Here’s a thought for your Monday morning, and your week ahead:

“At the end of the day, at the end of the week, at the end of my life, I want to say I contributed more than I criticized. It’s that simple.” – Brene Brown, Dare to Lead

And here’s a thought for your year:

“How about this be a year that we work hard to embrace what the Lord has declared over our life and make that the only thing we say?” – Bill Johnson

We get to choose to strengthen and build and encourage others by what we say. We can make the same choice in how we speak to ourselves. Change your language and see if things don’t start to change around you and inside you.
