Manage Yourself

I don't do this very often, but I thought it may be good to go back and pull some notes from the sermon this past Sunday. I have been in a series dealing with each persons struggle to become all that God intends for them to become. You can pick up the scripture basis from chapters 3 & 4 in the Gospel of Luke. I believe it is critical for a person to manage the life that they are given if they are going to reach their full potential. I'm sure that I picked all of these up from some of my reading, or listening to a sermon on my ipod. So hopefully this will help you Manage Yourself.

1)Manage your Emotions. Feelings will fool you. Stop allowing your emotions to dictate your life!

2)Manage your Time. Try to maintain some semblance of a schedule. You have 10,080 minutes in every week. Use them efficiently!

3)Manage your Priorities. Your priorities will determine how you spend your resources. Evaluate!

4)Manage your Energy. Make sure you are not spending your energy on things that are not a priority. You are not the Energizer Bunny!

5)Manage your Thinking. Don't allow clutter in your thought processes. Think on the good things!

6)Manage your Words. The power of death and life is bound up in your words. Be careful of what you say!

7)Manage your Personal Life. Take care of proper relationships. Value the people God has given you!

Managing your life is a full-time job. But if you will work at it, the progress you make will serve as a great reward. So get to it - "Mr. Manager!"
