One Word Breakthrough! (OWB)

Feeling overwhelmed is certainly no fun. It is debilitating, causing low to no productivity and a defeated sense of not doing what one should or could do within a given day or period of time. Overwhelmingness is a time, productivity, and esteem-killer, but the good news is you can overcome overwhelmingness and keep that thief at bay! Join me in Breakthrough Land to pick up your strategies to reclaim your productivity and turn the tables to overwhelm overwhelmingness.

Has self-pity sent you an invitation to be their next guest of honor? Don't do it! Send that invitation back marked, “return to sender!” Self-pity is an incredibly sneaky destiny thief because it wants to validate you in your place of regret, remorse, shoulda-woulda-coulda, and make you comfortable in your wallowing that prevents you from moving forward. So if you allowed self-pity to walk you into your New Year, it's not too late to shake it loose and start again, anew! Join me in Breakthrough Land, so you can show self-pity the door and step into that new place of opportunity.

Greetings all, Breakthrough Land, including OWB, is closed for the Holidays, so we can get ready to open back up to help each and every one of you get the breakthrough you need to live your best life now in 2022! We hope to continue with our destiny thief series when we are back in full swing after Jan 21, 2022. In the meantime, we wish you a very Merry Christmas, Happy Holiday, and a Wonderful New Year filled with above-and-beyond amazing gifts and blessings from above! With warmest regards, Matthew

We have all been there, in denial in some form or fashion. Now, don't go denying being in denial on me! It will hinder you from progressing forward into your glorious destiny. We must face what we need to fix; otherwise, pretending it never happened or not dealing with it because of fear or some other reason will not make it go away or resolve on its own. Join me in Breakthrough Land to pick up the strategy to face what you need to fix. You've got this!

Many of us lament over things lost--not necessarily material things, but more along the way of emotional, mental, spiritual, opportunities, and more. Speaking of way, lamenting over things lost can put you in the wrong way or cause you to go in the wrong direction. Furthermore, it's essential to dig deep to determine if those things were indeed yours to own or lay claim to before you file a ticket at your figurative lost and found depot. Need a better understanding of this matter? Great! Breakthrough Land has one waiting for you.

Just like there are literal thieves, spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical burglars attempt to rob us of our destiny. These sneaky little intruders will slowly siphon the gas needed to propel us forth into our glorious future if left undetected. Throughout the coming weeks, we will look at some of these robbers and learn how to pick up the equipment needed to thwart and guard against these usurpers. Our first thief to call and cancel out is procrastination. Join me in Breakthrough Land to pick up what you need to help live a victorious and ground-breaking life.

When certain individuals, groups of people, or teams get together under the right conditions for the right reasons, they can create some amazing and powerful synergy. Synergy is that something extra created or produced which is greater than what each individual alone can do or generate. The same is true of words. When we pair certain words together and practice walking in that pairing toward an intentional and directed purpose, major breakthroughs occur. A much-needed example for such a time as this is combining self-control and discernment. Want to learn more? Join me in Breakthrough Land so you can grab hold of and experience what you need to work for your best life now!

Are you investing in your mistake or the value produced? We are not splitting words here, family, as there is a big difference. The portion you invest in determines how and how well you move forward. Take your mistake to the threshing floor so you can extract the value and apply it to your future endeavors. Don't know what a threshing floor is? Even better! Join me at the threshing floor in Breakthrough Land and bring your mistakes!

Have you checked your purpose lately? Are you walking with purpose, or just taking a walk? If you need to streamline your stride and purpose your step, then today's breakthrough word is for you. And if your first internal reaction is "nope, I'm good" then you might want to double back and listen anyway. Even if you have a purpose that you are walking in, you want to make sure you get it tuned up periodically, so you can keep on stepping!

Feeling stuck, or like you are spinning your wheels? Then it's time to journey to breakthrough land to pick up your timely tool called momentum so you can move forward. And don't worry about your feelings, as we will sort those out as well. Acquire some tools and strategies to help you during your time of transition, so you can move on in an intentional, positive, and successful way. So shake off stuck and let's get going!

