This is such a moving performance by Wynonna Judd. She talks about lossing her biological Father and she realized that she is a child of God. And because of that Wynonna knows who she really is. Her performance is very touching and you can feel her passion.

She grew up in Ashland, Kentucky. Her father, Charles Jordan died in 2000. This was when she went through a period in her life, as she describes as “of not really sure what to do next.”

“You know those times in your life, you know how to work, you know how to get up in the morning but the quiet stillness of the night comes, you kind of sit there and go, ‘well, is this what it’s all about?’ And in a flash I realized that though I never got to meet my earthly Father I will meet my Heavenly Father. And I believe that.”

We all go through phases, sometimes I am super productive and at other times all I want to do is relax or hang out with my friends. Sometimes we need a little refresher, something to inspire us to re-evaluate our goals and wants from life, and this video sure is one of those reminders.

You only want something as bad as you’re willing to work for it.

“If you go to sleep, you might miss the opportunity to be successful.”

“Don’t quit. You’re already in pain, you already hurt, get a reward from it, don’t go to sleep until you succeed.”

If you have food in your fridge, clothes on your back, a roof over your head and a place to sleep,

You are richer than 75% of the world.

If you have money in the bank, your wallet and some spare change,

You are among the top 8% of the world’s wealthy.

If you woke up this morning with more health than illness,

You are more blessed than the million people who will not survive this week.

If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the agony of imprisonment, or torture, or the horrible pangs of starvation,

You are luckier than 500 million people alive and suffering.

If you can read this message you are more fortunate than 3 billion people in the world who cannot read it at all.

Have you ever witnessed a child taking their first steps? When you were learning yours or you were you there to watch your child take their first steps, what did you do? What did you tell them? After they stood up, then fell, stood up again holding onto something and fell again, do you tell them to “stop trying”, they “can’t do it”. You encourage them to keep trying. And once they take one step you encourage them to take another and another!

This video below shows one runner, Heather’s fall and what happened when she got back up again.

Something to appreciate when we have a “fall” in life and that is it gives us an opportunity for learning, growing and improving and most importantly, a chance for us to be courageous!

“This race is not about a fall. This race is about a rise.”

Steve Jobs passed away October 5th. Steve’s brilliance, passion and energy were the source of countless innovations that enrich and improve all of our lives. The world is immeasurably better because of Steve.

“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don’t settle.”

RIP Steve Jobs

He had agreat philosophy on life! Please watch his 2005 Stanford commencement Address:

You are your biggest fan. You have confidence. You are a leader. You are cherished. You are looked up to. You are beautiful. You have great abilities. Your possibilities are endless. You are helpful to others. You are smart. You are loved. “You are the greatest!” This is what Mohammed Ali used to tell himself everyday. “I figured that if I said it enough, I would convince the world that I really was the greatest.”

When you believe that something is possible and within your power to get, you are much more likely to put in the time and effort required to make it happen. Believe in Yourself first!

I wanted to dedicate this post today to all the people who’s lives were affected by 9/11/01. A decade has passed and it still so vivid of where we were, what we saw and how we felt. My thoughts and prayers are with the victims of 9/11.

Are you struggling today? We’ve all been there. You can press forward no matter what!
In all 150 of the Psalms, the phrase I will was sung 140 times.
When Asaph was disillusioned with the circumstances in his life, he sang, “I will meditate on all Thy works…I will remember your deeds.”
When David was wondering if God heard his cries for help, he said, “I will come into your house; in reverence I will bow down.” And when he felt like he was being defeated, he sang “I will know that God is for me…I will not be afraid.”
The Psalmists didn’t say “I think” or “I feel” or “I should” it was “I Will.” Saying “I Will” is a determined course of action.
Today start your day with “I Will…”
