Sometimes being silent is the only way to speak the truth.

Sometimes words simply cannot capture the subtle nuances of your feelings. In such times, avoid being verbally misunderstood, by letting the silence speak through your eyes, your breathing, and posture.

The great advantage of having nothing is that everything becomes a gain.

Losing everything is at the same time the scariest, as well as the most liberating experience you can have. When you have something, - anything, you've got to protect it from disappearing. And so worry becomes a resident in your heart. When you've got nothing, your heart overflows with gratitude for every offering you receive.

The-best-way-to-be-happy

Never mind what do people say against you. Anyway, you cannot please everyone. You are the only one who’s in charge of your happiness I am a very positive and strong person. Positive thoughts everyday really helps me get through my day. I only focus on me and not everyone else around me. I am very blessed and thankful everyday of my life. I don’t worry about what other people think. It’s my life and I’m loving it because I am strong, amazing and beautiful.

Truth has strength and power of its own.

In any situation you find yourself in, look for truth, search for it deep in your heart. Let that truth of your heart flow, and you will see obstacles melt like ice.

Turn to Him to experience all you need.

God wants you to know that He won't let you drown. You may feel like you are going under. You may feel that you can't keep up appearances and that your broken heart will bury you, but Jesus has you. He can heal your heart and restore hope. Don't give up and don't run away from Him. Turn to Him to experience all you need.

"WHERE I HAVE AND HAVE NOT BEEN."

I have been in many places, but I've never been in Cahoots. Apparently, you can't go alone. You have to be in Cahoots with someone. I've also never been in Cognito. I hear no one recognizes you there. I have, however, been in Sane. They don't have an airport; you have to be driven there. I have made several trips there, thanks to my friends, family and work. I would like to go to Conclusions, but you have to jump, and I'm not too much on physical activity anymore. I have also been in Doubt. That is a sad place to go, and I try not to visit there too often. I've been in Flexible, but only when it was very important to stand firm. Sometimes I'm in Capable, and I go there more often as I'm getting older. One of my favorite places to be is in Suspense! It really gets the adrenalin flowing and pumps up the old heart! At my age I need all the stimuli I can get!

When you give with love there's never any regrets.

If you give and expect anything in return you will always be disappointed. You give from your heart, no matter the outcome and you will be blessed, maybe not from that person but it will come in peace and hopefulness. Some people allow pride to get in the way of being appreciative, allow them that, they may thank you by paying it forward. We are human, we can’t see into each others hearts, we can only give with them.

When you need some energy and inspiration, step outside.

Touch the Earth with your feet, lift your face to the sun, breathe the air, listen to the birds and the wind through the trees. Glory in the creation that surrounds you.

When-you-really-matter-to-someone

Value it and treasure it! I can’t imagine a better thought then facing life with a partner that won’t let you go it alone and always shows you are valuable to them. It’s more important to make time for people when they are still alive, rather than cry crocodile tears at the funeral home when they have passed. You need not jump oceans for people who won’t jump puddles for you!

Where would we be without God?

Looking back over the last year-and-a-half of our lives, we can see that we came through one ordeal after another. We realize that we are made of some pretty tough stuff. God made us that way. There are times when we may think that we are all alone. Then we realize, that the Lord brought us through even when we knew not, we were being led by Him. In fact, it was the trials and ordeals that made us stronger then we were before. All the credit and all the glory is given to Him. I now realize that when my mind is not on Him - I am on His. So are you!

You are unique.

There has never been anyone exactly like you, nor will there be anyone with your gifts and abilities in the future. Stand up straight, smile and share your uniqueness with the world today.

You can give yourself more credit.

Are you juggling too much? Sometimes you don't give yourself enough credit for what you do get done in a day. Today, celebrate your accomplishments.

Passing Gas Can Help Lower Blood Pressure.

