Daily Devotionals

I've talked about goals on previous podcast episodes and when it comes to getting ahead, we can't talk those things enough. Are you achieving your goals? Do you write them down? How are you doing with the vision God has for your life? You can indeed get what you want, but it's going to take speaking certain ways over your life and your business, thinking abundance, and grinding it out. It may take years, but years are going to pass anyway, right? So why not doing your thing in the process? You can get what you want -- we all can. Just know that it will take deliberate effort, is all. In Sharon's Heart Website In Sharon's Heart YouTube Channel In Sharon's Heart Instagram

Regarding protecting our peace, what do you do when you get emotional? And by the way, it's ok for emotions to be all over the place these days as long as we contain them and protect, maintain, and preserve our peace. So, what do you do when your emotions are starting to get out of whack? Doing something positive and productive helps sort those emotions out. One of the ways I protect my peace is during my reflection time with God. It doesn't matter how much noise is going on, I don't let the noise or the distractions throw me off. I maintain my peace and focus.  Don't let any person, place, or thing rattle you to the point of difficult return. Continue to do whatever it is you do to remain calm and relaxed. Continue to be honest with yourself, be positive, be productive, seek help from God and people, and do what it is you do that helps you become better.  In Sharon's Heart Website In Sharon's Heart YouTube Channel In Sharon's Heart Instagram

I have a question for you. Do you feel like a winner? There's nothing wrong with saying we're a winner. In fact, those are words that can change our mood. We can continue to say we are a winner no matter how much is coming at us. We can look ourselves in the mirror and say, 'yes I am a winner!' I do it all the time even when I don't feel like I'm winning. Having a positive attitude is never overrated, so even though our emotions may go up and down, we can still find a way to control our emotions by talking to someone and getting our feelings out. Just know that you are a winner, continue to believe that and say it over and over again.  In Sharon's Heart Website In Sharon's Heart YouTube Channel In Sharon's Heart Instagram

What are you doing to express your emotions today? If you're like me, they have been all over the place -- angry, sad, scared, and the process starts over again. Yet here's the thing: We don't have to stay in those emotions, because God gives us many ways to express ourselves in the most positive and productive ways. Although there are many negative and adverse things happening right before our eyes, the Lord says, be still and know He is God (Psalm 46:10). That means that although we may be more emotional these days, we can still talk about what we're feeling. Talking is an excellent way to protect our peace. We don't have to go through anything alone. Continue to speak up and speak out in the ways that work the best for you.  Keep God front and centered as you continue your relationship with Him. He will speak when you continuously open the doors for an exchange.  In Sharon's Heart Website In Sharon's Heart YouTube Channel In Sharon's Heart Instagram

There are still so many things we can do to protect our peace. What are you doing to protect yours? I love the ocean, the lake, or any natural body of water and today we were able to go view the waves when we went to the lake. It's amazing what that does to help sort things out, because it gave me another way to be at peace.  Even though we may be going through a rough time, the United States is still the greatest country in the world. That I know, so despite all we're going through, it's important to have a positive attitude regardless. Having a positive attitude doesn't mean saying what we think people want to hear. Having a positive attitude means we can be respectful, honest, open-minded, free to say what's on our mind, and continue to protect our peace in the process.  In Sharon's Heart Website In Sharon's Heart YouTube Channel In Sharon's Heart Instagram

When it comes to leadership, what do you do to protect your peace and the peace of those around you? Yes, we must continue the daily grind, however, protecting our peace may include doing things we're not comfortable doing. At the end of the day, it's about zoning in on who we are, taking more chances to increase positive and productive change, and eventually seeing the fruits of our labor.  In Sharon's Heart Website In Sharon's Heart Youtube Channel In Sharon's Heart Instagram

In regards to protecting our peace, be reminded that change is going to come -- positive change, but it will not come easy or fast. Yet, we must remain positive and productive nevertheless. The ingrained and deeply rooted power structures will not give in easily, so rough days are ahead. But there's always good news and that is God is still God and He sees the injustices that have been going on for decades upon decades. And just as He freed the Israelites from Egyptian "slavery", He will do the same for people today. Change must come and it can start with each one of us who have had long attitudes of separation and exclusion of certain people. That must stop and we can have people who sit among us who will help us think and operate differently if needed. That's not a problem at all. We have been "helping" people for many years and we will continue to do so as long as our help is respected and warranted. Stay encouraged and faithful, positive change is going to come.

