And though this post isn’t about finding your purpose , I will say this:

Start with where you’re at!

My English teacher would probably frown at me for that last sentence but, I mean well.

I particularly want to focus today’s post towards mums (moms) who have School aged children which means they have to make regular trips to their child’s School.  I want you to consider carefully the influence you could have in your child’s School … In my veiw, it’s all a part of your purpose.

Rather than thinking about the School just in terms of an educational institution where your child learns, plays and eventually leaves with some qualifications, I want you to …

Think of  it as being a part of “Your Assignment.”

As our Church mission states, we are called to “be a light to the city and a blessing to the nation.”

And, as Kingdom citizens we are supposed to demonstrate the Kingdom of God where ever we go and that includes our children’s School.  We are not there to catch up on the latest gossip, to tear down the other parents and teachers and to justify our own circumstances by trying to find others who may be in a worse situation than we find ourselves, just to make ourselves feel better, we are there to be beacons.  But as the song goes …

“You can’t be a beacon if your light don’t shine!”

So, how do you let your light shine? 

You lift up and encourage rather than tear down. 

It’s your responsibility to bring peace to situations and not add fuel to the fire. 

I have to tell you, that as a parent, I find one of the most destructive places in the School is the School playground – and I don’t mean during the kids playtime.  I mean when the parents are in it!  Sometimes you can see fire coming out of the mouths of some of the parents (mainly the women) and it’s so very sad. 

There are those who think they’re better than the other parents, or, they can do a better job than the teacher (why these people aren’t homeschooling, I’ll never know) and then there are those who should be an influence but no one knows it because they totally remove themselves from any dealings with the other parents.

But, I want to remind you that as Influential Women, we ought to be an influence where ever we go and that includes our children’s School.

This also has such a major impact on the lives of your children and believe me, even the other children will notice it too.

The Bible says:

Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour , wherewith shall it be salted ? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.  ~ Matthew 5:13 KJV

And I’m sure this isn’t what you want … to be considered ”good for nothing.”

But, even if you’re struggling with the question “what is my purpose and where do I find it,” I can assure you that when you bring peace to situations, when you bring light, when you bring purpose into someone elses life, this is the beginning of you discovering your own personal destiny.

Blessings – until next time,

June 10th 1989 was the day those words reverberated in Fishponds Baptist Church … “I Do.”  In fact, so many of our guests commented on two things after the service:

1. It was one of the few weddings they’d been to where the bride and groom said their vows to each other and loud enough so people could hear at the back of the Church – not difficult for me!   And, previous to the actual day, during our practice, we started saying our vows and I stopped the minister … I told him “I want to say my vows to Chris, not you.”  He laughed and said “point taken.”  So, on the day, this is what we did … looked into each other’s eyes and said our vows like we meant them!
2. How blessed they were.  We didn’t have the usual order of service - We wanted to give people a taste of Church!  And if you didn’t dance, it’s because you didn’t know how to!  

One thing is for certain, that day was a day of celebration for both Chris and me and as I stress to everyone, the angels rejoiced then and have been rejoicing ever since.  That’s not to say we’ve not had our fair share of troubles and, dare I say, it’s not to say that there haven’t been times when we’ve both felt like walking away, but we stayed the course! 

I knew on June 10th 1989 that Chris was the man God had ordained for me to marry and even a few years ago when our marriage went through its biggest trial in our 20 years of marriage, the one thing that that was etched in my mind was the “KNOWING” that Chris would play a vital role in the fulfilment of my destiny and likewise, I would play a major role in his.  

It was this “KNOWING” that has given both of us the will, desire and motivation to stay the course.  In other words, it was a heart thing and not a head thing.

Perhaps one day, I’ll have to write an article on how you know you should stay the course because I believe too many dreams are aborted because people listen to their head and not their heart.  Too often, we listen to other people and not the Holy Spirit and then wonder why we make such huge and stupid mistakes.

Had I listened to the person who was very close to me at the time that Chris and I were going through tough times in our marriage a few years ago, I would have divorced him!  But immediately when I heard that word “divorce” come out of this person’s mouth, I knew where it was coming from and, it wasn’t heaven sent.  And I’m not saying this out of religious belief, i.e. ”I don’t believe in divorce” but, because as I said, the angels rejoiced when we said “I do” and, we walked into our marriage with the Holy Spirit, knowing that the person we were about to be “tied” to was the very person God ordained for us to marry and, this path was set for us, EVEN before the world began. 

