Let’s pick our thoughts today. You know, the ones that are worth our time and energy! A great man once said that our happiness in life depends upon the quality of our thoughts. I think he may be right!

  Let’s make it a plan to live life to the fullest, love beyond measure and laugh from our toes up. We’ve been given a time released gift that covers 24 hours. What are you going to do with it? One more thing we need to remember: This gift will pass before you know it… and once it’s over, it can never be found again.

  Make sure you don’t start seeing yourself through the eyes of those who don’t value you. There will always be those who don’t see the wonderful person you are….either because they’re jealous, insecure or full of unhappiness themselves. Know your worth even if they don’t. And most of all, hold onto it!

  “Life is like a camera. You focus on what’s important, capture the good times. Develop from the negative and if things don’t work out take another shot!” Great words to live by. Focus on the important and capture the good times…grow stronger through the negative things that come into your life but ALWAYS get back up and take another shot! ALWAYS!

Don’t worry about people who talk about you behind your back. That’s why they’re behind you and not ahead. God knows the truth about who you are. And He also knows the heart of the one who is coming against you. So what do you do when people keep talking? The Bible says to pray for them! Let God continue to move you forward in your walk with Him…and let those people keep talking. They have no power to make you feel bad unless you let them.

  This should be a LOVE post since this is Valentine’s day…but it’s a different kind of LOVE post. This is about loving yourself…the person God created you to be with all your faults and failures and quirks and wonderfulness. You were born to be an original. So, for Heaven’s sake, don’t die a copy. There’s nothing more beautiful than someone who realizes how great their uniqueness really is and then runs with it. God took great care in creating you with all your talents and one of a kind-ness! So LOVE you today…then you can love others that pass through your life.
