Painful

Pain is a tool, and pain has a purpose. No one escapes life on this side of eternity without experiencing pain.

Oftentimes we hide our pain from the world. We want everyone to believe we “have it all together.” But when we allow ourselves to be vulnerable and openly share what we are going through, it creates intimacy with others. Our challenges in life can be used to encourage and inspire others.

So whatever you are experiencing or have experienced in the past, let go of your pride and share it with the world. You never know who you might help…

Potential

All of us have unique gifts. Whether or not we use them is up to us. This also applies to how we use them.

If you are a good communicator, are you spreading light and encouragement, or fear and dread? The message will be taken seriously because you have the gift of communication.

Use your God-given potential the way He wants you to. After all, God is the one who gave you your unique gifts…

Reach Out

The pandemic shredded mental health. People’s lives have been altered in ways no one could have predicted. Anxiety, which was already high, is soaring.

We need human connection. People need to be seen and heard. Take the lead and reach out to your friends, family and acquaintances. They will feel appreciated and valued, and you will benefit as well.

Be the one…

Offended

It seems like people are wearing their feelings on their sleeves nowadays. People get offended by “any little thing,” and become outraged. Why?

Playing the victim has become popular with some people. It’s a waste to get attention this way. They might get noticed for something, but it doesn’t last.

I encourage you to take the high ground. In an imperfect world, others will offend us, but that’s unavoidable. Keep your focus on doing something great with your life. The rest will take care of itself…

An Off Day

Yesterday, I wrote about taking a day off to recharge. Today let’s examine those days when things don’t go as planned.

Everyone has off days. Everyone. I have had them all my life, and there will be more in days to come. But not every day is an off day. It’s important to keep life in perspective, and not hold on too tightly to the dark periods.

Always remember that you have gotten through every difficult time in your life. You are still standing. And you will get through the next bad time, too, if you just keep going…

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…
