Sitting On The Fence With Opinions

Sitting On The Fence With Opinions

If we did not share our opinions about things, nothing would ever change. We are each entitled to our opinions but must listen to and accept other people’s views. Some people are much more knowledgeable on a certain subject and they have a vast array of good opinions they can share with others. Some opinions may fix a major problem or make a product safer and easier to use in the future.

When you share your opinion with others, do it nicely to not upset the person. Some people get stuck on their opinion, and no one else is ever right. Try to convince them there is always room for improvements and changes, no matter how slight they may be. New furniture, roofing, carpet, paint, etc., in your home, may be expensive, but it is necessary to maintain your home, so it does not need to have everything fixed at once.

If everyone just sat on the fence and kept as quiet as a church mouse, no new inventions or changes would ever occur. Opinions make the stock market go up and down and decide who our next president of the USA will be. Ideas make or break businesses, and they make or break the sale of merchandise.

Use your voice and speak up when necessary. You will need several Doctors’ opinions if you have a severe condition or surgery coming up. Never rely on just one person’s opinion. Get all the facts about the manner at hand before you go through with something you may regret in the long run. Being informed is what any person should want before proceeding with any critical situation.

 

If you sit on the fence and do not like the outcome, you only have yourself to blame. Always speak up because no one else will do it for you. You determine your destiny and your work by taking care of exams, understanding all the facts presented to you, and taking opinions from many educated and informed people who are specialists in their field. Never give up until you get the answers you need.

How I Measure Success

How I Measure Success

A man’s success is not measured by his money or what his money can do for him. Success is measured by the number of friends you have. You are on the right path if you are in a comfortable place with a roof over your head.

Success for some people is to see how much money they can amass over a lifetime. Their money has done nothing to benefit others. Their money is stale and moldy from doing nothing but sitting around. Money truly is the root of all evil. Money controls and takes away valuable hours from a man. The man becomes abscessed with keeping his fortune intact and has lost touch with his family and friends.

If you had to deceive or take advantage of someone to get to where you are, you are not successful in any measure. Success is treating people with the utmost respect. Victory is being comfortable with who you are and knowing you did not take advantage of people. Give to charities that help people have a better life. Live the life God wants you to live, which is the accurate measure of success.

Success is being the best person that you can be. Take time to talk to people; they will enrich your life for many years. Your elders have a much clearer sense of the true meaning of success. You succeed in life if you are kind, gentle, compassionate, loving, and caring.

 

My connection to and serving God in my life are vital. Anything you wish to achieve without God will not get done. God motivates us to our peak levels of success in what he has planned for our lives.

Psalms

1 : 3

And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, bringing forth the fruit in his season; his leaf shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

2 Thessalonians

1: 11 – 12

Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:

That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

I Disagree With The Saying That Without Your Health You Don't Have Anything

I Disagree With The Saying That Without Your Health You Don’t Have Anything

Even if you don’t have your health, you still have God next to you every day of your life. God brings grace, joy, hope, love, peace, and faith to your life. God has a plan for your life. I believe God will help us complete the project he has set forward for our lives. God knows all of our trials and tribulations, and he always helps us out so that we can be excellent stewards.

You still have your family and friends when you are sick. True friends stick by your side until the very end. Rainy-day friends are not indeed your friends. They are opportunists and only want you as a friend when it suits their needs and wants. God will be by your side into eternity, and your soul will live forever in God’s Kingdom.

Happy is a man with a purpose in his life. Make a plan of what you can do today to help people. Give your time freely and faithfully to benefits, and do not charge them a fee for any service you might provide for them. A gift is to help those that are less fortunate than you are. A person that benefits from a benefit has lost the Christian ethic of what a use truly is. God bless those that help with benefits, missions, caring for the sick and elderly, and so much more.

You do not need your health to be a kind and decent and caring individual. Visit with friends and family and the sick and elderly often. They will teach you many life lessons that will improve you as someone people can genuinely count on. Live your life with a connection to God, family, and friends. Leave the world knowing that you made a difference in the lives of others and that what you did will benefit people in years to come.

Galatians 5: 22-23

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance; against such, there is no law.

Time Is Precious

Time Is Precious

Do not make people wait for you. There are a lot of good things that they could accomplish while you are waiting for them. They could help others, be working on a project that could affect the masses, help with mission work, etc.