Perspective produces prospects, both fruitful and fruitless, depending on your viewpoint. According to Webster's Dictionary, perspective is "a mental view or prospect." What mental view are you looking through? If your view is positive, proper, and clear, then you will find abounding prospects you would never have otherwise seen to glean! However, if your perspective is dim, cloudy, or skewed, then you're walking by hidden opportunities waiting to be discovered. Speaking of perspective: one of the worst productive-perspective-robbers is the cancel culture, which I address in today's close. This being said, join me in Breakthroughland as we travel to the portion where perspectives are waiting to provide you with prolific prospects ripe for the picking!

Time is either an employee or an employer. Each of us either employs time or by default, time will employ us. This being said, make sure you are employing the present and not the past, so you can move forward in the momentum, strategies, and perspective needed to make your present, rather than allowing your past to break your present. Join me in breakthrough land to adopt some strategies and practices to leave your past behind and pick up your present! Come on, let's go. Time is wasting!

Webster defines diligence as "steady, earnest, and energetic effort: devoted and painstaking work and application to accomplish an undertaking." Diligence is not easy, and many times it is painstaking. Diligence is a noun; therefore, it needs action to be activated. How do you activate this? By directing your diligence with intentionality into those areas where you have been feeling restricted and experiencing resistance. Diligence is a force, a substance, a weapon to be used to break through in those areas of your life that have been holding you back. Want to learn more? Then press through to join me in Breakthroughland so you can make diligence work for you. Come on, let's go!

Happy New Year from Breakthroughland, Y'all! Speaking of New Year and breakthrough, are you having a hard time stepping into the new? Then this Breakthrough Word is for you!  Stepping into the new means more than just leaving the familiar. It requires a shift. We all struggle to shift from time to time.  You are too important to miss this step, so have a listen so you can glisten! Rise and shine, and step into the new you were called to be, so you can do what you were called to do.Join me at the OWB, where your Word is just waiting for you to pick up and work for you so that you can breakthrough into the new and so much more.

There is no short supply of kindness, so why is there a decrease of it in circulation? People need to experience unexpected acts of kindness now more than ever. Sadly, many are not visiting the storehouse of kindness to reach in and send out their supply. Kindness benefits the giver as well as the receiver. This all sounds like common sense, so why is there still an unleveraged act? Come find out, and then grab your supply from the Breakthrough Land Storehouse! The OWB will be closed for the season, and will resume hours after January 20th. In the meantime, start sowing kindness. Wishing you a wonderful Holiday Season and a spectacular New Year. Be safe, be well, and be kind to one another.

How are things budding and blooming for you? Many are struggling with finding and experiencing bountiful outcomes, especially over these past several months of dormancy and latency. Whether we realize it or not, cultivation is occurring in us and in our lives--for the better or worse. So why not control your cultivation so you can bring forth the fruitful fruition you desire? Meet me in breakthrough land to gather your tools for some serious and strategic cultivation of good things to come!

Webster's Dictionary defines grace as a "disposition to or an act or instance of kindness, courtesy, or clemency; a temporary exemption." There is too much spewing of vinegar (bitterness, wrong intentions, cruelty, wrong-doing, public shaming),and not enough releasing of honey (grace, good will, covering shame). Whereas withholding grace stunts and sidetracks our individual and collective growth, operating in and giving ourselves and each other grace causes us all to grow. We, as human beings, are messy. So it's time we look past the mess in each other, and illuminate the treasure with the galore of grace. I know where there is a great gusher of grace; so come on, Let's go! We are heading to Breakthrough Land!

There is a lot of noise right now in our collective community of humanity, which serves to impede our ability to identify, see, hear, and meet the need. When we are unwilling or unable to see and meet the need because we are so clouded or focused on the noise, we continue to perpetuate and contribute to a toxic cycle of unmet needs, unresolved issues, and unhealed hurts, which diminishes all of us. The current noise generated from the echo chamber of misunderstanding, offense, and unreconciled differences that is resulting from the chasms of black lives matter and all lives matter is deafening. So, how do we look past the noise in order to identify, meet, and reconcile the need? Meet me in Breakthough Land to find out! Come on, let's go!

