864 STRONG – Gunny’s Blog / Wednesday 01.11.2023

864 STRONG – You Matter! The people around you today matter. 

You have sown much, and harvested little. You eat, but you never have enough; you drink, but you never have your fill. You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm. And he who earns wages does so to put them into a bag with holes. “Thus says the Lord of hosts: Consider your ways.
-Haggai 1:6-7

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. Don’t blame it on others.

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

Social Media tip of the day: Ask yourself “WHY” am I about to post this? Count to 30 and then ask yourself the same question again. What was the answer? Have the wisdom to show restraint. –Proverbs 23:4

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.

BE STRONG. BE LEGIT. BE PREPARED.
