I know for myself I am always attracted to warriors and their way of living. There is just something different about them. This post reveals a project I have been working on for several years and in hopes to be completed in 2024!

This post is to help anyone initiate a lifestyle of faith and fitness into their life. Pick one or incorporate several initiatives into your weekly training routine.

Tough conversations can happen every day. Though, having hard conversations should not change your view of a person. It is good to talk about any topic, but in a loving way. This post is to help believers share their faith and help lead someone to Jesus.

We hear the phrase 'there is a reason for everything', but the truth is 'there is a season for everything.' Right now you might be in a season to reconstruct from the ground up. Feelings of hopelessness could surround you as everything is being removed to the bare bones. Though, this doesn't mean that life is not over yet. Maybe a resurgence of life is on the horizon.

During this pandemic I have felt God speaking to me. Though, God doesn't audibly speak to me, but what I hear is: 'Let my people know that I see them!' God sees you during this time of hardship and difficulty. He wants to speak with you today. Take time to listen to Him, because He sees you and cares about you.

We see signs that tell us to drink and play responsibly. What would God possibly tell us? He could tell us to live responsibly, but the most efficient way to live responsibly is to live righteously.

Those we surround ourselves with has a huge impact on our lives. If we surround ourselves with people who are growing then we will desire to grow. Take time and reflect on your current surroundings of people. Do they see the best in you and try to draw it out? Seek those people out.

A healthy habit to routinely do is self-reflection. As you reflect have God scan and search your heart. This keeps us accountable and makes sure our actions are done for the greater good.

Learn to dress yourself for the day ahead of you. When you are becoming a better version of yourself a major aspect is to learn to dress yourself in the presence of the Lord.

Sin can be a hard topic of discussion and blocks our understanding of God. Sin doesn't just remove ourselves from God, but also removes all of us to be the best version of ourselves today.

People can get into a cycle of proving and comparing themselves often. This leads us to be critical and hard on ourselves. Learn to love yourself the way God loves you.

When you forgive yourself you will free yourself. This is a very important step to take to become the best version of yourself.

God himself gave us the greatest gift of all, Christ himself. Similar to looking to God's character and who He is. We need to look to Christ for who He is. How Jesus lived, walked, and talked. Mainly, we should look to how Jesus chose to suffer for all of us and we can relate to that suffering cause everyone struggles in life.

The first step in becoming the best version of yourself is to seek God. He has developed your best qualities. His love releases the best in you, but before you can know yourself we should seek to know God. Ask Him yourself and see how truly good He is.

2020 is finally here and the focus of new year resolutions will begin. This year, simplify your decision and strive to be the best version of yourself.