How is that for assurance!

I wish I had a digital photograph to post here, but 20 years feels like an age and I almost feel as though they were taken in the 60’s!!   And for any of you younger folk reading this, yes our wedding photographs are in full colour! 

Have a blessed day,

The first issue and, I know I’m going to get some unsubscribes for saying this, but I hope after you read the four Gospels and, read about Pauls ministry, you’ll resubscribe when you learn the truth …

Jesus didn’t preach Jesus, He preached the Kingdom!

Jesus never said, Seek First Jesus Christ, He said “Seek First The Kingdom of God”

So, if ”come to Jesus” is all we’re preaching, we’re only giving people half a story.  And, I don’t know about you, but I don’t like it when people don’t give me the full story which is why I hate watching a great movie and then at the end, they leave it to your imagination to guess what happened.  And of course, this is what people will do if given half a story … they will guess!

This is what the world does when we only sell them Jesus and fail to preach the Kingdom … they only get half the story and then we wonder why people reject Him.  It’s not really Him they’re rejecting though … they just have no real concept of what’s behind the door:

I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. ~ John 10:9.

How rude do you think I’d be if I invited you to dinner at my home but left you outside to admire the front door (nice though it is) and you never got past the front door to dine at my table?  Sadly, this is the experience of many Christians and it was sure my experience until I started educating myself about the Kingdom.  And, the problem is, when we teach people about the door but not give them a taste of what’s behind it (in the Kingdom), it’s no longer just plain stubbornness that makes them reject Jesus, but their lack of understanding. 

Fortunately though, we do have the Holy Spirit to convict people of sin which, is great.   The problem is when problems come these people who made a decision to follow Christ but have no idea why except, that they are told if they don’t repent, they’ll go to hell, don’t know how to accept their princely herigtage so they act like vagabonds (outcasts) because they don’t understand the benefits of being a son or daughter of the living God.

So, going back to my original question, who are you trying to reach with the Gospel of Jesus Christ?

If you’re trying to reach the lost, who may have rejected Jesus anyway and, who think they don’t need Him, will your online ministry name attract or repel?

Will “YouMustBeBornAgain.com” entice non Christians to visit?  In fact, it probably wouldn’t entice me since I’d immediately think this is someone ready to preach hell fire and brimstone.

Likewise, if you believe you’re called to be an influencer in the marketplace, who do you think will visit your website when you have a name “CattleOnAThousandHills.com,” or “AliveInChristConsulting.com?”

We have to be wise and ensure the names aren’t just going to attract those who are already born again or people used to Church or worse, a name that is there primarily as a badge of honour to your Christian status.  No!  Let your life and your message be that.  When people see the Kingdom in us, they’ll yearn to have what we have. 

If like me, your ministry is to primarily encourage and empower those already born again, then you might be able to get away with some of the names I mentioned, but, I didn’t spend $2800 to buy womenofinfluence.com for nothing.  I knew the name would attract both Christian and non Christian women alike which, it has.

However, I had to learn what names would attract people online and off and, what wouldn’t and so I know it’s not an easy task to come up with a name and message that attracts but, watch this space, I’m writing a program called “Internet Ministry Secrets” that I know many ministries will greatly benefit from. 

That said, it is not my intention to put people in a box and get them to emulate my style.  I see too much of this in Christendom these days and I just wish these people would get over their egos!  What I want to help you with is being attracting with the message that comes from your heart without the religious attachement – there is a big difference between the two and, one will help your outrach and the other could create many outcasts!

Love you all, be blessed,

1. What Is Your Business In The Marketplace? For many m

Related posts brought to you by Yet Another Related Posts Plugin.

• Dictionary.com defines the marketplace as:
• An open area or square in a town where a public market or sale is set up.
• The world of business and commerce.

A situation or place in which values, opinions, and ideas are put forward for debate or recognition: a marketplace for new ideas; the literary marketplace.

But before you look at these definitions and think they exclude you, I want you to stay with me on this one because I want to show you that you do indeed have a role in the marketplace and more importantly, it is a God ordained appointment for you to be an influence in it.

Ed Silvoso in his book “Anointed For Business” refers to the marketplace as a “combination of business, education and government.”  He goes on to say that these three are “to a metropolis what the heart is to the human body.  Through these three arteries flows the life of a city.  A city cannot exist without a marketplace in the same fashion that a body cannot live without a heart.”

