A Big I.D.E.A.

We like the thought of having “life under control”… but nothing could be further from reality! It only takes one ‘txt. msg’, doctor’s report, stock report, phone call or accident to rock our world and remind us that life is seriously fragile.

A closer look at God’s Word reminds us to turn our focus inside, not outside. And although we can’t control life’s external circumstances, it is the internal choices we make that create our world.

Check-out this 'fab-four' and discover what God has to say about living your life with a Big I.D.E.A. After all, these are the only four things you have control over in life...

A BIG I.D.E.A.

• I – Integrity (Prov. 10:9)

         Live so that your private and public life have no daylight between them. Authenticity 
         creates self-confidence, trustworthiness and broadens your influence.

• D - Declaration (Eph. 4:29)

         Keep your talk positive, strong and forward. Talk about where you’re going, not where 
         you’ve been.

• E - Effort (Col. 3:23)

         Never be caught looking when you should be working. Opportunity is created by 
         effort.

• A - Attitude (Phil. 2:14-15)

         Without the right mind-set… skills and talents are irrelevant. Make sure the 
         atmosphere you create is healthy enough for you and others to grow in.

This Big I.D.E.A. reminds us that when we control everything we can, we are then able to handle everything we can’t. Stop trying to control people and things, and start dealing with yourself. Handle this quartet responsibly and life will be steady, strong and successful.
