The television advertisements are everywhere. Apparently, Michelle Obama, The First Lady, is going to reveal a secret ingredient for tonight's "Iron Chef." The ads are around the clock. The background music builds and you would think that The President is about to reveal a "for eyes only" national secret. . The "SECRET" ingredient is tied to Michelle Obama. I find out that the secret ingredient is the White House garden. It was all just laughable, then I got to thinking about that phrase, "a secret ingredient."
We all have the secret ingredient. We just don't think about it most of the time. The secret ingredient is...You. You are your own secret ingredient. We forget that fact. The most important characteristic we have is the fire that is within us all. God gave that to us, each and every one. We just have to listen to our hearts and we will find out exactly what is our "secret ingredient."

BELIEVE OR NOT TO BELIEVE..THAT IS THE QUESTION..
In this economic turbulence you have the choice to believe things will be better, or not. I know many who are struggling right now. My life experience tells me the struggle is as much in thinking as with what is going on around you. Many have made millions of dollars on encouraging the buyer, in various ways, to do one thing. Believe in yourself.
It's just one word. Believe. It sounds so simple when you say it out loud. Believe. The rub comes when one puts that belief into action. When things look really bad, how do you believe they will turn around, when nothing "looks" like it will? Billy Graham has been quoted, "God is more interested in your future and your relationships than you are." If that is true, then we must decide to believe God has great things in store for us. Look up, pray, think on the good things and look toward the best that can happen, instead of the worst.

Freedom in the New Year
I just got off a coaching call that inspired me! Sometimes we are all afflicted with accepting less for ourselves. We forget we actually have rights! Yes, people of America, I am talking about our right to be free.
Most of the time we think of freedom in terms of the national perspective. I am talking today about our personal freedoms. We have the right to change our minds from poor thinking habits to successful thinking habits. Habits that do not work for us we can drop like a hot potato! The problem is that much of the time we just hang on to those thoughts or habits that are clearly not working.
Jesus said in Matthew 17, "the children of the king are free." If you believe, you have the freedom, you do. You can live in that freedom. Certainly, it is an act of will that we cannot allow to fall through the cracks. We must shore up those cracks! We are free this brand New Year of 2010. Walk and talk in your freedom. Change, you are FREE to do so at your leisure.