Time is a valuable gift from God. Use it wisely and kindly every day that you are on Earth. Discover and do something new every day that will enrich your life and the lives of others. Spread your wisdom and knowledge to others so others may learn and spread their knowledge to future generations.

Without learning from our mistakes, we will repeat them and harm others. Do not keep your knowlhide your knowledgebenefit, as that disrespects yourself and others.

We learn a lot of valuable knowledge from God, teachers, family, and friends and by reading books. I once met a man who was excellent at trade, and I asked him to teach me his work, and his reply was no. He wanted to be the only one that could make the item of his career. We will all be dead someday, and it is our duty or privilege to pass our trade on to generations to come so the skills of yesteryear will never be forgotten.

Do not waste time on Earth, as much to be accomplished daily will benefit humanity for generations to come. We will find cures for diseases that have no cure at present. Research takes many person-hours to get a discovery up and to go. Do not just let your days go ideally by. Think to yourself daily: What can I accomplish today to benefit humanity and help spread the word of God?

Life Is An Open Book

Life Is An Open Book

There are many chapters when you read the book, and you learn something new in every chapter. The same goes for you in life. As you progress in life, there will be many chapters and stories in the book of your life.

Remember whether you want that particular part of your life to be a chapter in your book of life. You make decisions in your life every day that will affect your life plus the lives of many other people in your life. Do not make decisions lightly in your life. You are the master of your destiny on Earth if you do not like how your life will change your life’s course.

If you are in a dead-end job or feel you are not needed at your company, work on finding a different position where they appreciate your skills and talents. It is never too late to further your education and take your life in a completely new and different direction that you will find less stressful and more rewarding.

As you get older, you will find many rewarding things that you can do to help others. Volunteer at places you have a passion for and want to support and maintain. Help keep your community clean, help people and reach out to them, spend more time with your loved ones, spend more time outdoors, enjoy nature, and visit and listen to people.

In the chapters in your book of life, share your knowledge freely and openly with others who want to learn some of the things you have learned over the years. Don’t take your knowledge to the grave with you, as this is a terrible loss of your life. Teach the young your trade, standards, values, and a good work ethic, and open the chapters in your book of life to guide them with their book of life. May your book of life have many beautiful stories and extraordinary experiences in its various chapters.

Stay Open To Possibilitities

Stay Open To Possibilities

Some many opportunities or possibilities will come your way in life. Sometimes you will not be ready to take that leap of faith into a new job or opportunity. When opportunity knocks on your door, embrace the chance to move forward and enhance your horizons. If someone tells me I can’t do a particular thing, I am more determined than ever to prove them wrong. I have been open to new possibilities and have,e not been disappointed yet. Not trying to broaden your horizons is the biggest disappointment you will ever make in life. You will never know what you could have achieved or accomplished if you had been open to a new and better improved you.

Job changes or moves can be scary. To have a job that does not excite you or get your creative juices following stagnant s you. I want a job that will test and take me to the next level. We wear many hats in life. We do volunteer work which helps those who need help the most. Parents raise their children with the values and work ethics they have learned. Pastors remind us of our Christian values, how to act as God’s flock, and much more. We can learn a lot from Bible Scriptures and Bible study groups and by studying the Bible on our own. Treat people as you would have them treat you.

Job changes are necessary when your health will no longer allow you to do a particular job. There are many paths you can walk down in life. I enjoy visiting and helping others who are part of God’s flock. Embrace an illness and empower the disease and move forward in life. They are rewarding jobs for us in all life stages if we stay open to possibilities.

Don't Let Anything Break Your Stride In Life

Don’t Let Anything Break Your Stride In Life

When my Mother was sick, there was a new song on the radio called ” Ain’t Nothin’ going to break my stride I have to keep on movin now ” My Mother said always remember that song. I think of that song often and how important those words in that song are. When we lose a loved one or suffer a horrible illness, we must remember to keep moving now.

Many things will come along in your life that will try to break your stride, but we cannot let that happen to us. We have to rise above adversity by reaching out to other people and setting a positive example for them through us. A stride cannot be broken if we focus on the positives in our life and not the negatives.

Don’t let things slow you down for too long; they will consume you and eat you with negativity. Keep a cheerful heart and soul, and you can achieve much that others will see your positive stride shining through your darkest moments. Think of your illness as a fleeting moment and take time to refine yourself if necessary.

