Leaders of Valor (LOV) ~ Leadership Done The KING’s Way!

Live 365 Grateful: The Count Your Blessings Every Day Challenge!   Hi Leaders of Valor (LOV),   I pray you had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. I love taking time as a corporate body to be thankful and grateful. But, what about the other 364 days per year? Are we taking time each day to write or verbally acknowledge all of the blessings gifted to us by GOD? If not, let's start now!   When we contiually focus on the blessings we are gifted, our mindsets will transform into more positive and blessed ways of thinking. We stop focusing on what we don't have and focus on what we are blessed to have each day! This is what I call the 365 Grateful mindset.    Each day, please challenge yourselves to take 5 mins during your commute to school, work, sports practice, or before bed each night just to list things that you are blessed to have. This can be something we often overlook, like toothpaste or a warm bed to major things like our kids returning from school safe and sound each day. If your kids do not have major health issues and you are able to get out of bed each day to go to a job that you hate, yet it provides a warm meal, warm beds, and warm hearts, be grateful. Everyone cannot experience these blessings.    I recommend doing this practice with your kids, friends' group, close neighbors, etc. Each day, set aside time to go over a list of things you are grateful for experiencing or having within the past 24 hours. It only needs to take 3-5 minutes, yet it will transform our thinking and our dispositions as we continue the practice. This will become a great habit and will teach our kids, friends, and others to live grateful. Will you try this with me?   Remember to live for purpose, in purpose, on purpose, and with purpose. Be 365 Grateful!   Dr. Trin   #LeadersOfValor - Full podcast on Podbean www.trimaniconsulting.com

LOV: Successfully Navigating Life's Transitions:   Torment What's Tormenting YOU! Hi Leaders of Valor (LOV), We all go through life transitions. They are inevitable.  They will happen to all of us regardless of race, ethnicity,  how we identify, education level, social status, or political party affiliation.  Transitions are inevitable. One of the ways I've learned to successfully navigate life's transitions is to torment what's tormenting me! If it is a financial torment, I give to others who are less blessed.  If I'm anxious about a business contract,  I help others with theirs.  If I feel stressed about an upcoming conference, I seek out and help other speakers perfect their routine! I am consciously trying to torment what torments me. I want to invite you to do the same.  What does this do?  It takes the constant "my circumstances are horrific " mindset off of us and let's focus on other people and their needs for a moment.  I believe "I just happened to meet someone who is going through it as well"  moments that we go through are Divinely orchestrated and, if navigated appropriately,  can help us successfully get through our own situations in the midst of helping others.  Let's plan to Torment What's Tormenting US!  I have seen great results from it and I bet you will as well.  Remember to live for purpose,  in purpose,  on purpose,  and with purpose. Be blessed. Dr. Trin Full podcast available on Podbean.  Search: Leaders of Valor - Leadership Done The KING'S Way! #LeadersOfValor www.trimaniconsulting.com

Embrace the Transitions of Life Hi LOV, I pray all is well in your world.  There are so many transitions in life that we can sometimes become overwhelmed with it all.  Transitions and changes are inevitable; therefore,  we must learn to live through those Transitions and make them work for our new normal.  How do we do this? 1. Get a great support network around us 2. Remain positive and hopeful 3. Embrace the transition and live in the moment. These are the keys to successfully navigating life's many transitions. Change will come to all of our doors - and it isn't polite. It won't knock, but will barge in without being invited.  How we respond to those changes will determine the quality of our lives during those transitions. Let's not hold on so tightly to the past or try to rush so quickly into the future that it causes us ro miss the beauty of the present. Choose to embrace the new normal and find joy and beauty in the now.  You alone determine the outcome of life's transitions.   Determine to move into them with vigor, vitality, and the wide-eyed hopeful perspective that this is the best time of life yet!  The change may be difficult,  yet that change, if navigated successfully, can propel us forward into our best seasons and the greatest triumphs in the stories of our lives! Remember to live for purpose,  in purpose,  on purpose,  and with purpose. Be blessed and be a blessing to others! Dr. Trin www.trimaniconsulting.com #LeadersOfValor   Have an awesome day!