So, let me ask you … have you been involved in any marketplace activities today?  Been to your local store, purchased something online, fed your children, read a good book and hopefully, even taken a shower!  I would have included in this list taking your children to School or gone to School or college yourself, but I know it’s Saturday today so for most people, there is no school.    

But, whilst you may not have been a provider of any of the services I mentioned above, you are somehow involved and connected through your purchase, indulgence and hopefully enjoyment which means, you have the power to influence what goes on in the marketplace.

If enough people decide to boycott a business, soon, that business will fail.  If enough people cast a vote of no confidence in their government or education system, heads are gonna role and the people in those institutions have to take notice and “shape up or ship out.”

And I know there are a few of you questioning why things have been allowed to get so bad economically and, whilst I don’t want to cover it in detail this article, I will say candidly, “because we let it!” 

God gave us a dominion mandate … not in Revelation, but as early as Genesis (Genesis 1:28) and whilst we were not given a mandate to have power over other human beings we were given specific instruction to “be fruitful, and multiply and replenish the earth, and subdue it.”  

One of the many definitions of subdue is “to conquer by force or the exertion of superior power, and bring into permanent subjection.”  

“Into permanent subjection” to what or who though?  The permanent subjection to God’s will for our lives which, I hope you know is good! 

Submission, as I always tell people is actually spelt “LOVE,” and was never intended to come with an attachment of fear … only a reverent fear of God. 

Man (and by this, I don’t mean the gender man, but mankind) has however abused this authority and so wherever people see the words submission or subjection, they run for the hills.  But this isn’t the message God wants us to take to the marketplace … we have to take them the message of the Kingdom and better still, show them the Kingdom.

The message of the Kingdom is “THE” message that Jesus Christ himself preached and hence the reason he had such an influence in the marketplace and synagogues and, why he could so easily draw people to listen to him.

Yes, I know he was the Son of God and so it was to be expected that people would be drawn to him but take note of those who rejected and was repelled by him … those who either felt he threatened their positions or those who felt they didn’t need him or anything he had to offer.  Nothing and I mean nothing has changed today!  There will be those who think you’re after their position and there will be those who’ll take the view that “I’m alright Jack,” but the truth is, I cannot personally think of another time in my living history where people have been so hungry to hear the truth.

I know the statistics show an increase in crime, the picture the media paints of the economy is bleak and there is even a falling away from the Church.  But no one will convince me that the majority of people are repelled by hearing the Good News of the Gospel.  The trouble isn’t the Gospel of the Kingdom, but, the gospel we’ve been preaching.

So, why and what is that Good News of the Gospel?

This post is getting a little long so I’ll continue it next time.

Blessings,

1. Who Are You Trying To Reach With The Gospel? One questi

Yes I know, heard it all before and it sounds corney. It’s true though … I try to remember something I can be grateful for on a daily basis.

It’s so easy to focus on prayers that need answering, the things we need and want and forget that we have life, food to eat, a home, a car, our children etc. And what I’ve personally experienced is that the more I give God thanks for something, the more I grow to appreciate it’s value.

So, if there is something you want to value more, but struggling to give it (or someone) the respect it deserves, just start thanking God for it and see the mainfestation of what you speak unfold.

Maybe it’s something as seemingly trivial as your time … start thanking God for time and notice how much more of it you gain within the 24 hours He has given you … or your husband … start thanking God for the man you’d like him to be … or your children … start thanking God for who they are growing up to become.

I can hear some of you saying now … “I aint giving God thanks for my husband, he’s the worse thing that ever happened to me!” Or, “Trish, if you knew my child you would be asking me to rue the day he or she was born.”

Well, my message is simple … God’s Word is true and the things God says about your husband and your child and every other circumstance in your life is true so start thanking God on the basis of His Word.

When you wake up tomorrow, when it’s no longer Thanksgiving try starting the day with “BLESS THE LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits …” Psalm 103: 1-2

Your baby wasn’t created a drug user or your husband a control freak … God created all things good and so try and find promises (truths) of God to match your situation and I promise you that you will see your situation changing around you.

This is all a part of renewing the mind … seeing what God sees and saying what God says … about your time, yourself, your situation.

I’m grateful to all of my readers for the encouraging emails, the prayers and the support and though shorter than usual, I hope this post will encourage you to get passionate about gratefullness, tomorrow, the next day and the day after that … each miracle will motivate you to become more thankful.

