There is something peaceful about early morning before the busyness of the day begins. We need quiet in our lives to clear our minds and our thoughts.
Quiet makes some people uncomfortable. They revel in the noise. I encourage you, if you are one of those people, learn to be comfortable in the quiet. The noise of the world will always be there waiting for you to return…
Are you fulfilled in your life? If you answered yes, congratulations! But if your answer is no, you have the power to change your life.
A fulfilling life has nothing to do with money. It’s about service. Serving others changes you. There’s something magical and unexplainable about the feeling you get when you do something for someone who can never repay you.
If you aren’t getting all you want from life, ask for more. Then go do the work…
Satiety means you have had enough. If someone you know is treating you rudely, or abusively, or any other wrong behavior, you will eventually hit your satiety point with them.
Conversely, when someone treats you well, with loving kindness, you want more.
Spend your time with those who enrich your life, not the ones who aren’t good for you…
People who have mediocre mindsets will try to drag you down to their way of thinking. You can’t lift them up. It’s best to take the hard step and separate yourself from those people. They will find other prey, and you will be better off…
When your covet the next cool new thing, it only leads to dissatisfaction and disappointment.
There’s nothing wrong with wanting nice stuff, nothing at all. Having a nice home, eating at great restaurants and going to wonderful resorts for vacation is part of why we work.
When getting more and more becomes our god, then we have replaced the real God with idols. Keep your focus on things above. He will provide what we need…
The culture of The United States has become greed. Get more, be more and you are worth more, right?
The consequences of a greedy lifestyle are poor emotional and physical health. Relationships are compromised. People sacrifice quality of life for quantity, yet they never find contentment.
Contentment brings peace into your life. It allows you to see the value you have in the world by your mere presence. Contentment doesn’t take the place of ambition. It puts it in perspective…
We become what we think about, so where do your thoughts lie? And if you pray, pray expectantly, thanking God before your prayer is answered. Then believe it will happen…
There are people who will suck the life out of you, if you allow them to.
Say no to the people who aren’t good for you, and say yes to those who enrich your life…
I have observed an increase in rudeness over the past several years. Simple niceties like opening doors and saying ‘thank you’ are becoming rarer and rarer. I’m guessing this is because we are busier than we’ve ever been, but that doesn’t make it acceptable.
To all of my followers who read my work, thank you! I appreciate every one of you. You have a choice in how you spend your time, and I’m honored you spend a few moments with me…
Are you outwardly focused, or are you focused inward?
I believe most people, if being honest would say inward. We are naturally selfish, so this makes sense. Protecting our lives and the lives of our loved ones isn’t selfish because it’s done out of love.
When we shift our focus onto the needs of others, something special happens. We find more joy and fulfillment than ever before.
I believe we can be focused inwardly and outwardly at the same time. Try it! You might like it…
