Being a God-Pleaser, not a man-Pleaser
I recently read an article on Joyce Myers website that really spoke to my heart in so many ways. Here's a little bit of it...
1. Never say or think negative things about yourself, such as, "I never do anything right." "I'll never change." "I'm ugly." "I look terrible." "I'm dumb." "Who could ever love me?" Matthew 12:37 says, ...by your words you will be justified..., and by your words you will be condemned…. Proverbs 23:7 says, …as [a man] thinketh in his heart, so is he. In other words, the way we talk and think about ourselves reveals how we feel about ourselves.
2. Speak good things about yourself (as private confessions) in line with what the Word says about you. For example: "I am the righteousness of God in Christ." "I am made acceptable in the Beloved." "God created me and formed me with His own hands, and God doesn't make mistakes." I like starting the day making good confessions. Perhaps you can do this while you're driving to work or cleaning house. I also encourage you to look in the mirror and say out loud, "God loves and accepts you, and so do I." You may even try hugging yourself. This is beneficial to people who have lacked love and acceptance in their lives.
3. Never compare yourself with other people. God must love variety or He wouldn't have created us all differently—even down to our fingerprints. You'll never succeed at being yourself if you're trying to be like someone else. Other people can be a good example to you, but duplicating even their good traits will manifest differently through your individual personality.
4. Focus on your potential instead of your limitations. Actress Helen Hayes was told early in her career that if she were four inches taller she'd be the greatest actress of her time. Her coaches tried various methods of stretching her, but nothing increased her height. She refused to concentrate on the supposed limitation of being five feet tall and decided to concentrate on her potential. As a result, she was eventually cast as Mary, Queen of Scotland—one of the tallest queens who ever lived.
5. Find something you like to do that you do well, and do it over and over. If you spend your time doing things you're not good at, it'll frustrate you and cause you to feel defeated and unsuccessful.
6. Have the courage to be different and deal with criticism. Be a God-pleaser, not a man-pleaser (see Galatians 1:10). If you dare to be different, you'll have to expect some criticism. Going along with the crowd—when you know in your heart God's leading you a different way—is one reason people don't succeed at being themselves. You won't like yourself very much if you go against your own convictions.
7. Don't let the way another person treats you determine your worth.
8. Keep your flaws in perspective. People with a high level of confidence have just as many weaknesses as people without confidence, but they concentrate on their strengths—not their flaws or weaknesses.

In so many ways I feel that I have to please others, when in reality I need to be pleasing God and not worry about others.
I love number 5 as well.... Find something you like to do that you do well, and do it over and over. You often see those people who are the happiest or most successful do what they love. That may mean being a realtor, wife, photographer, teacher or mother. Thinking back a few weeks to a speaker who was at our church, she said to be intentional. We've all heard that practice makes perfect and this 100% applies to #5, do it over and over = making you great at what you love!
Have a great week!

5 Reasons Why Most Home Businesses Fail
Statistically 70% of home based businesses last at least 3 years but why do they fade out? And why is it that the statistic isn't higher?
5 Reasons Home Businesses Fail
1.One of the number 1 reasons Home Based Businesses fail is due to having a lack of support! Do your research before diving into a business, find out what tools and help you will be given to insure your Success. Proverbs 11:14 NIRV Without the guidance of good leaders a nation falls. But many good advisers can save it.
2.Some Home Based Businesses will encourage you to work long hours with little pay. Get to know the compensation plan in the business that your looking into. Knowing how you will be paid is a MUST. I prefer to work with a company that offers residual income. Deuteronomy 8:18 NIV But remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your ancestors, as it is today.
3.Product No one wants! Simple as that. In my opinion most successful home based businesses are built upon products that families consume on a regular basis. 2 Corinthians 9:8And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:
4.Realistic Time Commitment. As you start a home based business you will no longer be told what to do by your boss. Therefore you must be diligent and consistent in putting time forward to grow your business each and everyday in order to see growth. As you go into your business, know that it may take many months to years to see a replacement income. II Timothy 1:7 NIV For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.
5.Start up Cost and Fees. This is a classic reason why some businesses fail. A large start up fee can be scary! And if the fee is to large it might inhibit others from wanting to work with you. Again, do your research and know what the costs associated with each venture are going to be. Luke 14:28 For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it?
As your searching for a reliable way to earn an income for your family know there are many opportunity's out there. It's important to find something you enjoy while helping others and your own family in the same hand.
