You’ve been investing in your children for years, and they will continue to learn from watching you… so give them the space to learn and a safe place to be heard. #WinnersMinute 3/3 Save this post as a daily reminder!

Surround them with quality adults who will point them in the right direction. Remember, life is a journey for both you and your teens. They are learning how to implement the direction you’ve provided—and they are learning why your advice is important. #WinnersMinute 2/3

When your teens start listening to you less, don’t shout at them more. Shouting will only aggravate you and them. Instead, listen. Hear what they have to say and trust what you’ve already instilled in them. #WinnersMinute 1/3

So be patient when you see others avoid truth. Justice will eventually come… for truth will always stand the test of time. #WinnersMinute 4/4

Nathaniel Hawthorne stated, “No man for any considerable period can wear one face to himself and another to the multitude, without finally getting bewildered as to which may be the true.” #WinnersMinute 3/4

We need to remember that the lie itself will create a trap within which the person who is lying will eventually be caught. #WinnersMinute 2/4

Hypocrisy is easy to see in others. When we see lies flourish, it’s tempting to point fingers until the issue has been resolved. However, pointing out other people’s problems has rarely proved helpful in creating change. #WinnersMinute 1/4

So the next time you’re tempted to give up, don’t. Keep pursuing the perfect pattern in your daily routine. Eventually, your feelings will follow. #WinnersMinute 3/3 Comment 'Amen' if this speaks to you today!

Put in the work, go through the motions, and do the right thing—for it’s in continuing the pattern of good practices that you set yourself up for success. As Aristotle talked about, we are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit. #WinnersMinute 2/3

There will be days when you don’t want to invest in your family, your job, and the people around you. You’d rather sit on the sidelines and avoid the work of making good choices. On those days, it’s important that you don’t give in to what you feel. #WinnersMinute 1/3

So today I challenge you to consider those options that seem impossible and imagine how they could become reality… for anything is possible, when you are willing to research, explore your options, and dream. #WinnersMinute 3/3

Too many people are stuck in a rut of life, discouraged by what’s ahead of them because they haven’t dared to dream. They haven’t thought about what could happen if they chose a different direction in life. #WinnersMinute 2/3

When making a decision, it is important to remember that the obvious decision may not be your only option. There may be alternative options that you haven’t yet realized. Go ahead and consider the possibilities. #WinnersMinute 1/3

One way you can do this is by limiting your list of things to do each day. Instead of having 5–10 items to accomplish,pick your top three. Write those three items down and keep that short list in front of you. The visual reminders will push you to finish your goals for the day3/3

... They’ll turn you away from accomplishing your daily goals and keep you from reaching your long-term dreams. That’s why you must learn to identify your priorities and stay focused on the road ahead. #WinnersMinute 2/3

“You will never reach your destination if you stop and throw stones at every dog that barks.” Winston Churchill is right. Through every day, distractions will pull at your attention. #WinnersMinute 1/3

Guard and keep yourselves in the love of God; expect and patiently wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah)—[which will bring you] unto life eternal. Jude 1:21 (AMPC)

But you, beloved, build yourselves up [founded] on your most holy faith [make progress, rise like an edifice higher and higher], praying in the Holy Spirit... Jude 1:20 (AMPC)

To the one only God, our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory (splendor), majesty, might and dominion, and power and authority, before all time and now and forever (unto all the ages of eternity). Amen (so be it). Jude 1:25 (AMPC)

Now to Him Who is able to keep you without stumbling or slipping or falling, and to present [you] unblemished (blameless and faultless) before the presence of His glory in triumphant joy and exultation [with unspeakable, ecstatic delight]— Jude 1:24 (AMPC)
