Your power to create your life the way you want is now!

 

You have a clean slate in every moment.  

There is nothing in the past that can override your power now, so focus on your ideal life and don’t allow any contradictory thoughts to enter your mind.

I was a ‘beggar’ selling pencils.

 

I read the story of a businessman in New York City who was rushing to board a subway train on his way to work when he saw a beggar with a cup of pencils in his hands sitting on the platform. Without thinking too much about it, he quickly grabbed some money from his wallet and dropped the bills into the beggar’s collection plate before boarding the train.

Just before the train doors closed, the businessman jumped back out onto the platform and took several pencils from the beggar’s cup. He apologized to the beggar, explaining that in his haste, he had neglected to pick up the pencils he had purchased. “After all,” he said, “you are a businessman just like me. You have merchandise to sell and it’s fairly priced.” After that the businessman boarded the next train and went about his day.

At a social event several months later, a well-dressed salesman approached this businessman and introduced himself. “You probably don’t remember me and I don’t know your name,” he said, “but I will never forget you. You are the man who gave me back my self-respect. I was a ‘beggar’ selling pencils until you came along and told me that I was a businessman.”

I share this story to highlight to you the power of identity. The businessman gave this beggar a renewed sense of meaning and identity by simply speaking over him and calling forth a latent potential that was in him.

By calling this beggar a businessman, he awakened in him a renewed sense of worth, value, and importance. The words gave the beggar a new perspective. And they gave him a new belief and vision that propelled him to walk away from the lie that a beggar was all he could be.

We can draw many parallels in this story for believers of our Lord Jesus. I believe that many who are struggling with sin, addictions, and destructive bondages don’t have the revelation of their new covenant identity in Christ. When you see a believer struggling with sin, it is often a case of mistaken identity.

The best way to help him is to point him back to his righteousness in Christ, as the apostle Paul did to those in the Corinthian church who had fallen into sin. Paul didn’t point these believers back to the law of Moses. All he did was to remind them of who they truly were.

Reread today’s scripture. Paul knew that if they were reminded of their righteous identity in Christ, they would repent. They would return to grace and turn away from their sins when they were reminded of their value according to the heavy price Christ had paid on the cross to ransom them.

I encourage you to use Apostle Paul’s method to encourage and lift up believers whom you know are struggling with sin. Point them back to their identity in Christ. They probably do not know, or have forgotten, how they have been made the righteousness of God through Jesus’ blood.

Because of this, like the beggar in the story, they are living a life of defeat. They are living far below the high place God has called them to. Believers in Christ are called to be the head and not the tail, to be above and not beneath, to reign over sin and not be defeated by sin!

Questions to ask yourself right now...

 

Do you have non-negotiables in place? Winners know what must get done every day. Are your breaks helping or hurting you? Rest isn’t the enemy, but hesitation is. Are you outpacing yesterday’s you? If not, that’s where the real work begins.

Success doesn’t wait. And neither should you.

This moment—the one you’re in right now—is where you either win or lose. No need for perfection. Just take the step, no matter how small, and let momentum take care of the rest.

Ready to learn the power moves that keep winners ahead?

Every time you hit pause, someone else is pushing forward.

 

They’re gaining ground while you’re catching your breath. And trust me, they’re not waiting for the “perfect moment” to act—they’re creating it.

What separates winners from everyone else isn’t that they never rest—it’s that they know how to rest with purpose. They use breaks to recharge, not retreat. They move with intention, even when things feel messy.

What about you? Are you moving forward, or are you stuck waiting for the stars to align?

The longer you wait, the harder it gets.

 

Starting ugly might feel scary, but staying stuck will cost you everything.

Your moment is now—don’t waste it.

To messy beginnings and big endings,

You Up for Something Big?

 

Hope you're doing awesome! I came across something recently that's got me pretty pumped, and I couldn't help but think you might be into it too.

 

So, what if this year could be the one where you:

 

• Dive into a $32 Trillion market that's just waiting to be tapped.
• Find yourself in a spot where your dream clients are practically lining up to chat with you.
• Share some cool software today and watch those thousands (or even tens of thousands) roll in tomorrow, opening doors to those sweet multi-hundred-thousand to million-dollar transactions.
• Have top-notch pros out there telling everyone that they HAVE to work with you.

 

Crazy, right? I was skeptical too until a few weeks back. But honestly, you gotta check this out—it might just be the game-changer we've been waiting for.

 

I'm itching to spill the beans and hear what you think, join me for a livestream with my colleagues coming up.

The difference between those who win and those who don’t....

 

Winners start. Losers wait.

The reality is, every big success you admire—from Amazon to Netflix—started with a clunky, less-than-perfect version. And they’re now dominating because they had the courage to get moving while everyone else hesitated.
