Do the decisions you make every day have an impact on you? Yes, they do. If you make bad decisions, then bad things will happen. If you make good decisions, then good things will happen. Basically, life is about choices.
My special guest is Paul Moore. Paul graduated with an engineering degree and then an MBA from Ohio State, then started on the management development track at Ford Motor Company in Detroit. After five years, he departed to start a staffing company with a partner. They sold it to a publicly traded firm five years later. Along the way, Paul was Finalist for Ernst & Young's Michigan Entrepreneur of the Year two years straight.
Paul later entered the real estate sector, where he completed over 85 real estate investments and exits, appeared on an HGTV Special Real Estate episode, rehabbed and managed rental properties, built a number of new homes, developed a waterfront subdivision, and started two successful online real estate marketing firms. Three successful developments, including assisting with the development of a Hyatt hotel and a multifamily housing project, led him into this arena. Paul is married with four children and lives in Central Virginia. Learn more about Paul at https://www.wellingscapital.com
Sometimes I struggle with wanting to get even with others. If I allow it, it will consume my thoughts. WOW! I can't believe I'm admitting it, but if we are all honest, we all have these thoughts.
But what does God's word say about getting even? Romans 12:19 states "vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord." So, when I'm trying to get even I'm taking my focus off God and I'm getting in His way. Think about this, what I can do to someone pales in comparison to what God will do.
We all need counsel in our lives. God's word is very clear about this. So, why don't we seek counsel and what does it mean to "seek counsel"? Also, there is good counsel and there is bad counsel. What's the difference? Listen to find out!
I personally lived as a "split-rail" Christian for most of my adult life. I was open about my faith when asked and "tried" to live according to God's word each day. But in reality, I had separated God from my life. I went about my day-to-day business using God when I needed Him and leaving Him out when not convenient. This dichotomy of existence caused internal issues within me that rose to the surface as both the inability to control my temper, frustration, and bitterness. Then one day it hit me! I couldn't live like this anymore. Something had to change. It was time to become a man of God. If you are at this point then take a few minutes to listen. You will learn what's holding you back and the 3 steps you can immediately take to get on the right path. Nathan Tabor is the founder of Handling Life.

I've been rejected numerous time in my personal and professional life. It's a hard fact of life, but each time it happens it hurts. At one point in my life, it deeply affected me and how I dealt with others. Take a minute and learn how I dealt with rejection. You might be able to apply it to your life!
Stop gossiping and talking bad about others and start praying for them. James 4:11 states, "speak not evil one of another" and James 5:16 states "pray one for another, that ye may be healed."
This is a hard principle to follow, but we must fight the urge to kick someone when they are down. We need to focus on praying for others. Do you agree or disagree?
Does it matter who you hang around? Yes, it does. Why? Well, it's simple. A rotten apple WILL turn a good apple bad. In 1 Corinthians 15:33 it states, "Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners." This means that bad company corrupts good character.
Do you agree or disagree?
Hope you will take a minute and listen!
Do you feel like you are clearly telling someone something, only to get into an argument about it later? Well, you aren't alone. It happens to me and it happens to everyone.
But don't lose hope! There is a simple solution. Take 5 minutes and listen to this podcast and you will learn a proven technique on addressing this situation.
How does "watch where you park" apply to my life? Well, I guarantee you it does. Why? Because perception is reality and we must be careful what type of perception we show to others.
Remember, 1 Timothy 4:12 states, "be thou an example."

Are you setting limitations on God? Or are you assuming He can only do certain things? If so, then you are boxing God in and it's time to stop. Remember what Matthew 9:26b says? It states, "with men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." It's time to start letting God be POSSIBLE in your life!
