Seeing Growth Is Not An Option, It Is Necessary
Know your worth. Before he died, a father said to his son; “Here is a watch that your grandfather gave me. It is almost 200 years old. Before I give it to you, go to the jewelry store downtown. Tell them that I want to sell it, and see how much they offer you.” The son went to the jewelry story, came back to his father, and said; “They offered $150.00 because it’s so old.”…

Often, if you do good, people will think you are selfish and have ulterior motives. DO GOOD ANYWAY!!! I’m sure that we can all relate to these types of things in our daily lives, but sometimes other people seem to be our greatest obstacles. We all face situations where we take the proper steps and do everything for the right reasons, but we run into issues with people. Sometimes these are the people who are…

We all want the best that life has to offer and we have the opportunity to get just that when we give life the best that we have to offer. We can sit around dreaming of the things that we desire, the things that we could do to obtain them, and what we would do if we obtained them. We might just be able to see some progress in the dream that we are having…

Bucking the system and going against the grain is necessary to stand out in a crowd at times, but other times it will put us right back in the crowd we are trying to show our individuality in and stand out of. It’s not the act of being different or taking our own routes that keep us in general population or in a population that is frowned upon, it is when we buck the system…

I think we all have problems with other people judging us for who we are, giving us great advice that is only great for them, and being somewhat prejudiced against us without saying so. I have learned to embrace these people and their good intentions so that I can use these good intentions to continue being the best me that I could possibly be. When someone gives me sound advice, that is from the heart,…

There are times that people will argue with you to prove that their point is on target, even when their point or target has nothing to do with the conversation. This happens because people miss the point at times and there are even times that people avoid the point altogether. This is something that we all have to learn to deal with, learn to steer clear of, and learn to avoid doing. When a person…

Not getting the results that we would like to see, the outcome we prefer, and doing things for no personal pleasure or growth has us asking the question: What’s the purpose? The purpose is for us to share the things that we receive. If all we do is expect to get things for our actions, we soon run out of space to receive the blessings that we seek. We must learn to be appreciative and…

When we want to get a point across, it is always best to express ourselves clearly. We have to say exactly what we mean and we can’t change the meaning of our words when we are questioned about our statements. We have to stand behind our word because it becomes our bond to those that receive it. Once a word leaves our mouth it becomes a part of history, and although history can be made,…

The only true safety or comfort zones exist in living a life that is true to who we really are. Even when we feel safe with a friendship, relationship, or set of circumstances, someone else’s truth or something unexpected might trigger feelings that can erase all traces of the safety and comfort that we once felt. Safety and comfort are feelings or states of mind, and we have control over our feelings of safety and…

We sometimes miss the smallest things in life by moving too fast. We miss the true beauty of things, small details, and important parts of the meaning of things when we move too fast. Slowing down helps us keep track, focus, and relieves the pressure of a “hurry, hurry, hurry lifestyle.” By rushing we miss things like the way our children, loved ones, and peers are growing. By slowing down our life just a little,…
