It may look dire now, but you have to do everything that you have to see how it ends, and then you learn to live with the result.” “Are you using your journey to grow, to inspire, to help others?” “The goal cannot be perfection. And because there's no way you can know how this thing is when you're going through it, you have to give your absolute best and let the chips fall where they may.” “Success is sharing that benefit… Whatever we gain is not just for us, it's for the benefit of people we come in contact with.” BOOKS MENTIONED: The Magic of Thinking Big by David J.

====================================================SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1=======================================================================VIRTUOSADevoción Matutina Para Mujeres 2024Narrado por: Sirley DelgadilloDesde: Bucaramanga, Colombia===================|| www.drministries.org ||===================08 DE JULIO¿QUIERE DIOS QUE TENGAS ÉXITO?«Siempre se cosecha lo que se siembra» (Gál. 6: 7, NTV).En su libro El éxito no es casualidad,* el autor cristiano Tommy Newberry plantea algo muy interesante: ¿Quiere Dios que yo tenga éxito? Como sabes, muchos cristianos se preguntan si está bien ir en pos de ciertos tipos de logros, o incluso si es correcto el concepto mismo de querer tener éxito en la vida.Para responder esta pregunta, él se hace otra: ¿Quiero yo que mis hijos sean mediocres? ¡Por supuesto que no! De hecho, lo que uno quiere como padre creyente es que sus hijos tengan una relación personal con Jesús, que se casen con una persona de fe y que luchen por sus propósitos en la vida (o lo que es lo mismo, por vivir una vida con propósito). En suma, una madre cristiana desea para sus hijos que lleguen a ser todo aquello para lo que fueron creados, y eso es exactamente lo que quiere Dios (tu Padre) para ti, que eres su hija.Dios no desea la mediocridad para sus hijos, ¿por qué habríamos de conformarnos nosotros con ella? Él nos ha creado con talentos maravillosos para que los desarrollemos; abre ante nosotros posibilidades enormes para que intentemos alcanzarlas; pone en nuestro corazón deseos y sueños que es bueno intentar lograr, siempre y cuando tengamos claro que es él quien los ha puesto ahí (es decir, que no se trate de ambiciones de grandeza personal y terrenal, sino que estén en sintonía con los principios del evangelio). Si, como mujeres cristianas, tenemos problemas con el concepto de éxito, tal vez sea porque pensamos que solo existe una manera secular de definir el éxito.¿Qué significa para ti ser exitosa? La definición que da Tommy Newberry me parece la conclusión perfecta para esta reflexión de hoy: «La gente exitosa es aquella que ha aprendido a aplicar consistentemente las leyes de Dios en su vida; que atribuye sus logros al enfoque cristiano, el trabajo duro, las buenas relaciones personales, la perseverancia y la bendición de Dios. En contraste, quienes fracasan o son mediocres son los que no tienen una dirección. Van con la corriente; sus vidas están dominadas por las circunstancias y les sobran las excusas».Una vida de máximos: máximo servicio a Dios, máxima ayuda a los demás, máximo deseo de no conformarte con la mediocridad, máximo avance hacia elevadas metas cristianas; he ahí el éxito verdadero. Máxima fe y máxima dependencia de Dios.«El éxito verdadero es el servicio máximo a Dios». Tommy Newberry.* (Illinois: Tyndale, 2008), cap. 1.

These, along with a "milking the cows" mentality (it didn't matter if you were tired, in a bad mood or a relative had just died, the cows still had to be milked) created strong mental health habits and a solid sense of purpose. Linda went from milking cows to waiting tables as she worked her way through college where she earned her Undergraduate and Graduate degrees in Home Economics and Secondary Education. She taught in the public school system for ten years. During that time, she started her own in-home business and, over the next 38 years, built a multi-million dollar sales organization both nationally and internationally. Linda has trained tens of thousands of businesswomen around the globe in life and business skills. She is the mother of two and grandmother of two.

