Normalize not forcing connections with people.
It flows, or it goes.
If someone doesn't see the value in having you by their side, don't try to convince them.
Deuteronomy 28 says, “If you obey God’s word and follow His commands, then all these blessings will overtake you.” Favor that you can’t outrun, good breaks you can’t get away from, blessings that will chase you down.
"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." - Jeremiah 29:11
There’s something called the gift of goodbye. We see it as a disappointment, but really, they’re doing you a favor. They had to leave so you can see the greater things. There are levels you couldn’t reach with those same people.
You have to get your value from who you are and not what you do. Otherwise, you’ll spend your whole life competing with others, trying to prove your importance.
If you see life's challenges as being too big, that’s going to cause you to feel weak, discouraged, and intimidated. You have to shake off the lies. This is a new day. God is saying, “Every enemy, every sickness, every obstacle is not going to defeat you."
Do the right thing when it’s hard. Keep a good attitude when people are not treating you right. Go the extra mile when nobody is watching. You may not see anything happening on the outside, but on the inside, God is working. You’re getting prepared to go to new levels.
Membership has so much to offer and next week we’re going to release a new and exclusive member benefit every day from Monday to Friday to help our members achieve their career goals.

As we near 500 members we are as keen as ever to give everyone a chance to get involved and use the Network as a forum to exchange ideas and share challenges. We regularly have Open House sessions where our members determine the agenda. Our next session is Thursday, June 15th 1/4
Always leave the exit doors accessible. If someone wants to go, open the door for them. If you try to convince them to stay, their discontentment will become toxic. They will sulk in strife, and where there is strife, every evil will go to work. Keep going and building! 🙏🏼
