Some women set New Year's resolutions every January 1st, while others set goals. Some do it at the end of the year in preparation for the new year, while others choose to set goals throughout the year. Many create quarterly objectives.

It is a familiar experience for many of us to feel our initial enthusiasm for our goals fade over time. This is a shared struggle, not unique to any one of us. Regardless of gender, we all find it challenging to sustain our resolutions or goals.

Does no one want positive change in their lives? 

Of course. Our deep desire for positive transformation in our lives is a common thread that binds us. The issue is not a lack of desire, but often the need for enhanced diligence and commitment.

Often, what is needed is a boost in our diligence, a quality we all possess and can enhance.

Is this not also true of our very faith in Christ? 

If women are not diligent in keeping our eyes on Jesus, we easily grow tired of...

Women all have things that happen in their lives that cause them to lose hope. It could be losing a job or not getting the promotion they were anticipating. You may have to move away from family and friends to start in a new home.

When a cherished dream dissipates, have faith that God has a fresh dream in store for you:

• A different path
• A new journey
• A new calling
• A powerful message
• A renewed passion

Even in the face of your loss, trust that God, the ultimate comforter, can alleviate your pain and develop something innovative within and through you.

2 Corinthians 4:16-18 KJV - "For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are...

I have the confidence and creativity to find solutions and act no matter what challenges hinder my path. My handy tools—affirmations, positive self-talk, and meditating on God’s Word—are like weapons that help me defeat any obstacle.

I use affirmations to help me build effective habits and attitudes. Good habits make good choices easy and automatic. Confidence and an optimistic attitude can get me through just about anything.

Using positive self-talk throughout my day boosts my confidence. Whenever I do something well, I congratulate myself. When I reach even the smallest goal, I celebrate my accomplishment. When I make a mistake, I remind myself that I am human, seek to learn from it, and move on, unaffected by the delay.

I ask myself how this challenge can help me when I encounter an obstacle. When I find a way to continue...

As we meditate on the holy Scripture, we are reminded that our purpose in life is not to please the people around us but to serve the Almighty. The Bible enlightens us that living our lives in service to Jesus enables us to do everything for His glory.

These profound words act as seeds of hope planted in the depths of our minds. When nurtured, they blossom into beautiful and fruitful actions that become evident in our daily lives.

The battle for righteous living starts in our minds, and the Word of God is one of the most powerful tools for keeping our thoughts focused on the Lord.

If women want to succeed, stay focused, and be motivated, we must fuel our minds with truth. A truth mindset reminds us that we are never alone, and God is with us and there to help us through every part of our lives.

Motivation is one of my life's most important psychological aspects. Nearly everything I achieve is accomplished because of my motivation, which I continuously...

The Bible offers valuable advice on goal setting. In Philippians 3:14, the apostle Paul states, " I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." This verse encourages us to keep our focus on the goal and strive toward it with God's assistance.

1 Corinthians 10:13 KJV – “There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.”

I vanquish all obstacles in my journey to happiness and fulfillment. I use the help of my friends and family to accomplish this, and I also rely on my God-given inner strength and courage to fight.

I create goals that help me overcome any challenge.

I use my talents and skills to plan strategies that destroy obstacles. I understand it takes several steps to eliminate a challenge. However, I can lean into the...

As we embark on the journey of setting our goals, it is crucial to keep in mind the role of God. He is the ultimate source of guidance and inspiration, and His presence in our lives can help us make meaningful and purposeful goals.

Clear goals can help us to be more effective in our good works. When we know what we are working towards, we can concentrate our efforts and ensure we align with God's will. Furthermore, clear goals allow us to measure our progress and see how far we have come.

This can motivate us and encourage us to keep going even when we face challenges. When we seek His wisdom and acknowledge His existence in our goal-setting, we open ourselves up to a world of possibilities and opportunities that align with His desires for us.

With God as our guide, we can navigate through life's challenges and obstacles and emerge stronger, wiser, and more resilient than ever before. Remember, God can only make our paths straight if we are willing to walk on...

You can be sure that life will sometimes be a twisting path of “potholes” around which you must navigate. You have likely already been through phases of your life where you wondered if your luck would ever change. Then, things calmed down, and you discovered the smoother, straighter road.

Jeremiah 1:19: They will fight against you, but they will not overcome you, for I am with you to deliver you, declares the Lord.

Regardless of where your journey leads, it is important to continue making progress toward meeting the goals you have established for yourself. During tough times, staying focused on what you want in life will keep your spirits high and bring you joy.

Setting and meeting goals can help you create rhythms of discipline in your life. With its timeless wisdom, the Bible offers many insights that can inspire and guide us toward achieving our goals and aspirations.

Whether through stories of perseverance and determination or the wisdom of ancient proverbs and sayings, the Bible can provide valuable lessons on what motivates us and how we can use that motivation to succeed in various aspects of our lives.

You cannot believe they did it. Of all people, turning on you this way. You want to react in kind, drawing on the anger flowing through you to lash out. Make the other person hurt every bit as much as you do right now.

Wait a minute. You are not that person. You do not want to BE that person. You are better than this.

But how do you stop anger in its tracks before it gets the best of you?

1.  Do Something Grand

Take your anger and turn it into activism. How can you use this to change the world? Volunteer.  Get involved in the community and make the world a better place.

2.  Forgive

This technique falls under the expert level of anger management. By being the bigger person and forgiving the other, you will find you no longer have reason to be mad at all.

3.  Pay Attention to your Muscles

Like walking, exercise is good. Also, anger tends to tighten you up, so a good stretch, or even better, practicing progressive muscle...

By choosing your words carefully and meaningfully, you can improve relationships in every area of your life.

1.  Show Empathy

You can use affirmations to show the other person that you see their feelings and acknowledge them. Affirmations can be used as a component of active listening. Listen to what they are saying without interrupting; when you speak, you reflect on what they said. You acknowledge where they are and give them space to vent, celebrate, or get their message across.

The key to showing empathy is not contradicting or negating their feelings. Do not offer advice or give a contrary opinion. Just stand with them in their space.

2.  Be Authentic

Make sure your affirmations are coming from a place...
