Elevate Your Expectation ____________________ ____________________ ____________________ ____________________ ____________________ ____________________ ____________________ ____________________ ____________________
Our expectations influence the
whole of our lives. Our
happiness, our health, our
marriages, our careers, our
relationships, and our abilities.
God has the power, but you and I
must have faith-The positive
expectation that God will work
things out.

Alter Your Attitude
____________________ ____________________ ____________________ ____________________ ____________________ ____________________ ____________________ ____________________ ____________________
Our outlook on life is the
paintbrush with which we color
our world. Each one of us shapes
his or her own life. The course
and direction, the quality or lack
of quality in our lives, are
determined by our habitual
choices of attitude. Change your
attitude, and you change your
life.

Conquer Your Circumstances
____________________ ____________________ ____________________ ____________________ ____________________ ____________________ ____________________ ____________________ ____________________
Our lives are littered with
circumstances we cannot
control. To control
circumstances implies that you
can guide, direct, and manipulate
things, but to conquer means
that you prevail, succeed, annex,
achieve, acquire, takeover,
obtain, and overcome.

Proceed With Passion
____________________ ____________________ ____________________ ____________________ ____________________ ____________________ ____________________ ____________________ ____________________
Passion energizes life. It gives
zest, zeal, vitality, and drive. It
makes you feel truly and
radiantly alive. Without passion,
days are dull, hours are drab, and
moments are filled with
boredom. God wants you and I
to live passionate lives.

Pursue Your Purpose
____________________ ____________________ ____________________ ____________________ ____________________ ____________________ ____________________ ____________________ ____________________
There is no greater goal, no
nobler aim, no more fulfilling
objective than to discover God’s
purpose for your life. Once
you’ve discovered your purpose,
you must develop it, pursue it,
and let it drive you to your God-
given destiny.

Confront Life Courageously
____________________ ____________________ ____________________ ____________________ ____________________ ____________________ ____________________ ____________________ ____________________
It takes an enormous amount of courage just to face the ordinary challenges of daily life. To believe that life can be better, to get ready for what you do not yet see, to make a difference in your world. Realizing that you can only change your world/community, if you are changed. You can embrace the future, only if you are ready for the future.

Deepen Your Discipline
____________________ ____________________ ____________________ ____________________ ____________________ ____________________ ____________________ ____________________ ____________________
By God’s grace, we must build
into ourselves a sense of
personal discipline. Discipline is
not easy, but it is effective.
Prayer, perseverance, patience,
and productivity all require
discipline.

Make Your Move
____________________ ____________________ ____________________ ____________________ ____________________ ____________________ ____________________ ____________________ ____________________
If you are going to succeed in life,
see your dreams realized,
achieve your goals, and make a
move! Stop talking, and begin
acting! Stop intending to do and
do!
Defeat is never terminal unless
you accept it!

Don’t Give Up
____________________ ____________________ ____________________ ____________________ ____________________ ____________________ ____________________ ____________________ ____________________
Look up!
Don’t despair!
Turn to prayer!
Don’t cave in to discouragement!
Persistence will win the crown!
Expect a miracle!
It’s worth another try!
