Dear Friend,
Here are a few things to keep in mind as you journey through life.
Your Health: Drink plenty of water every day to detoxify your body. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar so you can be here for long. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less manufactured food. Live with the 3 Es - You must keep your Energy, Enthusiasm and Empathy. Make time to pray, you need divine strength every day of your life. Play games to challenge your brain and keep it young all the time. Read more books to keep pace with your personal development drive. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day for deep, reflective and focused thinking. Sleep for at least 6 hours daily so you can keep your energy level at pace. Take a 30-45 minutes’ walk daily. And while you walk, wear a smile to relax.
Your Personality: Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea of what their purpose is. Don't develop negative thoughts on things you cannot control e.g. the weather elements rather invest your energy in things that are within your reach e.g. your moods. Don't live overboard. Live within your strength; develop your capacity to overshadow your limitations. Don't take yourself so seriously. Relax, deadlines are set by people. But, achieve your goals. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip or backbiting so you won’t be laid back. Dream more while you are awake and put your thoughts in concrete plans with actions. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need. The grass is not greener on the other side. You are gifted for your assignment. Forget issues of the past. Don't remind people about the mistakes of their past that will ruin their present happiness. The past is always what it is – the past! Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Don't hate others. Live in forgiveness. You owe everyone your love and forgiveness because you are not perfect. Make peace with your past so it won't always show up in your present. Don’t cover it any further; confront it to enjoy true freedom; no one is in charge of your happiness except YOU! Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appears and fade away like algebra classes but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime. Laugh at your mistakes and refuel to face your future. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree. Life is about win-win experiences.
Your Relationships: Call your family often. You don’t have a space that can’t be occupied by your loved ones! Each day give something good to others. Make people around you feel great about their lives. Forgive everyone for everything even when they are unlovable and unforgivable in your own estimations. Opinions are cheap but convictions are rare. Spend time with people over the age of 70 & under the age of 6 years so you can understand the dynamics of life. Try to make at least three people smile each day. Your job/business won't take care of you when you are down. Your friends will. Stay in touch.
Your Life: Always desire to do the right thing, without any compromise! Get rid of anything that isn't useful in your life; don’t waste your time and opportunities. GOD can heal everything, especially the so-called hopeless situations of our lives. However good or bad a situation is; it will come to pass. It has definitely not come to stay. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up. Consistency is the rule of life. The best is yet to come. Always develop a good expectation of a favourable outcome. When you awake alive in the morning, thank GOD because Life itself is a gift! Be joyful!
Don't hesitate to share this with everyone you care about this week.
Shalom (Peace) |