Y'all remember when parents didn't have to constantly answer the question "but why?"  Y'all remember the look you would get when you questioned something they told you?"  I surely remember the look I received many times after asking, questioning, and requizzing my parents on something they already told me.  I also remember the halting words that would freeze all of my questions in their place: "Because I said so!"  Now, I know things are different today.  This timeless phrase still works though.  Try it! Its rough sometimes to see the rainbow because all we see are clouds.  Why try? Today, I was reminded of why I should keep believing,  keep trusting, keep preparing, keep showing,  up, and keep planning even when things do not look like I will conquer all. I hope this blesses and encourages you as well.  Many of us have been waiting for "our moment."  Whether it is a new baby that GOD has promised,  a promotion,  a new home, a nod of approval or acknowledgment from our boss for a job well done, a recognition of improvement from a spouse, or otherwise,  we must remember that what HE Promised will come to pass! In Genesis 22:16, GOD told Abraham that HE swore by HIS Own Name that HE would surely bless him and do what HE Promised.  Now, there's no Name  greater to promise by, so The LORD put all of it on HIMSELF when HE said, "I swear by My Own NAME..."  That means, Abraham could believe it was done.  HIS Promise was not solely for Abraham, though.  Abraham was simply an example to us all.  That Word is as good for us as it was back then.  If GOD has Promised you something and you continue to believe and move forward in faith, it's already done.  Prepare for the baby. Start picking out nursery colors!  You already have the promotion.  Take certification courses so you can be ready.  The loan is approved.  Start picking out homesite lots and furniture!  The clients are already talking about you.  What suit will you wear to the first meeting?  Move like it's done!  When ou move, HE moves.  So, the next time you wonder, "Why should I believe this and do all of this work on a promise that hasn't produced yet," or "why would I be the one to receive that promotion,"  "why would they pick me over all of the other options out there," or "why would I think I could ever be a parent," remember GOD is saying, "Because I said so!"  Remember to live for purpose,  in purpose,  on purpose,  and with purpose.  Be blessed.

Hi Leaders of Valor (LOV),   If you are like me, you may dwell on an argument, a disagreement, or someone's untoward behavior for hours, days, weeks, months, or even years after the occurrence. Whether I dwell on it because I wished I would have said more or harsher words in that moment or even if I wished I did more to hurt the other person's ego, I have often replayed events for days...and days...and days until those days became weels, months, and yesrs of wasted time. Have you done the same?   As I replayed a recent event of such magnitude, I rehearsed the "next time I'll say..." moments. During that incident, I was reminded by GOD that time spent dwelling on things that do not matter are a waste of precious moments and time I'll never get back. GOD asked me, "If your life ended today, would this incident matter?" HE knew the answer, yet the question was for my growth. At that moment, I vowed to try my best to let the little things pass me by without giving a person, a situation, or an inappropriate interaction the power to dictate the course of my day. That's not a power I'm willing to hand to situations and people who don't matter in the big scheme of things because those issues or people won't matter when I'm living my last moments on Earth. They cannot have that power!   What about you? Think about it: How much time have you spent on things that were insignificant? How much power have you given people who aren't important? How much time have you wasted by focusing on issues that were not worthy of the limited yet most precious resource we've been gifted - TIME?     Let's vow to do as Moses said in Psalm 90. We must remember the brevity of life and number our days so that we may grow in wisdom. That means refusing to let unnecessary drama and people control our hours, days weeks months, and years. If today was your last day on Earth, what would a review of this day show? Use time wisely. We have so little of it. Don't waste time on frustrations and situations that won't matter when we close our eyes. There are many more important things to do with our time.    Remember to live for purpose, in purpose, on purpose, and with purpose. Be blessed.   Dr. Trin Full podcast: https://leadersofvalor.podbean.com/ Https://www.trimaniconsulting.com

