Say no to everything and everyone who won’t get you where you want to go in your life. Say yes to everything and everyone that will advance your life…

The Other Side
We believe things. When I was a child, I believed in Santa Claus. In some ways I still believe Santa is real. I know gravity and eternal life are real, even though I can’t see them.
But what about our staunchly held opinions? What happens to our beliefs when facts show them to be wrong or misguided? To be open minded, it’s good and necessary to explore the other side of an issue. Be willing to let go of your beliefs if evidence is presented to the contrary…
Worry
Are you a worrier? Most things people worry about drains your energy, and keeps you from seeing things clearly.
Find peace and clarity in your life. Worrying about things that probably won’t happen will keep you from finding peace. Leave the worry for someone else. You have things to accomplish…
Satiety
Satiety means you have had enough. If someone you know is treating you rudely, or abusively, or any other wrong behavior, you will eventually hit your satiety point with them.
Conversely, when someone treats you well, with loving kindness, you want more.
Spend your time with those who enrich your life, not the ones who aren’t good for you…
Mistakes
Everyone makes mistakes. Every day. There’s even a series of books for “dummies” that are designed to keep us from making mistakes when we are learning something new!
Our past mistakes or the fear of making a mistake shouldn’t prevent us from trying and learning new things. They are part of the process.
When was the last time you tried something new? Why not make it today…
What a Drag
People who have mediocre mindsets will try to drag you down to their way of thinking. You can’t lift them up. It’s best to take the hard step and separate yourself from those people. They will find other prey, and you will be better off…
Unreachable
Have you ever had a conversation with someone, but realize you aren’t getting through to them?
There’s a handful of reasons for this. Maybe they have an inflated ego, and really don’t care what anyone else has to say. Or perhaps there is something going on in their lives that has taken all their energy.
If it’s ego, stop trying and walk away. If it is a distraction, show compassion and listen…
Trying
Life is hard and life can be harsh. People seem to be caught up in selfishness to the point of being rude.
When you see someone trying to make it, offer some encouragement. Even a small amount of progress is growth. You never know how an encouraging word might propel someone to keep going…
Healing
Over the course of my life, I have healed from a lot of trauma and emotional pain. I remind myself daily that not everyone has done the self-work required for restoration. By doing this, I’m able to be a peacemaker rather than divider.
Bring peace when you can, not division…
Drifting
Are you leading or following? Most people simply drift through life, accepting whatever comes their way. Others set their minds to achieve their purpose, their true calling.
If you want to lead others, know where you are going. Why would I follow someone who did know where they are going?