Too many people wear "busy" as a badge of honor; thus, missing the mark on making a dent and making a difference in their day--and of more profound importance: their destiny. I don't know about you, but I desire and strive to be productive over busy. If you feel like you are just spinning your wheels, or need to be better positioned to be productive, then join me today in breakthrough land. Come on now, don't put it off any longer. Put down your busy so you can pick up your productive!

While consistency should not be situational, we need it now more than ever. We must resist the urge to tether this constitution of constancy to specific events, situations, circumstances, episodes, and seasons. Consistency is an important stand-alone substance used to build an internal house of harmony and peace, providing a stable wrap-around fence to combat the emotional and mental waves of turmoil swirling all around us. Come with me, as we journey to breakthrough land and pick up some much-needed consistency!

It's time to cover new ground, Family! It is time to enlarge your territory. Especially during these times, when circumstances have caused us to lose ground, surrender territory, feel confined, hemmed in, and not much going on. Now it is the PERFECT time for capacity-building and gaining new ground. Start your expansion today by making a trip to breakthrough land.

Shaming people into silence will place us all in bondage. Grace is needed now more than ever, and is urgently calling you. What will you do? How will you respond? Let's hear what Grace has to say for such a time as this.

Celebration is our breakthrough word for today, Family. According to Webster's Dictionary, celebrate means "to honor, to hold up." Many of us need the breakthrough of celebration in our own lives. Celebrating others is the key to getting this breakthrough for ourselves (just make sure you are doing it for the right reason: which is, because it is the right thing to do). And right now, the lives that need to be celebrated the most, are those of our precious black brothers and sisters. In order for all lives to truly matter, black lives need to matter more than they currently do. So join me in learning how to celebrate those who both deserve and need it most!

When we were growing up, my two brothers and my sister and me, we would always try to get our mom to tell us who was her favorite. Whenever any of us would ask her who was her favorite, she would always respond "the one who needs me the most at that moment." I have agonized over these past weeks to find the right words to say, and I have struggled, because no words can ever be the right words in proportion to the atrocious act of barbarism that has been committed against Mr. George Floyd, Mr. Ahmaud Arbery, and countless other Black Americans. Right now, the black community needs us the most. They are our favorites right now in this time of great need. We owe it to our precious black brothers and sisters to lift them up high and comfort them. And because of this, Black Lives need to matter most right now. To my wonderful black community, I am so sorry. And I am here for you. Black Lives DO Matter, and they matter to me. I love you, and I pray God's Peace upon you. God bless you, Matthew #blacklivesmatter

You don't have to be a pitcher to throw a perfect pitch; nor do you even have to play baseball! The perfect pitch is your perspective on how what you do is received. Having the winning perspective is a key strategy to breaking through to your most effective you! After throwing myself a colossal pity party, I went to this position for a much-needed change in my vantage-point. So, what are you waiting for? Get your pitch ready and meet me on the mound!

During this time of pandemonium, it is more important than ever that we be intentional about what we are focusing on, and how we are nourishing our whole selves. So, what in the world does JELL-O have to do with how we equip ourselves during this shut-in time, so when we do go back into wide open spaces, we can step into new places? Have a listen, so you can get and maintain the victory, and come out better than brand new!

So, what in the world does soup on a roof have to do with perspective? In this episode, I discuss the strategy to improving or removing that situation you can't seem to shake. It all starts with perspective: gaining that right perspective, which then comes packaged with the strategy you need to break through and get the victory!

Gratitude is such a powerful internal tool that will take you to an entirely new place, unlocking hidden gifts within, and newfound opportunities in your life. In today's episode, we tap into this transformational treasure, and explore how to get into and operate from this place, and make it work for you, bringing breakthrough into new areas. So, let's get started!

Many of us have areas in our lives where we just can't seem to break through. These can be in our earning potential, careers, relationships, business or other endeavors. These are called set points. Once established, you need the right strategy, or the right words to break through and establish new set points. So, let's do that!
