Why GOD wants you to lose weight.

A lot of people don't realize the importance of Weight loss.  People think its about looking good, feeling good, and becoming a better you.  Its part of it, but not the most important.  Let me explain.  I've been helping people all over the world lose weight for the past 12 years and i've found that weight loss has been nothing more then a "Test" for most.  How can you conquer others......if you can't conquer yourself.  When i ask GOD for something i know i'm going to have to sacrifice something. It might be bad habits.  Could be the company that i keep.  It could be something that i invest a lot of time in, that distracts me from him.  What greater thing can you give up then "self"?  Being obese happened when you started putting food in the place where GOD was supposed to be.  You tried to fill those voids with Ben and Jerry, Orville Reddenbacher, and Mr. Sanders(KFC).  The devil would use people to make you mad, and instead of praying it away, you turned to your favorite "comfort food"(comfort food makes you uncomfortable when you try to get into those jeans).  The things that you hold most important(which are the things you run to when you're at your lowest) are the things you'll have to sacrifice to lose this weight.  Losing weight unlocks your blessings.  This is your test.  GOD wants to trust you, but you have to prove that you can handle the small stuff(your weight) before he can trust you with the larger stuff(your ultimate blessing).  Lose this weight so you unlock everything your supposed to have.  Stop blessing blocking yourself.  That's your challenge of the day.

How to use your Hater to make you Greater.

If you're going to be successful you can't fight every battle. Sun Tsu(Art of War) says "for to win 100 victories in 100 battles is not the acme of skill.  To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill."   The bigger you become, the more people will hate.  They will criticize you for your stuff, but here's the kicker, they DON'T EVEN HAVE THEIR OWN STUFF.  Let me show you how to handle "Haters".  It starts at this verse right here.   Therefore submit to GOD.  Resist the devil  and he will flee from you(James 4:7).  When you submit to GOD, then you become less "Fleshy"(you don't cuss people out or do things that will satisfy YOURSELF for the moment) you start loving people.  Remember the term "Kill them with kindness"?  How many times have you been nice to your "haters" and they ended up staying away from you.  I do that all the time.  I'll walk up to you and hug you like you were my long lost brother, knowing all the time, your hoping i fail.  They'll  probably will throw a party if i do.  You have to use those people as your motivation.  I'm successful because of the GOD first.  I'm also successful because of the people who told me "No".  I'm successful because of the people who didn't think i would amount to anything once my football career was over.  I'm successful because of the women who left me.  I'm successful because of the women i left.  Either adversity will do one of two things....1.) it will destroy and kill you or 2) it will drive you.  You can't put out every fire, address every rumor, and defend every decision you've ever made in your life.  You have to remember your "Purpose driven".  Always remember, you can't run fast, forward, if your always looking backwards.  It'll slow you down.

Throw away your "Expired Milk."

I believe in divine appointments.  I've met a lot of  important people at certain times of my life that absolutely changed my life. I would've never met those people had a carried around "Expired milk".  Let me explain "Expired milk".  Expired milk are people/situations that have ran past their due date.  It could be your 30 something year old,  dramatic  friends from high school you've outgrown.  It could be that "cheater" in your relationship that continues to let you down.  It could be that rape that happened to you 20 years ago.  It was cool to drink it  between  Jan 1- Jan 24, but its April and you still have it in your fridge.  Its almost like wearing a fur coat during the summer time.   If you try to drink expired milk, it'll will make you sick.   You know they should've been gone, but for one reason, you let it linger like the odor of "expired milk".  You need to understand this.  Those people are put there to distract you.  They know they won't be around forever, but they're meant to distract you for that MOMENT.  All is takes is a few minutes of confusion for you to miss your blessing.     My question is this.....What if your blessing had a certain time on it?  Let's say you had an appointment with your blessing at 2 p.m. today.   Matter of  fact let's say it was a person who wanted to give you $1 million(but you didn't know it)?   If  I'm the "expired milk" i'm going to keep stuff going long enough for you to miss it.  I'll start arguing with you at 1:55 pm and won't stop until 2:05 pm.  By then your blessing has shown up, waited for you, then left, thinking that you "really didn't want it."  My question to you today is this.....when will you throw out YOUR expired milk?  It's time for you to get "Your stuff." Sometimes you have to throw away old stuff....to make room for new stuff.  Let's get it.