Hi LOV (Leaders of Valor), Are you in a process of waiting that often results in a lack of desire to keep moving forward - to keep believing - to keep praying - to keep working diligently - to keep fighting for what you were promised? If you are, you are not alone. Some of us go to work each day and do our very best to get our tasks accomplished with great results only to be overlooked by those we work for and with in our organizations. Some of us take care of others who seem to be nonchalant about our time, our efforts, and our generosity. Many of us have prayed for outcomes of great health, healing, and physical wellness for our family members and for ourselves only to watch the steady decline of health or the untimely death of a loved one. Many of us have watched the craziness of the world result in even more craziness in all circles of life only to wonder, "what is all of this work, suffering, dedication, kindness, and diligence for if the result will be more pain and hatred towards me and my loved ones?" I would venture to say that most of us have dealt with some of these issues in one area or life or multiple areas of life. These issues may have caused me and I'm guessing many of you to ask, "what's the point?" "Is the work of my hands futile?" The prophet Isaiah also felt this way at one point in his ministry. He heard from GOD and was told what he was going to see happen as a result of his ministry. After many years of doing what he was directed to do without any positive response from those he ministered to, he finally stated, "but the work of my hands seem useless" (Isaiah 49:3)...just as some of us have felt. For some of us and many who have gone before us, we may often feel that we're wasting time doing what we've been instructed to do: Do your best at everything you're assigned Do your best at raising the kids Do your best at serving your community Do your best to be a great friend Do your best at being the best husband to your wife Do your best at working on the project you've been "gifted" Do your best at living a life of service to others Do your best to support your husband Do your best to support our aging parents Do your best to believe that you will be healed from the diagnosis ....and on....and on....and on!   We may feel like quitting and retreating, yet hold on. Don't leave quite yet. There's another part of the verse in Isaiah 49:3 that hasn't been introduced yet. Isaiah goes on to say, "...yet I leave it all in the LORD's Hand; I will trust GOD for my reward. (NLT). When the promotion doesn't come as quickly as expected, keep doing your best When the baby doesn't come on your time table, keep preparing for her When the illness doesn't let up, keep believing it will When your kids are not grateful that you gave up your dreams to fund theirs, keep sacrificing When you're overlooked after dedicating your life to serving others, keep serving When your wife doesn't say "thank you," keep providing When your husband doesn't keep the "date night" promises, keep getting dressed for the dates   Why would we continue to do what hasn't yielded positive results? Well, the answer is in Isaiah 49:8 - Because of our efforts, "at just the right time," GOD will make it happen! HIS timing is not our timing, but HIS timing is perfect. Just keep working, believing, and fighting for what was promised. Let's not let life make us tap out before the promises become reality! Who knows if the next attempt will be the one that ushers in our reward for our faithfulness? Keep believing! It will happen, At Just the Right Time!   Remember to live for purpose, in purpose, on purpose, and with purpose. Be blessed, Dr. Trin www.trimaniconsulting.com

Hi LOV (Leaders of Valor), I pray all is well. Are you in a season of waiting and you're now wondering if your dreams will ever become reality? If you are, you're not alone. Many of us face times of waiting, wondering, hoping, and even discouragement when it comes to something we really want to happen or something that has been promised to us. Whether it is a promotion, a raise, becoming a father or mother, or getting into the school of our dreams, the wait can often bring doubt, especially when the wait seems to take years instead of days. In this world of "instant success" and quick gratification, waiting seems like a four-letter word, doesn't it? Who wants to wait when Amazon Prime promises I can get whatever I want within a matter of hours (and often times that is too long)? I'm reminded of the story of Abraham and Sarah, an older couple in The Bible who were promised a son would be born in their latter years of life. This couple waited....and waited....and waited for what seemed like forever. They deduced that GOD had forgotten about the promise and they decided to take matters into their own hands. They went with Plan B (getting their servant to bear a child for them) because it seemed like a sure thing! This caused a lot of turmoil in their household, as we'd imagine. They were tired of the wait, as many of us are. GOD did provide the child HE promised, yet the damage caused by their back up plan was something that has lasted throughout the ages. I want to remind us to hold on and not to concoct plan B when GOD promised us something greater than anything we could imagine. If it seems slow in coming - wait for it. If it hasn't happened yet, wait for it. If all of our friends are being honored and promoted, wait for it. If we are tired of going to gender reveal parties that we are not the guests of honor at, wait for it. If the apartment is too small and we want that house NOW, wait for it. GOD will stand by HIS Word. HE will make it happen for us...just as HE promised. Dont get tired of serving, praising, and clapping for others because your day is coming. Wait for it! Remember to live for purpose, in purpose, on purpose, and with purpose. Be blessed! Dr. Trin #LeadersOfVal www.trimaniconsulting.com

