Graduation Gift Alert: Give Your Graduate a Gift that says, “I believe in your power, passion, purpose and potential!” I Choose to Win is offering this seasonal fundraising ‘BELIEVE’ book filled with winning motivational messages – assigned to the images of that special young lady in your life. As young women embark upon the the next and new chapter of their lives, it’s great to receive a book reminding them of all the positivity they will need to support them through this transition. It’s our desire for women to awaken to their purpose, passion and potential so they become impact players in the world, where they are making the world better and glorifying God with their lives. It’s super important these young women see themselves as valued, significant and necessary – so they won’t ever shrink, conform or follow the patterns of the world. Instead, they will believe in themselves, exude confidence, and see themselves as capable and able vessels with a purpose. This book is a great coffee table item as well. Let’s edify our women. Together, we win! How it works: Order it Online Pay $65 (cost includes layout, messaging and shipping). Payment accepted here.

In January 2016, Temple Women’s Network invited and partnered with I Choose To Win for a Day of Mentoring. In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s birthday, together we served the young women in the community with an impactful self-reflective session.

#ichoosetowin Magazine

/ / , , , , , , ,

The newly created I Choose To Win magazine is a vehicle to highlight and feature everyday women who are winning in life. In addition to sharing personal stories as each woman defines winning for herself, we offer tips and tidbits for women to stay edified, empowered and equipped on their own journey. Primarily featuring millennials, from teenage years to early thirties, these women have had a revelation about the way God desires to use them in daily living. Not all women follow the typical path ministry, yet are equally effective for His kingdom by being God-honoring women in their line of work. As a result, they impact those in their sphere of influence. While some are pursuing passions placed within them, other women are enjoying the path of an unknown final destination – adventurous living in the Lord – just living life daily and responding in obedience to the call. The I Choose To Win magazine celebrates the diversity of stories and journeys our featured women candidly share. It’s a positive, quick read. Take a peek.

Be Bold, Brave & Brilliant!

/ / , , ,

BE BOLD Being bold is not being loud, bossy, rude, pushy or obnoxious. It’s not drawing attention to yourself to satisfy an insatiable need to have all eyes on you or every ear awaiting your thoughts. It’s bigger and better than that. It is being convinced, convicted and confident in whose you are and the purpose placed in you. It’s being okay with who you are by design and being unapologetic about being exactly who you are. Be bold and win! BE BRAVE Being brave is not being overly aggressive, in-your-face or bully-like. It’s releasing courage in the face of conflict, injustice and undeniable obstacles that appear greater than your known propensity to deal. It’s not knowing the outcome, but doing the “right” thing while you have a chance. It’s standing up for something you believe in, even if you are standing alone. It’s you in most environments when you are made to feel small, but you leave satisfied knowing you spoke up, stood up and did what you must. Be brave and win! BE BRILLIANT Being brilliant is not being a know-it-all, smarty-pants or rocket scientist. Not at all. Being brilliant is truly a command, because you cannot achieve brilliance on your own. It is the shining of your inner spirit that creates the glow, which illuminates from within and permeates your environment for others to bear witness. Brilliance brightens the world. It’s knowing and loving God. It’s loving yourself. It’s loving others. It’s light. It’s beautifully majestic. It’s attractive. It’s an irrefutable glow. Be brilliant and win! By design, you have been custom-built to achieve a purpose of significance, which you are on mission to discover and uncover throughout your lifetime. Until such time when your purpose has been fulfilled, every living moment becomes part of a bigger journey. And every journey leaves a trail of experiences that help to define the gifts, talents, skills and perspectives placed in you that will cause you to be effective in His purpose for your life. Once revealed, it’s up to you to unleash your gifts for God’s glory. Do not shrink back in fear. Do not diminish the significance of that gift. Do not play it down. Do not lack confidence. Do not be conformed. Be bold, brave and brilliant. In doing this, you will also find yourself confident, intentional and effective. Give 100% effort every time. Whether that is speaking, singing, teaching, serving, laboring, playing an instrument, leading or healing – do your absolute best as unto the Lord. The hidden treasures that await you include joy, excitement, internal satisfaction, greater meaning and inexplicable peace.
