On social media, I often see people posting memes quoting others. I used to do the same thing. Until I didn’t.
All of us have original thoughts and ideas. We should be audacious enough to share them with the world. People need originality.
Your thoughts might be the catalyst someone needs to light the creative fire in themselves. Please share what’s in your mind and heart…
Timing is everything. God’s timing is perfect, even when I don’t agree with it or like it. But I don’t think He needs or wants my input!
Let’s look at the timing of human interaction. When you have to deliver a difficult message to a friend, the timing of your delivery is key to their receiving and listening to the message. A message given at the wrong time often falls flat, while a message delivered at the right time is well-received.
When you find yourself in this situation, remember that it might be a good idea to wait until the mood is right. Life isn’t always a good time…
People are confused nowadays. They are confused because they believe their worth is tied to their status, money, zip code or position in life. They are gravely mistaken.
Our worth lies in the one who created us. God planned each and every one of us exactly how He wanted us to be. This is the foundation of our worth.
External stuff will die, but our relationship with the Creator is eternal…
Everyone wants to be seen and heard. All of us are equally important in the eyes of the Creator.
When you meet someone new, or when you are engaged in conversation with someone you know, see through to the heart of the person, not just what you see on the outside. Allow them to know they are valued…
Creativity takes courage. Ash Almonte is a successful artist in an industry that has a 90% failure rate. She has found the path to turn pain from her past into beautiful works of art. She is the founder of Hopefully Sow, a charity that benefits the “least among us,” foster children. Listen to how she got involved in caring for these children, and her story of building a career she says she’s quit over 300 times!
If you ever start feeling sorry for yourself, take a moment to reflect on all the good in your life. It’s there but you might overlook it because you are focused inward.
Think about others and what their needs might be. Place emphasis on meeting those needs if you are able. By doing for others your spirits will be lifted in ways I cannot describe. Soon your pity party will turn into a real party. Your moment of sorrow will be eliminated.
Our time here is limited. Leave your mark and create your legacy…
Nowadays I see a lot of people who label themselves as “empaths.” They believe they feel what others are feeling, no matter the circumstances.
All of us have intuition. It’s a gift from the Creator. Our intuition protects us from bad people and dangerous situations. We feel alerted in the moment.
Empathy is shared experience. Who better understands what it’s like to be married to an alcoholic than another person who is, too? The only people who know how it feels to lose a child are people who have lost a child.
The pain and struggle you have experienced in life can be used to help others. In this way, pain is a gift, too. Don’t waste it…
Families carry generational traditions. Keeping up with family history is part of our identity. We want to know where we are from.
Generational maladies are alive and thriving, too. Abuse, addictions and poverty are cycles that, when repeated, further ingrain the evil into our DNA. These cycles can be broken. If you were abused by your family, you know the pain it inflicted on you. Why anyone would want to carry the abuse into the next generation is beyond my comprehension.
The hard, yet simple truth is, these unhealthy cycles can be stopped. You must be willing to think differently. Seek help if necessary. Be the agent of change…
We have a limited amount of time on this planet. We don’t know what day will be our last. And for approximately 150,000 people, today will be their last.
We waste so much time on meaningless things like television, games, surface conversations and just doing nothing. Millions of unfulfilled dreams have gone to the grave without the dreamer ever giving it a shot.
Change course if you are one of the dreamers. Your time is now…
Complacent people have decided to stop growing. They feel like they cannot get better, they have reached the pinnacle.
All of us have room for improvement. We will not reach perfection on this side of eternity. Plus, we are hardwired to want to grow, to achieve our goals. Proficiency is an excellent quality. The desire to continue to learn and get even better is admirable.
In the final analysis, complacency is simply arrogance…
