Hello, family, and Happy 2025!
We’ve made it through the first month of this year, and there’s still so much ahead of us. I sincerely hope your year is off to a great start and that this will be the transformative year you’ve been hoping for. You are capable of making it happen. I am living proof that dreams do come true when you keep moving forward, believing in yourself, and never giving up.
The Power to Create Your Life Has Always Been Within You
It’s easy to feel discouraged at times, but winners never quit. There is always a chance, always an opportunity. It’s better to keep trying than to wonder, “What if?” Every decision you make has the power to bring you closer to your dreams.
You don’t need anyone’s approval to pursue your dreams. The power to create your life has always been within you. You are already the person you want to become; it might sound wild, but it’s the truth. You don’t have to wait for the perfect moment or milestone to become who you aspire to be. You are already that person, just waiting to step into the fullest version of yourself. All it takes is belief.
Start Thinking Differently
Start by thinking differently. Walk, talk, and act as if you are already living the life you desire. The shift begins within, with your belief in your own potential. Jesus once said, “Let the weak say, ‘I am strong.’ Let the poor say, ‘I am rich.’” When He asked the crippled man, “Do you want to be made whole?” it seems obvious that the answer would be yes. But how often do we forget to ask ourselves the same question: “Do I want to be whole?”
Take a moment to reflect: What decisions have you made so far to improve your life? Are you taking care of your health, nourishing your body, or managing your stress? The truth is, we often bring our own struggles upon ourselves through the choices we make each day—whether it’s unhealthy eating, overindulgence, or stressing over things beyond our control.
You Are Not Your Body, and You Are Not Your Thoughts
But remember: you are not your body, and you are not your thoughts. Your thoughts come and go; they are simply reflections of your experiences, shaped by your current perspective. But your true self—your spirit—is infinite. Your body is just the vessel you’re using to navigate this life, and your spirit is a part of something far greater. You are connected to something eternal, something vast.
As God said, “I Am that I Am.” And you, too, are that. You have the power to create your life with every decision you make. Every thought, every choice, every action aligns with the energy you put out into the world. The more you live in alignment with who you truly are, the more you’ll notice opportunities and people reflecting that truth back to you.
How You Show Up in the World Matters
Remember, how you show up in the world is how the world will respond to you. If you stand confidently in your power, others will respond to that. If you show fear or weakness, you’ll attract more of the same. It’s all about how you choose to present yourself, and it all begins with the decisions you make today.
The life you’re living now is the result of the choices you’ve made up until this point. But here’s the good news: You have the power to change. If you want to transform your life, it begins with transforming your mindset. Your decisions create your destiny.
Your Thoughts Are Like Movies on a Screen
Let me give you an example: Our thoughts, whether positive or negative, are like movies playing on a screen. The screen is your spirit—your true self. The thoughts are fleeting images that come and go. Some are uplifting, others may be negative, but remember: they are not you. You are the screen, not the movie. You have the power to choose what you focus on.
Your body and your thoughts are simply vehicles for your spirit. The body is the house, and your thoughts are the messages being projected. But the real you—the spirit—is the one in control. What are you projecting into the world? What story are you telling?
Who Are You, Deep Down?
Ask yourself this: Who are you, at your core? What have you been for eternity? And how will you live today, knowing that truth? When you begin to operate from that space of awareness, when you make decisions based on who you truly are, you unlock your highest potential.
Never forget this: You always have a choice. Even when it feels like you don’t, every decision is yours to make. And each decision you make, no matter how small, shapes your future. So, ask yourself: What will you choose tomorrow? Will you choose greatness, or will you fall back into old habits?
Every Day is a New Opportunity
Every day is a new opportunity—a new test. It’s a chance to decide: Who am I? And every choice you make is another step toward the person you want to become.
The truth is this: You can recreate your life, starting right now. One decision at a time, you can turn your dreams into reality.
Believe in Yourself
With all my heart, I believe in you. And now, seeing you believe more in yourself, I know this can be the year you step fully into the person you were always meant to be. Let’s make 2025 the year you transform your life and start living with purpose, passion, and power. Happy January 2025! May this be the year you choose to make your dreams a reality and continue growing into the best version of yourself. With all my love.
Until next time
Love Always
