The moment you say, “I’m Done!”

/

The moment you realize that winning and losing is not only an outcome, but more importantly a choice, is the moment when you’re confronted with the decision to choose. Win or Lose? In life, let’s choose to win. Believe it or not, we choose everyday, several times per day how we will approach the day, the attitude we have during the day, the tasks we will complete within the day and how much we expect from ourselves before the close of the day. The will to win in any task begins first with a choice. It’s followed quickly by an attitude that anticipates the completion of the task. Then, it requires the actions of undertaking the task. Before you know it, upon the completion of each small task, you experience a life of winning. Over and over again. It’s as simple as these three steps: First, Choose. Next, Align your attitude. Last, Complete the actions required to experience the WIN! Winning is realizing the potential within you for greatness. With God being your creator, and understanding that He purposed each of us with a task for His Glory, then we each possess a bit of greatness within us, for God is grand, almighty and awesome. His victory is ours, if we believe – and live it out. When we believe this – and can honestly say, “I’m Done. I’m done living complacently; wanting more and accepting less. I’m done giving excuses, procrastinating and telling myself ‘I can’t.’ No More ignoring my inner voice and suppressing my passion. I will no longer wonder ‘what if?’ because I’m ready to find out. I’m all in, in life, I choose to win! If this is you, welcome. We are here for you! Join us.

I Choose To Win challenges the idea of what it means to win in this life. Utilizing a compilation of introspective activities and employing creativity as a path toward self-exploration, the program comprises the following: Open-ended questioning, Journaling, Active Imagining, Public Announcement, Music Listening, Dancing, Photography and biblical scriptural engagement for each young woman to frame for herself what a winning life looks like. With no judgment cast, we help each woman carve the path she believes will get her to win in life. It begins with a choice, then an attitude and both come together to determine the appropriate actions for winning to ensue. I Choose To Win creates a pathway to channel the energy required to achieve the goal – winning. Program leaders and participants become a support system for those who choose in favor of winning.

It’s all in LOVE: God, Self, Others

/

Love God, Love Oneself, Love Others With an upward, inward and outward focus, I Choose To Win challenges women to love God completely, to love themselves correctly and love others compassionately. With a love-centered heart, our gifts are unleashed with power in every environment we are placed. Having a love-centered focus, we encourage women to see themselves, not as society does, but as God does: light, courage, salt and victorious. With this transition of mindset, we shift from being focused on our societal value of outward appearance, monetary gain, political affiliation and social status, to a spiritual value of eternal significance and impactful for God’s purpose. Also, by believing these, we put to death the sour fruit of self-consciousness, insecurities, self-image issues and jealousy. Women begin to see themselves as intentional, purposeful, bold, brave and brilliant. They become unapologetic about their existence – and become game changers as a result. These young women become future leaders, community mothers, decision makers, entrepreneurs, spiritual peacemakers, activists, advocates and such. These women are passionate, on fire for God and highly effective in their ministry (whether that’s art, music, family, leadership, serving, laboring, advocating, comforting, etc.).

Why I Choose To Win Matters

/ /

In life, it is important to understand who we are and what we were created to do. So many individuals yearn for the answer to the question, “what on Earth am I here for?” So much so, Rick Warren, the author of The Purpose Driven Life, sold millions of his best-selling book that answers that question from a biblical perspective. Today, with the nature of trending images, extensive social media platforms and the success of a few young celebrities, the media is doing a great job showcasing what many young women are striving to become and do with their lives. Too often, people are striving more and more to be like someone else, look like someone else, wear what someone else wears and live like someone else. It’s not what God intended. What’s happening is this millennial generation of women is choosing to either follow the trend or break the mold – and ours is a program designed for those who choose to break the mold – and win in life. With I Choose To Win, we would like to encourage a shift away from negativity, promiscuity and lackluster living. In their place, we encourage a hard push toward more positivity, humility and bold living by showcasing uniquely talented individuals on mission. With the speed of information delivery and accessibility of information, we are able to utilize the high visibility and repetitious displays of social media images to deliver positive images and messages of our winners. As an organization, we are promoting images and stories that uplift, edify and glorify God through the lives of the women. The I Choose To Win social campaign and program both highlight women doing positive things, their decisions to win and their actions to impact the world – one gift, one woman at a time. Naively, It is our hope that this energy will generate its own buzz – and cause other young women to be challenged by what they’re seeing and the life they’re choosing. I Choose To Win is comprised of individuals who said, “no more” to lukewarm living! Instead, we are bringing courage, salt and light to the environments and to the people within our sphere of influence (community, jobs, corporations, schools, etc.). As a collection of winners, we are bold, brave and brilliant women determined to live a passionate existence. And, until we meet our creator again, we receive the victory He imparted to us. We are women – decision makers – choosing in favor of an adventurous and meaningful life in Christ. Watch out, though. We will be unleashing our gifts, pursuing our passions, living boldly for all to impact the world around us. Watch. You’ll see. We choose to win!