Happy Thanksgiving,

Proverbs 23:7 says:

For as a man thinks in his heart, so is he.

Naturally, this applies to women as well as men but it really does clear up one thing, that “luck” has nothing to do with what you get in life and certainly who you become, but rather it’s what thoughts you given birth to in your mind.

T.D.Jakes in his Women Thou Art Loosed Bible, speaks about the fact that we must purge our thoughts and clean out low self-esteem, pride arrogance, hidden jealousy etc. He says …

“To use a medical metaphor, the mind is the “placenta” of the spirit man. It holds and nurtures the seeds it has been impregnated with until the time of delivery. If you have the seed of a thought in your mind and you don’t want the child that that seed will produce, your only recourse is to abort it before it is carried to full term.”

In other words, your thoughts have led you to where you are today. You thought it, mediated it and then manifested or gave birth to it.

So, if you don’t like who your are or your situation, it’s time to change the way you think about yourself, others and life, so you don’t keep reproducing the same kind of “child” as T.D.Jakes put it.

And I for one know just how difficult that can be at times, especially when you can’t see your way clear out of a situation. But you have to ask yourself, are my negative thoughts going to bring me joy and peace? Am I helping myself or those around me by rehearsing the same stories of yesterday and will my current thoughts bring me what I really want in life?

Any dream is possible if you can conceive it first in your mind and, if you don’t like the way your life is now, change what you’re thinking and by doing so, you can literally abort your self depreciating thoughts and immediately conceive new thoughts that will bring you joy and peace now and in the future.

Seeing yourself the way God sees you and speaking what you want your life to look is far more powerful than complaining and whining about the way things are. And, I’m speaking from personal experience here.

I remember going through a really bad period at work a few years ago and looking back, I tell my husband how much I now feel sorry for him. I drive and he doesn’t and so I would take him to work and pick him up again and I’m telling you, all I spoke about for months whilst this thing was hanging over my head was the situation. It was eating me up and no doubt others around me too.

At the time, I told my HR manager that if it took three years, the truth would come out. It did take three years and ironically, it was when I stopped focusing on the problem … when I stopped talking about it and feeding myself and others with the negative aspects of the situation.

You see, whilst I was desperate for that episode in my life to be over, I was prolonging the situation by feeding on it day and night. I was speaking about the situation and how wrong things were instead of focusing on “living life” and, what that looked like for me.

It was a real lesson for me and I’ve had to learn to “live” through difficult times and let the joy of the Lord be my strength.

Now, I understand that we are continually manifesting all the time and so it makes more sense to think and speak what you want to happen as opposed to the fears and worries or, what you dislike about you, your life and other people.

What goes in, must come out and so if you want to change your thougts and your life, it’s time to get into the Word and believe those things that God said about you. His Words are the most positive things you will ever read about yourself and His plans for you are good (Jeremiah 29:11). It’s time to check out His plans for your life and put a stop to living the plans other people have put in place for you.

It took me years to realise why it was so important for me to read my Bible. I was always led to believe that I had to read my Bible every day because that’s what I had to do to become a “good” Christian. It wasn’t until a few years ago during a discussion time with my husband that it hit me …

God keeps emphasising the importance of meditating and speaking His Word because we keep forgetting what He says about us and take more notice of the opinions of others and then we replay the negative video tape over and over with our own silent and negative confessions.

It really is time to start thinking about what you’re thinking about. As one author once said, “thoughts are things … what are you thinking about?”

The Apostle Paul tells us in Romans 12:2 to be transformed by renewing your mind but it’s impossible to be totally transformed without adhering to verse 1:

I beseech you therefore, brethren by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.”

Notice how verse two begins with “And.”

This is the reason I state that you can’t do verse two without adhering to verse one first … verse two is a continuation of verse one.

So, what does it mean to “present your bodies a living sacrifice?”

The answer to this and much more will be covered in the upcoming series.

Until then, take some time out to read the Word. Don’t let the enemy rob you of your blessing because you don’t know the promises of God for your life.

Until next time, Blessings,

Can you imagine the director of a movie shouting “Lights!” “camera!” … and then just stopping there?

What’s missing and what would be the result?

There would be no action and therefore, there would be no movie!

I’m not a huge movie fan but for you movie fans out there, I know you’d be distraught. But guess what … too many of us are living our lives on the “lights, camera” and no action scenario.

