Drains

There are those people who drain you of energy and more. I call them the “ problem-conscious” people because they have a problem for every solution you offer.

I choose to be different. My purpose is to enrich the lives of others, not drag them down. Encourage others, and gently call them out when necessary. You be different, too…

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…

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…
