"We don't get to control the length of our adversity.
You get to control who you are in it.
The fastest way to get from a season of adversity to a season of prosperity is to ... figure out where you need to work and get better and then it will turn at some point."
Favor isn’t meant to bless you, it’s meant to position you. This is why the weight feels heavy. Be careful not to covet the favor you see on others…you don’t know the battles they fight in silence! Favor comes with responsibility!
I heard a speaker say when you know who you are, flattery doesn’t go to your head and criticism doesn’t go to your heart…WHEW THAT WILL PREACH! I’m going to add and WHOSE YOU ARE! 🙏🏽
“It’s a process. It’s a way you go about doing things. It’s a high standard, high expectation, it’s accountability. It’s discipline, commitment, toughness, work ethic, pride. It’s wanting to be great vs. wanting to be normal,” Curt Cignetti
The difference is within you.
Feedback is important. But, you don’t grow by taking every piece of feedback.
You grow by taking the right feedback from the right people with the right motives.
How to know what’s worth listening to:
1. Credibility — do they know what they’re talking about?
2. Context — do they understand the situation?
3. Care — do they want the best for you?
If those aren’t there, it’s not feedback. It’s an opinion.
