Empower is defined as-To give power or authority to; authorize, esp. by legal or official means.To invest with power, especially legal power or official authority.To equip or supply with an ability; enable.

“EMPOWER yourself to move forward with your hopes, your dreams and your ideas. Take hold of your vision, write it plainly and make a plan for running with it to a successful end. What is a better investment than an investment in YOU? Come on say it with me and make it personal: By the POWER invested in me, With the ability equipped in me, I hereby authorize me, to EMPOWER me, to make my thoughts, my vision, and my plan a profitable ROI (return on investment).


Now go forward and do great things. Take A.I.M.

YoTrip-Words and Thoughts for Monday, December 28, 2009-A.I.M. To Wn In 2010

Determined to define my outlook for the coming year, I have decided to take a three-pronged approach to my 2010 tag line.

“A.I.M. To Win in 2010”

AIM is defined- To intend or direct for a particular effect or purpose, to strive for a goal.


When I think of AIM I am lead to focus on the target or goal that is ahead of me. I thought that AIM needed legs (words) that will constantly make me remember and focus on it. For me AIM now means to: A-Aspire, I-Inspire, M-Motivate

Aspire is defined-To long, aim, or seek ambitiously; be eagerly desirous, esp. for something great or of high value. To have a great ambition or ultimate goal; desire strongly.

In 2010, I will continue to seek to ASPIRE to higher heights in my personal and professional growth and development.

Inspire is defined-To fill with an animating, quickening, or exalting influence. To fill or affect with a specified feeling, thought to influence or impel.


In 2010, I will continue to INSPIRE by sharing my gifts with others with the hope that significance is achieved.


Motivate is defined-To provide with an incentive; move to action; impel.


In 2010, I will continue to MOTIVATE and push those in my sphere of influence to be their best self.


A.I.M., is a simplistic approach to a winning formula for 2010. A.I.M is personal (for me), is communal (for us), and is essential. I believe with prayer, determination, focus and a spirit of perseverance A.I.M. is possible!

I am interested in your feedback, please share your thoughts before 2009 expires.

Thanks for being you, it does make a difference!

YoTrip-Words and Thoughts for Wednesday, December 23, 2009-Christmas:Past, Present and Promised Future

Emmanuel “God With Us” Christmas Card (Photo credit: Will Foster)

Happy Christmas everyone! Are you celebrating Christ Jesus? Emmanuel “God With Us”  If you did not know He is the reason for the season now and always! Enjoy the gifts and the giving, but remember He is the gift, and the giver!

I thought this was worthy of a repost… May your day be filled with joy unspeakable

 

CHRISTMAS literally means the Mass (celebration) of Christ. “Christ” is a Greek word and title, meaning “anointed” or one set apart by God for a special purpose. “Christ” is equivalent to the Hebrew word “Messiah.

“CHRISTMAS is a past, a present and a promised future. Christmas past is filled with thoughts of times gone by. The memories of childhood wonderment as the season’s lights dance in your eyes. Christmas present is upon us and the “dasher’s and prancer’s” are out and about in the madding rush to make someone happy for a day or two. Christmas promised future is the time hoped for in the distant coming soon, when we can get back to the real meaning of this time of year.

CHRISTMAS is a Mass Celebration of Christ, the “anointed” one who was given to us as the greatest gift the world could ever receive. Christ is the blessing that is our past, in our present, and in our promised future. Stay mindful that Christ is the reason, as you commemorate and celebrate the season.” 12/23/09

YoTrip-Words and Thoughts for Monday, December 21,2009-Building Bridges

“BUILD BETTER BRIDGES to reach significant places in your life. In order to build a better bridge for your life recognize the need for a plan (think it), a vision (see it), and a drive (do it). Bridges well built take us to a destination sure. Bridges built without thought, foresight and diligence usually lead to nowhere. What bridges are you building in your life?” 12/21/09

YoTrip-Words and Thoughts for Monday, December 14, 2009-Year in Review

“YEARS come and go. Ponder this: The year comes for us to look forward with expectancy of the day ahead of us. The years go for us to look back and learn lessons from the encounters we experienced. As we come to the end of 2009, what are your lessons learned from this year? As we approach 2010, what are you looking forward to with expectancy?” 12/14/09
–YoTrip

For me 2009 has taught me that I found comfort in knowing the Lords has kept us even when we did not deserve it. I continue to realize being innovative is required in a changing environment. I learned that it is important to use your gifts to be a gift to others. I learned that my world is full when I am surrounded with the love of the Lord, family, and friends. These are just a few of my lessons for 2009.

In the 2010, I look forward to expanding my A.I.M. (Stay tuned for an explanation). My yearly tag line will be “A.I.M. To Win in 2010“. I see 2010, with eyes of hope and a faith to know it will be full of greatness! What say you?

Growing

“Xerarch is growing in dry places. At first glance, this concept would seem odd, but after some pondering it is really a common occurrence in those who strive for greatness. Growth as a process usually requires water,food, and light to be able to flourish. Those who choose to rise above their surroundings of lack are driven by determination.” 12/11/09

WHAT IF?

“WHAT IF? Two words with infinite possibilities in how we may respond. what if you ruled the world? What if you won 10 million dollars? What if you lost it all? What if they gave you six months to live? What if you found a cure for cancer? What if your dreams came true? What if you can see into your future?
The “what if’s” just go on and on, so I wonder how would you respond to the “what if’s” posed to you?” 12/9/09
