Escape

There used to be a television commercial for a brand of bubble bath. The slogan was, “Calgon, take me away.” The idea was that the bubble bath would take the bather away from life’s problems, if even for a short while. Ah, if only life was so simple.

People use other methods to escape: alcohol, drugs, pornography and other deviances to numb their pain. When the time away ends, the pain remains. Even plastic surgery is used to try to fix something internal, and oftentimes nothing is broken on the outside. The patient just believes there is.

Face life head on. Work on yourself to heal what hurts. No matter your method of escape, you cannot run away from who you are…

Scarcity or Generosity

What are your thoughts on the title of today’s entry? Whatever your answer is will reveal an insight to your mindset.

If you have a scarcity mindset, you will be inclined to hold onto your possessions tightly. The fear of not having enough or even being enough will cloud your thoughts.

A mindset of generosity knows that sharing what you have will always leave you feeling fulfilled. You give without worry.

Remember this universal law: when we give, we get…

Image

How would people describe you, based upon your social profile? Oftentimes we have two personalities, public and private.

Being authentic requires us to show the world who we are, not who we want others to believe us to be. We were created by God as individual masterpieces, always original and never copied. Be proud of who you are, flaws and all.

Aligning your public image with your private persona requires you to be brave. But remember, you are only trying to impress an audience of one, our Creator…

In The Dark

Charity should come from the heart. God has said repeatedly that He wants our hearts over everything else. And only the Spirit can soften the heart of mankind.

Our giving is between us and God. It’s not to be flaunted or posted to get “likes” on social media. There are times I am okay with other people sharing their giving with their followers. Perhaps their generosity inspires others to give. And that’s a good thing…

Blessing God

If the title of this blog didn’t get your attention, check for a pulse.

How do we bless God, the King of the universe? He is the only One who gives and gives. Through His generosity, we woke up this morning. Our hearts and minds work. We can breathe.

We bless our Creator through our faith. By believing in Him, that He is good and only does good in our lives, we are blessing God.

It’s easy to believe when life is going well. Keep believing with unwavering faith when life is a shitshow and you will be blessing God…

How Is It Going?

We are seven weeks into 2023. Did you make any New Year’s Resolutions? It’s estimated that 95% of resolutions involve fitness. That’s a good thing.

The bad news is, about 90% of fitness goals are abandoned before the end of January. Old, bad habits return, and self-esteem takes a hit.

Getting fit and staying healthy should be fun! But so many people go about it wrong. They start jogging and eating like a rabbit. Where’s the fun in that? Not to mention you won’t get the results you desire.

Here’s some advice: get a trainer who understands your fitness goals for your body. They will make a plan, and guide you through exercises which will strengthen you and benefit you in the long term. You need to lift weights, and you need to eat. Lifting will make you hungry as hell. Don’t starve yourself! Eat!

If you have given up on your fitness goals for 2023, I encourage you to try again. The only failures are the ones who quit…

Indifference

Love and hate are powerful emotions. Great things happen through the power of love, while hatred destroys what is good.

Being indifferent means you don’t care. There is no emotional attachment, no feeling.

As an example, I’m indifferent to which team wins the Super Bowl this year. Poor example, but you get what I mean.

Channel your energy into the things you love. You can move mountains, if you believe you can…
