Improve yourself and be the best you can be [Personal Growth]


As you read this heading I feel sure you are wondering what the spin is going to be around my thinking.  Will this be something you can use in your own life or is this some reflections of what took place and is still happening in my own life?  You and I both now we can only write about our own life experiences.

In that case, let’s see what we can learn from each other.  To my thinking, one should always be able to learn, stay creative and add a dash of wisdom in the mix.  Being honest is something I would consider something to always keep in one's arsenal.  

At any rate, we all go through different things in our lives and we need to stay focused on growing spiritually and of course in our material world.  Spiritually to my way of thinking is to actually have a living relationship with the Lord Jesus.  This keeps me human and helps me stay focused.  I pray when I feel down and read my Bible to help me going forward.  I find in staying connected to the Lord Jesus I have a different set of rules for my own life. 

I have learned to preserve to the end and just never ever give up.  I have also learned by prayer and constant speaking to the Lord I have courage for each day.  To my mind, I believe that the Holy Spirit resides within my heart and because of that, I am being renewed each and every day. 

Being open-minded is difficult and really hard for me because I have a set standard which I keep to.  So I always have to consider what it means to other people.  Originality is something we all can learn, we like to copy other people because it seems like they know everything and seem to arrive.  My question to you is, have they? 

I aspire to be independent and smart; in the mix, I try and stay playful and absolute work at being a really nice person.  Trying to keep me from being too judgemental.

I hope this message was inspirational, with a touch of kindness and compassion and most of all that you would have learned something from me.  Improving yourself and being the best you can be.


You are a blessing!

#never #destroyed

https://goo.gl/xK6bTg 2 Corinthians 4: 8-9AMP “We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair; hunted down and persecuted, but not deserted [to stand alone]; struck down, but never destroyed;” I realized that my emotions are something that can cause me to feel pressure and hedged in. My circumstances seem impossible and I feel that there is no way I am going to make it. Then it’s time to check what is going on in your personal life.  Are you getting enough sleep? Are you eating properly? Do you take a break from time to time? If I don’t get enough sleep it seems despair is knocking at my door, and I feel miserable. I just cannot move forward, I want to curl up and died. Just because I am tired and there seems to be no way out. Emotions have a way of controlling each one of us. I realized that I will never be destroyed because there is a way forward.  God gave me common sense an...

You are a Blessing to me!

Working in a multiracial office is always interesting, and my story today is one about sharing and looking out for each other.    Our cleaning lady doesn’t earn much and I doubt even if they are paying her ‘mini mum wages’.   Nevertheless the people in our office know this and worry about her.    One of the young ladies decided to give her a newspaper with all the latest add in it.   As she paged through the paper she sat next to her and asked her ‘what do you like’.    Looking at the stuff on the page she pick out a couple of things that seemed impossible to own and said to this young girl.   I like this and I would love to have one of these. Without her knowledge the Human Resource division made a collection and they then assigned the task to the young lady to buy the things Judy wanted. We gave her, her gifts today.   I was amazed at her gratefulness, tears of joy running down her face and all she could say was “T...

The View from the Sycamore Tree

"Ill-gotten treasures have no lasting value, but righteousness delivers from death. The Lord does not let the righteous go hungry, but he thwarts the craving of the wicked. Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth." Proverbs 10:2–10 Reflection The Turning Point: I used to think that by this stage of my life. The path was already set in stone. I looked at the mirror and saw the silver hair and the lines of age. I felt as though I was simply watching the clock run out on my dreams. I’ve spent years in the "midlife crisis." Wrestling with the ghosts of regrets, careers that didn't flourish, relationships that felt the strain of time. The nagging fear of being "less than" in a world that prises youth and worldly success. But then I saw Zacchaeus. He was a man who had spent his life traveling in the wrong direction. Chasing "ill-gotten treasures" that left his soul hungry. When he climbed that tree, he wasn't just trying t...