Hi LOV, As we enter another summer season and celebrate the unofficial start of summer this Memorial Day weekend, I want us to remember to lend support to those who are hurting and suffering as the result of lives lost all around us. There are many who may not see holidays as a happy or joyous time because they are hurting. Please take a moment to check in on your friends, neighbors, coworkers, family members, and those you know who may be suffering in silence. It's ok to ask, "Are you ok?" We never know what goes on when people are alone or away from us; therefore, a quick check in May Lift someone's spirit and let them know that someone cares about them and will support them. Please check in on those you know during the year and especially during the holiday seasons. As we celebrate this Memorial Day weekend, we are grateful for all who have given their lives to protect the freedoms we enjoy. We pray for those who have lost loved ones and are suffering in silence. Be one who supports. Ask questions and be there for those in your circle. Remember to live for purpose, in purpose, on purpose, and with purpose. Be blessed! Dr Trin www.trimaniconsulting.com LOV Website: https://trimaniconsulting.com/leaders-of-valor-lov

Hi LOV, It's a good thing to make money and to be able to support ourselves, our families, and those we love. What happens when money causes us to lose focus and forget the "why" behind the blessing? If you're like those in my circle, you probably have heard "Money is the root of all evil!" This is a scary warning and has been recited by many, yet, this isn't the correct content or context of that Bible passage. There's a reason why certain individuals fall slave to money. Strange that we can be a slave to an inanimate object, right? It's true! We can lose ourselves in the chase for coins IF we do not understand what we should be doing with the money we're blessed to accumulate. Leaders of Valor (LOV) know how to use what God has blessed us with not only for our enjoyment, but also to help others whom HE allows to cross our paths! In this video, we'll discuss this frequently misquoted verse from 1 Timothy 6:10 and we'll discuss what The Bible truly wants us to understand and comprehend when we hear or read this verse. We'll also learn how we can apply this principle to our lives and how it  can help us thrive - both in business and at home! Remember to live for purpose, in purpose, on purpose and with purpose!

Hi LOV, In this world of Social Media “friends” and “followers,” we need to be reminded of what a friend is.  This term is used very loosely today, yet it is one that should be held in high honor to those who are blessed to be called “friends.”  Because of the influence of others who claimed to be “friends” in our lives, we’ve witnessed suicide rates increase to insanely elevated numbers because the expectations of so-called “friends” were not met by those being hurt by statements, posts, etc.  We all may know of individuals who took their own lives because a “friend” wronged them or made a public statement about them that caused severe damage. We know of “friends” who were supposed to support and uplift others, yet took every opportunity to belittle or stain the character of another. We’ve experienced “friends” who easily walked away without rhyme or reason and no explanation as to why they no longer wanted to be bothered with us.  May I submit to us today that everyone who calls themselves a “friend” is not so! Jesus is the Ultimate Example of Who a Friend is and what is expected of our Earthly friends. He did not walk away when things got rough. He settled in and held hands, cried with families, walked where others would not, etc.  That’s what true friends do! Young people and older people: Re-evaluate what the word “friend” means to you.  Who have you allowed to hold this title yet they have not earned the right to do so? Who walked away when “the cool kids” came around simply because they didn’t want to be seen with you? Who told your most intimate secrets to coworkers only to have what you shared in confidence get back to you? Who walked away from you because you were trying to better yourself or because you began profiting in the business world? Those are NOT friends. Put them in the appropriate box – acquaintances – then there will be little disappointment when they do exactly what they were designed to do.    #LeadersOfValor www.trimaniconsulting.com

