“Give Your Bags to God: Travel Light Through Life” In life, we often find ourselves weighed down by burdens: fears, worries, regrets, and anxieties. But the Bible reminds us in Matthew 11:28-30 that Jesus offers rest to those who are weary. He says, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me… For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Imagine this: life is like a journey, and God is the ultimate travel companion. He asks us to give Him the heavy bags—the ones filled with pain, doubt, and stress—and in exchange, He gives us a “carry-on.” This carry-on isn’t meant for burdens but for dreams, hope, love, and purpose. It’s light enough to carry with you through all the travels of life, from your highest peaks to your deepest valleys. What will you pack in your carry-on? Perhaps it’s your dream of becoming who God created you to be. Maybe it’s the courage to pursue your calling or the faith to trust Him through uncertain times. Whatever it is, know that when you let God carry the heavy load, your steps become lighter, your heart freer, and your path clearer. Today, let’s trust God to carry what’s too heavy for us. Let’s fill our carry-on with the dreams and desires He’s placed in our hearts, knowing He’ll walk with us through every season. Travel light, dream big, and trust deeply. What’s in your carry-on today? Share below and let’s encourage one another on this journey of life!

Acceptance starts from within. Ask yourself: What do I truly want from others? If it’s acknowledgment and love for who you are, begin by giving that to yourself first. #JillLublin #JillLublinShow

Balancing business responsibilities with a Christian calling can feel overwhelming. It requires courage and discernment to navigate between financial profitability, moral principles, and humble service. Prayer can help you stay close to God’s purpose and draw on His strength in your work. Every year, people worldwide celebrate World Kindness Day on November 13, hoping to inspire a bit more kindness in everyone. For members of Fellowship of Business Minds, it’s a time to return to our source of inspiration and reflect on how embracing the principle of loving our neighbors in business influences our Christian calling to serve others. As mission-driven businesspeople, we understand that kindness isn’t just for a single day—it’s not a trend that comes and goes; rather, it’s at the core of who we are and what we do. 🔗To read more about celebrating World Kindness Day as a Christian, click the link below! https://lnkd.in/ex6QyinM

You Are Enough, Always Imposter syndrome is something many of us face, no matter our achievements or credentials. That little voice that whispers, “What if I’m not good enough?” can sometimes feel deafening. But here’s the truth, You are enough just as you are. Your value doesn’t depend on a title, a degree, or external validation. It’s in your authenticity, your resilience, and the unique perspective you bring to the table. Growth and learning are constants, but self worth isn’t something you need to “earn.” It’s already within you. If you’re doubting yourself today, take a moment to reflect on how far you’ve come, the lives you’ve impacted, and the challenges you’ve overcome. You deserve your seat at the table, every single day. Let’s normalise celebrating our worth and supporting others in doing the same. Art of Brilliance 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 #ImposterSyndrome #SelfWorth #YouAreEnough #Leadership #Mindset

One fundamental human need is to experience a sense of belonging and connection with others. This connection not only promotes health and happiness but also acts as a shield against various physical and psychological ailments.   Our personal work at TA is to seek wisdom from Indigenous traditions that can greatly enrich our understanding of community and love. During Indigenous History Month and today, on Indigenous People's Day, we continue to reflect on the Seven Sacred Teachings, a set of guiding principles deeply rooted in Indigenous cultures that offer valuable opportunities for personal reflection on fostering a sense of belonging and respect for all.   One of these teachings is Love, which calls for us to care for one another, to be kind, and to show compassion. This learning is of focus as we enter the latter part of Pride Month. The LGBTQIA2S+ community has a personal connection to us at Thought Architects, as Margie highlighted in her blog last year. https://lnkd.in/gmbD9nmf (Yes - just for an update, the "kids" are still dating!). Consider that when you lean into love, you can create a more inclusive and supportive environment for everyone around you. This means that you are recognizing and celebrating the unique contributions, histories, and identities of those who need to be recognized most, and learning along the way about yourself.   By embracing the principle of Love from the Seven Sacred Teachings, we can work toward a world where everyone feels a deep sense of belonging and connection – more needed than ever in today’s world.   Who will you meet with love? It all starts with you.

Kelly Mizell 🌟 Catherine Pulsifer's quote, "Helping others, encouraging others, are often acts of being kind that have more meaning than you may realize," underscores the profound impact of kindness and support. It highlights that small acts of kindness and encouragement can significantly influence the lives of others, often in ways we may not immediately perceive. #CAROHITUPADHYAYA Helping others goes beyond merely offering assistance. It encompasses understanding their needs, offering support, and being present in times of difficulty. When we extend a helping hand, we contribute to their well-being and foster a sense of community and connectedness. These acts of kindness can uplift someone's spirits, provide much-needed support, and even inspire them to overcome challenges. They may find the strength and motivation to pursue their goals and dreams through our assistance. Encouragement, similarly, plays a crucial role in the lives of individuals. A few words of support or a gesture of encouragement can significantly boost someone's confidence and morale. It can be the driving force that pushes them to keep going, even when the path ahead seems difficult. Encouragement reassures people that they are not alone in their struggles and that someone believes in their abilities. This belief can be incredibly empowering and can help them realize their potential. The true power of helping and encouraging others lies in its ripple effect. When we help and encourage someone, it often inspires them to do the same for others. This creates a chain of kindness and support that can spread far and wide, touching many lives in the process. The initial act of kindness can multiply, leading to a more compassionate and supportive community. Moreover, helping and encouraging others enriches our own lives. It brings a sense of fulfillment and purpose, knowing that we have made a positive difference in someone else's life. It fosters a sense of empathy and compassion, making us more attuned to the needs and feelings of others. In conclusion, Catherine Pulsifer's quote reminds us that the simple acts of helping and encouraging others hold deep and far-reaching significance. These acts of kindness can profoundly impact the lives of others and create a ripple effect of positivity and support. By being kind and supportive, we contribute to a more compassionate world, enrich our lives, and inspire others to do the same.
