EMPTY YOUR CUP"" FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Image
A full cup cannot accept anything more. Similarly, a person who believes that he cannot learn anything else will stagnate quickly and not move to higher levels. A true sign of a secure, mature individual is someone who sees every opportunity as a chance to learn. Even the teachers have teachers.

COUPLES NEED TO COMMUNICATE''

Image
Couples, either newly married or married to each other for a long time, should understand that they need to communicate. It may sound surprising, but recent studies show that communication issues actually top the list of the most important things that couples hope they had focused on before jumping into marriage. Talk. It is unsafe to assume that a partner knows the others thoughts and needs and vice versa. Ask, and do not assume. Then pay close attention and listen to what is being said. Don't just hear. Acknowledge that what has been said is clearly understood.It goes a long way to avert any brooding problem!

FIND OUT WHAT YOU ARE NOT HERE FOR

Image
A lot of us are more interested in finding out what we are here for. But have you really taken time to find out what you are not here for? Someone once said, "The more you are aware of the things you are not supposed to do, the more you will love to do what you are supposed to do." Below are just a few amongst many of what we are not here for. We are not here to blame; We are not here to cry; We are not here to sleep; We are not here to show off; We are not here to fight; We are not here to be miserable; We are not here to be angry; We are not here to worry; We are not here to oppress the helpless; We are not here to envy and gossip one another; We are not here to live our lives on other people's opinion; We are not here to compete with one another. The list is endless. You are free to add to the list. Have a flourishing week!

THE SELF-CONTROLLED "MAN"

Image
How many people we know who have soured their lives, good friendships and relationships, who have ruined all that is sweet and beautiful by explosive tempers, who have destroyed their poise of character, and made bad blood!  It is a question of whether the great majority of people do not ruin their lives and mar their happiness by lack of self-control. Only few people we meet in life are well-balanced and have that exquisite poise which is characteristic of the finished character!  Most times, we don't need to prove any point to anybody, which most times lead to ego and destruction. Only the wise man, only he whose thoughts are controlled and purified  makes the winds and storms of the soul/life obey him! Let's be wise then!

REFLECTION

You create your life. Whatever you sow, you reap! Your thoughts are seeds, and the harvest you reap will depend on the seeds you plant.  Louise Hay says "How you start your day is how you live your day. How you live your day is how you live your life."

WORD FOR THE DAY

Image
Every person, if he is to have mental health and live successfully, MUST move away from past failures, mistakes and regrets and go forward without letting them be a weight upon him. The art of forgetting is absolutely necessary when it comes to your healing and letting go. Yet, be wise!
