Refreshed!

This year I am taking the initiative to invest in myself. I have so many talents, dreams, aspirations and plans for myself that I know I need to invest in some training and education in order to fulfill these things at the best possible level.

One of my training initiatives included attending a youth leader training conference. I just returned from said conference this past weekend. It was amazing!

Surrounded by people who are working in the same field, experiencing the same challenges, feeling the same frustrations... It was so encouraging to know that I am not alone! Plus, to receive practical, credible, real tools to help make me a better youth leader was priceless. I have so much material to chew on, I will be riding this high for a while and reaping the benefits for a lifetime!

A lot of times we can get caught up in the doing of something, that we don't take time to improve on the doing. Usually it takes a crisis or some other negative reaction for us to change course. The if it ain't broke, don't fix it mentality... But imagine finding out that there are a plethora of other shiny, fabulous tools that can do so much more for you that what you're working with!

God has blessed you to be the fabulous you that you are. Yet, He has also blessed other people to help you to be a better, more fabulous you! He's given them wisdom, experience, and insight to help your journey to destiny go a bit more smoothly.

Take advantage of those gifts! Search out the opportunities! Spend the money to get the value added to your life! You are worth the investment. In fact, investing in your success is the best investment you can make. You are so worth it!