Hi LOV, As Leaders of Valor  (LOV),  we must continue to build on the foundation that our ancestors and those who have come before us have laid. We are blessed to live in a time when we can live in areas many of them could not. We can work in fields where many of them were not allowed. We can make salaries that many were not able to make. Even with all of the greatness and accomplishments those who have spanned the annals of time have achieved to ensure our today is better than their yesterday, we sill have work to do. I want to remind us all that we, and that is all of us, must ensure we continue to speak out, sit in, walk on, and voice up to ensure we continue to fight for equity, diversity,  and inclusive for all races, ethnicities,  gender identities,  religions, disabilities,  and all other wonderful characteristics that make us who we are - A beautiful people who are strong together than we are apart. Many lives have been taken, many dreams sidelined, many rights disintegrated, and many families torn apart because of the sacrifices,  the struggles, the bravery, and the tenacity of those who fought for better for our generation. Even in the face of these very real threats, knowing what they were walking into, our ancestors still pressed on and moved forward to ensure their loved ones generations down the line would have a better world. What will the generations that are not yet here say about us?  Will we be remembered as tenacious heroes who fought for them before they were in existence? Don't let the great history connotations end with those who came before us.  Keep laying more ground work and building upward for those who will come 2, 3, and multiples of generations after us. To fail to do so would be to denote what those who came before us did as  unnecessary. Multi-generational legacy is not just about financial gain, but also includes family inheritance, community influence, equity in all aspects of life (healthcare, education,  spiritual awareness, access to safer communities, etc.).  We pay homage to those who came before us by ensuring we continue to build upward in all respects and leave a multi-generational legacy while teaching others who will come after us to take on that sacred duty to do the same. Tell how you made it, the good, the bad, and the ugly. Share what worked and what didn't. Make every day Black History Day. Share your life struggles and triumphs around the table and in your family and friends' circles. Don't let your people's history die with you. Remember to live for purpose, in purpose, on purpose, and with purpose.  Much love to you and yours during Love month.

Hi LOV, Happy New Year. What have you resolved to achieve this year? Many of us often set huge, lofty, and daunting goals for ourselves each New Year. "I will lose 100 lbs. before my vacation in August!" "I will be promoted to CEO by December even though I graduated in January." "I will never eat anything with sugar in it again!" "I will open 10 $1M companies in 2024!" Sound familiar? I want to remind us all to take each day as it comes and move in smaller, incremental steps toward improving yourself and reaching your realistic goals for this year. Lofty goals sometimes equal really deep disappointments. Set goals that are realistic and attainable.  From there, move in steps to reach your goals. The GPS relies on a final destination being identified then plans each mile of the way in order to help us reach our desired place of arrival.  Plan realistic and attainable goals, then backtrack and plan out smaller steps of the journey. Races are won step-by-step, not by solely looking and focusing on the finish line. If you can only focus on the finish line without planning smaller strategic, intentional, and well-aligned steps that will ultimately help reach that finish line, the race may end in disappointment. You must consider your breathing, your opponents' strengths and weaknesses, your energy reserves versus the race's course, the weather and how it affects your stamina, etc. The same is true with our goals. Take into account the smaller steps and details that can propel you forward into successful outcomes. If you want to move into the next level of business success, plan out realistic and achievable steps that can help you get there. Maybe taking a leadership course or finding a mentor who has traveled the same path is how to begin moving toward that goal. "Losing 50 lbs. in January" is not an achievable goal and cannot be reached without unhealthy practices being invoked. Maybe the goal of eating a healthy salad instead of fast food for lunch and dinner and walking around the neighborhood for 1 hour each day after work and on weekends are smaller, realistic steps that can help you reach your ultimate goal of being healthier and having more energy or losing weight by the end of the year. If your goal is to grow your relationships into happier and healthier ones by the end of 2024, try doing one thing each day to positively influence the relationship (e.g., if you are not good at verbal praise, give one compliment to those you love each day) and build up from there. Setting attainable and realistic goals and working backward to foster a strategic and doable plan that identifies the "how" and "when" will help you succeed. Most importantly, consult the Lord, trusted friends and family, and mentors who can help guide you and lead you in the right direction.  The accountability partners you trust can help keep you on track and encourage you when you feel like giving up. Taking the smaller steps each day to build towards your goals is key. Don't get overwhelmed with looking for the finish line, but work on smaller segments of the big picture and give yourself grace throughout the process. If today is a less than successful day, don't wait for tomorrow. Start over right now!  We can reach our goals if we plan ahead, formulate incremental tasks to keep us on track with the goal, and celebrate the small wins along the way. If we do this, by December of 2024, we'll have made great strides towards being better than we were in 2023!  Remember to live for purpose, in purpose, on purpose, and with purpose!  Be blessed in 2024 and beyond!

