How to Get Happy with 7 Quick and Easy Tips to Brighten Your Spirit!
Happiness – How to Get Happy with 7 Quick and Easy Tips to Brighten Your Spirit!
Discover the Happy Life!
Happiness is possible for everyone. Yet, like most things in life it does not come automatically. Have you been through some tragic events in life that seem to have robbed your happiness? Even after the experiences are past, your mind can be filled with negative thoughts that leave no room for happiness.
Do you want to be happy? Then I’ll be honest with you, it will require some work on your part. But believe me, you are worth the effort!
If you want to be happy, you first have to choose to be.
Once you decide to live happy, then start acting like it. Some individuals are naturally more cheerful and just happy-go-lucky all the time. 🙂
On the other side of the spectrum, it can be an almost battle for others to even crack a smile. 🙁
Regardless of where you fall on the happiness scale, these quick and easy tips are sure to brighten your spirit.
How to Get Happy with 7 Quick & Easy Tips:
1.) Be a Thankful Person. Start and end your day giving thanks. Always be mindful of the good in your life and let that fill your thoughts. It is easier to be happy if you are a thankful person.
2.) Monitor Your In Take. What do you watch, read, and listen to? What you take in, is what you are going to put out.
You’ll have to admit it is hard to be happy and upbeat if you are constantly watching the ‘doom and gloom’ on the news. So take in things that are going to lift your spirit. We all know the right song can put a skip in your step. A funny movie will put a smile on your face.
3.) Live a Healthy Lifestyle. Your physical health plays a key role in your mental health and personal self-image. There is much taught on diet, exercise, nutrition, sleeping habits, etcetera. These things are all vital to how we feel. They must be kept in balance to make it easier to live happy.
4.) Discover Your Passion. So what are you passionate about? Passion gives an extreme power boost to your spirit. Discover what you are passionate about and pursue it.
The painter must paint. The writer must write. Doing what you are passionate about in life brings great happiness (to you and others).
5.) Help Others. Look around you and notice the needs of others. Find ways to help them. Learn to serve. As you look outside of yourself and start helping others, you’ll experience long lasting happiness.
Put some cheerfulness and generosity into someone else’s life. Like they say, ‘what goes around comes around’.
6.) Keep Things in Perspective. If today is not feeling so happy, just remember that this too shall pass. Tomorrow is a new day. We all go through seasons and the storms of life blow through. That is just life. But after the clouds blow past, the sun shines again. So stay determined to keep your happiness.
7.) Tap Into the Source of Happiness. Seek God and His presence daily. He is the abundant source that offers more than happiness, but joy everlasting. When you have a relationship with Him, Jesus says the kingdom of God lives within you. (Luke 17:21)
When we tap into the power He has put within us, our faces should be so lighted up that we give the impression to everybody that we just came into possession of some great, good fortune that made us extremely happy! Like a poor person who struggled all their life that has now become heir of a great fortune.
God’s children ought to look happy.
“Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice.”
– Philippians 4:4
It’s no secret, happiness is one of the great essentials to living the good life and it is to be realized here and now. Love, laugh, smile, dance, and be glad often. It is possible for everyone to have peace within themselves and enjoy true happiness.
May you continue to experience a life of happiness and growing prosperity!
Cheers,
Brenda

Do You Want to Stop Fear and Boost Your Self-Esteem?
Do You Want to Stop Fear and Boost Your Self-Esteem?
Discover How to Put a Stop to Fear and Bring Out the Real You with a Boost to Your Self-Confidence!
Self-esteem is such a powerful, driving force in our lives. The image we have of ourselves; be it good or bad, is going to keep us in failure or move us to success. Another powerful force to take note of is fear. It is a negative one that will rob us of our confidence.
How can you even begin to be confident when fear makes you anxious, stressed, worried, depressed, and unsure of yourself?
Fear is a great handicap that hinders your self-esteem because it only allows you to see the negative side of things. It will paralyze you from moving forward.
Jesus even told us over and over not to be afraid. He helped reveal to us that fear will produce what we fear.
Are you with me? Do you understand the importance of putting a stop to fear? You need to learn to nip fear in the bud daily. Become conscious of fearful thoughts quickly!
Fear drives Failure and Faith drives Confidence.
Victory over fear is required if you want to boost your self-esteem. Mastery of the thoughts and the words you speak will help give you victory. Memorize some positive affirmations to use as replacements for fearful thoughts that try to attack your mind.
Put a stop to the cycle of fear by standing on the Word of God and replacing fear with faith. Faith is evidence of your trust in God. God’s Word frees you from fear.
