Making A Difference Through MentorshipAuthor: Dr. Gregory L. Cruell
A mentor can be anyone who has a positive, guiding influence on another persons life; a trusted friend or advisor, those who help other people succeed and to become the best version of themselves. Ethnos (people-centered) Leadership, Overcoming Negative Thoughts--Think Like God Thinks, are the primary platforms by which we help those that are determined to continue growing as leaders to impact their work environments and the communities in which they live. As we apply the principles discovered in these teachings we authentically change lives "making a difference" one life at a time.

If You Think You Can--You Will
Saturday, 6 April, 2024
Henry Ford is often quoted as saying, “whether you think you can or think you can't, you're right.” From Henry Ford's perspective I have amended his statement slightly providing us the theme of today’s podcast. If You Think You Can You Will. Proverbs 23: 7 tell us, “as a man old woman thinks that's who we really are.” It was psychologist James Allen that stated in the late 1800s that, “if we alter our thinking, we alter our lives.” Most of us don't really think about how we think… we just think without thinking. Whatever we think and dwell on is going to be playing on the movie screen of our mind. So let me ask you… what kind of movies have you been playing in your mind? Are they movies and scenes that includes thoughts of depression, negativity, grief, worry, despair and hopelessness, sorrow, anger, bitterness and resentment? What we think on repeatedly is going to determine our mindset and how we view ourselves, others and the situations in our lives. “If we alter our thinking, we alter our lives.” Philippians 4: 8-9, in the Amplified Version gives us instruction as to what we are to think about and imagine. “ Finally, believers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable and worthy of respect, whatever is right and confirmed by God’s word, whatever is pure and wholesome, Whatever is lovely and brings peace, whatever is admirable and of good repute; if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think continually on these things [center your mind on them, and implant them in your heart]. 9 The things which you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things [in daily life], and the God [who is the source] of peace and well-being will be with you.” God gives clear instructions about what we are to think about. In order that we live in peace and prosper in our lives. If You Think You Can-You Will. You will experience the promise of Isaiah 43:19…”Behold, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs forth; do you not perceive and know it and will you not give heed to it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” “THINK LIKE GOD THINKS” (ISAIAH 55:8-9)