Many of you may have read my inspiring story which may even have compelled you to sign up for The Influential Woman Newsletter which, is great but in order for me to change some things in my life, I had to take some serious action.

Without the action, I would still be reading, and praying, and waiting.

And guess, what? Nothing would have happened. Actually, it would, I would just have had to live on the emotional rollercoaster of feeling low every time my past decided to present itself so vividly in my mind. But I’m grateful that even at the age of 15, after the death of my Nan (Grandmother), whilst I had no idea how it worked, I grasped the concept of the power of perspective.

In my own childish way, I understood that by framing in my mind how I wanted my future to look, it would make me feel better here and now. With that new perspective on life, I’d be able to think more clearly and take appropriate action toward the life that I so desperately wanted.

And, I would surround myself with friends who would cheer me up when I was down- the great thing is, these guys I used to hang around with at School, didn’t even have to try! They were just naturally funny and I’m grateful to God for such great friends in those days.

I learned I had to read things that challenged my thinking and the ways of doing things I’d become accustomed to and I would have loved back then to have had daily inspiration via a PC or mobile phone to keep me motivated when I occasionally got down … I know, I’m showing my age now.

And this brings me to a serious point and I’ll use a real life example to illustrate:

I remember once I received an email from one of my subscribers to say that she had unsubscribed from my newsletter because “I didn’t expect to receive so many emails!”

Those were the days when I was sensitive to “unsubscribe emails,” forutnately, not anymore.

But I had to remind my readers that change is not like playing a game of Monopoly! If I send you something and it’s not for you, just pass go and still collect your £200 – or $200 if you’re in the US. since I’m sure you don’t read every article in you’re daily newspaper – like the sports section for many of us women – but you still read what’s relevant to you and pass on the rest.

We have to remember not to throw the baby out with the bathwater!

Jim Rohn, motivational speaker, taught me, “always be a gatherer of good ideas.” Even if you don’t like the preacher, teacher or whoever, if they’re speaking truth, listen to what they have to say since in amongst everything you don’t like, might be the pearl that could change your life forever.

My mission is to inspire you to take some action! The kind of action that’s going to move you from where you are today, to where you want to be tomorrow.

So remember,

“It’s not the lights and the camera that completes the movie, the final cut is in the action”

I love you all!

Have a blessed day,

Ever justified your actions using this line … “it’s not my fault!”

I confess, I have … too many times in the past but I remember years ago, my manager used to say to me, “stop justifying Trish and take responsibility.”

And sometimes we need reminding that the decisions we made yesterday have brought us to where we are today so instead of crying “it’s not my fault,” we have to ask the question “if it’s not my fault, how did I get here?” Hard to acknowledge, but it’s true.

But what I want to focus on in this article is the energy that is drained from us when we adopt a culture of blame. Instead of taking on a new perspective into how things could be in the future, we respond with finger pointing, bitter arguements with others and rehearsing “he said, she said,” all of which is really designed only to do one thing …

Distract you from your purpose in life and lead you down the wrong path.

And I know we laugh about there being “no fury like a woman’s scorn,” but ultimately this fury will lead us to self-distruct. I mean, I can’t imagine for one minute what life would be like getting up day in and day out going to the office to the job I hate … again.

Ever been there? I have. And I became so resentful with many of those around me, that I lost all passion for my job and in doing so, lost my sense of direction.

But the truth is, the only person who was losing out because of all of this resentment was me! My colleagues around me just got on with life while for me, it felt like every waking moment of my day was to live to get out of that place.

But it dawned on me on day, that I was letting my feelings control me and therefore, unintentionally, my destiny, and I didn’t like the way my feelings were managing my life – literally.

So I decided to stop blaming and justifying and focus on what I really wanted. And one of the decisions I made, was to step back and look at “what was my fault.” By doing this, I could make a conscious decision not to go in that direction again and end up with the same old results.

In the words of W.L. Bateman:

If you keep on doing what you’ve always done,
you’ll keep on getting what you’ve always got.

So I hope I’ve encouraged you to take stock of the things you can start taking responsiblity for today and use that blame energy to make a 360 degree u-turn in the direction towards your dreams.

Make it your fault to live on purpose, today.

Blessings,

How to Save Yourself from Negative Influences

Stephen Pierce, Internet Marketing, speak and author, in his book, “Secrets To Creating Wealth” speaks about the Power of the Third Influence being anything that you allow into your life that will have a long-term affect.

