Adopted from Robb Thompson
God’s Protection Is Activated The Moment You Walk In Integrity
“He grants a treasure of good sense to the Godly.
He is their shield, protecting those who walk with integrity.”
Proverbs 2:7 (NLT)
MARCH 23 - No matter what problem or challenge we may face in our lives, we must, at all costs, conduct ourselves as people of integrity. Our integrity unmistakably defines who we are. We must fervently keep our word and conduct ourselves with a resolute adherence to God’s standards in order to represent Christ effectively. By doing so, we are kept securely beneath the covenant promise of God’s protection. He is unable to protect us when we step out of the perimeter of His principles, which are clearly defined in Scripture.
Solomon speaks of this when he declares, “He is their shield, protecting those who walk in integrity.” We are to be absolutely committed to keep, not only the Word of God, but our word as well.
We can never afford to allow our integrity to be questioned. We must live above the expectations and standards set by others, over performing in all of our assignments. Remember, Satan comes to steal,
kill, and destroy; he prowls around like a lion, seeking whom he may devour.
Only our integrity delivers us from the brutal attacks of the enemy. But we must choose integrity, knowing that our future success depends upon it.
Daily Confession
Father, I thank You for granting a treasure of good sense to me because I walk in Your ways. You are my shield protecting me in all of my dealings, for I walk with integrity

6. Finding People that will help you succeed
As you wake up this morning, I request you to go with me on this journey on finding people who are assigned to help you reach your destiny. The law of Recognition states... "Your answer is next to you awaiting your recognition" This law explains the help that is in people around us awaiting us to recognize it. For us to find these people who are around us, we need to consider the following aspects:-
1. Identity- who am I? what do I value? What are my definitions of different things.
2. Others track record- a brief history of the friend in question should be considered before engaging in relationships. Their past success and failure should be considered.
3. Shared interests- Birds of a feather flock together. Get friends or people whose aspiration you share.
4. Willingness to help- a people that are willing to help you get where they are, are few, but are available.
5. Seek POSITIVE THINKERS ONLY- Never allow negative thinkers to speak in your life. Negative and positive attitudes are contagious.
Every purpose is established by counsel, seek counsel from the right places...from those who are where you want to go or those who have failed but bounced back to great heights. Surround yourself with successful people and you will not evade success.
GOOD DAY AND GOD BLESS

5. Time Management
The greatest discipline in this life is that of using your time wisely. Many of us treat time as an enemy not as a friend. They are angry on Monday and very happy when Friday comes.The said people exist instead of living. As a motivational speaker and marketer, time is a friend. Assuming that today was your last day on earth, how would you spend your day? this query will help us define the way we spend our time. To be a good time manager, i suggest 3 tips:
1. List down the time wasters in your life.
2. Plan your day before you spend it.
3. Attend 1st to the urgent/important issues.
The way we manage time determines the height we go in life. If you are a time waster, you will waste your life also. Let us assess/ evaluate the way we spend our time.

"All improvement in your life begins with an improvement in your mental pictures." -- Brian Tracy
"Look at the weaknesses of others with compassion, not accusation. It's not what they're not doing or should be doing that's the issue.

SUCCESS VS FAILURE
Both success and failure involve future consequences, namely the inevitable rewards or unavoidable regrets resulting from past activities. If this is true, why don't more people take time to ponder the future? The answer is simple: They are so caught up in the current moment that it doesn't seem to matter. The problems and the rewards of today are so absorbing to some human beings that they never pause long enough to think about tomorrow.
But what if we did develop a new discipline to take just a few minutes every day to look a little further down the road? We would then be able to foresee the impending consequences of our current conduct. Armed with that valuable information, we would be able to take the necessary action to change our errors into new success-oriented disciplines. In other words, by disciplining ourselves to see the future in advance, we would be able to change our thinking, amend our errors and develop new habits to replace the old.
One of the exciting things about the formula for success - a few simple disciplines practiced every day - is that the results are almost immediate. As we voluntarily change daily errors into daily disciplines, we experience positive results in a very short period of time. When we change our diet, our health improves noticeably in just a few weeks. When we start exercising, we feel a new vitality almost immediately. When we begin reading, we experience a growing awareness and a new level of self-confidence. Whatever new discipline we begin to practice daily will produce exciting results that will drive us to become even better at developing new disciplines.
The real magic of new disciplines is that they will cause us to amend our thinking. If we were to start today to read the books, keep a journal, attend the classes, listen more and observe more, then today would be the first day of a new life leading to a better future. If we were to start today to try harder, and in every way make a conscious and consistent effort to change subtle and deadly errors into constructive and rewarding disciplines, we would never again settle for a life of existence – not once we have tasted the fruits of a life of substance!