On this episode of The Lead Up Podcast, Mike is on his own today for episode 308 to share with you why mindset matters and how you can begin to strengthen your mind for success in all areas of leadership and life. Mike is also going to share with us 3 books he highly recommends, three practices you need to implement to create habits around, and three ways you can protect your mindset as you strengthen over time. Mike remembers a rhetorical question asked by a speaker, “Do you want to know what the next year or next five years is going to look like for you?”. As he listened the question became more interesting as he was in a growth period and looking for life's easy button. His answer which stuck with Mike was “Your life one year from now, your life five years from now is going to be exactly like it is right now, unless you change the way you think”. Mike goes on to share his three ideas to shift your mindset. Read good books. Surround yourself with people who think differently than you think and bigger than you think. Invest in a coach. The three books Mike recommends are The 4:8 Principle by Tommy Newberry, a biblically routed mindset book, As A Man Thinketh by James Allen, a small book written in 1902 but the principles are still the same, and finally Mindset by Carol Dweck, which teaches the difference between growth and fixed mindset. After touching on the personal journey he's been on, Mike gives us three tips to sustain our mindset. Get proper rest, without your phone. Eat really well Be really good with your exercise habits All the links to the books are available below and to check out some more information and see the partners of the podcast go to LeadUpPodcast.com.

Have you ever had bad things that happen to you? Yea, me too. Do these things prevent you from moving forward? Is it possible to view issues in life another way? I'm talking to you today if you're tired of issues in life holding you back. Today is for you if you feel like a victim but it's got you stuck. Today is especially for you if you need more power in your court to fulfill your calling. Life happens. We all have terrible, crappy things that happen in our lives. Do we let those things be a period in our lives or a comma? Commas give you pause, and then you move forward. Periods stop you in your tracks. You get to decide how you view what happens to you. Are you going to pause and learn from that problem and then move forward? Or will you let that thing stop you from doing what God's called you to do? You can decide if that circumstance is a comma in your life or a period. I want you to look at the periods in your life and the events that have held you back. Then ask God to show you how you can turn this issue into a comma, how you can pause, learn and move forward.

How can you experience joy, no matter what is happening around you? Our guest today is bestselling author and founder of The 1% Club, Tommy Newberry.

Listen as we discuss the 4:8 Principle and why it is so important to our joy and wellbeing both personally and professionally. In a world where fear and negativity are rampant, we can shift the narrative and bring about positive change in our lives and for others. Tommy Newberry is the author of seven books—including the New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller, The 4:8 Principle, as well as the motivational classic, Success is Not an Accident—both of which have been translated into dozens of languages. He is also the founder and head coach of AchievingOPTIMAL, an organization focused on helping Christian entrepreneurs and their families maximize their full potential.

What do when you feel discouragement, trouble, or hopelessness? Who's there for you when you are going through the muck? Do you need encouragement, but it's not coming? In the Last episode, we talked about how we can encourage others. Today we're talking about one more person that needs encouragement…You. Today is for you if: Your going through hell and back and don't know where to turn. You're hopeless, and no one seems to be there for you. Even if you answered you have no one to help you through the muck, you could still find the encouragement you need. In the Psalms, David showed us how to encourage ourselves. Read Psalm 103:1-5 NASB 1 Bless the Lord, O my soul, And all that is within me, bless His holy name… Notice “O my soul.” David is talking to himself. “Hey soul, pay attention to this”! David is reminding himself of how good God is. We lose heart when we feel like drowning in painful circumstances or treading water in the daily grind. We need to encourage ourselves daily that: Our Heavenly Father is good. Being In Christ can change our lives. What we see is not all there is to life. Here are some ways we can encourage ourselves: 1. Remind When you're in those moments of discouragement, remind yourself of something God has done for you in the past. Here are some Scriptures to remind you how good God is to us. John 3:16 2 Corinthians 5:19 2 Corinthians 5:21 Ephesians 1:6 2. Journal When you experience something wonderful, no matter how small, please write it down then you can go back to it again and again. 3. Music Music fills our souls and lifts our spirits. Most of the Psalms came straight from David, creating music to lift his soul. Find your favorites and put them in playlists for easy access. 4. Read Read the Psalms or the gospels in your Bible. Engaging with the life of Jesus encourages you. Philippians is full of more scriptures on joy, and Paul was in prison when he wrote it. You can also read a book to encourage yourself. Try The 4:8 Principle by Tommy Newberry. It's all about our thought life; by choosing our thoughts, we can experience a state of joy beyond our circumstances. And, hey, you don't have to be down to encourage yourself. You can use encouragement to enjoy your life that much more. Take Action: What is one way you're going to encourage yourself this week? Or, what is another way you like to encourage yourself that you can share with us? Let me give you one way if you need an idea to encourage yourself. It's the gift that keeps on giving. Journaling is a way to heal and gain clarity, peace and joy, all while connecting you more deeply with God. Want to learn more? Jackie Trottman has two new Journal classes coming up in mid-September 2022.

