NINE ESSENTIAL CHANGES THAT RELEASE SUCCESS

Change the way you THINK. Think forward, not backward. Think ahead towards a plan, goal or a dream. Think positive. Think creatively. Think with knowledge toward wisdom.

Change the way you SPEAK. Let your yeah be yeah and your nay be nay. Speak the truth in love. Speak with confidence. Speak positively. Speak honestly and with integrity. Speak only with knowledge, never assumption.

Change the way you SEE. See in retrospect only to improve on your forward vision. Always take the look ahead of you, never behind you. See the best, never the worst in yourself and others. See with the vision of expectation. See the future, not the past.

Change the way you ACT. Act only in the manner of the character you desire to become, not what you were. Act with respect and honor towards yourself and others. Act in a way that a child or a grandmother could appreciate. Act with enthusiasm.

Change the way you DRESS. Dress for success. Dress the way you want to become, not what you are or were. Dress in the attire that best defines where you’re going. Dress with respect of those inside and outside of your familiar world. Dress with dignity.

Change the way you PRAY. Pray specific. Pray in faith and assurance. Pray to God, not to man. Pray to be heard, not to be seen. Pray positively, not negatively. Pray to encourage, not engage. Pray to impact, not to impress.

Change the way you WORSHIP. Worship upwards, not downwards. Worship with joy. Worship with excitement and enthusiasm. Worship with a thanksgiving heart. Offer praise to those who deserve it and your praise to God will be accepted. Offer reverence to those who deserve it, not to those who demand it.

Change the way you PLAY. Have fun with life. Play with your spouse or significant loved one. Play with your children and grandchildren. Play with your friends who you enjoy mutual respect. Play on purpose. Play regularly. Plan your play times. Make sure your entertainment is playful and your play is entertaining.

Change the way you GIVE. Commit now to Give the Tithe to the house of God or man of God that offers you a spiritual covering. Give to God what is in your hand and God will give you what is in his hand. Give cheerfully. Give in faith. Give generously. Give from your heart.
