TAKEN FROM SISTER HURST BLOG, SPOKE TO ME; HOPE IT SPEAKS TO YOU

God is not a respecter of persons but He is a respecter of principals. He has plans for everyone to accomplish great things. Don’t believe anything other than Jer. 29:11(Amplified Bible)–For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome.

Here are a few principals to help you start today!



1. Work Like it is up to you and pray like it is up to God! Work hard and pray hard! God wants to help you more than you want His help.


2. Have a concise plan of where and what you want to accomplish. Write it down in detail. Then write down how you think you will accomplish it.


3. Do 5 things every day that drives you in that direction.


4. ASK for help. Surround yourself with a team of people who share your passion.


5. Contact someone who has already done what you want and ask for them to coach you. Be willing to do what they ask.


6. Align yourself with the authorities in your life.


7. Be grateful for every opportunity that comes your way and give 110% like it is where you already want to be.


8. Take risk. Sometimes when you live on the edge you will fall off but you will miss 100% of the opportunities that you never try! The worst thing that could happen is most likely where you already are.


9. Take serious action today. Don’t wait one more day!


10. Do what you love! Most likely your gift is in someway connected!

It is the only way things will stick to this old brain. I do mean old brain....
