Now!

We live in what I call a, “FedEx culture.” I want it immediately. Personally , I’m impatient. I want it yesterday!

That’s not how life works. We must commit to working for what we gain. Sometimes it takes a long time to achieve our goals. The hurry up lifestyle will affect our thinking if we aren’t careful.

Take a big picture, long-term approach to life. Life happens moment-by-moment. Being hurried could make us miss some things…

Drug Culture

Every third television commercial is about a drug. The pharmaceutical industry is consistently among the top three in monies spent on lobbying. A wellness physician I know told me that when he recommends small changes a patient should make for better health, ninety percent of the the time patient asks for a drug remedy.

It’s time to change our thinking about artificial solutions that don’t require work. We have most everything we need in our bodies to ward off disease. Let’s use them…

p.s. I am not talking about people who are mentally ill and need psychotropics. It’s not their fault.

Procrastination

Everyone procrastinates. Lazy people have turned procrastination into an art form.

Do the things you don’t want to do first. If there’s a phone call you’re putting off making, make the call. If you need to clean your garage, clean it and don’t allow yourself to make excuses.

When you take action on the things you dread, you change. You change for the better…

Positive Thinking

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.

Our Creator gives us control over one thing: our attitude. Keep yours focused on whatever is good, right and noble. That’s better than any self-help book…
