"I lift up my eyes to the mountains— where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth." -Psalm 121:1-2
Here are some simple ways to keep the little things from taking over your life: Ask yourself the question, “Will this matter a year from now?” Is what you are worked up over going to matter a year from now? If not, don’t let it destroy you today.
(1) The less compelled you are to try to prove yourself to others, the easier it is to feel peace inside. Remember that you become what you practice the most. -Practise Humanity!
(2) How do you spend your time? What you do is what you become. Every day, tell at least one person something you like, admire, or appreciate about them. Telling others that you appreciate them takes almost no effort, but pays enormous dividends. -Be Humble!
(3) Every circumstance or problem is not worth the fight. There will always be things and people that don’t do right. -Apply Godly Wisdom!
(4) Life is a test. It is only a test. When you look at life as a test, you begin to see each issue as an opportunity to grow. -View Life in Angles not Corners!
(5) Remind yourself that when you die, your “In Basket” won’t be empty. The purpose of life isn’t necessarily to get it all done, but to do the right things. -Virtue comes first!
(6) Learn to live in the present moment. “Life is what’s happening while we’re busy making other plans.” Think of what you have, instead of what you want. The Apostle Paul taught contentment and not always waiting for some future event to happen. -Be Prophetic not Pathetic!
(7) Understand the statement, “Wherever you go, there you are.” We tend to believe that if we were somewhere else, we’d be happy. Whatever you are, that’s what you’ll be wherever you go. -Take The Vocational Aptitude Test Today!
(8) Become a better listener. Most of us are only adequate listeners, but the best gift you can give someone is to listen. Resist the urge to criticize. When we judge or criticize someone, it says nothing about that person; it merely says something about our own need to be critical. -Be Supernatural Critical!
(9) See the innocence. One of the most frustrating aspects of life is not being able to understand other people’s behavior. We see them as “guilty” instead of “innocent.” But, when you see others as not trying to hurt you, you can relax. -Just Relax!
If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don't have integrity, nothing else matters. ~Alan Simpson