Don't confuse present condition with Permanent Position

I'm a firm believer that you have to teach people how to treat you.  However, it doesn't work if you don't know how to treat yourself.  I've alway had what i've deemed "The Denzel Washington/President Barack Obama" Syndrome.  That level, RIGHT THERE, is where i'm going to be.   Don't just treat me like anybody....treat me like i'm important?  I can't tell you how many times i've said, "You wouldn't have been late for Michael Jordan.  You wouldn't have been late for the President."  The thing is....I know my value.  I know my PERMANENT POSITION.  You can't tell me any different.  If a person can't treat me with THAT level of respect, then we can't be cool.  If you hang around people who see you as a level 5, and you see yourself as a level 10, after a while you're going to compromise your level to a level  7 (if you're  lucky.)  If you have people around you that don't treat you like "royalty" then you'll view  yourself as a "peasant".  When you do that, 9 times out of 10 you'll stop dreaming.  When you stop dreaming, you might as well just die!!!!!!!  What is a life without dreams and aspirations?   I'll answer that for you..... Pointless!  I'll share a story about present condition vs. permanent position.   Even before I got to know Rodney Perry(Co-host of the Mo'Nique Show and Star of Tyler Perry's Madea, One happy family) I was watching the Mo'Nique Show with a friend of mine.  She was like, "I don't know why he's on the show.  He's not funny to me." Meanwhile,  I was rolling because he was killing me.  I told her, "Dude is funny....I'd pay to go see dude."  She was like "Whatever".  Keep in mind, when the Mo'Nique show first came on, Rodney didn't get much TV time.  He just had a couple minutes to do whatever and that was it.  The thing was....he made those few minutes count.  Let's fast forward to his Permanent Position of the  story.  Rodney went from a few minutes to being on the whole hour.  He went from being a comedian of comedy shows  to now "Headlining" and selling out comedy clubs across America.  This week he'll have the number one movie in America. Had he dealt with people like "my friend" he probably would've given up on his dreams of being a star. He surrounds himself with people who see him as "level 10".   Now, she'll be spending $10 to see a dude she didn't think was "All that funny." Smh.  Never lose sight of who you are, and  most importantly whose you are.  Don't confuse your present condition for your permanent position.

The "World's Greatest" Thought of the Day

Today's "World's Greatest Challenge" is to never be satisfied.  We have to do more.  GOD can't get the glory from our lives if we're just doing "Ordinary" things. You have to do the spectacular.   Invite change into your life today.  Evolution is a great thing.  I challenge you to make yourself uncomfortable today.  That "great idea" has to come out today.  Do you know how many great ideas are lying in the graveyard right now?  You can't take them(ideas and dreams) with you.  Let's get it.

How to Focus and Finish

Faith and Fear can't live in the same place.  You can't walk forward if somebody is always pulling you from side.  When you decide to do something great, always remember there will be some resistence. Its not always the devil.....sometimes its GOD.  Everytime I ask GOD for something, he let's me know that I'm going to have to sacrifice something.  If you look at every great bible story, it involved sacrifice. Whether you're talking about Abraham and Isaac or Even Jesus and God, a sacrifice had to be made.  For weight loss its no different.  You have to sacrifice certain things, certain foods, certain habits, and even certain people in your life  to be successful. You have 2 different kinds of people(I'm a black and white person), The Blessers and The Blessing Blockers.  The Blessers are the "gate keepers" of your life.  They hold it down even when your falling apart.  They have this ability to make you realize "Its not that bad or We've been through worse".  Those are the type of people you need in your life if your going to win.  The Blessing Blockers comes in 2 forms.  You have the "Haters" then you have the one's who don't realize there being used(by the enemy/devil).  Those are the worst ones.  They don't realize they're hindering you.  You have to be able to distinguish between the two.  The first question you should ask is......."Who sent you?"  If  that person adds to your life,  then they were sent from GOD.  If they suck the life out of you.  If they drain you.   If they make you hate coming home.  If their mess bleeds into your mess.....tell'em to go back to hell.  Focusing and Finishing is about choices.  You choose your friends, and you choose your vices.  You have to make yourself uncomfortable if your going to win.  Stop doing the same things that hasn't worked for you all these years(that also includes people).  The definition of Insanity is "doing the same things and expecting a different result."  Pressure creates change.....Pressure can change a coal into a diamond, but on the flipside, pressure can bust pipes.  It goes back to choices.  Focusing and Finishing is a choice.  When I'm locked in, i don't care whats going on around me, the only thing that matters is my mission.  Your mission is to lose weight and become the person GOD needs you to be.  Unless you're a prostitute, you can't serve on your back.  Let's get what your supposed to have.  Think about it....if the enemy is fighting so hard to prevent you from having, the least you can do is find out what he's trying to prevent you from having.  Its that serious.  That's how you focus.  That's how you finish.
