It’s all about you, you do realize – yes? Always has been, always will be. How you act and react is dependent upon what you believe, what you think, what you feel. And the foundation for this are your experiences and your frame of reference – which shapes you. Are you doomed/blessed to be in this state […]
I recently read a post on facebook (Exceptional Living by Dennisse Lisseth quoting Brave Girls Club) on the question about ‘willing-ness’. As I thought more about the meaning of the word, the more I thought this is a good question to ask. It’s all very well to talk about being transparent or ‘letting the chips fall where
Do those two words define you? Not just describe but really define your life? Does the phrase – stop and smell the roses – totally irritate you? Are you part of the great – I’m too busy – horde? OK… stop for just a moment and look at your life. WHAT are you busy doing?
No, not the pom, pom thing. Perhaps I should have used the word – encourager instead. My point is – do you have someone in your life that’s your cheerleader? A cheerleader, an encourager is someone who is supportive, who pats you on your back when you do something. And the pat on the back doesn’t need
Let’s face it – we all are open to being tempted on some level in some area(s). None of us are impervious to temptation. The issue isn’t the existence of temptation but what do we do when confronted with it. How do we respond to temptation? Do we capitulate and just give in to it, even

Generally speaking (whatever that really means) I do like now thinking and, generally, acting on the ‘now’. Part of my reason is that I know I am/have ‘now’ since I’m in it – I don’t know about later or tomorrow and yesterday is my source for understanding and knowing but now…. now has all the uncertainty
Are you one of those? Are you a perfectionist? In everything? In certain ‘important’ areas only? Do you ever ‘settle’ for less? How much does being a perfectionist control you? And, most importantly, who defines what perfection is for you? Sometimes I think that it isn’t a problem being a perfectionist as much as it
Are you an overcomer? Or… are you in the state of overcoming? There is a promise for us if we contend to overcome. (Revelations 21:7) “He who overcomes shall inherit all things and I will be his God and he shall be My son.” Now that is a promise worth contending for! But… if the
