People ask for advice and opinions all the time. The best advice to give someone, whether it’s a friend or your child, is focused on letting them figure out the solution to their problem. Our minds are the greatest gift we received from God. We need to use them.

Attention
Many people like to be the center of attention. There’s nothing wrong with that. If we are drawing attention to ourselves, let’s make sure we are giving others something worth watching. Spread love and light, not hate and division…
Exceptions
There are exceptions to most rules. It’s probably okay to exceed the speed limit when you have an emergency and must get medical attention.
There is no exception for lying. When you tell the truth, you don’t have to worry about what you told anyone. This simple act will keep the right people in your sphere, and bring you peace…
Goodness…
There is so much goodness all around us. You have to look for it. You certainly won’t find it on the news, and oftentimes you won’t find it in church. But goodness is everywhere. It exists in the kindness of the heart of mankind.
Look for the good in others. You will find what you are looking for, and you will attract goodness into your life…
Really?
We are living in a unique period in time. We have news shoved in our faces 24/7, immediate home delivery of everything from groceries to alcohol, and we can reach our friends on the phone anytime…anywhere.
With these luxuries comes great responsibility. We are still called to work, be respectful and courteous to our fellow man, and raise our children the right way in a world that’s new to us. We cannot let decency die out as technology dominates our lives. Be kind. Always…
Time
Our time is the greatest gift we can give others. Be judicious about the people you allow into your life. They will either inspire you or bring you down. Be purposeful…
Cuts…
Why do people feel the need to criticize others and put them down?
The genesis of criticism and cut-downs is the critics own self esteem. When you feel good about yourself inside, you look for the good in others. And if you find yourself in a position where you need to offer some constructive criticism, choose your timing well and use gentleness and self control when delivering the message.
Bring light into the lives of others…
Broken…
When a car breaks down, we get it repaired. Why don’t we fix ourselves?
All of us are broken in some way. Our lives might look good, even perfect on social media, but we hide our true selves. All of us have past hurts, pain, unresolved issues and great memories. This makes us who we are.
We can fix our emotional brokenness through self-work. People avoid this kind of work because it’s hard to really look at yourself, your flaws and patterns which don’t serve you well. But doing the hard work on yourself is so worthwhile. Take the first brave step to freedom. And keep going…
Don’t Overlook This
We can get so busy that we start taking things for granted. If we have food in our refrigerator, a safe place to live and good people in our lives, we already have what many people are praying for. Recognize, remember and be grateful for the good in your life. Don’t focus on what you lack…
Conflict
Conflict is unavoidable, but it doesn’t have to destroy relationships. Our world would be pretty boring if we all looked and thought the same. God loves variety! The truth is that we can learn from each other. An opinion that’s different from our own isn’t a threat. Consider it to be an opportunity to see things from a different viewpoint. We are better together…