Some Affirmation Examples to Help Replace Fear with Faith and Confidence:
- God has not given me the spirit of fear; but of power, and love, and of a sound mind.
(2 Timothy 1:7) - The peace of God keeps my heart and mind in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:7)
- My confidence is in the Lord and I will not be afraid. (Proverbs 3:25-26)
No doubt about it; there is no limit to what you can do in holding fast to self-confident and courageous thoughts. We fail only when we lose faith in our God given ability to abound in life. It is through faith we touch the very source of life and gain the strength to live successful. Replace the fear in your life with faith filled words and give a big boost to your self-esteem.
May your confidence soar higher and your life abound with growing prosperity!
God bless you,
Brenda
Self-Esteem – Acknowledge Your Abilities to Boost Your Self Image!
Self-Esteem – Acknowledge Your Abilities to Boost Your Self Image
Time to Take Personal Inventory of Your Talents & Abilities and Boost Your Self-Image!
Self-esteem, regardless of how high or how low, is a powerful driving force in your life. It can hold you back and prevent you from being all that God intends you to be, or it can boldly drive you to a life of success.
Which just goes to show; you should give great importance to building up your confidence and self-esteem.
One way to do this is to acknowledge your strengths & abilities. Take inventory of what you are good at. We’ve all been given special gifts and talents. Some are more obvious than others.
Those hidden abilities may be discovered by asking ourselves what it is we are passionate about. What is it we desire to do and explore in life? What have we always wanted to do but keep putting off? Maybe learn to play an instrument, write a book, or paint.
“Most of us die with the great secret, with the sealed message which the Creator put in our hands at birth, still unread, because we have never learned how to open or how to read it.”
– Orison Swett Marden
As you acknowledge those things you are personally good at in life, you direct your focus on your positive qualities. Most of us waste way too much time taking inventory of our inabilities. Spend some time acknowledging the gifts and talents you have to offer this world.
We can’t excel in everything, but we can excel in some things. Start cultivating those abilities and talents you are passionate about. You’ll be empowered and see your self-esteem increase as you find ways to build on your strengths.
The simple fact of the matter is; once you discover and tap into your untapped assets, you’ll be able to provide an incalculable service to humanity. You will think more highly of yourself, and you will have more respect and self-confidence in your abilities. You will believe more in yourself. You will stand higher in your own estimate in every way and boost your self-esteem.
May you cultivate your God given talents and experience a life of growing prosperity!

God Given Empowerment – Use it to Get Your Focus on Once and for All!
God Given Empowerment – Use it to Get Your Focus on Once and for All!
Discover How to Get Your Life’s Vision in Focus with God’s Help
Empowerment starts with you,
but comes from God …
What is your level of empowerment?
Is your life’s vision currently in focus?
Or do you run around day to day feeling very busy, …
yet lost and going nowhere?
Get empowered starting today. Wait on the Lord. Then write the vision down and make it plain so that you can run with it. (Habakkuk 2)
Focus on the Vision of Your Desired Life
What are you passionate about? Where do you see yourself in the future? Seek God for guidance on this. We are told to acknowledge Him in all our ways and He will direct our paths. (Proverbs 3:6) God knows the plans He has for us, plans to prosper, so call on Him and seek His help.
Make a Plan of Action
If your goals and visions do not clash or go counter to the Word of God, then make a plan. Come up with steps you can take to make your vision a reality and write them down. Read them and speak them aloud daily and begin at least taking baby steps.
Next week is going to come whether you do something different or don’t do something different. Real deep thought, huh? NOT, but it needs to be said and you need to hear it.
Wake Up – Life is Happening
It is up to you to change your direction. If you want something different, if you have a vision or even a partial vision, take time to zoom in on it and get it in focus.
This is your life and you only have ONE SHOT – don’t waste it! Do something meaningful with it. If not for you, then for others, but ultimately for God. God did not create you and put you here in this age for nothing. You have a purpose and a part to play just like we all do.
Everyone is valuable and it is vital to society that you function the best you can in your God given abilities. My pastor often references the body of Christ to our human body. It does not matter if you are an ear drum, an eye, a big toe, or a heart. Every part is important and vital to the whole body in its purpose for all things to function at its best.
Life is a Journey and a Growing Process
Don’t be afraid to mess up. Remember all things work together for good to those who love the Lord. (Romans 8:28) Continue to pray and seek God daily for guidance to adjust and direct your steps on the way. Taking baby steps will empower you greatly and soon you’ll be an off and running success.
