Galatians 6:9 Let’s not get tired of doing what is good, for at the right time we will reap a harvest—if we do not give up.

So what is B.E.S.T. 2 BETTER? It’s a way of walking out my calling that has generated more favor than I could have ever imagined! Here I am charismatic, contagious and captivating! YEAH, I can say that now but it hasn’t always been that way. So how have I gone from Blah to Bliss?

This Life Journey is about giving my BEST from where I am with what I have. It does not matter what I didn’t get, what she did get. Doesn’t matter that life is unfair or hard. It does not matter what he/she did or did not do! What does matter is that at every given moment I have the opportunity to CHOOSE to be my B.E.S.T. I get to be, great at me...

Enough about me, let’s begin by focusing on what YOU CAN DO! I will share with you what has brought me success for the past 2+ decades. It begins and ends with giving your absolute B.E.S.T. regardless of situations, circumstances and people. Now remember you are human and prone to fail and that’s okay. The goal is to be Persistently Consistent not Perfectly Contrived.

Below are a few ideas, insights and inspiration to begin your Best2BETTER!

B – Believe – Relentlessly seek to know what you’ve been created to express to this world. Uncover your Purpose!
TIP: Practice journaling daily. Set aside time to commune with the Lord so He can direct your steps. Hebrews 11:6 Now without faith it is impossible to please God...He rewards those who diligently search for him.

E – Enthusiasm – Joy is contagious! A positive outlook will bring about a positive outcome. TIP: Gratitude is a game changer. Think in term of the possibilities not problems. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Always be joyful. Pray continually, and give thanks whatever happens...You in Christ Jesus.

S – Service – Impeccable service is so rare that when it happens, it does not go unnoticed. TIP: Execute in excellence regardless of others and you will reap the rewards. Colossians 3:23-24 Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men...You are serving the Lord Christ.

T – Trust – Always value the trust acquired. Be the person who keeps their word; an Example, not the Excuse.
TIP:Replace YES with I’ll get back to you or ask How soon can I get back to You?These response reduce the amount of commitments made and promises broken. Titus 2:7 And you yourself must be an example to them by doing good works of every kind....

REMEMBER – No one can beat you at being YOU! Be your B.E.S.T. and let God do the Rest!
