What is Commitment?
Commitment is a promise 
Commitment is a promise to do 
Commitment is a promise to finish 
Commitment is a promise to see it through to completion 
Commitment is not only the words
Commitment is the energy 
Commitment is the thought 
Commitment is the action and activity that exists behind the words
Commitment is the world behind the words
Commitment then transforms into the consistent action behind the words
Commitment  speaks to your inner intentions 
Commitment speaks to your inner will
Commitment speaks to your inner drive 
Commitment speaks to inner determination 
Commitment speaks to your inner Self
Commitment becomes a consistent, daily, regular, routine, part of your day and life

Personal Empowerment is Today, Each Day, Everyday, One Day At A Time!

Welcome To Empowerment 365
Empowerment Through Spiritual Guidance

Today it is important to focus on YOU. Practice placing your attention on YOU. Begin today to develop your thinking by managing your feelings, moods and emotions. When YOU have practiced doing this enough (being Consistent), YOU will be in a better position to allow God to use YOU. When your mind is clear and YOU learn and understand your purpose then things begin to make sense. By all means pray, seek quiet time, utilize relaxation and visualization techniques. These methods will allow YOU to sit with him, talk with him and will offer YOU support, comfort and advice. YOU will be surprised at how much he really listens to what is being said and thought during your quiet time. Each day consistently practice utilizing your tools (Effort and Ability), always remember to honor your Covenant Agreement and most importantly remain Committed to and focused on your Personal Development goals. If YOU continue to practice daily, God will open doors that no man can close and close doors that no man can open. Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths.

 Today And Everyday, Expect Victory! I AM and because I AM GOD IS!

Think On This Today:
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails." 1 Corinthians 13:4