This could be what you watch on TV, what you listen to on the radio, what you put into your body whether it’s food, alcohol or drugs.

A bullet remains in Stephen Pierce’s leg from a shooting some years ago, as a reminder of the negative influences that he allowed into his life, but as he puts it, “the Lord spared my life” since the bullet wasn’t meant for his leg, it was meant for his head!

The fact is, we are all being influenced by something or some one every waking moment of our day, but it’s up to you to filter out what you watch, read and listen to since these, ‘third influences’ as Stephen Pierce calls them will have a long-term impact on your future as well as the future of those you have the opportunity of influencing.

Yes, this means you have the power to influence your children, spouse, employees, nephews, nieces and anyone else with whom you come into personal contact, negatively or positively.

I often hear people say “a little of this or that won’t hurt.” But, the alcoholic didn’t start out drinking a bottle of vodka, he or she started with just ‘a little.’

Many affairs are probably started with just ‘a little’ kiss at the Company’s Christmas party (I’ve witnessed too many of these!) and the debts may have started with just ‘a little’ loan to tide you over.

Can you see what ‘a little’ can do?

And what are the little things you are doing on a daily basis that have now become habits that are having a negative impact on your life as well as those around you? And to what extent are these negative influences having on putting a stop to you living your dreams.

You may not have a choice about who you work with, and there may even be aspects of your environment that you think you can’t change, but let me tell you, you can change what you “ponder” and what you speak.

My little girl came home from School the other day and said “mummy, words are the most powerful thing on earth.” I said “what!?” Thinking she was going to say that’s what you and daddy have been talking about. She said “that’s what the teacher said in assembly.”

No wonder the enemy has tried so hard to get her out of there. He knows she being fed right!!

But, I digress. If a child can accept and understand that, it’s important that we as adults stop accepting that “words are just words.” The Bible tells us that they are spirit and they are life.” John 6:63 KJV

So, how do you get rid of negative influences?

Let me illustrate by way of example…

If you put green die into a jug of water, naturally, the water will turn green. If you keep adding clear water to the jug of green died water, what’s going to happen over time? The water will eventually become clear again because no more green die is being added to the jug of water.

Our minds work on the same principle. I know it’s impossible not to be exposed to words and pictures that can have negative consequences, but you can ensure that you are influenced by more positives than negatives by reading, watching and listening to things that are edifiying to the soul. And by soul, I mean the mind, since so many people confuse this with spirit.

You can listen to songs that lift you up, listen to motivational and inspiring audio and read books that are intended to have a positive impact on your life. And more importantly, you have to keep reading the Word of God. This is where you’ll find the promises that God outlined for you even before you were born.

Doing this, will literally change your outlook on life because what you see and what you speak is what you get in life.

In simple terms, this means you literally have the power to “see” and “speak” your way out of your current situation but you have to put “the right stuff” into your mind in the first place since what you’re thinking about will eventually become what you speak about and what you speak about will ultimately manifest itself in your life.

Be commiteed to speaking the truths contained in God’s Word and when what you’re thinking contradicts what the Word of God says, you just keep saying what God said.

Recently, I’ve been listening and watching Bill Winston and I highly recommend that you go check out his broadcast and they buy his program called “Speak The Word Only.”

It will make you think twice about the words you allow to come out of your mouth when he explains to you that words are not “just words,” but words are spirit.

I particularly enjoyed the “No More Toil” series. Go and edify yourself so you’ll have more power to influence your children, husband, work colleagues and anyone esle with whom you come into contact with, in a positive way.

Remember Whitney Houston’s Song … “The Greatest Love of All?”

It’s one of my favorite songs which actually made me appreciate why it is that some women love who they are whilst others dislike who they are, despite the compliments from others about their looks, their figure, their beautiful skin and hair.

Whitney Houston sings …
“I believe the children are our future, teach them well and let them lead the way,
show them all the beauty they possess inside…”

Well, this is where the building of our self-esteem and self-image begins … as children!

I believe it’s so easy to forget when we look at our little bundle of joy or our toddler or our teenager and remember that these children are the men and women of tomorrow. So, the words we speak into their lives will have far reaching effects into the future. Nonetheless, it’s not our children I want to speak about now, it’s us!

The first commandment in the Bible is to “love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and ‘your neighbour as yourself.” Luke 10:27

So, let me ask you … “how much do you love yourself?” I hope it’s a lot and I hope you’re not too afraid or ashamed to say
