Empathy…

Empathy is shown to others because you have a shared experience. Only a parent who lost a child can fully understand the grief and sorrow of another parent who loses a child. Or there is the joyous side of this equation. An Olympic athlete who won the gold twenty years ago can celebrate today’s winners. They know the work and discipline it took to get there.

Self Acceptance…

Many people are suffering from low self-esteem. Past mistakes, hurts and hang ups keep people trapped in their own self-imposed prisons. Release yourself from the lie that you aren’t good enough or acceptable. Work at being your best, doing your best and accepting yourself. The Creator of the universe created each of us exactly how He wanted us. That’s good enough for me…

Religion…

Nowadays people say they are “spiritual, not religious.” Religion is simply put, a belief system. Every person on earth is searching for the same thing…to find our greater purpose. The key to success in this endeavor? Develop a relationship with our Creator. He will show you.

Happy?

We pursue happiness in our lives. People wish newlyweds a “lifetime of happiness.” But happiness is moment by moment. Life can be harsh, and it’s difficult to find happiness during those periods. Seek fulfillment. Fulfillment will sustain you when happiness won’t.

Monday…

Begin your week with gratitude. Start counting all the good in your life. Did you wake up? Can you see? Do you have food to eat? People who care about you? Start there and build your own list. No matter how hard life is, there are many things to be grateful for…
