I Choose To Win is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit, motivational and inspirational organization that seeks to edify, empower and equip women on their journey to live a life of winning (aka boldly, bravely and brilliantly unleashing their God-given gifts to impact the world). Comprised of programming, messaging, social networks and publications, I Choose To Win showcases, highlights and promotes positive images and stories of women who are winning.

Melonie Butler, founder of I Choose To Win, established the framework for the female-focused, faith-based, motivational and inspirational organization that mirrored her personal mission – to win in life. Winning, according to her definition, is not the winning vs. losing in a competitive environment, rather fully engaging a life in sync with her God-given purpose, passion and potential.  After struggling through a period of her life, which she coined a passionless existence, she was no longer okay with remaining unfulfilled – so she embarked upon a personal journey to learn again who she was by God’s design.

Upon reflecting on her own journey, she asked herself a series of what if questions, like these below:

• What if a generation of women was challenged to trust God with renewed vigor and stand on His promises with a hope-filled expectancy?
• What if these women peered into their souls to find the likeness of God, awaken to His purpose for them and ignite the passion buried deeply within?
• What if a generation of women believed what God – not society – says about them, their value, significance and worth?
• What if women recognized themselves as children of God perfectly designed and properly equipped to live the life God purposed for them?
• What if women refused to accept ‘what is’ as the end, and instead repurposed lessons learned from trials and turned them into stepping-stones for a promising future?
• What if women determined they were victorious and lived life as such? They win!

In her mind, ‘What if’ had become ‘what is.’ Butler accepted the responsibility to become a catalyst for this shift. She believed the charge on her life was to create an organization that edified, empowered and equipped women with a safe environment, key tools and people resources to help redefine winning aligned with their God-given purpose, passion and potential. Butler says, “we are not created equal, we each have different gifts, purposes, talents, and perspectives, which we need to unleash and operate in. Our gifts are to be given away for the service of others. When we are fully engaged with life, God is glorified.”

The organization provides motivational and inspirational programming and messaging in various forms from motivational speaking, retreats, workshops, mentoring, magazine publishing, social networks and more.

I Choose To Win is a bold statement of victory. It is a clear announcement of one’s expectation out of life. It is the realization that winning in life begins with a choice, followed by an attitude and accompanied by a series of actions. Together, let’s redefine what it means to win in life – and live a life of winning together!

At I Choose To Win, we believe each and every person is intentional. We believe that everyone is here to fulfill a divinely-appointed purpose. We believe each of us has significance beyond our natural understanding. More tangibly, we possess unique gifts, talents and perspectives that make us special and essential. When we operate in absolute authenticity, we get closer to finding out exactly who we are and what we were meant to do. And when awakened to that, it is up to us, individually, to choose in favor of victorious living, aka winning!

We developed motivational and inspirational programming that seeks to edify, empower and equip women on their journey to win in life. We help individuals awaken to their purpose and we partner with those who choose to pursue their passion, in an effort to glorify God.  We challenge women to reach their fullest potential. Through multiple creative paths of self-exploration and intimate group settings do we accomplish this.
