Finding Your PeaceAs we progress through life, we often encounter unforeseen changes and difficulties that catch us off guard, leaving us ill-prepared and vulnerable when they strike. Clint, who has experienced such challenges from a tender age into adulthood, describes them as his darkest moments. During our lowest points, we often make poor decisions, oblivious to the fact that each misstep leads us further down a path of downfall. However, by adopting a mindset of resilience and embracing key principles such as embracing change, seeking inner peace, and most importantly, loving oneself, we can begin to turn our lives around.

Self-love entails acknowledging and accepting who we are, finding solace within ourselves, and prioritizing our own well-being. It involves nurturing ourselves and attending to our own needs, recognizing our inherent worthiness and deservingness of happiness. Self-love is a journey focused on personal growth rather than a fixed destination to achieve.

Examine Your Thoughts

Everything originates in your mind. To achieve long-term success, it is essential to consider several mindset shifts. Often, experiencing burnout leads to reliance on food, resulting in weight gain and increased stress. However, the root issue lies not in burnout, stress, or weight gain, but in your thinking. The cycle begins with your thoughts and how you manage them; these thoughts trigger your emotions, influencing your mindset. The emotions you feel align with your actions, and your actions align with your daily goals. This means that if negative thinking dominates your mind, you are likely to experience adverse outcomes throughout the day.

Not only that it lets you trust experts to do the job for you at a more efficient level, but it can also help you keep you sane. Running a business is stressful and time-consuming; delegating allows you more time and space to focus on the things that matter most in your personal and professional life. With enough time and headspace, you can think well about your passion, purpose, and business ideas that will affect your life as a business owner and well-being, making you happy, less stressed, and at peace.

Finding the right people to create a vision

Building a Connection On LinkedIn

A good connection benefits both persons involved. But a real connection must be a two-way deal for it to persist. Why should the other person bother staying connected if you're the only one benefiting from the connection? Or why would the other party stress out just so they could connect with you?

The same is true for LinkedIn. LinkedIn is all about business networking; therefore, making a meaningful LinkedIn connection will entail adding professional value on some level. Business owners may think that building connections on social media is more accessible than doing it on LinkedIn. Adam, an expert, noted that you must have the right formula and be consistent to genuinely like people.

Your profile, targeting, and messaging must be harmonious and on point.  

If you're looking to pitch and sell all day long, then LinkedIn won't work for you. There is a time and a place to sell, but you must understand the process to get there. Otherwise, you never will.

Therefore, when social relationships break down or are damaged, it can greatly impact our mental well-being. That relationship also works with businesses.

Having numerous relationships or connections and a network of social support with people with the same mindset and goals can benefit you and help your whole group feel like you're all a single organism working together to achieve your point of success. With Rob, he doesn't only work with his group to achieve their goals but also to serve the purpose of life, which is to our god and his words. He makes sure that he can set an example to his people on how to serve faith that will give abundance and glory in their careers and personal lives.

Spreading the truth of how Jesus lives, here and now, in the hearts of every believer and how God has determined we all exist in and as him.

With his discovery, all of his questions about how and who Christ is, and not knowing anything about him 2000 years ago, that distant image of Jesus has vanished; now, Jesus, he knows, is as close to him as his heart. Believing and following him by living his life as a vessel to Christ.

How to think about debt for your business

Many business owners deal with what's in front of their business before creating plans b c d's. But when you're not just thinking as an entrepreneur and started thinking as a leader in your business, a provider for the community, parent, and friend, you won't be just thinking ahead of your business but further ahead of your life.

One of the things that you should have in planning is focusing on your finances. One way to deal with it is through lending. When people hear the words debt or loan, people tend to be too cautious. Adam has a different approach to it. Going to your local banks and applying for loans could benefit you or your business. Applying for loans and paying for them within the contract helps you build a relationship and a good impression with the lender so that you can handle your finances well; that way, making connections that will benefit you and your business will be much easier.You can also create this relationship with banks or lenders and continue having a working line of credit by asking for loans and purchase-order financing, receivables, and other ways as long as you can provide collateral to the lender. You are making them trust you and support your business.

If you want to sign up for ALA personal growth and development system, go to www.AwakenedLifeAcademy.com

This is a segment of a training I did with one of my men's groups. In the middle of the training, we talked about what "Presence" is for a man and how to cultivate it. There's a breathing exercise you can try at the end. Here are the steps of the breathing exercise:

1.Sit up straight

2.Come into awareness of your breath and notice how you are breathing

3.Imagine the breath moving into different parts of your body. Focus on the gut and pelvic floor

4.Imagine the breath waking up these parts of the body

5.Notice for places of tension, and activity “let it go”. Breathe into that area and let the tension go with the exhale
