Just a Minute

Be the first
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
cannot be taken back and even
more importantly they expose your
true character.
What you say has the power to
build up as well as tear down
another;what you say has the
power to defile your own being
…
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 we 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 control of self. 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.
