How to win your day?

Are you hitting your day with the intention to win?  Are you setting yourself up for the week, month or year with the aim of pushing yourself closer to your personal goals?  Or are you constantly saying when is this week going to end?  Or is your weekly mantra "can't wait for Friday".

We must not take time for granted, we are all provided with the same 24hrs each day by the grace of God but what we each choose to do within that time will determine what we get out of it.

I want us to be intentional with our thoughts, our activities, our choose of conversations, the materials that we take in and everything else that makes up your life.  I want you to  ask yourself an honest question.  "Am I intentional about everything I do in my day?"  Think hard about that  answer with honesty.  Whatever that answer looks like for you,  I want you to be intentional about continuing your intention filled life or start to make the steps to become more intentional.

Listen in as we look into this more.

Be Blessed

Hey, It's your gir Selina Davis host of Butt-Nake wisdom coming to you with an pisode. And today I want to tal to you guys about winning. Are you aiming to win? Now I kn w we're aiming to get somewhere n life, we're hoping t at life progresses in some kind of direction. But are y u being intentional with ev rything you're doing in order to win? Are you increasing th energy over anything is that you are doing right now, whether you are working in a position hat you absolutely love, and you are pushing hard in that p sition, because you want the ne t step, or you want to ensure hat you are excelling in the osition that you're in to m ke sure you're maximizing the t me that you have wit in that Corporation. Are you a usiness owner, and you may h ve just started or you re very successful, and there are new levels in which you wa t to go to? Are you excel ing and maximizing your eff rts? In everything you're doing? Are you increasing it daily? are you setting ourselves goal daily? Are you being intentio al with everything you are doing in your day? Now we know that th ngs can happen in our days, bu with a great start to your day, you can definitely make some gre t moves forward, you can definit ly make some great achievements in that particular day. Bu it all starts with you be ng very intentional about you wa ting to win. Now I know, ag in, for myself, and we spoken ab ut this before, there are thi gs that come into our lives t at will come to hinder us, even when we are striving to move orward. Now I'll give you an example today, I know my mind i set to move my life forward. An I have an aim for probably t e first time in my life wher I know where I want to go, I kn w where I need to be. And I kno what I need to do in orde to get there. I don't know eve y step. But I know what my mo ivation is, I know why I want to do what I'm doing. And I'm jus moving forward. And I believe G d is in it. And he is driving me and has given me this passion nd this drive to want to do it. Now the beginning of my day, I r quested something from somebody and it hit me hard, it kind of made me sad, because sometimes hen you are asking other people to help and support you, their a enda is always to make them fe l good. Now I meet What I mean by that is I ask somebody for so ething. And as a result of t at they were seeking to be glori ied for helping me out. nd that instantly made me q ite sad because I do things not ith the intention of wanting to receive something back because I want to do it. Now if the pers n comes back to me, and, you kno, gives me accolades, or says th nk you, or whatever it may be, hat's a plus. But it's not he very reason why I'm doing s mething in the first place. And t's not something that I'm eeking, because I constantly ke p doing stuff, regardless of wha people say what people think o me how they feel about me whet er they want to acknowledge hat I'm doing or not, I'm going o do it and make make sure hat I'm doing with the right in ention. As long as I know, I ave the right intention, why be ind why I'm doing what I'm doing then I can't control the respon ibility or have somebody else's eaction to what I'm doing. So it kind of hurt me and kind of set me back and I had to shake mys lf off. And just know that i's just things that are go na keep coming to push you back hen you are pushing yourself orward. And in multiple other things, you know, even down to i sues in my house are happen ng, you know, whatever it is, it s gonna do those things to sh ke your foundation to really se if you are staying on course, and are being thankful and gra eful in the period of this jour ey that we're on. So I really want to know, are you guys real y being intentional with everyth ng? Are you being intentional in your relationship? Are y u being intentional with your f nances? are you setting aside hat you may have in this period nd this season, to push you self or propel yourself forward? Are you changing the way that yo think? Are you being intentio al with the material that you are reading, that you are me itating on that you are speaking about a debate and about di cussing about or listening about feeding yourself with that info mation? Are you being intent onal IE being intentional ith the conversation that you're having? Are you intentional ith the friends that you have th circle around you who those peo le are? Are those things intenti nal, or have you when looking ba k at it or even in its current tanding scene that there is noth ng that you've really put in p ace and it's just things happe in and it's just been like his for such a long time. It's kind of become comfortable. S you're not really thinking ith any sort of intent, just with an hope that today will be better day than yesterday, or hat you have a hope that as l ng as I get through t

Then it's good, or as long as I get to Friday, then it's good. But you really don't have anything within this your plan for the week to make any progression forward. So then you find that every week is the same, because you're constantly waiting for the end of the week to happen, or the end of the day to happen on the end of the month, or year, whatever it may be, you are constantly waiting, and just moving because not with any form of intention. So I really want you to be honest with yourself, and look within your mind within your heart and say to yourself, am I moving with the intention of progressing to a space, a place a mindset of where I want to be tomorrow, tomorrow, next week, next year, next month, whatever your projection of goals are in your life, and I'm not talking about financial goals, I'm not talking about acquiring asset goals. I'm even talking about the baby steps of moving things forward in the way that you're thinking feeling. Grasping your own emotions, understanding who you are as a human being, what you want to do on this earth while you have been graced with the time, and really looking at things that you can do to be intentional. So I really want you guys to really start looking at things that you can do to win in your life, and be intentional with every single thing that you're doing. Just understand that you have been given the grace of a day, and an hour, and a minute and a second. So use those. Use that time wisely. Use that time because you have control over that time. Once that time is gone, you cannot get it back. You cannot go back and rewind and and say I need to get a Thursday or Friday back is gone. So then you have to then be intentional about your tomorrow and be intentional about the next day and be intentional with everything you're doing so that you can set your day up the way in which you want it to be set up. So I hope that this has encouraged you and really allowed you to just stay still for a minute. Analyze your life right now. Tell yourself am I being intentional with everything that I'm doing? And I answer that question honestly. And if you are not make the steps to be intentional with everything that you are doing in your life so that there is a progression moving forward towards whatever your goal may be. It's not my goal is not Instagrams goal is not Facebook's goal is not your neighbor's goal is not your mother or your father's goal. It is your individual call, whatever that may be, I want you to win. And I want you to be intentional with your aim to win, though I hope that this has helped you. God bless you. Let's continue to become better human beings together so that we can help those around about around us to also be the same. Thank you so much and speak to you soon.
