Temptation is something we face everyday. The desires of the flesh, eyes and pride of life surround us. It's what tires to keep us mediocre. Temptation keeps us chasing after things that are of the world and gives us temporary fulfillment. Instead abide in God and be Magnificent.

Sometimes we give the enemy too much credit and that's the trick. We need to be honest with ourselves. Sin has many forms and if not checked leads us down a path of mediocrity. It's the gradual things, the small things that we need to be aware of within ourselves. We need to question those things, strive to understand them, and correct them. This is what leads to a life.

A vagabond has no home. A fugitive is running from home. A stranger is away from home. But a pilgrim is heading home. No matter the situation God is there waiting for you to come home.

The time to live is now. Stop worrying about tomorrow or thinking about the past. Be present in all that you do. Be thankful and content for what you have. An be Magnificent in what God has called you to become.

Controlling the controllables is being willing to accept a situation and make the absolute best out of it. It's not letting an obstacle derail Magnificence. It's making Magnificence happen not just for you but for others around you and knowing you are not in control but he is.

In order to obtain Magnificence it requires us to give and receive feedback. Never settle for mediocrity. Be willing to help others achieve their Magnificence by providing the feedback needed.

There will be times where we need to improvise. When unexpected things happen don't let the unknown derail you. Take the lesson from it and grow in you Magnificence.

We all can empathize but when do we make it effective? Be the good samaritan and grow in your Magnificence to empathize to the level that makes it effective.