Today,s Qoute
ACTION
"You cannot change anything in your life with intention alone, which can become a watered-down, occasional hope that you'll get to tomorrow. Intention without action is useless." -- Caroline Myss

3. BUILDING STRONG RELATIONSHIPS
Relationships help us to define who we are and what we can become. In your own life,consider how relationships have shaped your character, values, and interest. Relationships are the greatest treasures in life and an immense source of joy.
Most people can trace their failures or successes to pivotal relationships. That's because all relationships involve transference. When we interact with others we exchange energy, emotions, ideas, and values. Some relationships reinforce our values and uplift us; while others undercut our convictions and drain us. While we cannot choose every relationship in our lives, on the whole, we get to select those who are closest to us.
Relationship Rules
- Get along with yourself
The one relationship you will have until you die is yourself.
- Value people
You cannot make another person feel important if you secretly feel that he or she is a nobody.
- Make the effort to form relationships
The result of a person who has never served others? Loneliness.
- Understand the Reciprocity Rule
Over time, people come to share reciprocal, similar attitudes toward each other.
- Follow the Golden Rule
The timeless principle: treat others the way you want to be treated.

CONFUSION
"The Greatest Reason For Confusion Is That People Listen To Themselves Rather Than Speak To Themselves." Robb Thompson
"The Greatest Reason For Confusion Is That People Listen To Themselves Rather Than Speak To Themselves." Robb Thompson
2. HEALTH AND TOTAL WELL-BEING
There is a guy who suffered with bouts of depression
who revealed what went on inside his head when he was
feeling really low.
He said, "I ask myself all day long why bad things
happen to me."
Wow! Now, I'm no shrink, but it seems to me that if
you asked yourself all day long why bad things happened
to you, you'd have a pretty bad day! Why wouldn't you
ask yourself questions like, "How can I turn this
around?"?
The answer, I suppose, is that we're not conscious of
our negative self talk until it's over. And once you've
"said" it, you start to feel bad, which is what leads
you to say it again, and pretty soon you'll feel
terrible.
For us to be healthy,we need to consider what we eat,think, the serenity of our environment and the people we associate with. As a matter of fact we are what we think, eat and live. The question we need to ask ourselves is; "How do we treat our bodies?" Remember the computer rule, "Garbage in, Garbage out"
This week think positively, eat right, enjoy every moment of your life.

TODAY'S QOUTE
Let others lead small lives, but not you. Let others argue over small things, but not you. Let others cry over small hurts, but not you. Let others leave their future in someone else's hands, but not you.
Lifestyle is the art of discovering ways to live uniquely.
Some people have learned to earn well, but they haven't learned to live well.
Earn as much money as you possibly can and as quickly as you can. The sooner you get money out of the way, the sooner you will be able to get to the rest of your problems in style.

1. PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT AND SUCCESS
Here's the great challenge of life - You can have more than you've got because you can become more than you are.
I have found that income seldom will exceed your own personal development. Once in a while income takes a lucky jump, but unless you grow out to where it is, it will go back to where you are. Somebody once said if you took all the money in the world and divided it among everyone equally; it would soon be back in the same pockets. However, you can have more because you can become more. You see, here is how the other side of the coin reads - unless you change how you are, you will always have what you've got. The marketing plan won't do it. It's a good plan but it won't work without you. You've got to work it. It is the human effort that counts. If you could send a sales manual out to recruit - wouldn't that be lovely? The major thing that makes the difference is what YOU do.
In order to have more, you need to become more. The guy says "If I had a good job I would really pour it on, but I have this lousy job so I just goof off." If that is your philosophy, you are destined to stay there. Some people say if I had a lot of money I would be really generous, but I don't have much so I'm not generous. See, you've got to change that philosophy or you will never have "the lots of money." Unless YOU change, IT won't change. Amazingly, however, when we throw out our blame list and start becoming more ourselves - the difference is everything else will begin to change around us.
