Do you feel like you keep repeating the same problem?  Could it be that God is trying to teach you something?  Life is a Classroom.  Learning doesn’t cease when we finish school.  Each day presents new lessons for us to learn.  Instead of getting frustrated with the circumstances, maybe you should view it as a lesson before you.  Start asking God, “What do you want me to learn from this situation?”

Are you living subpar because you see yourself as a victim of your past?  Well, you can become free of that mindset and start living as a victor.  Learn how to unshackle from faulty beliefs about yourself that keep you in bondage to the victim mentality.   

You should treat everyone like they are important.  We are all valuable to God, therefore, we should also value them regardless of their status in life.  Start Treating Everyone like they are a Celebrity.

Do you struggle with your self-esteem?  Maybe you need to see yourself the way the Lord God sees you.  You are precious and valuable to Him.  He knit you together in your mother’s womb.  He made you in His image.  Learn to value yourself.

Once a year we gather together to celebrate Thanksgiving.  It's supposed to be a day of reflecting on all of our blessings.  But why not do that every day?  God blesses us more than we can hope for or imagine.  The least we can do is live our lives with an Attitude of Gratitude.

Do you struggle with unanswered prayers?  Regardless of how diligently you pray, you haven’t received your answer.  Maybe this unanswered prayer is for your protection or redirection.  Maybe one day you will realize that those unanswered prayers were really blessings in disguise.  

Worry paralyzes you.  It is a waste of time.  Don’t be held hostage to the constant “what ifs”.  Instead live your life in the “What is”.  The present is a precious gift that you must enjoy.  Worry steals that joy.  Stop being a worrywart.  It will not change the outcome of anything.

The hardest part of any journey is taking that first step.  But until you get out of your comfort zone and make the initial move you will never reach your destination.  Do that hard thing first, be consistent in your endeavors, try new adventure, be bold and watch what happens.  Don’t let life pass you by.  Now is the time to Just Start.

Is something holding you back from achieving your goals?  Are you shackled to things, ideas, people, worries, fears or mistakes from your past?  Now is the time to become Unshackled from anything that keeps you in bondage from living up to your full potential. 

Everyone represents something.  Do you proudly represent what you claim is the most important thing to you?  Be your authentic self and don’t hide who you are.  Step out of the shadows and boldly stand for what you believe. 

Are you “a glass half full or half empty” kind of person?  Your mindset determines the direction of your life.   How you view your circumstances affect your ability to cope with them.  You cannot change the situations you encounter each day, but you can decide how they impact you mentally.  Our perception shapes our reality.  Let’s look at that today on Lightly Salted.

Learning something new is sometimes very difficult and frustrating.  It feels like we are climbing a mountain while wearing concrete shoes.  Learning curves are tough.  However, it is through our struggles that we achieve many magnificent things.  If we persevere, we will obtain a new set of skills.  Let’s look at the challenges and determination needed to reach the pinnacle of the Learning Curve, today on Lightly Salted.

What you consume will either contribute to your life or hinder it.  Nourishing your body is more than just eating the correct foods.  A diet consists of lifestyle choices.  Are you making healthy choices that bring life to your body, mind and spirit?  This podcast encourages you to be mindful of what you consume not just through your mouth, but also your eyes and ears?    

Do you ever feel like you are out of whack?  Obtaining equilibrium in your life is very important.  Some areas of your life may be in balance while others are not.  Our bodies are comprised of physical, mental and spiritual components.  In order to function at our optimal level, all three of these need to be in balance.  Watch out for those things that will derail you.  Balance requires dedication and sacrifice.  

Is your life too cluttered?  Do things fall on top of you when you open your closet?  Are there more things on your to do list than you can get done?  Maybe it is time to simplify your life.  Every second of every day doesn’t need to be filled to the brim and running over.  Declutter your mind, body, spirit, home and schedule.  Streamline your life so that you can indulge in things that really matter.
