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…

Self Care…

Do what you need to do to take care of yourself mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. If you don’t take care of you, you won’t be any good to anyone else…

Checking In…

We are almost three months into 2021. If you set resolutions or goals for 2021, how’s it going? I encourage you, do not give up. If you are off-track, do a reset and begin again. And again. And again. It’s hard to beat someone who refuses to give up…

Some Day…

People stare off into the clouds and say, “some day I’m going to…” Why not start today?

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.

Restoration and Redemption…

All of us have made mistakes. Little mistakes and sometimes colossal ones. We need forgiveness in our hearts. We ask for it, and we should offer it…