The simple fact of the matter is this: Tomorrow, next month, and next year is going to come even if you don’t change a thing. But I wonder? What if you purpose to change a few things and get God working with you? What might your next week, next month, or next year look like?
Why not get busy and find out? What are you still doing here?! Go now, and start making things happen in life by tapping into your God given empowerment.
May you continue to experience a life of growing prosperity!
God bless you,
Brenda

Self-Esteem – How Do You Celebrate Your Victories and Boost Your Confidence?
Celebrate the Small Daily Victories to Help Boost Your Self-Esteem!
Self-esteem and the self-image we carry of ourselves plays an important part in the success of our lives.
Do you shrink back from attempting things in life because of lack of faith in yourself. Do you avoid doing those things that will draw attention to you? If so, how can you truly be the success you are capable of?
Learn to celebrate you and the small victories in your life.
We all have the same amount of hours in a day and no one can repeat yesterday. So learn to celebrate the little victories today . . .
Did you complete that project on time? Did you maintain your composure when you got cut-off in traffic? Did you make it to your appointment on time? Did you use loving words with your spouse instead of the nasty ones that wanted to come out? Did you speak up and contribute your opinion in the meeting? Did you tackle that dreaded cleaning project and complete it? Did you make a good impression in the job interview? Did you skip that second piece of desert?
Whatever your small victories may be, they are yours and you should celebrate them!
They acknowledge that you are making progress and it helps lift your confidence. Sure, go ahead and celebrate the graduation, the marriage, the baby, the promotion, the new house, and all the other significant milestones in your life. Just remember, it is those small personal victories, that sometimes only you know, that when acknowledged will boost your self-esteem. 8)
As your confidence gets boosted with your success at the little things, you’ll be amazed at the ease with which you are able to have success with the larger things.
The truth is; you should give great importance to building up your confidence and self-esteem. A lack of confidence in yourself is a poor reflection on the Creator who pronounced everything He made as good. As a child of God you should be victory minded. Lack of faith in yourself is nothing but lack of faith in Him.
Start the ball rolling. Celebrate your small victories in life daily! Increase your confidence and encourage yourself to continue moving onto greater victories. Face life with a self-respecting, confident attitude and a hopeful outlook knowing you are a child of God. Celebrate you, your personal victories and boost your self-esteem.
May your confidence increase and your life abound with growing prosperity!
Cheers to a victorious life,
Brenda

How Fast Can You Get the Abundance You Want? A Key to God Speed the Process!
How Fast Can You Get the Abundance You Want?
Abundance – A Key to God Speed the Process!
Abundance can be manifested at a faster rate once you develop yourself. Soon you’ll be off and running.
Start where you are. Learning to walk begins with a crawl, and learning to run begins with a jog. It is a process to develop ourselves and see improvement. And just because we fall when learning to walk, doesn’t mean we give up and crawl our whole life.
First things first, in order to manifest a desire we must clearly define and vision that desire. We must believe and have faith that we will receive it.
Once we see and hear the desire in our thoughts, then we must SPEAK it. This is the key.
Hearing Your Voice – Speaking Your Confession – is Key to Quickly Attracting Abundance!
Your abundance will manifest more quickly if you speak, quote, meditate, and confess it to yourself out loud. Faith comes by hearing the Word of God. Hearing it deposits it into your heart. Proverbs says, that we are what we think in our hearts (23:7).
Are you with me? If you believe and stand in faith for something, speak it to yourself daily and it will be attracted to you quicker. Your voice speaking the Word of God has a powerful force that enters into your spirit, and you receive that force.
Faith is a law and you make it work and prosper by applying confession. Daily confession will develop your faith at a much faster rate.
To be on track, confess what God’s Word has to say about your desire and belief. Make sure they line up and then put the power of His Word to work in your life by hearing yourself speaking it daily.
Example of Sample Confessions for Financial Abundance:
God wants me to prosper. (3 John 2)
I am a generous person and I prosper. (Prov. 11:25)
I delight myself in the Lord and He gives me the desires of my heart. (Psalm 37:4)
I acknowledge God who gives me the power to get wealth. (Deut. 8:18)
I honor God with my tithe and my bank accounts are filled with plenty. (Prov. 3:9-10)
So there you have it: Speak abundance, and keep speaking abundance. Get God’s Word firmly planted in your spirit with daily affirmations and know that you know it is true in you. Once you are sure, you will move into God speed and quickly manifest your desired abundance.
May you continue to experience growing prosperity in your life!
Be blessed to be a blessing,
Brenda
