Key Takeaways
- Focus on the now and where you’re headed, and only spend a little time on the past.
- Recovery is being healed from the wounds of the past. But if you’re not careful you will stay in the recovery zone and will miss your discovery zone.
- Discovery is today. There’s a lot that’s gone on for you to have a good day today.
- No matter who you are, something new, fresh, and never been done before can happen in your life.
- The beauty of life is that you never know what can happen just around the corner.
- The Law of the Harvest: you have to plow the ground, plant the seed, and water the seed, to reap the harvest. A lot of people plow, plow, plow and are so plow-minded that they forget that you need to plant the seed and water the seed, to see the harvest.
- When you learn to sow from just a good place, good things happen.
- A lot of people are dissatisfied because their goals are not realistic.
- “He who works his land, shall have abundance...” (Proverbs 12:11a) Your land is what’s in front of you. Whether that’s seventh grade or working at Taco Bell. Work your land.
- “...but he who chases fantasies, lacks wisdom.” (Proverbs 12:11b) A lot of people are chasing fantasies, so they’re getting dissatisfied in their jobs too quick, the schooling they just started, in their exercise program, and who they’re dating or married. That type of dissatisfaction is more cultural, as in, “give me a new toy.”
- Divine dissatisfaction is God changing your appetite. All of a sudden, you don’t have an appetite for the same things anymore, because He’s moving you into something else.
- God can give you a plan but you have to be willing, and many times people are not willing.
- Be willing do the things that most people don’t want to do.
- When you’re obedient in the small things, then life trusts you in the bigger things.
- It’s just as important to be an amazing mother as it is to be Oprah Winfrey.
- Don’t take yourself that seriously.
- Study comedians. Comedians are some of the best speakers because of their timing.
- Stay in your flow.
- “It’s not how fast you move your feet it’s how big your strides are.” ~ Ed Cole
- We’ve had problems all over the world from the beginning of mankind. Any time you have humans, you’re going to have human problems.
- When people change their mindset and they change their motives, it shifts a culture. If everybody in your city for one week had good motives, it would change the culture and the climate of that one city. “When the righteous are raised up, the city is exalted.” (Proverbs 11:11)
- We are temperature changers. Do it in your home, your school, your job, and your city, and it may multiply to the world. “Jesus went around doing good, healing those who were oppressed.” (Acts 10:38)
