Live and Let Live

It can really get tiring and frustrating how some people just can't seem to mind their own business and watch how you live your life, following your every move, and (possibly) waiting for you to fall.

I don't know what their problems are and I don't know what I did to get them to do that to me, but I try my best not to be like them. I stick to this wonderful message that I have always lived by for the past five years:

"Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody." ~1 Thessalonians 4:11-12

It's best to be independent at all times, all though it might be inevitable to have a helping hand at some point. That way, you will not be in a high debt of gratitude, something that most people like to collect from others.

A Warning to the Lazy

We all get lazy at times. But if you've noticed how easy it can become to sway away from the things that we need to get done, here's a little reminder from the Bible:

"A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest - and poverty will come on you like a bandit and scarcity like an armed man." ~Proverbs 6:10-11

Purpose

I believe that everything happens for a REASON. People change so that you can learn to LET GO. Things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're RIGHT. You believe lies so you eventually learn to trust NO ONE BUT YOURSELF. And sometimes, good things fall apart so BETTER things can fall together..

Be Strong!

Nothing dries sooner than tears. Life can never promise to be always happy but life gets better after you accept things you can't change.

Beware..

ANGER will destroy you before it destroys anyone else. Control your temper.
PRIDE will lead to your downfall. Humility is far more rewarding.
JEALOUSY grows like a cancer. Refrain from it before it kills your relationship completely.
FEAR OF PEOPLE is unnecessary if you trust God.
CONCEIT is ugly. A conceited person forgets God's place in his/her life.

Where Can You Find Happiness?

Happiness is somewhere between too little and too much. May you have just enough wealth to meet your needs. Enough poverty to learn how to work hard. Enough blessings to know God loves you. Enough problems so you don't forget Him. Enough happiness to keep you sweet. Enough trials to keep you strong. Enough hope to keep you happy. Enough sorrow to keep you human. What you are is God's gift to you but what you become is your gift to God.

Chicken Soup for the Day

We barely notice but we lose a piece of ourselves by being unhappy. these little pieces are priceless because they can no longer be recovered. We aren't living a true life if we don't live happy. There are lots of things to be happy about. It's just a matter of appreciation and knowing. Life's great! ENJOY LIVING!