This is great news for fans of the ever popular ‘pull my finger’ game. Next time somebody gets mad at you for flatulating in their presence, tell them your are just simply lowering your blood pressure. According to a new study, the same gas that produces flatulence has been shown to control blood pressure in rodents. The gas in question is hydrogen sulphide, which is generated by bacteria living in your gut that produces an enzyme that relaxes blood vessels and lowers blood pressure. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University say that rodents with higher levels of hydrogen sulphide had lower blood pressure than other rodents with lower levels of the toxic gas. Researchers at China’s Southeast University in Nanjing are trying to find out if this could be used to create a treatment for humans suffering from high blood pressure, but Professor Yao Yuyu says that using gas to treat high blood pressure in humans could be risky. Yuyu says, “The gas could also have negative effects on other parts of the body.” So guys, the next time you are sitting around with your buddies and you all decide to recreate that classic fart scene from the movie ‘Blazing Saddles’ (as seen below), tell your wife or girlfriend that you are doing it with the best interest of your health in mind…that should work.

You can trust Him.

The doors will open. The mountains will move and everything you need, He will provide. You are loved by the God who makes a way where there seems to be no way, and He will come through.

You cannot let this day pass without telling the people you love that you love them.

Do not take for granted the people closest to your heart. Nothing is permanent, celebrate them now.

You need to have faith.

No matter how deep the abyss or how powerful the storms you face, everything can change for the better in a day, a moment or an instant. Hold on and know that your current circumstances will pass.

You were not created to remain within the confines of a building.

There is a whole big beautiful world that was created for you. Go forth into it! Humans were not made to be indoor creatures; nature is our true playground.

All virtues, when practiced regularly, grow in size.

Cultivate the virtues of love, kindness, joy, - and you will be rewarded with a life filled with love, kindness and joy.

Allow God to fill your heart with joy.

Today, may God's vision for your life drive you and may His presence and peace surround you. May you not be distracted by the challenges, but may you find victory over them as you continue to run after the plans He has for you. Don't forget that God is good, He is with you, and He is the giver of every good gift. Use this day well and allow Him to fill your heart with joy.

Cast your cares on Him for He cares for you:

Not just a slogan but a command. Will you trust Him? Will you allow Him to carry your burdens? When you don't feel you can do it any longer, pray a prayer of surrender and watch God transform your crisis into a testimony of Christ's power.

Everyone is looking for love, but the blessed ones do the opposite.

Blessed are those looking to give love. Right now think of three simple ways you can give love and be blessed.

God is moving.

He is bringing peace to those trapped in emotional storms, He is healing broken hearts, and He is showering love on those who are isolated and alone. He is rescuing the lost and He is moving mountains. Today, He is moving around you and He will come through.

Talking to Yourself: A Sign of Sanity

Though we live in a noisy world, many people struggle with too much silence in their lives. They are either living alone or living with others who are engrossed in their own thing. (That’s easy to do in the digital age). Sure, you can always click on the TV, the radio, or your latest digital gizmo. But what happens if you’re aching for a live person to talk to? To bounce ideas off of? To appreciate your accomplishments (big or small)? When you’re feeling lonely, chances are you’re neglecting to give enough attention to a very special person. One who is always there with you. Who’s that? Why, you, of course. So, talk to yourself. Not just in your head. But out loud. Talk to yourself out loud? Doesn’t that mean you’re becoming daft? Losing it? Ready for the funny farm? Not at all. Talking with yourself not only relieves the loneliness, it may also make you smarter. It helps you clarify your thoughts, tend to what’s important and firm up any decisions you’re contemplating. There’s just one proviso: You become smarter only if you speak respectfully to yourself. I know one woman, a sane and lovely lady, who is not so lovely to herself. Her self-talk is a testament to everything she has done wrong. “You idiot!” is her hallmark headline, followed with a complete dressing down. “You should have done it this way; you should have been aware of that; you should have thought of it sooner.” That kind of self-talk is worse than no talk at all. So if your style is like her style, cut it out. Right now. Begin talking to yourself like you are your own best friend. Which you are. Right? Here are four types of self-talk that will make you smarter and feel better about yourself: 1. Complimentary. Why wait to get compliments from another? If you deserve them, give them to yourself. Besides, most people aren’t going to have the foggiest notion about the little actions you take that serve you well. Like the time you were tempted but decided to bypass the ice cream shop because you honored your commitment to yourself to lose five pounds. Doesn’t that deserve a shout-out compliment such as, “I’m proud of you”? Or the time you finally accomplished a bunch of things that you’ve been meaning to do — doesn’t that deserve a shout-out “good job!”? Kids hear that phrase incessantly while most adults never hear it. Let’s fix that right now! 2. Motivational.You may not feel like doing boring or difficult tasks. Live with others and they’ll give you a swift kick in the pants as a reminder to clean up your mess or tend to that tough task. But you can motivate yourself to get going with a much kinder voice. “Hey, sweetie-pie (that’s you you’re talking to). You’ve got time this morning to tidy up; how about it?” Or, “Hey, big guy, time to call your accountant before the IRS comes knockin’ at your door.” 3. Outer dialogue. Having trouble with making a decision? Should you stay or should you go? Speak up or stay silent? Buy this gift or that gift? Choices aren’t easy. Indeed, because they’re so difficult, we often don’t really make a choice; we respond impulsively from habit or anxiety. It’s much more effective, however, to create a dialogue with yourself so that you can hear what you think. “I want to stay because of xxxx but I want to go because of yyyy. I’m clearly ambivalent. Nevertheless, l need to figure out which decision to make. Time to have an interesting dialogue with myself and see which way the wind is blowing.” Having such a dialogue can assist you in making a commendable compromise or a workable conciliation between your wants, your needs and others’ expectations. 4. Goal-setting. Let’s say you’re trying to be better organized so the holidays are not so frenzied. Setting a goal and making a plan (i.e. what to do, when to do it, how to do it) can be a big help. Sure, you can just make a list, but saying it out loud focuses your attention, reinforces the message, controls your runaway emotions and screens out distractions. Top athletes do this all the time by telling themselves to “keep your head down. Keep your eye on the ball. Breathe.” It works well for them, why not for you? Whether you’re living by yourself or living with others, you’re always living with yourself. So don’t leave yourself out of the equation. Converse, chatter, communicate respectfully with yourself. It’s not a sign of insanity. It’s a sign of good health.

