Remember – The Right Thing
July 20, 2009
When you say someone’s name, make their name feel safe in your mouth.
Don’t give too many details unless asked in any given situation.
Think before you speak; don’t be wise in your own eyes.
Don’t correct others’ children; be friendly.
Try not to be opinionated about everything, practice quietness.
When someone finishes talking, don’t always try to have the last word.
Don’t look for your happiness in people; you will set yourself up for disappointment.
If someone is rude, respond in loving manner yet make your point.
If someone is difficult, the answer is not to avoid them but to practice gentleness with wisdom.
Don’t let others decide for you; learn to decide for yourself, good or bad.
Don’t let people change who you are in any given circumstance; keep your peace at all times.
Let people be who they are; it’s not your duty to correct them; let them figure it out, correct yourself.
If someone is not listening about doing the right thing; let them make their own decisions and learn from their mistakes.
When giving a gift don’t expect anything in return you are setting yourself up for disappointment. Not everyone feels the same way as you do. Practice freedom of choice.
When someone hurts you don’t stay in pain because he/she may not realize the situation. Look to God, get delivered and experience peace.
Take Life as it Comes
June 2, 2009
Taking life as it comes does not mean living without goals. What it really means is to take negative circumstances as well as we take positive ones in our lives by keeping a balanced state of mind. I often hear people say “I deserve it” about something they desired and on the contrary if there is a negative circumstance, the reaction is “Why me?” Life is full of surprises with good ones and bad ones, so we must be ready to live through the situations we have little control over by living one day at a time.
Before you start to worry about any situation or get upset, ask yourself this question: “Is my worrying going to resolve this issue?” If not, then worrying or getting upset will only add to this problem. Then, focus on problem-solving to see if there is an available solution to help the situation. If it is something you can do nothing about, it is pointless to fight it. For example, if there is traffic due to an accident, it will not do any good for you to resist it. In this case, this is one of those little surprises life throws at you. You should relax and find another way to utilize your time in the car.
It also makes you wonder, What is the point of taking charge of my life if bad things are going to happen anyway? This is exactly where taking life as it comes, comes in handy, because you should strive to keep life as simple as possible. Since there is no way to know what will come your way, you will find yourself learning through trial and error and getting through situations you have little control over. This simple balanced state of mind will make you feel in control of the situation and not interfere with your judgment to make better decisions.
Eating is Good?
If I said eating is good, many people may disagree with me. However, I am not talking about those foods that are high in sugars and loaded with calories etc. Besides, when we feel low in energy, most of us reach for food. So, I want to share some of the things I do when I am looking for a little boost.
When I go grocery shopping, my rule is to make sure I fill the cart with plenty of nutritional foods for snacks. For example, walnuts are good for protein so taking a handful of it helps my hunger and gives the nutrition my body needs. Moreover, there are many foods that contain natural sugars like dry dates, raisins, bananas, honey etc.
Another habit I have grown to love is to make sure not to give into my temptation to eat junk food. No matter what, I have slowly trained myself not to buy anything that will not help my body to grow in good health. I figure if I don’t have it at home I will be restricted from it naturally.
