COT:
NMTA Not Meant To Arrive
There are 4 Pillars of arrival:
Can’t arrive. This is a negative mindset. You don’t believe in yourself and we need to fix that immediately.

Has arrived. You’ve made it, now what?
You’re not trying anymore. Afraid to take chances, because you might lose the title. Do not stop. Continue to set goals!

Will arrive. Once XYZ happens, then I’ll be happy. There are people sitting in nursing homes right now, still waiting on XYZ.

Not meant to arrive. This is where we should all strive to be! Become the next best version of yourself. Enjoy the journey just as much if not more than destination.
My development has no end. There is always more to learn, always more to do, and you can learn from every situation and everyone.

Be “Blissfully Unsatisfied!” Brothers!

”Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires.“
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37‬:‭4‬ ‭NLT‬‬

COT:
Q discussed the secret message of the Thang
Discussion about kicking cancers @$$ especially Q who was diagnosed with leukemia over 7 years ago and the importance of battling through every hard thing.
Q shared battle cry of Psalm27: 1-3 and Philippians 4:13
On the way to work this morning while listening to a podcast a discussion about Philippians 4 was held. Most people think of that verse as if we rely firmly on God we can accomplish things, but if you look one verse prior it talks about through the highs and lows, good, bad and in between, we praise God. Let’s not forget that important piece and Praise God with every difficulty just as much as every good thing.
