Most of us skip this step because it seems to go against the very thing we are trying to do.
Love others.
Love yourself first or you will never unleash your full potential.

Your optimism kills me
As the microwave timer chimed and the 55-year old added a tablespoon of honey to the cup of plain hot water, the 14-year old asked, “What are you doing?”
The old man said, “A little honey gives the hot water a little flavor.”
Then the 14-year old said to the 55-year old, “Your optimism kills me.”
The old man had always wondered about life, especially mornings, without caffeine. Because for the past 20 years or so, caffeine seemed indispensable.
He’s realized in the past 100 days that caffeine was an unnecessary, and distracting crutch.

When someone dies what do we say?
When someone dies what do we say?
- So sorry.
- Sorry for your loss.
- Praying for you and your family.
What if:
- You were so lucky to have her in your life.
- What a blessing he must have been.
- Treasure the wisdom you gained.
We are all going to die. Maybe the best defense is a good offense:
Live like you mean it.
Death isn’t what we fear. We fear that we waited too long to start living fully in our mundane, routine, daily-grind moments.

Don’t forget your umbrella

The strong and healthy have no need of a physician. In our strenuous and constant efforts to find peace and contentment in God, we may actually drift too far from shore. Stormy weather wakes us up to understand, once again, the danger of being too far away.
Arhg matey, calm weather never made a skilled sailor.

The paradox of truth
Look around.
The paradox of truth is the difference between fact and belief.
Belief is the key, not fact.
There are things that no one can visibly prove, because critical, tangible facts will never be seen.
Show us a picture of God. Impossible.
Yet we can unhesitatingly believe in the impossible, or we can adamantly not believe in these mysteries.
It comes down to the simple choice of believing or not believing.
Show us a picture of faith, hope, and love.
It’s up to us to decide if these are fact or fiction.