Hi LOV, As many navigate Christmas and Holidays this season, there is lots of merriment,  laughter, and cheer for many.  For others, there may be stress, sorrow, and mourning over what could have been, what or who was lost, and what lies ahead. So many are hurting....while others are stressing. The focus seems to be on trees, decorations, spending, and receiving.  Blurred lines are all around us.    What about you? What's your focus this holiday season? Are you staying up late nights trying to figure out what you can get that will show the height of your love while digging deeper into the depths of debt?  Are you stressed about taking 1-2 days away from work to spend time with loved ones because you know 400 emails will be greeting you at the door when you return to the office?  Are you worried that you will over extend yourself because you have family and loved ones coming in from all around the nation to stay with your family for a week?  Is the focus more on the giving....or The Gift?  Here's a quick reminder to focus on the True Meaning of Christmas and be thankful for the Ultimate Gift gifted to us by Jesus!  While we want to have a wonderful time with friends and loved ones, and we want to ensure we show love to those we are blessed to have in our lives, we must remember that it's not about spending, cooking,  receiving,  stressing,  and planning extravagance that will last for a mere day or so.  It's about remembering to be grateful for our lives, our families,  our jobs, our homes, the breath in our lungs, and everything and everyone around us who love us.  This is made possible because of Jesus's Gift of Life and Salvation given to us over 2,000 years ago. The season is about remembering that Gift. Everything else is just noise. Let's resolve that we will not get distracted by the noise this holiday. Remember to live for purpose,  in purpose,  on purpose,  and with purpose.  Be blessed and be safe this holiday season. Many blessings from The Lord to you and your in 2024! #LeadersOfValor www.trimaniconsulting.com LOV Website: www.trimaniconsulting.com/leaders-of-valor-lov    Social Media Links:   YouTube Channel/Podcast Landing (@drtrinkp): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFAnk9kH-VFxATgLouejZig Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drtrinpierre/  TikTok:  https://www.tiktok.com/@drtrinpierre?lang=en  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/trinette-pierre-trimaniconsultingllc-executivecoach-consultant-advisor-author/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100086605583062 Twitter: https://twitter.com/TrimaniLLC

Remember to Lift Up Those Who are Less Blessed! Hi LOV, As we in the US celebrate this holiday of thanks with friends and family,  let's remember to be grateful for all that we have been gifted. Also, in the midst of our gratitude for ourselves and our families,  please remember to say prayers and intercede for those who are not as fortunate to have shelter, clean water, the use of their limbs, a sound mind, the ability to eat each day, and the list goes on and on. Remember to lend a hand to someone who may be going through a rough season. Say a prayer of comfort for those who lost loved ones this year. This may be a difficult season for many, so please give thanks for all you've been blessed with and pray for those who are not blessed with all that we have. As we go into the holiday season and another year, let's resolve to be thankful, grateful, and cognizant of all of our blessings....and also to live to be a blessing to others whom God puts in our paths.