Do not let past events break your stride. Learn from past events and move forward toward more uplifting events. Surround yourself with people who know the flow of your life and can help you enrich your energy flow. Enrich and help others, as this will lift your stride considerably. Be connected to God and allow God’s flock to keep moving now.

Nothing can break our stride for long if we keep on the right path in life. We have to keep on moving on and forward.

Panoramic View Of Life

Panoramic View Of Life

Do you have a panoramic view of life? Can you see the entire picture of your life and think your life is headed in the right direction?

One event in your life can make a big difference in someone else’s life. Talking to people about their problems and goals in life can lead to discoveries that could significantly impact the world. Think about how your conversations affect other people before you speak. Will your talk motivate someone, or will it suppress them?

If you fail at one thing in life, keep trying, for all of us have a God-given talent that we can share with the world to help and enable others to achieve their goals in life. Teach someone your trade before you pass away; a part of you can live on forever. Hang onto old-fashioned values as they have helped our ancestors greatly. Without values and ethics, a world deteriorates rapidly.

Help people in need. Sometimes people get into situations that are entirely out of their control. A sudden illness can wipe out a family financially. A couple at a rest home had to pay $9000,00 a month for the two of them and ended up with no money after working hard every day.

The panoramic view of life shows the whole picture in great detail. Do not just focus on one thing in an image. Look at every point in the picture, so you do not miss any golden moments. Have you missed out on specific details in your life? Move forward in life, and do not cry over spilled milk. Travel, learn, explore, visit, and enjoy and share what you have learned with others so they, too, may want to travel and explore new horizons. Always reach for the stars and help other people go for the stars, also.

Keep your mind open to the full panoramic view of life and all it has to offer you and others to achieve significant and worthwhile accomplishments that will help you and others into eternity.

Overconfidence

Overconfidence

If you take a test in school and are positive you are going to Ace that test, you will probably not do so. By being so overly confident, you probably did not study long enough for the test. I have found out that I was not satisfied with the difficulty I did well on. A person tends to study longer for a test. You are somewhat nervous about taking it.

If you are in a debate with someone, you better study every question that may be asked of you. If you stumble and keep looking for the right words, you will look foolish in the discussion. Overconfidence in a debate will finish you off quickly. Know your strengths and weaknesses along with your opponent’s strengths and weaknesses. Be well-informed and answer your questions rapidly and intelligently.

Overconfident people tend to be cocky and full of themselves. By being too confident, you are doomed to failure. Be prepared for unexpected events. Keep an emergency kit in your car, have regular checkups with your Doctor, and stay on top of weather conditions. Overconfidence with driving, your health, and the weather could end your life prematurely.

By being overly confident, you could cost someone their life. You may not be qualified just yet because you passed a test saying you are qualified for a particular job; Practice makes perfect, and does not be afraid to ask questions.

Confidence comes with age and experience and by doing the job and not just reading about it in a book. Never get too cocky, or someone m, ay pull out your plumes. Keep your feet firmly on the ground, keep your head on your shoulders, and learn something new daily that will help you with the confidence you genuinely want. Let God be your compass and your guide in life.

Show Respect To People

Show Respect To People

Show respect to your elders, parents, friends, relatives, workers, people in authority, and yourself. To respect someone is to care about their overall well-being. Do not make fun of people. You may have the same problem yourself someday. Remember the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have them do.

Be a kind and compassionate caregiver. You will have a caregiver take care of you sooner than you think. Do not hit or abuse people that cannot fend for themselves. Never hit or harm anyone. It is inexcusable. Please ensure they are dry overnight, have water, and are fed. Do not let someone lay in bed wet all night long just because they cannot fend for themselves anymore. If you think you control that situation, you are a sad excuse for a human being and a sick and sadistic person.

Do not let someone lay or sit around in pain and do nothing. Try to make someone as comfortable as is humanly possible. If they can not lift an arm to feed themselves, feed them. Help them take a shower and remove their clothes carefully. Never get rough with a sickly person who depends on you for care and their healthy being.

If you break something that belongs to someone, admit that you broke it and replace it ASAP. Treat babies, children, and adults respectfully and teach them to respect others.

How you treat others speaks volumes about your character and the kind of person that you indeed are. If you enjoy watching, someone suffers, you have many serious issues. Show compassion, love, respect, care, and the utmost respect when you care for someone who can no longer care for themselves because of an unforeseen illness.

Be one of God’s good stewards and help protect and care for those who cannot care for themselves anymore.
