Big Sis to Lil Sis

Be careful what you pick up
what traits you copy and
what habits you adopt;
It’s never easy to shed the
old self and it takes even longer
for people to accept the new self.
Be careful what you say.
Think it through a hundred times or
more if it needs to be said.
Words expose your true character
and what you say cannot be taken back.  
What you say has the power to
build up as well as tear down
another;what you say has the
power to make you unclean.

At times silence is best kept.
Exercise wisdom in all things
Wisdom comes through experiences.
No one can gain it for you
It is the good that you take from
experiences both good and bad that
is the building block of wisdom…
Not the wisdom preached by this
world, but the wisdom which comes
through knowing one’s self.

Practice self control. The small step
you take today in this direction will make
a huge impact tomorrow. Discipline is key
to growth while indiscipline leads to
stagnation.
Know that you are who you think you are
and that no one on this earth has the power
to tell you who/what you are. The moment
you agree to someone’s summation of you
is the moment YOU cease to exist.
Never allow yourself to feel comfortable
at point zero. Point zero is the lowest place;
where you have many regrets, you are angry
all the time, you can’t accomplish what you
need to and everyone is to be blamed except
YOU.
Believe that you can do anything you set
your mind to…belief fueled by fervent action
can move mountains. Never let an obstacle
get you down, keep at it until you’re there.
Patience is a key that can unlock many doors.
Finally, seek guidance in all that you
do,from the only one who knows all
that you don’t. Seek His face in everything,
keep your eyes continually on Him
and he will lead you in the way you must go
Trust in God always.

A Matter of Time

I don't think it's any coincidence that God's time  seems to be the theme for this month. There just always seems to be a time line involved in everything we want to get done. Anyway, as my birthday is fast approaching I've been spending time reflecting, going through pictures, reading my journals just really reflecting to get some perspective. What was interesting was that while going through the journal I just happened to buck up this to-do list...yea...one of those goal to-do lists  where I need to do x by y time . Funnily, the list was written back in 2006 and it had check boxes placed next to the goals. I noticed that at least 3 boxes were still not ticked at the time, while others were ticked and dated...and now for the surprise the unchecked were: 1. Become a lacto-ovo vegetarian  2. Go Natural and 3. Something else that I can't quite remember now.. . It was very funny to me, as reading it marked the 8th day since I had gone vegan with no desire for mea...

Empathy?

I feel your pain I look to you and I cannot imagine how You pulled through, how You were able to still go on You were made an example of how I could pull through the storms of life. Could I? What immeasurable strength What grace in the face of hardship For a moment you stumbled For a moment cast down under The burden of despair and the past. Then like an eagle on fresh wind You alight to face the new horizon Staring blatantly in the face of uncertainty To taste the dew of new mercies. Dare I Empathize? You my friend are the epitome of Strength. ~Live Life, Love God, One Enkounter at a Time~

Loneliness Cure: Emotional Hygiene

Before the grumpy cat gets under your skin this Valentine's Day, here are my FIVE favourite quotes from Dr. Guy Winch's TED Talk: "We all know how to care for our physical health but what do we know about maintaining our emotional hygiene?" "We sustain psychological injuries (failure, rejection and rumination) even more than we sustain physical injuries." "Once we become convinced of something, it's very difficult to change our mind." "You cannot allow yourself to feel that a situation is helpless. You have to fight for control over the situation and break the negative cycle before it begins." "When you're in emotional pain, treat yourself with the same compassion you'd expect from a really good friend."
