17.01.2022 Why is life so complicated? Why is there so much stress and so many problems? We have got so far away from what life is about. It's not about how much I have, how smart I am or even how popular I am. Life is about how we connect with others, especially family and friends. We will always have circumstances that come against us. It's family and friends who walk with us that make it all bearable. Life's not about how wealthy, important or popular I am. It's about how well co...nnected I am too others. We can't always escape the problems but we can share the journey. See more

15.01.2022 Life is all about choices. We can choose to be a victim or a victor. We can't choose the family we are born into, or what others do to us. But we can choose what we do about these things. A victor gets on top of the issues of life. A victim allows the issues to overcome them. We do need to process the bad things that happen and grieve when we are hurt. However it makes no sense to spend the rest of our lives under the control of these things. A victor chooses to have a po...sitive attitude and they have success. Victims have a negative attitude and live out of this. We can choose to live a life of victory, it depends on the attitude we decide to have. If we keep living in our past hurts, we bring them into our present and allow them to control our future. The only way we can look forward to the future is if we can live in the present and get over the past. Let's choose to live as victors, deal with our wounds and leave them in our past where they belong. See more

13.01.2022 Life can be so difficult at times, there is so much we all go through. There are the the early years of finding out who we are and where we fit in. The awkward teenage years. The middle stages where we establish a career and build our family. The latter years when we deal with so much lose. Then we face the difficult fact of our own approaching death. No one gets through life without being affected. The heartbreak of broken relationships, the death of friends, financial pres...sures, health issues, family pressures. We have all been betrayed and let down at some stage.....hurting people hurt people. We have a choice to be part of the problem or part of the solution. We can criticise and reject those who don't fit our view of the world. Or we can accept others rights to be different and treat people with the dignity and respect they deserve. My point is that we can pass the hurts we all have from our lives on to others. Or we can make the buck stop with us. Life is full of challenges, pain and disappointments. It is also full of love, enjoyment and fulfillment. It depends on whether we live our life reacting to the negative aspects or by embracing the positive. If we focus on the pain and blame our life will be full of pain and guilt. If we focus on the beauty and wonder these aspects will fill our life. Choose life and love. See more

11.01.2022 Forgiveness is an act of the will. We chose to forgive, especially when we don't feel like it. When we make the choice to forgive, God will empower us to do it. Then our emotions will line up with our choice. Unfortunately we usually line our choice up with our emotions. We need to live with our spirit, (our essence, connecting us to God), leading our soul (thinking, feeling, will). Not our soul determining our actions. The scriptures are clear about the call on us to forg...ive. The last thing Jesus spoke about from the cross was the forgiveness of people who hurt us. We all have people we need to forgive. From the crippling wounds of the past to the person who cut us off in the traffic today. Let's not let these festering wounds infect or lives anymore. Let's choose to forgive and move on with our lives. See more

07.01.2022 We are a product of our upbringing and the circumstances of our lives. I was with a friend this morning and he was talking about his sister who is in an abusive relationship. The guy she is with has total control over her. He actually locks her in the house when he goes out. My friend also shared that he feels guilty every day for the domestic violence he has been involved in. As we talked he told me his father was totally controlling over his mother and beat her if she diso...beyed him. The kids are just living out the relationships that were modeled by their parents. While it's not their fault for what was modeled to them it is their responsibility to change their behaviour. We are a product of our past but we don't have to stay there. See more

01.01.2022 I've been feeling flat for the last couple of weeks. Instead of dealing with it I've fed it. I've played my Sudoku and crosswords more. This is where I hide when the pressure starts getting to me. It's my mindless place where my thoughts can be blocked. Problem is I don't end up feeling better, I keep spiraling down. We all have walls we put up to protect us from the stress of this world. We think they keep the problems and pain out. Truth is they keep us trapped inside. I...t's in these times that I have to do what I least want to and that's let people in. The truth is that hiding and avoiding the problems doesn't help, it make things worse. The only way out is to face the fear and do what I know is right, even though I don't want to. Just expressing this is making a difference. Time to get up and get going again.......hope you'll join me. See more
