When I do this, I redirect my attention away from worries that can be all-consuming and redirect my focus to God’s promises. This process is continual and will take work, but I promise you that it is well worth your effort. 3/3 Screenshot this and set it as your daily reminder.

When you find yourself thinking poorly, speak what you want to think about. For me, when I start to get bogged down with the worries of life, I’ll use my words to remind myself of God’s promises. #WinnersMinute 2/3

If left unchecked, our minds will return to negative thoughts like a moth to a flame. Defeating these negative tendencies is a hurdle every person faces, but it is possible to get a handle on your thought life. #WinnersMinute 1/3

One way you can let your thoughts draw you toward success is by turning off electronic devices and reclaiming silence. Dream about where your life could head. Imagination has the power to take you there; just give yourself the silence you need to let it happen. #WinnersMinute 3/3

On top of that, the constant chatter of outside input drowns out the one thing that has the power to boost your success in life exponentially: the power of your imagination. #WinnersMinute 2/3

The more social media feeds, entertainment outlets, and various news channels are a part of your daily input, the more you allow them to plant thought patterns in your head that may be counter to your own personal belief system. #WinnersMinute 1/3

That means you don’t need to tell your children how much of a problem they are; tell them what they can become. Try the words “You can be a good listener” instead of “You never listen to me.” #WinnersMinute 2/3

Parents, when your children are frustrating you, don’t change your speech to match your frustrations. Guard the words you speak over your children for they are listening to what you say. Your words are creating a mental map for what they should expect out of themselves. 1/3

I’m not suggesting you can’t talk about your concerns—but talking them through with a trusted friend or advisor is much different than complaining all day long. Choose your words wisely for the words you speak today frame the world you’ll step into tomorrow. #WinnersMinute 3/3

On the other hand, if you keep your mouth filled with what you are grateful for and words that uplift, you can walk higher and stand taller through whatever situation you face. #WinnersMinute 2/3

Your words matter. When you understand how important this truth is, you’ll recognize that continually talking about how frustrated, worried, or sad you are will get you nowhere. You’ll stay stuck in that agitation. #WinnersMinute 1/3

Turning apologies into gratitude takes the focus off what you have done and puts it the good things the other person is doing… which is a great way to shed shame and increase appreciation for each other. #WinnersMinute 3/3 Like this post if it blessed you!

However, there is a better way that this can be handled. Instead of saying “I’m sorry,” say: “Thank you.” Thank people for waiting for you or thank them for overlooking your mistake. Thank them for their patience and thank them for listening. #WinnersMinute 2/3

Constant apologizing within relationships can be wearing on both parties. The intent can be good—you want to acknowledge a mistake or recognize a disappointment that you caused. #WinnersMinute 1/3

As Martin Luther King noted, “Love has within it a redemptive power…and there is a power there that eventually transforms individuals.” #WinnersMinute 3/3 Save this post for when you need to read it again.

Long-term avoidance is less preferable than healing—and healing will only happen with prayer. Pray for your enemies. Ask God to show them how much He loves them—and then ask Him to show you how you can embrace unconditional love for those you don’t like. #WinnersMinute 2/3

When you are hurting from other people’s actions, it can be tempting to shut them out of your mind and avoid interaction with them whenever possible. Closing off your life from those people, however, is not the best option. #WinnersMinute 1/3

That’s why I’ll leave you with this thought from Ben Shapiro: “I’ve never seen anyone’s life get better by complaining about reality. I’ve seen it get better by accepting reality as it is and then making personal decisions to make it better.” #WinnersMinute 3/3 Comment Amen!🙌

Here’s why: complaining is a short-term strategy to relieve the tension of negative situations and shift the blame away from our own selves. Complaining never has been and never will be a path to long-term improvement. #WinnersMinute 2/3
