Living In the Spirit


Recently, I met Susan Taylor who has been the driving force behind Essence Magazine.

Taylor is also a greatly sought-after speaker. She delivered an inspiring messages of hope and encouragement at the Salute of Excellence Award Ceremony, sponsored by the St. Louis American.

During her motivating presentation, Taylor ask us to reevaluate our lives and society and to create, a loving, productive and supportive community. Here are three principles that I learn during our brief meeting.

1. Attitude is Everything! - When it comes to everyday living. A negative attitude can destroy your best laid plans for your goals. Living well and happiness is a direct correlation with a positive attitude. Keep your head up and try to surround yourself with positive people and influences, while you look for the positive in daily business and personal activities.

2. You Must Have A Purpose! - You have a reason for being here on this earth. Has God given you a plan? If so, are you working His plan? A Christian’s purpose is to promote God’s plan and try to change others by making a lasting impression and a powerful impact on the lives of the people you touch!

3. Live Life to the Fullest! - Do not live minimally. Live life to the maximum! Climb that mountain with confidence.

Whatever challenge you are facing in life have the courage and attitude to live each day with a purpose.
