GREAT ADVICE

Don't date because you are desperate.
Don't marry because you are miserable.
Don't have kids because you think your genes are superior.
Don't separate because you think it's fashionable.
Don't drink because you have troubles.
Don't gamble because you think winning is inevitable.
Don't philander because you think you are irresistible.
Don't associate with people you can't trust.
Don't cheat. Don't lie. Don't pretend.
Don't dictate because you are smarter.
Don't demand because you are stronger.
Don't sleep around because you think you are old enough and
know better.
Don't hurt your kids because loving them is harder.
Don't sell yourself, your family, or your ideals.
Don't stagnate.
Don't regress.
Don't live in the past. Time can't bring anything or anyone
back.
Don't put your life on hold for possibly Mr/Mrs Right.
Don't throw your life away on absolutely Mr Wrong because
your biological clock is ticking.

Learn a new skill.
Find a new friend.
Start a new career.
Sometimes, there is no race to be won,
Only a price to be paid for some of life's hastier
decisions.
To terminate your loneliness, reach out to the homeless.
To feed your nurturing instincts, care for the needy.
To fulfill your parenting fantasies, get a puppy.
Don't bring another life into this world for all the wrong
reasons.

To make yourself happy, pursue your passions and be the
best of what you can be.
Simplify your life. Take away the clutter.
Get rid of destructive elements:
abusive/ backstabbing "friends", nasty habits, and
dangerous liaisons.
Don't abandon your responsibilities but don't overdose on
duty.
Don't live life recklessly without thought and feeling for
your family.

Be true to yourself.
Don't commit when you are not ready.
Don't keep others waiting needlessly.
Go on that trip. Don't postpone it.
Say those words. Don't let the moment pass.
Do what you have to, even at society's scorn.
Write poetry.
Love Deeply.
Walk barefoot.
Dance with wild abandon.

Cry at the movies.
Take care of yourself. Don't wait for someone to take care
of you.
You light up your life.
You drive yourself to your destination.
No one completes you - except YOU.
It is true that life does not get easier with age. It only
gets more challenging.
Don't be afraid.
Don't lose your capacity to love.
Pursue your passions.
Live your dreams.
Don't lose faith in your God.
Don't grow old. Just grow YOU!

If listened to, that would be great.
Thing is though... most don't seek answers till they are needed.
For most of us, we don't look for the way to get out of a hole till we fall into it. Experience tells us to use a ladder. Maybe we all should read and reread that so we will know where the ladder is when the next hole shows up.



No one completes you - except YOU. (correction) Except GOD

Don't lose faith in your God.

received this from a friend this morning .. I really like it.

Today's Meditation:
God is your healer and your strength. You do not have to ask Him to come to you. He is always with you in spirit. At your moment of need He is there to help you. Could you know God's love and His desire to help you, you would know that He needs no pleading for help. Your need is God's opportunity. You must learn to rely on God's strength whenever you need it. Whenever you feel inadequate to any situation, you should realize that the feeling of inadequacy is disloyalty to God. Just say to yourself: I know that God is with me and will help me to think and say and do the right thing.

Today's Prayer:
I pray that I may never feel inadequate to any situation. I pray that I may be buoyed up by the feeling that God is with me.

Today's Quotable:
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart. Helen Keller