I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.”   Ephesians 2:8–10 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast.

Welcome to The James Quandahl Show the space where I interview the world's experts and share how you can live your life to the fullest, be present and connect deeply with others, and build the life of your dreams. On today's episode I sat down with Tommy Newberry the New York Times Bestselling author of The 4:8 Principle. For more than 30 years Tommy has coached greater than one thousand business leaders and their families to success not just at work, but also in their faith, family, wealth, health, marriage, and many other areas. Tommy challenges us to imagine our dream life 30-years from now, and then work on making that dream a reality.  He asks you to consider what would happen if you were unafraid of anything in your life. If that were true what would you do differently right now? And imagine a life where you only dwelled on the positive and negativity was by appointment only. Finally we discussed a lot about parenting and the importance of preparing your kids to deal with adversity. And to say, “This is great!” When they have a struggle they need to overcome. There is so much to uncover in this conversation, so please give it a listen, and enjoy!

On this episode of The Lead Up Podcast, Mike is joined by Tommy Newberry! Tommy has been coaching entrepreneurs, business leaders, and couples for over 30 years. Tommy explains how his niche is working with people who are entrepreneurial in mindset, who are leaders, and who want to reach the next level financially but refuse to do it if it requires compromising their faith, family, or health. Mike and Tommy discuss the system Tommy has created, aimed to help entrepreneurs get from where they are now to where they want to go with predictability. They also speak about Tommy's book, The 4:8 Principle. Tommy shares how he began writing the book 18 months prior to it being released. He explains the ideology behind the book as being a guide to help people realize that they can take command of their thinking and that when they do they take control over the rest of their life. Tommy states that the five practical questions he has created to help people achieve this are: What am I grateful for What are my recent victories What are my strengths What am I looking forward to and excited about In what ways can I increase my service and value to others Tommy mentions how you can take any of these five questions and give them a time frame or quantity. Mike suggests you don't even need to create more time in your day to complete these questions, you can answer them while you're in the shower or at the gym. Mike asks Tommy about how his book and the principles he teaches within his writing help someone who needs to focus on their well-being and how people can use the knowledge provided In the book to replenish the mind. They also talk about the increase in self-image issues and how it impacts people's daily lives. Tommy speaks about taking control of your mindset and how your brain is the hardware and your mind is the software full of a collection of beliefs and expectations we have created for ourselves. You can find out more about Tommy on his website.

Sobering Facts About ThoughtsHere are some fascinating statistics from a study done in 2020.According to this insightful study, humans average around 6,200 thoughts a day, and they tend to be on the negative side for most of us. No wonder you and I seem to be in a constant state of dealing with damaging “thought worms!”I love the way Tommy Newberry puts it in his book, The 4:8 Principle.“The secret conversations you hold in the privacy of your own mind are shaping your destiny, little by little. With every thought that races through your mind, you are continually reinventing yourself and your future. This is either good or bad news because every thought moves you either toward your God-given potential or away from it. No thoughts are neutral.”If you want to see a significant shift in old habits, change your thoughts and change your life, give these tools a try.Tip # 1 – Supervise your self-talk.Tip # 2 Stop comparing yourself to others.Tip # 3 – Stretch your limiting beliefs.Tip # 4 – Build up others.Here is the link to the article.

