Recently, I had a conversation with a friend who shared that although we're only a few weeks into 2024, he was having difficulty tapping into his goals. It dawned on me that when we start setting new goals without renewing our identity - we can find ourselves slipping back into old habits. Until we hone in on the type of person we need to become to reach new heights, we'll continually find ourselves sabotaging the dreams of our future selves.    This week, I will be talking about The Mastery of Identity. You are more than you know. There is power in your mouth and your mind to launch you into all God has CALLED you to be. Every morning, I have disciplined myself to recite a 12-point identity statement that reminds me of who I am and the vision of my life. Today, my challenge to you is to create an identity statement, and I'll give you specific details about what your statement should include.    Family, I want to encourage you to send me your statement, and I'll read it on an upcoming episode to stand in agreement with you.
