 DETERMINED: The Power of Choosing Your Best Life



By Colleeno Chippy



There is something sacred about waking up with a decision already made. A silent promise whispered to yourself before your feet even touch the ground. Today, I am determined.


Determined to live.

Determined to thrive.

Determined to shift the narrative from just surviving to boldly becoming.


This kind of determination doesn’t come from hype. It doesn’t need a cheering section or applause. It’s a quiet inner force—one that builds resilience, sharpens vision, and gives you the courage to stand in your truth. When you are determined, even on your hardest days, you show up. You try again. You believe that something greater is unfolding—even if you don’t see it yet.




Determined to Live Well


Being determined doesn’t mean being busy all the time—it means being intentional. Whether that’s getting up to stretch, choosing fruit over fast food, or speaking life over your body and mind, your small choices matter. Determination shows up in the grocery aisle. In your morning walk. In the way you speak to yourself in the mirror.


It says: I choose health. I choose peace. I choose me.




Determined to Build the Life You Deserve


Building your dream life isn’t always glamorous. Sometimes it looks like staying up late to finish that product listing. Or showing up for your blog even when you feel unseen. Or praying over your children before you crash into bed, wondering if it’s all making a difference.


But here’s what I know—when you’re determined, your dreams will begin to respond to your discipline. Your efforts will start to echo back in blessings. And your faith, paired with works, will never return void.




Determined to Keep the Faith


Faith doesn’t mean it’s easy. It just means you know Who’s walking with you. Stay determined in your prayers, even when they feel unanswered. Stay determined in your gratitude, even when the winds of life shift. You’re not just hoping—you’re anchored.




Today, Be That Woman


The one who gets up, not because everything’s perfect—but because she’s determined to make it beautiful.

The one who declares over her day:

“I am rooted. I am rising. I am ready.”


Let today be a declaration. Let it be a turning point. Let it be a reminder that your power lies not in what you feel, but in what you’ve decided.

The Illusion of Productivity: When Learning Becomes a Hiding Place

  The Illusion of Productivity: When Learning Becomes a Hiding Place By Colleeno Chippy In today’s world, productivity has become a badge of honor. We chase full schedules, long to-do lists, and endless multitasking as proof that we’re doing something meaningful. But here’s the truth — being busy doesn’t always mean being purposeful. Sometimes, productivity is just another form of procrastination. We study, we plan, we prepare — but deep down, we’re avoiding the real work that demands courage, vulnerability, or faith. When “Busy” Becomes a Distraction There’s a special kind of exhaustion that comes from doing everything except the one thing that would truly move your life forward. It feels safe to stay in constant motion. To learn more, research more, or organize more. Because if you’re “working on it,” then you don’t have to face the fear of actually doing it. But motion isn’t the same as progress. You can be moving every day and still standing in the same place spiritually...

The Difference Between Motion and Action: Why Progress Demands Movement

  The Difference Between Motion and Action: Why Progress Demands Movement By Colleeno Chippy There’s a subtle trap many of us fall into — one that feels productive but keeps us stuck. It’s the illusion of progress. We tell ourselves we’re “working on it,” “getting ready,” or “still planning.” But sometimes, what we call progress is really just motion — not action. Motion Feels Good, But It’s Not Always Growth Motion looks like researching, brainstorming, journaling, and talking about your goals. It’s reading books on healing without actually healing. It’s watching motivational videos without applying a single lesson. It feels like progress because you’re engaged — but it’s safe. There’s no risk in motion. Action, however, takes courage. Action means showing up, even when you don’t feel ready. It’s pressing “publish” on that post, applying for the job, writing the first page of your book, or booking that first client. Action transforms intention into impact. The Comfort of Mo...

The Weight of Self-Accountability

  The Weight of Self-Accountability By Colleeno Chippy Introduction It’s easy to point fingers when things don’t go as planned—blaming time, circumstances, or even other people. But true growth and greatness demand something far deeper: self-accountability. Holding yourself responsible is heavy, yes, but it is also the kind of weight that builds strength. Discipline and accountability go hand in hand. Without them, greatness remains out of reach. Why Excuses Keep Us Stuck Excuses are comforting because they relieve us of responsibility. But every excuse is also a chain, keeping us locked in the same cycle. When you stop making excuses and start owning your actions, you take back your power. Accountability may sting at first, but it is the doorway to transformation. The Strength in Owning Your Choices Self-accountability means being honest about your part—your decisions, your habits, your patterns. It’s not about self-blame but self-ownership. When you recognize your role in ...
