Growing Pains

Growth happens over time, and sometimes it doesn’t. Allow me to explain.

When I look back on my life a year ago, I see areas that I have grown. Yet I see areas I haven’t improved in, or if I have improved it was only marginal. This frustrates me.

I’m reminded that personal growth will happen, but only if I choose to be responsible for it happening. The choice was mine a year ago, and it remains my choice today…

Talk To Me

We have conversations with ourselves every waking moment. What is the quality of our conversations?

It’s important to be truthful with ourselves, but remember to be kind. Hold yourself accountable, but don’t berate yourself. Make an attempt to better yourself, and it’s okay if you fall short. Try again. And again. And again. Keep trying…

Flags

A country’s flag gives us a first glance into that country’s culture. Flags have symbols and colors that are meaningful.

The Lebanese flag has the colors red and white on it surrounding a cedar tree. Red represents bloodshed, while white represents purity. The cedar tree represents the Bible. Interesting, huh?

The American flag has thirteen stripes and 50 stars, each representing one of our 50 independent states and our original 13 colonies.

The next time you visit another country, or even a different state, take a look at their flag. You will learn something, and it will mean something to their citizens…

Ego

Our ego is tied to our self-image. Egomaniacs have an inflated sense of self, while people with low self-esteem sell themselves short.

Our ego is attached to our desire to control our environment. We like to believe we are in control of our day and our lives. We aren’t. Separate yourself from your desire to control, letting your ego go in the process. It’s very hard to do because this habit has been built over long periods of time. When you do release your desire to control, you are truly free.

Remember, the only thing we have control over is our attitude…

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…
