864 STRONG – HARD.FAST.BRUTAL

Jesus said to the people who believed in him, “You are TRULY my disciples if you REMAIN faithful to my teachings. And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
-John 8:31-32

“I am no longer anxious about anything, as I realize the Lord is able to carry out His will, and His will is mine. It makes no matter where He places me, or how. That is rather for Him to consider than for me; for in the easiest positions He must give me His grace, and in the most difficult, His grace is sufficient.”
Hudson Taylor

One of our primary purposes in this life is to help others. And if you can’t help them, at least don’t hurt them.

Remember that Please, Thank You and I’m Sorry are still magic words. What happened to Yes Ma’am, No Ma’am” and Yes Sir, No Sir?

Don’t be a drama magnet. Drama does not just walk into your life. Either you create it, invite it, or associate with it. Don’t complain about it if you are the one driving the drama bus. Get off the bus at the next stop.

The better you feel about yourself, the less you feel the need to show off. Be yourself. Be Happy.

Definition of Challenge: Demanding, testing one’s determination, willpower, abilities, skills and resources. A call to fight, as a battle.

Entitlement is a delusion built on self-centeredness and laziness. Nobody ever said that life was fair. Deal with it! Don’t compare your life to other peoples life. Live your own. Keep Calm and Mind Your Own Business…

The happiest people don’t have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything. Thankful. Grateful. Blessed.
