"The Next Great Bargain"

All my life I've wanted to discover myself, find my passion, and that special place.  It has been a journey of constant determination, uphill battles, and times of exuberance.  2013 is in full swing, and I am believing God for some great things this year.  I have taken the time to write down my goals for the year, and have to make a commitment within my heart that whatever comes my way that I have to be willing to trust God through, and pay my dues.  I have learned, and continue to learn that you can't get everything at a bargain price in life.  If I want a successful business, and a healthier life I must be willing to trust God, and realize that all the shortcuts lead nowhere.  No bargain deals for success, and a healthier life.  I think one of the greatest mistakes that I have made is in life is substituting things in life that I thought would bring me joy, peace, love, or success only to discover that I settled for a cheap imitation.  If I want love I must be willing to love.  If I want joy I must become joyful.  If I want peace I have to have peace myself.  So many times I have wanted something that I haven't been willing to sacrifice myself.  Today I realize that it doesn't work that way.  I love deals, and bargains, but God wants trust, and commitment.  2013 here we go.  The motto for this year is "Reaching New Heights"
