GOD & You

Many people seem to think that they can rely on everyone for everything every time. This is not true. You can rely on people but at some point their actions will let you down. We as humans are not perfect and will always do something, intentionally or accidentally, to let someone down. It is important to not let the actions of others drag you down emotionally and affect your attitude. Always remember that the only people you can fully rely on is God and yourself. If you want something to happen in life, don't rely on other people, take charge yourself or ask God for help. By doing this you will always see the end result that God wants for you in your life.

Be A Blessing To Everyone

Something that we should all try to do each and every day is be a blessing to everyone we come in contact with. You don't always have to do major things for people to make a difference in their lives. People will appreciate the little things just as much as the big things. Open a door for someone, smile, or just say hi. Actions that might seem simple to many, could change the lives of others forever. God created us to be blessings to other people, not curses. We all have the power to choose, will you be a blessing today?

No Discrimination On God's Creation

We live in a very judgmental world. If you don't act, look, or speak a certain way people will make fun of you. Everyone is created differently, but equally in the eyes of God. We were not all designed to be the same weight, height, or have the same features. God doesn't create junk. Be thankful for the way you were created because you will never be like anyone else. Do not make fun of anyone for the way that they were created, because you will hurt both that persons heart and the heart of God. Our God is the ultimate sculptor and he designs everyone with a particular purpose. That purpose is to be different and to contribute our differences to make the world a more glorious place.

Be A Leader Not A Follower

Being a leader, today, is definitely the road less traveled. These days everyone tends to go with the flow and follow. Many people do things because they are easily influenced by others and think it is the "cool thing" to do. What is cool is being your own person, and not doing things just because everyone else is. God created everyone individually, uniquely, and with our own DNA. Be the person God created you to be and be proud of who you are. Step away from the pack and be different in life. Go your own way, it will lead to a more self satisfying experience.

Respect Is The Right Thing To Do

The old saying goes respect is earned not given, I don't believe this is true. God wants us to respect all people, even those who don't deserve it. Respect everyone and treat them the way that you want to be treated. If a person disrespects you, do not have an eye for an eye mentality, turn the other cheek. You will get much further in life by respecting others than you will with hatred and disrespect.

STRENGTH

Our strength is constantly tested on a day to day basis throughout our lives. People face many different experiences that help make them stronger. God made us to be strong. Staying strong in every situation is the key to overcoming any obstacle. It is important to stay strong in every moment of your life, even through the high times. Showing strength can also help influence others, in a positive way, to help them become stronger.  

The Little Things In Life

We often get carried away in the hustle and bustle of life. Many do not step back to appreciate the little things. As humans, we rarely pay attention to detail. We can feel closer to God and ourselves when we just slow down. The next time you are walking through the woods, pay attention to the details of God's creation. I am amazed by life when I do this everyday. Sit back, relax, and smell the daisies.