God is on your side.

You may feel invisible, forgotten, and ignored, but God has seen your situation, He has heard your cries, and He will come through. Don't lose heart. Fight for your faith, and remind yourself that God is on your side. He will never leave or forsake you, and He will always come through.

God is powerful.

He is strong and He is mighty. He is unshakable and He is immoveable. But He is also personal. Today, may you sense the personal touch of Jesus. May you know His voice and experience His presence. May you understand His love. God is with you and He is for you, and He will never let you go.

God wants you to know that He is present in the midst of your chaos.

If you are reading this, God wants you to know that He is present in the midst of your chaos. He is reaching out His hand and offering His peace. If you have trusted Him, He is with you, in you, and for you. You are not alone and your storm will not destroy you.

GodIsAble

You may not have the answers that you were hoping for and you may not know the specifics of what God is up to, but you can be assured that He is with you, He is for you, and He will work all things for your good. Don't get discouraged and don't give up. He is capable and His timing is perfect. He will not let you down.

Just know you are better and walk away

If a person comes at you with unkind words, let them finish ranting, then say “do you feel better now that you got that off your chest” or an argument that you know you are right. “I refuse to have words with an unarmed person”, if you ate being called nasty names, wait till the person stops talking or takes a breath, “that’s the nicest thing anyone had said to me today”. Any just I’ve ever had was tough, I always worked with the dealing with the public. Remember, you teach people how to treat you.

Move forward with what you know, not what you feel.

God is good! You have been forgiven. You are loved and He has great plans for you. Your feelings may try to convince you that God is not good or that you are all alone, but keep moving forward. God will meet you, empower you , and use you as you continue to silence the lies and embrace His truth.

No matter what happens to you, you always have freedom of mind.

That means you always have freedom to choose the path of virtue over the path of suffering, to choose being one with God over being alone.

Not a fortune cookie, but a reminder of God's character.

God wants to remind you to keep your eyes on Him and your heart expectant. God is moving in your life and in your situation, and you will see the result of your prayers soon.

Not everything is meant to be a forever in your life

If you give them one chance they take advantage and will keep doing the same over and over again. You can’t be the victim without your own approval. It is even more painful when it is family, but some people are toxic and you must leave them behind for your sanity. Life is a continuously an experiment and we learn from our mistakes, fall, rise again and again!

Put your trust in Him

God has been faithful and He will continue to be faithful. Don't let fear or anxiety convince you that there is need to worry. Put your trust in Him and He will come through for you.
