Our words have power. Jim Daly shares how to block out negativity and inspire yourself forward with words of grace, hope, and faith…
Dr. James Gills learned the power of speaking positive words to himself by enduring the intensity of competition.
Dr. Gills' personal record for completing one of these events was a grueling twenty-seven hours and fifteen minutes.
Competitors suffer excruciating physical pain, extreme fatigue, and push the limits of human endurance.
To overcome that, Dr. Gills refused to listen to his body, which told him he was too old, too tired, and too weak to finish.
He repeated scripture and told himself all the reasons why he could keep moving forward and finish the race.
They bring order out of chaos, invigorate us when we feel like quitting, and help us achieve more than we thought possible.
When life gets tough, block out all your negative inner voice and inspire yourself forward with words filled with grace, hope, and faith.