When it comes to protecting our peace, what do we really stand for? After the many social media posts and protests, what are we doing to expand the message of systematic injustice? What are we doing to be creative or invent something that will help heal broken hearts and expand social change? Posting and talking are great, but what positive and positive things are we planning? How are we using our gift God has given us? If we're not doing anything more, then we're not part of the solution, we're part of the problem.  In Sharon's Heart Website In Sharon's Heart YouTube Channel In Sharon's Heart Intagram

This episode of protecting our peace is about staying true to our dreams no matter how long it's taking. Even though we live in crazy times of COVID19 and the other craziness that's going on, we can still focus on our dreams -- we can still focus on our vision for our lives. Don't give up on the plans the Lord God has for you. Nothing can come against the plans of your life, so keep grinding and keep trudging. It will come.  In Sharon's Heart Website In Sharon's YouTube Channel In Sharon's Instagram

In these days of protecting of peace, we are met with challenges. There's no doubt about that. We are hit with a pandemic called COVID19 and we have an uprising in the United States that is reaching across the oceans. There are many standing together to fight a system none of could ever have won anyway. It was a system of injustice and injustice is temporary, because it's build on intimidation and fear, which always loses out in the end. There are some who will always believe that power cannot be shared and as a result of that belief, there will be rough days ahead.  Yet, there's good news. Yes, Hebrews 11:1 tells us that we must remain faithful, we must remain "woke" (aware), and we must continue to grind (work very hard). If you come from the neck of the woods I come from then economic power is your friend -- economic power gets us in the room and we will have a seat at the table, which remember, God tells us we can have (Psalm 23:5). So, it doesn't matter if our enemies hate us or not, we still have a

In continuing to protect our peace, we have to get and remain focused on lifting our heads high in a collective gathering of holding hands during this difficult time. God is still on the throne and will have His way. It's a time to dig deep and to say: 'I will not be consumed by any of the affairs of the world. I will do my part to affect change and stay positive amidst a raging storm. I will do what eagles do -- I will soar above it and justice will be done. It may be a long time coming, but it will come. Yes it will.'  It doesn't matter where you were born or raised and it doesn't matter your past or your present, keep your head up.  In Sharon's Heart Website In Sharon's Heart Youtube Channel In Sharon's Heart Instagram

Today let's celebrate peace by continuing to protect, maintain, and preserve our peace no matter what is going on in the world. Let's continue to celebrate our peace by allowing ourselves to be at a good emotional place within ourselves instead of soaking up all the ugly injustices in the world. In this episode I go a little into detail about my upbringing and how I ended up doing what I'm doing today. Just know that we can still do what God has promised us He wants us to to, so stay encouraged as you continue to protect your peace in these challenging days.  In Sharon's Heart Website In Sharon's Heart YouTube Channel In Sharon's Heart Instagram

This day of the Protecting My Peace series is another day to reminder us to keep visualizing what we want for our lives. Sometimes we look around and if it seems like everyone is doing more than we are in our personal lives or business, then that's it! We throw in the towel. We can't do that. We have to stay with the positive and productive things we're doing even it it seems like we're starting low and not getting anywhere. Don't listen to the noise. Stay focused, because starting low is a good thing. It's foundation-building and it's process-experiencing, which leads to us be able to eventually help others after we get to where we want to go. You get it? What I'm saying is not to despise humble, small, or meager beginnings. Stay encouraged in what God has for you and you will get there in due time.  In Sharon's Heart Website In Sharon's Heart Youtube Channel In Sharons' Heart Instagram 

