Accept what is in front of you without wanting the situation
to be other than it is. Study the natural order of things and work with it rather than against it, for to try to change what is only sets up resistance. Nature provides for all without discrimination. Therefore let us present the same face to everyone and treat all people as equals, however they may behave. If we watch carefully, we will see that work proceeds more quickly and easily if we stop ‘trying’, if we stop putting in so much extra effort, if we stop looking for results. In the clarity of a still and open mind, truth will be reflected. We will come to appreciate the original meaning of the word “understand”, which means to “stand under.” You serve an amazing God who is always standing with you. Keep the focus on who you are and who you serve, a mighty God. Therefore is you are disturbed about anything, it begins and ends with you. Accept whatever it is, pray for the correct choice and take action. Remember to leave the RESULTS to the one who has all power, God.
Are you in love or in lust with someone?
After you get past the dating and infatuation stages of a relationship, you’ll discover that falling in love is really falling into reality. Both parties become aware of their mate’s flaws, pet peeves, habits and emotional swings. If a man becomes angry, stressed or provoked, he can become physical, violent or explosive. Men are socialized to attack, defend, protect and provide. If a woman becomes angry, stressed or provoked, she may fight back with words. Women are socialized early in their verbal and communication skills. Sometimes her words can be stinging and a strong weapon to defend, protect and attack. Both parties should be aware of each other’s boundaries and limitations to prevent any harmful and negative confrontations. It takes two to tangle. If you find yourself in a power struggle always trying to get the last word or to control the other, it is time to re-evaluate the relationship. Falling into reality in a relationship means you will have to learn how to communicate in a way that builds bridges vs. building walls.
Habits can be a two edged sword. Some can be good for you, and some can be bad. Which habits would you like to get rid of? It’s very easy. Simply replace the bad with the good. Bad habits use the same amount of energy as good habits, so you may as well have good habits. For example, instead of sitting around all night watching TV on the lounge, get up and do something productive or creative, help someone by giving of your time, your knowledge, your love. Make being productive with your time your habit. Instead of watching useless news programs, read an inspirational book write an inspirational poem. You can do much to change your negative habits it’s just a matter of recognizing them and replacing them with positive ones. You must also start to take positive action. Change one thing at a time. Don’t try to do everything in one go. You cannot succeed like this. You must tilt the scale slowly otherwise you will miss the mark. But above all else, Just Do It!
