Do you ever stop and evaluate your life, how far you have come? Do it now. Think back to where you were a year ago or five years ago. Take a look at your growth. Consider how your thinking has evolved.
We are all works in progress, no longer our former selves. And that’s a good thing…
We program computers to do the things we want. But have you ever considered the way you are programming your life?
Eating healthy food will give us better digestion and nutrition. Exercising regularly will give us fit bodies and prolong our lives. Engaging in stimulating conversations will activate our minds creatively. See the point?
If you desire better outcomes in any of the areas I mentioned, then take a closer look at your internal programming…
One of the greatest lies ever told comes from some of our politicians. There are those who want you to believe that you can’t make it without the government’s help. Remove this lie from your mind.
People go through times in their lives when they need help, no doubt. All of us are willing to help others who are trying to help themselves. What I’m talking about is dependency, relying on government aid rather than taking care of yourself and your responsibilities.
If you have a sound mind, you possess the ability to work through your challenges. All you have to do is get to work. You can do anything you set your mind to…
Have you ever been completely convinced about something, only to learn you had been wrong all the time? I believe if we are willing to admit it, all of us would answer “yes.”
There are multiple perspectives on any given subject. You don’t like someone’s politics? That’s fine, but take a moment to consider things from their point of view. It isn’t a threat to your convictions, but your worldview will expand when you consider others beliefs along with your own.
The only immutable truth is God’s word. Everything else is up for healthy debate…
Acceptance is a broad subject to write about. In today’s culture, there are those who demand we accept them. That’s not really how acceptance works.
Self-acceptance might be our biggest challenge in life. We see all our faults, shortcomings and past failures. But we also see the good we have done. We have an invisible enemy who wants to keep us down, who reminds us of our past. But we have a real, invisible God who is for us. He is always on our side and wants us to love ourselves in a healthy way.
Keep your focus on the good you do and have done. Then do more and your self-acceptance will rise…
Fear and worry are learned behaviors. We weren’t born with them.
Anything learned can be unlearned if we are willing….
There are people who like to remind us of our past mistakes. These types of people are insecure and love to cut others down.
Everyone has made mistakes, and sometimes our pasts are pretty dark. When someone tries to remind you of your past shortcomings or failures, just remind them that you don’t live there anymore…
My car came equipped with a Global Positioning System, commonly known as a GPS. I’m not sure how I ever figured my way to my destination before, but I guess I was somehow successful.
Many people are wandering aimlessly through life. They don’t need a GPS because any road they go down will allow them to wander and roam. But we aren’t meant to live without purpose. We are hardwired for more.
If you are searching for your purpose, take inventory of what you are good at, and what you enjoy doing. This is how God made you. Once you figure out your greater purpose, use The Bible as your GPS…
Approach everything in life with confidence. Believe in yourself, do the work and don’t give up. If someone else receives credit for something you did, let it go. There’s no need to call attention to yourself.
God sees everything we do. Let’s work to please Him, not the world…
Tomorrow is Mother’s Day in the United States. Over 40 countries worldwide celebrate mothers and honor them on a special day, usually in March or May.
There is no force more powerful than the love of a devoted mother. Period. They will sacrifice everything to care for and provide for their children. Many times they do it alone. According to 2022 U.S. Census Bureau, out of about 11 million single parent families with children under the age of 18, nearly 80 percent were headed by single mothers. Of all single-parent families in the U.S., single mothers make up the majority.
And some will find it difficult to celebrate Mother’s Day. They may be mourning the loss of a child, or perhaps the loss of their own mother. Or they desperately wanted children but were unable to have them. These women suffer silently.
If you are a mother who unconditionally loves and provides for her children, I admire and respect you. Motherhood is a tough, oftentimes thankless job…
