Redirected to Better
Looking back through the years, you will find that the times you THOUGHT you were losing something good, you were really being REDIRECTED to something better if you belong to God!! Thank You God for redirecting me from my foolish decisions, wrong choices, and bad relationships. Thank You God, that when I was holding on to something that looked good and even might have been good for somebody else, that you loved me enough to say “Trust me…I have something better…open your hand and give me the good so I can give you the best!”. Anybody been there, done that?! Maybe you’re there right now…years of wisdom has taught me to give you this advice…open your hand!!
Be Happy
Do you want to be right or do you want to be happy? Always getting the last word, always telling someone you were right is downright irritating to the one you’re talking to. So as a wise ol’ white haired lady always says: “It’s better to be happy and keep your mouth shut”. The rest of the world will appreciate me for telling you that.
Try Again
In life, it’s not whether you get knocked down because that’s bound to happen. The important part is whether you get up! You can do anything! It’s your brain you have to convince. Don’t let a failure get you down. Michael Jordan missed more than 9000 shots in his career and lost almost 300 games. 26 times he was trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. He said this: “I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” So pick yourself up and try again.
Step, Ask, Go and Move!
If you don’t STEP forward, you’ll always be in the same place. If you don’t ASK, the answer will always be no. If you don’t GO after what you want, you’ll never have it. So basically it’s time to MOVE!! Got that?
Don’t Wait, Be Proud
Don’t wait until you’ve reached your goal to be proud of yourself. Be proud of every step you take toward reaching that goal. Goals can be something small or large. But every time you make a decision to step in that direction, be proud of YOU!
Impact
I want you to think of a special person who has impacted your life and then read the following: “When you remember me, it means you have carried something of who I am with you, that I have left some mark of who I am on who you are. It means that you can summon me back to your mind even though countless years and miles may stand between us. It means that if and when we meet again, you will know me. It means that even after I die, you can still see my face and hear my voice and speak to me in your heart”.