We are BLESSED! Be Grateful for All That We Have! Good day LOV, Next week, we come together as a people to give thanks for our blessings. While we often consider the tangible and financial things in life that we've been allowed to attain as the most important blessings we have, we are blessed with so much more than that. If you are able to read this or watch this video, you are blessed. If you can hear what is being said, your ears are working as designed - blessed. If you had clean running water this morning and toothpaste to use - blessed (and we are also blessed because of that blessing to you 😄). If you have breath in your lungs and it isn't being pumped into your body with the use of a machine - blessed. If your family is safe and everyone who left your home yesterday returned without harm - blessed. We have so many around us whom God has gifted us with - family, friends, neighbors, coworkers, etc. If those individuals have helped you along the way, be thankful for those blessings and let them know just how much you appreciate their presence in your life. Don't take these often overlooked and undervalued blessings for granted. There are many who wish they could have access to what we have. Be grateful EVERY DAY for the EVERYDAY blessings we are gifted. When we are tempted to get upset because things aren't going the way we should or we didnt get everythingwe thiught we deserved, let's agree to take a deep breath in and out and remember just how blessed we are! Remember, strive to live for purpose, in purpose, on purpose, and with purpose. Be blessed. #LeadersOfValor www.trimaniconsulting.com

You are Designated for a Designed Purpose! YOUR Role Matters! Hi LOV, Do you ever find yourself comparing where you are with the station of others? When you read or hear about someone achieving amazing feats with very little effort at a much younger age than you, do you feel a bit "less than?" Does the "look where he is versus where I am" mindset set in during those moments? In this culture of comparison, it is easy to belittle our current situations or callings when we enter a room where others seem to be killing it and making everyone else feel like slackers because they may not have the titles, the degrees, the positions, or the following. I want to remind you of something - YOUR role matters. Just because you may not hold a high ranking office or you may not have the opportunity to write a book yet, this does not mean that you are less important than anyone else on this Earth. God designated a purpose for each of us. For some, this may mean working in the board room. For others, it may mean working on the frontlines. For many, it means being a stay at home dad. For others, it may mean gaining more education and degrees to help with the climb up the corporate ladder. Every role matters. One example of how true this is comes from my time working in healthcare during the COVID pandemic. As a clinician of 30+ years, I often heard that clinicians were the most important people in the hospital setting. Everyone else is "just ancillary staff." While clinicians are important, I do not believe that one role is more valuable than another. We are all parts that have unique purpose and functions, yet we are not whole without each element being present. We work best when we work together. Lacking one part quickly reveals how important that part is to our success. For example, when I had to remove my management hat to help organize and push meal carts up to nursing units to ensure patients were able to get certain meds immediately before eating, it made my team realize how important the role of those in dietary services is to the hospital organization. When clinicians had to help clean patient rooms because environmental services was short staffed during the pandemic, it showed us how relevant those team members were to our ability to care for patients. The examples could continue for hours. Each role is important. Don't relegate yours to the "but I'm only a..." mentality and don't allow others to do so. Regardless of where your purpose is and what you are designated to accomplish, know that we all need one another - in business, communities, and our personal circles. Your role matters! You are important. Don't belittle your worth by comparing yourself to another. As one of my favorite ministers says, "You were born an original - don't die a copy!" - Pastor Jeremy Foster Embrace who you are and know that YOU matter! Remember to live for purpose, in purpose, on purpose, and with purpose! #LeadersOfValor www.trimaniconsulting.com

Hi LOV, What relationships do you need to appreciate more? What individuals are integral to your success, yet you can't seem to find the time to let them know it? Is there a parent who is eagerly awaiting a phone call from you? A good friend who has always been there for you, yet life happened, and you've since grown apart? Is there a mentor who helped you grow in ways that assisted you with a move into higher positions? Have you stopped to tell those individuals how much you appreciate them? If not, I implore you to take the time to do so today. As we can see, the world is in a state of disarray. While we know these things were foretold long before we arrived on this planet, we see things of horrible circumstances that seem to get worse with each passing minute. Life is not respected by many and days that were already short are now being subtracted by some who do not appreciate the sanctity of human life. Moses stated (Psalm 90) that 70 years are promised and some live to be 80. Today, that's not always the case, is it? We are watching children being slaughtered right before our eyes. Our loved ones are dying from diseases that are running rampant throughout our world. Others are battling mental health issues that cause irrational behaviors and harm to themselves and others. We are blessed to make it home and have our families intact at the end of each day. Let's cherish and be thankful for that because everyone is not blessed to have this be the case for their families. So much is happening around us, yet in the midst of it, we are reminded to appreciate life and those we have been blessed with along our journeys. If you are fortunate enough to read this, be grateful and live as if you are grateful for you life and the lives of those who have been assigned to be in your story. As always, remember to live for purpose, in purpose, on purpose, and with purpose. Be blessed.

