopes of a greater payoff in the future than what was originally put in. -Investopedia by James Chen
 
Spiritual investments work along the same lines, but we invest the goods or items by placing them into God’s hands. We can expect a return on it because the Bible stated, “Give and I give it back to you, pressed down shaken together running over...
Meaning you will get more back than what you gave. 
 
This also enacts the law of reaping and sowing. 
 
So, if you want more of something, invest what you have with faith, knowing you will get a return. 
If I want respect, I have to show it, and that’s sowing. Money, quality time with family, followers on social media...
 
I have to invest what I want. And trust the return is coming back better than what I put in. 

Reflecting After An Accomplishment

Reflecting after the tips from #UnBlockYourself 49
Today I reached a personal goal, from 227 to under 200 lbs!
Some of the things I did to accomplish it:
I used a vision board program on my phone to keep the goal in front of me
I also mentally broke it down to smaller pieces to make milestones to celebrate. 220, 215, 210, 205, 200…
This is something I was able to accomplish with the help of the Lord, my family, and encouragement of my friends!
 
Here are the tips to accomplish your goals...

Apply Your Strength

Apply Your Strength 
We all have positive aspects embedded in our personalities. They may vary throughout your circle, but everyone has something to bring to the table. 
 
Unfortunately, we spend so much time focused on the not-so-strong areas, that we forget to use the strong things we have in our day to day routines. 
 
Today let’s use the strengths we have to make it a great day for everyone. Use your talents and gifts to increase in depth, duration, and frequency. 
Depth, interactions with you make lives even better
Duration, quality time with you increases so the person can be in a state of learning for longer periods of time
Frequency, encounters with you happen more often, so the increases in each section builds better and much stronger connections. 
 
We want to build strength for every relationship, but start with God and family. And whoever you want a deeper shared impact with. 

Move Towards Acquisition

Move Towards Acquisition 
 
There is nothing you can acquire without making a move towards it. 
Nisekoi Ep 15 Marie says this: “There is nothing you can acquire without making a move on your own.”
 
From acts of violent aggression (which is not good), to something being given to you, you have to make a move towards it to get it. And it has to be accepted for it to become yours. 
 
You have to follow the rules. 
Rules of engagement in acquisition. You communicate and interact with the vision and move towards acquiring it by paying the price. 
 
If you go a more negative route, you will fall into the rules of entanglement. You skip the price and take it. You will see a lot of negative results because of your actions to acquire what you wanted. 
 

Wonder Twin Powers Activate!

Wonder Twin Powers Activate!
 
Do you remember the wonder twins?
They were a team where one could be any animal, and the other could any form of water. 
 
What got me thinking about these two was they were special. They solved problems together by making the most of each other’s gift in a combination that would work. 
 
Even if you feel that you aren’t the go-to player on your team, you are on the team for a reason and you are needed for the team to move forward. 
 
If you don’t feel like your much to the team, you may not be. You may be blocking your greatness, thinking you can’t do anything. 
The label you give yourself also becomes your limit. 
A team is like a chain, and a chain is as good as its weakest link. 
If that’s you, invest in yourself, you are worth it. Find a mentor, get out your comfort zone, plan out your growth. 
For your team, build them up by seeing how you can help them become better. 
 
The wonder twins had to make use of their very different gifts. Each by themselves could not accomplish hardly anything. They had to stick together and use each other to activate. 

Treasure Seekers

Treasure Seekers
"For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." - Matt 6:21
 
Have you ever noticed that the things we consider our treasure, pretty much will be the center of our lives?
 
Look at what and where you spend most of your money. Normally if I can follow the receipts, then more than likely I can tell you where your heart is. This is why marketing is so important to the social media world.
 
If they can help you form your opinion, and shape the way you spend, your heart will follow the trends that they set to go with your spending habits.
 
Control the ads, control the spending, control the trends, control the people.
 
Good news though, you control what you allow in. You control what your treasure is. You control you, and no one can manipulate that unless you surrender it to someone else.

Small Called to Greatness

Small called to greatness
Nothing hurts like feeling helpless in a situation, especially when you know there is a wrong happening right in front of you.
 
At times like this we can feel small, but life has a funny way of turning the underdog into the victor when the time is right.
 
If you look throughout the Bible and even all of history you’ll find time after time not-so-great people doing extraordinary things with their life.
 
3 things that take a small person to greatness
know who you are, and want to be.
Know what you want. A goal to obtain.
Know what stirs others to action. And how they can help you.

Phase 10 and Underlying Conditions

Phase 10 and underlying conditions
Phase 10 is a game where everyone playing gets dealt the same amount of cards, and the object is to go through all 10 phases. Some will advance quickly, and some will get stuck in a certain phase while they watch others go to the next phase.
 
What’s interesting is that we are all playing the same game, but we are also playing our own individual games at the same time. Life has us at the table playing together but remember we may be at different phases, so be kind to another’s point of view.
 
In reality, each phase we play will have a few stuck here, and some others stuck at a different phase in their life. But to get through it (life), try to be aware of the underlying conditions, the things that you may need to take care of before going into the next phase.
 
We tend to try to treat the symptoms, instead of taking care of the underlying condition, which is the main problem.
 
Debt - we get 3 jobs, but still fall behind because the increase in income did not take care of how we were spending.
 
Relationships - we jump from relationship to relationship looking for the perfect person, but the underlying condition is that we are imperfect, and when someone points it out to us we blow up and leave them.
 
Substance abuse - we temporarily drown out a problem, when the underlying condition is a whole in our heart that needs to be filled.
 
We have to have a high altitude view of our problems to see the underlying conditions, and dealing with the root of the problems will advance to the next phase quicker, with more power, wisdom, and strong character to handle whatever the next phase holds.
 
So my suggestion is to get with the One who sits high and looks low and ask Him to show you how to take care of things!
