Words are things, I am convinced

Maya Angelou:
“Words are things, I am convinced
You must be careful, careful about the words you use
Or the words you allow to be used in your house
In the Old Testament we are told in Genesis (actually it’s John 1:1)
That in the beginning was the Word
And the Word was God and the Word was with God
That’s in Genesis (John 1:1)
Words are things
You must be careful

Careful about calling people out of their names
Using racial pejoratives and sexual pejoratives
And all that ignorance
Don’t do that
Someday we’ll be able to measure the power of words
I think they are things
I think they get on the walls, they get in your wallpaper, they get in your rugs
In your upholstery, in your clothes and finally…
Into you”

Seek to begin the New Year with a Vision

Rev. Paul's Inspirational Message  WHAT ABOUT A PLAN

Good Day Family,

I never cease to be amazed at the fact that with all of the knowledge that we currently have about the need to be prepared for the future, many people are still averse to planning ahead. Having a plan helps us to move forward and to grow in a way that is less haphazard. It has been said, "The only degree of control that we have in an uncontrollable life is the degree to which we have a plan." Indeed this is true. Let me be clear - a plan is not a guarantee of anything. However, not having a plan is a guarantee that your future achievements and your results will be minimal at best.   As a Pastor, I have always sought to begin a new year with a vision and a plan for the year to come. It always helps us to keep the ministry on track and to provide a map for our direction. Mother Irma Gwinn, one of my spiritual mentors, often said when God is in your plans you can make your plans large. Thus, I have never set limits on what God and I can accomplish together. Because I believe the word of God, I know that for God all things are possible (Matthew 19-26).   As we begin this new year, it's time to have a plan for the things that you would like to achieve in 2013. Take the time to set some goals for 2013 - at minimum four. One should be spiritual, one physical (health and fitness), one financial and one relational (dealing with your interaction with others). You can have more if you like, but remember goals should be S.M.A.R.T. - specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and timely. Only plan as many goals as you think that you can achieve, but do not underestimate yourself or your ability. Most of us can accomplish far more that we think.   So, it's time to set the course for an exciting and amazing new year. Your vision is your only limitation. Think big. Think out of the box. Think differently. Think like you are God's son or daughter, because you are.   With a vision, a plan and a purpose,

Rev. Paul Rev. Paul Hobson Sadler, Sr., Pastor Mt. Zion Congregational Church United Church of Christ Cleveland, Ohio www.paulhobsonsadler.com www.paulhobsonsadler.wordpress.com www.twitter.com/ACT4HIM

Our Journey is not yet finished!

“We’ve awakened today because our story is not yet finished; our journeys have not yet been fulfilled.”   by Natascha Saunders @AskTheJobCoach

Are you ending 2012 still on your grind?

 

2012  ~ IS NOT OVER YET - so plan to end it on your grind!

Professional Development Tips to use right now before 2013 comes into play!

 

By: Natascha @AskTheJobCoach Saunders

 

 ‘We must use our time wisely’.

The year is winding down, and soon we’ll be saying ‘Happy New Year’. Did you make any promises to yourself that you were going to accomplish a few things before the year ended? Are you happy with what you’ve accomplished thus far? If you are great, congratulations stay the course. However, for those that could use a little push from the career coach, here are 5 tips to get back on Your Grind:

1.     Take inventory. Accept where you are, reflect on the past, create a plan to address it, determine what you need to surpass it and keep moving!

2.     Know when to move on. This is tough in relationships or in a job. However, try this – stand in front of a mirror and ask yourself, “Is what I am holding onto really where I should be?

Need motivation - I'm here for you!
 

3.     Find some ‘motivation’. You need ‘motivation’ to support you when those not so good days arise. Determine who or what can provide that motivation and set up a regular check’ in.

4.     Manage your cipher. My mentor, Attorney Joe Feaster said, ‘We have partners, friends, and associates and then there are people we just know.’ Categorize the people in your life. Determine how much time you give out and under what circumstance.

5.     Take a break from the calls, text, email & social media. Trust me this is hard but productivity is lost. Consider downloading a program on your computer to limit the amount of time you spend online (like Leechblock).

 

Implement these  5 Tips to Get Back on Your Grind because the year is not over yet, so let’s see what you can do! If you discover that you could use some advice, then reach out to Natascha on Twitter @AskTheJobCoach.