Hi LOV, *This podcast will be uploaded in 2 parts* Do you often feel like the weeks roll together without giving you a moment to breathe? Do you find yourself going through the routines day in and day out without being able to take time out for family, friends, and the things you enjoy doing? If you are like me, the answer is "YES!!!" I often end my day on Fridays feeling like I am going to lose it if I have to deal with bills, work, emails, and school schedules one more day! In this world, our hustle and bustle causes us to sometimes lose track of....well, us! I find myself running from appointment to appointment or in and out of meetings until a full week has passed by without any time for my family, my friends, and for myself. Is this your story? If so, I have great news for you! We can have and we are instructed by God to take a mini-vacay at the end of every 7-day week! That's right - God mandated a period of rest for us!   At the beginning of time, God ordained time each week for us to set aside work, school, soccer practice, dance rehearsals, bill paying, errands, meetings, and on...and on...and on. God modeled the REST day that He Himself blessed at the end of the Creation Week at the beginning of Genesis in the Bible. Now, those of us who know about God know that God doesn't stand in human time, nor does He need a moment to rest, yet He was intentional in adding in this Day of Rest for our benefit and to give us a well-needed rest period in order to rejuvenate and to engage in corporate rest, family time, enjoyment, meditation, and worship. If God felt it was important enough to model a day of rest that He obviously did not need, shouldn't we take advantage of that rest time? As many believe and cherish, the Sabbath (from sunset Friday - sunset Saturday evening - a 24-hour period) is time that should be set apart, sacred, and respected as God's ordained period of rest. While many believe that the Sabbath was specifically ordained for a certain group of people or certain religions, that belief is incorrect. Long before any religions began, the Sabbath was ordained. In the very first books of the Bible, the Sabbath was blessed and God said to REMEMBER to take that rest day. Why do we need to REMEMBER, because He knew humans would get so busy in 2023 that we'd forget. Sadly, the one mandate with the word REMEMBER is the one that most of the world forgets or disregards as something that was "done away with" or subject to day changes or time changes at the hand of man. Untrue. If "don't kill," "don't steal," and "honor father and mother," are respected and were not considered for one group of people, why isn't the Sabbath given the same respect and upheld as mandated? God's mandate is still in effect in 2023 and will be forever. He didn't say, "hey, this group of people or religious believers should keep the Sabbath," but He mandated it for all people. So, what do you do during Sabbath rest? During this 24-hour period, my family and loved ones spend time together in communion and meditation. This includes sharing a meal together, watching nature's wonders together, helping out in our communities together, spending time meditating together, and just BE-ing instead of DO-ing. At the beginning of the work week, we are well rested, well rejuvenated, and well prepared to handle another week of busyness. Some go to church, others do not. It's not about religion. It's about relationship with God, our families, our community, and ourselves. I attended a conference this week where the Sabbath was presented by Methodist Healthcare System. The Sabbath rest message has transformed lives and medical wellness for many. It can do the same for us. As we end another week, consider taking this God-ordained day of rest to heart. Take time to cherish the hours that He ordained as sacred to get away from social media, emails, work ordeals, errands, bill paying, and all of the other "must dos" that fill our work weeks. Take the period to rejuvenate before Sunday rolls around and is quickly chased by Monday. Spend time with family, friends, in your community helping others, and just "BE-ing." You will be blessed physically, mentally, and spiritually because of it. REST and BE STILL on Sabbath. As always, remember to live for purpose, in purpose, on purpose, and with purpose.   www.trimaniconsulting.com