This one is real and raw. Life is chaotic. The world is chaotic. We can get stuck in a rut... or we can get fulfilled. Here are my 4 tips to finding fulfillment in the chaos. Link to 4:8 principle by Tommy Newberry https://www.amazon.com/Principle-Secret-Joy-Filled-Life/dp/1414313047

Can you think of a time in your life where your peace and joy were more under attack? Everywhere we turn, we're faced with more chaos. While the media feeds on our innate desire for the negative, God is calling us to begin to think differently. Scripture says that the joy of the Lord is our strength. If we lose our joy, we lose our ability to fight. Maybe the reason some of us fail more often than we should is, we've lost our joy?   On this episode Pastor Randy reminds us that true joy is found in Jesus, and encourages us to choose joy, even in the midst of turmoil.    Resources used/referenced in the message:   'Righteousness, Peace, and Joy' (Ron Kenoly)  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5k8TVYJUjgA   'The 4:8 Principle' - Tommy Newberry

This is the start of 30 Days of How to Live an Extraordinary Life. Most of us really do want to live extraordinary lives, but often get caught up comparing our lives to others. Is it wealth that makes one extraordinary? Fame? A high intelligence? Is one only extraordinary if they travel the world or become an award winning athlete, actor or politician? What constitutes extraordinary? How about you? Are you ordinary, or extraordinary? In his book, Success is Not an Accident: Change Your Choices Change Your Life, author Tommy Newberry writes, “If you want to lead an extraordinary life, find out what the ordinary do–and don't do it.”  What are the odds of someone being exactly like you? Scientists estimate that the probability of you being born, exactly as you are with your DNA, personality, intellect, skills, interests and such is about one in 400 trillion. Think about that for a moment. One in 400 trillion! You are already extraordinary, just by being born! Now, stop comparing your life to others and make a choice to grow into your extraordinary existence today. Its not just about wealth, fame, or extraordinary smarts because you are already extraordinary. It’s time for you to BE it! This has been Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day… Now, go out and be fruitful!  

Behind everything you do is a thought, and each individual thought contributes to your overall character. How well your mind works dictates how much joy you experience, how successful you feel, and how well you interact with other people. No area of your life is untouched by your thoughts! In this edition of the TIME with Fred Podcast, I discuss this topic with my special guest, Tommy Newberry. Tommy is the author of the New York Times Best-selling book, The 4:8 Principle. Using powerful concepts from Philippians 4:8, Tommy shares that the one thing in life over which we have complete control is our thinking.  To learn more about Tommy, visit www.tommynewberry.com

Available On:   iTunes  | Google Play  | Stitcher  | Spotify Charles Mayfield, both an early adopter and leader in the paleo nutrition world, got started down this road based on personal desire to put the best, healthiest, and nutritious food on the table for himself and his family. His intention recently expanded from that to now include being responsible for raising healthy livestock and taking care of our land, making it sustainable and renewable for years and generations to come. Charles is the co-author of one of the first cookbooks ever written for paleo recipes, is the co-founder of Atlanta Strength and Conditioning, and is the owner of his own farm, Mayfield Pastures, primarily for providing pastured poultry, pork and beef for his family while building the size and infrastructure to expand his operation and offerings to his local community. Charles is also an avid hunter, gardener, distiller, and BJJ enthusiast. This was a particularly fun interview for me as Charles and I connect on so many things at so many levels. He was an early adopter of CrossFit, he attended the CrossFit Games in 2009, the one in which I competed, he was friends with Robb Wolf before Robb was a known figure, and he co-wrote one of my favorite of all time paleo cookbooks! When I met him at Paleo FX, I was amazed that we hadn't spent more time getting to know one another prior to that time. Charles' farm adventure is incredibly inspiring, considering the fact that he's only been at it for 2 years. After reading and studying the likes of Joel Salatin and regenerative farming, he decided to take action (many of us never get to this part... thinking about an idea for years before doing anything to move forward.) Moving his family from Atlanta to rural Tennessee, he built a regenerative farm with chickens, pigs and cows, and his entire family is reaping the rewards of it today.

Moving animals on the land to take advantage of the natural eating and elimination cycles of each different types to maximize the impact on the ground. Confining and moving chickens around with a  moveable fenced in area connected to a tractor (like a playpen). Using simple, lightweight, electrified fencing to herd and move cows and pigs.
