Only One Decision Away

"We are always only one decision away from a totally different life." ~ Quotes
When I read this awhile back it had a profound impact in my thinking. How true this is!
I'm sure we can think of plenty of negative things others, as well as ourselves, have done that are sorry for making that one decision. But there are many positive decisions we've made that have forever changed our lives too.
The Bible says to "Choose Life" (see Deuteronomy 39:19) When we have to make a decision it may be well to remember, "We are always only one decision away from a totally different life."

Mind Over Matter

"Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter. Live your life and forget your age." ~Birthday Quotes~
Since today is my birthday I went over to check out some birthday quotes. I am always forgetting my age! Bill is the same age as I am. When someone asked his age I almost always have a look of disbelief! I've even argued with him about it.
I'm a firm believer of living your life and forgetting your age. Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.
This is the day which the LORD has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24 NASB
Enjoy this day the Lord has made. Live your life and forget your age!

Every New Beginning

"Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end."  ~ Spring Quotes 
Winter is almost over and tomorrow is the first day of Spring. It's time for another season to begin. Yay!
For there to be a new beginning there has to be an end to something else. So much like our lives. We have seasons in our lives as well. Some are cold and dark like winter, but we can look forward to a new beginning like Spring.
Remember. every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end.

Learning To Appreciate

"Sometimes the best way to appreciate something is to be without it." Life Quotes
I don't know about you, but I take many things for granted. When the power goes off I find myself walking into a room and flipping on the light switch without even thinking. Boy, when the power returns I am very happy and I really appreciate it!
Even losing power has a way of teaching us to appreciate more. Sometimes the best way to appreciate something is to be without it.

I'm Still Learning

It's funny how we can go through life and learn something new that many people already knew, but we didn't.
I was well into my 40's when I learned what was behind the 3 leaf clover and St. Patrick. I guess I always thought of St Patrick's Day as a day to get drunk on green beer and eat corn beef.
Finding out that the 3 leaf clover was a tool St Patrick used to teach about the Holy Trinity was an eye opener to me. What an awesome way to explain the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. One leaf with 3 different parts. I love it!
I'm still learning and I hope you are too.

Don't Compare Yourself To Others

"Don't underestimate yourself by comparing yourself to others. It's our differences that make us unique and beautiful." ~ Quotes ~
So many times we see someone who can do something better than we can and we start to compare ourselves to them. It might amaze us to know that there may be people who compare themselves to us too.
We are all unique and it's our differences that make us beautiful. We shouldn't underestimate ourselves by comparing ourselves to others. Just be the beautiful unique person you are.
