No human being can predict the future. Every moment of every day is an uncertainty. People resist change and crave consistency and certainty in their lives, but that’s not possible.
Embrace the uncertainty of life. Develop the attitude where you don’t know what’s around the next corner, but you believe it’s something good! It’s all about mindset…
Millions of books have been written about positive thinking. Millions more will be written. And we know too well that popular saying, “Let go. Let God.” That sounds great until you have to actually do it.
Ceding our desire to control is scary. We want our lives to have happy endings, so we try to control outcomes. Controlling things we have no control over doesn’t work.

People will make emotional decisions when they feel like they might miss out on something. I encourage you to use wisdom and discernment when faced with big decisions. Pray about them, and listen for the voice of our Creator to guide you…

Sometimes we encounter people who seem to be angry about everything. Try to be patient with them. Their hurt comes from deep within, and it manifests in an unhealthy way. Pray for them…
How do you get two people who see things differently to come together? You don’t, because it’s already happening. No one is in perfect alignment with anyone else. God made us different from each other in every way. I’m guessing He likes variety, but I doubt He likes seeing his children at each other’s throats. Recognize our differences, even within our own families. Embrace the differences and unify. We are better together…
Life moves fast, and there is something to divert your attention everywhere you turn. Madison Avenue has perfected making us believe we must have whatever they are selling. Become laser-focused on what’s important to you. Seek your destiny with drive and desire. The distractions of life will always be there…
Are you trying to be the busiest person around? After all, our culture believes that high activity is the honorable way. Do not fall into the trap of being too busy for the important things: family, friends and your health.