This is day three of the series within the series where we're talking about the Faith Model or aka the ABG Model. It's a model I have been using for years to climb to level to level. Although I'm far off from where I want to be, I've come a mighty long way by using this model. The model is: A-Affirmations, B-Belief, and G-Grind. Each one is important in climbing to the new and exciting levels the Lord God has for us. It's crucial to have all three. We can't level-up with just one or two. It's a continuous process of all three that repeats itself. Now, let's talk about Grind. Are you grinding? Are you showing up? Are you working? James 2:17 says faith without works in dead, so we have to show up and "show out" for ourselves if we're going to achieve the goals we want in our lives. When we have all three, we're on to something amazing, yet the glorious process continues on and that's perfectly fine.  In Sharon's Heart Website In Sharon's Heart YouTube Channel In Sharon's Heart Instagram

We're still talking about the Faith Model, aka the ABG Model, which is A-Affirmations; B-Belief, and G-Grind. The Faith Model is the reason I still show up everyday and it's why I still help myself and help others. It's what makes me tick from sun-up to sun-down. It plays into my "why" kinda sorta. The button line is that we have to believe in something bigger than ourselves in the spirit and in the natural. For me, it's Jesus Christ, as well as, my friends, my coach, and a few others. We have to believe positive, productive, and powerful things over our lives. We are what we think we are (Proverbs 23:7). Who and what do you believe?

Sometimes I get a common question about how I continue to show up and maintain consistency. Today I'm going to share with you how I changed my life for the better. It's called the Faith Model or the ABG Model, which is A-Affirmations: speak positively and powerfully over our lives; B-Belief: believing great will happen in our lives; and G-Grind: doing the work that will get us where we want to be in our lives. Today we talk about Affirmations. Affirmations is about positive self-talk. Are you speaking positively and powerfully over your life? No matter what happened, is happening now, or will happen, we can speak what we want. We can also pray to God (Jesus), which is speaking and communicating with Him through words.  The Faith Model has worked and continues to work in my life. That's how I keep showing up and moving from level to level. And that's how I help others in my coaching to do the same. We can all get what we want in our lives. It just begins with faith -- the Faith Model. In Sharon's Heart We

Do you know God's vision for your life? Or I should ask, do you know the part of the vision He gives you a glimpse to see? If you know your vision, then great. If you do not know your vision, then keep seeking God (Matthew 6:33) in finding out the big picture He has for your life. How do you do that? Continuously talking to Him and asking Him questions. Knowing our goals and our vision is a big part of protecting an preserving our peace. Write down your goals somewhere and keep them in the same place. It will really help your life. Really.  In Sharon's Heart Website In Sharon's Heart YouTube Channel In Sharon's Heart Intagram

When we think about protecting our peace, we can remember that sometimes there will be supporters/helpers and sometimes there will not. If we are ok, focused, and diligent in getting what God says has our name on -- next level, then we will be just fine. It's when we start getting distracted and off our post that we start sinking. When we stay in a positive/productive emotional space then we will recognize sincere genuine authentic support/helps when it comes. So don't get "mad",  get glad; no worries, just be happy.  In Sharon's Heart Website In Sharon's YouTube Channel In Sharon's Heart Instagram

Regarding protecting our peace, let's talk about support or lack thereof. Do you get the support you want from the people you want it from? If so, awesome. If not, well it's probably not you. It's that we want support from people who may not be able to give it. If people are drained and running on empty, we can't expect them to support us. And whether they support us or not, we have to go ahead without them and proceed full stream forward. Don't let lack of support bother you. God will bring in the people who are best for you. You just wait. It will happen.  In Sharon's Heart Website In Sharon's Heart YouTube Channel In Sharon's Heart Instagram
