ChapterTwo:
31-DaysMotivations

Introduction

The 31-Days Motivations were inspired by the Scripture:“… each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is.” - 1 Corinthians 3:13 (NKJV).

In December 2017, I (Martina) was reflecting on the end of another year and prayerfully talking during my meditation with the Lord. He revealed the word “Transformation,” because many of us take December to review the end of one year and prepare for another year ahead.

Both December and January have 31 Days, so I decided to choose key words clearly revealed to me as motivation and meditation for my Clarity Coachingpractice.

My hope is that you will reflect and think about these transformative words and Scriptures to make successful changes within your life. All Scripture references are from the New King James Version of the HolyBible.

31 Days of TransformationalClarity

Day 5 – ALIGNMENT: One of the keys to clarity is aligning your core values to yourvision.

Day 6 – AFFIRMATIONS: Declaring with your words to make positive and impactful change in your life and the lives of others. “These things I have spoken to you, that in ME you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” John 16:33 

Day 7 – COMMITMENT: Consistently taking steps, big or small, in pursuit of your passion or long-term relationships. Scriptures: “Commit your works to the Lord, And your thoughts will be established.”  Proverbs 16:3; “Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass.” Psalm 37:5
