KEEP YOUR PEACE!



Anger is not a virtue, it is a vice and should not be kept within. It is a felling that happens in an instant and it should be released from your being in that same instant. In reality, this is not the case. We hold on to the negative energies that make us worse each day. We worry, complain, get upset, hate, and the list continues.

Each time we welcome these energies, we increase our risk of being sick and stressed out. I used to get upset for the simplest thing but it never hurt the person who I was upset with, it only hurt me and THAT MADE ME EVEN MORE ANGRY!!! There is no person in this world who has not been angry or who will never feel upset at some point of their lives but the difference with some persons is that they make different choices. The choices that we make in each moment of our lives will not only affect our present but affect our future.

When you are angry, in that moment, what do you do? Do you...
1. shout and argue so that everyone in the room hears your pain?
2. wish bad things on the person who made you upset?
3. stop talking to the person for days, weeks, months?
4. do something spiteful to get back at that person?

Whatever it is, how do you feel afterwards? Does it give you relief when the person avoids you for good or does it make you feel worse? The truth is, sometimes the person was not intentionally trying to make you mad. Maybe it was an opinion you asked for and the person gave you his/her honest opinion ("which you asked for"). It could even be an action that the person did without "you" in mind.
OR
The act could be intentional! What a bad friend huh?

It is not about what you are given but it is how you react and what you choose to take. Happiness cannot dwell in bitterness, they do not mix. Bittersweet is not a nice flavour.

Instead, whenever you get upset, channel your energies in other ways. It is not easy to do but each singular act will cause life to get easier and anger will be something you can rid yourself of as soon as it hits you. This will make you a calmer person.

You can channel your energy in a positive way when you...
1. Pray (Good things, GOD DOESN'T HAVE TIME FOR FOOLISHNESS)
2. Read a book
3. Exercise
4. Listen to music (NOT THE ANGRY TYPE. MUSIC THAT MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD)
5. Watch Television
6. Get some work done
7. Write in your journal or just talk to a friend you haven't seen in a while.

Recompense no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. (Romans 12:17)

BE NOT OVERCOME WITH EVIL BUT OVERCOME EVIL WITH GOOD (Romans 12:21)

Be blessed and live a fulfilling life,

Joan.

WHO DO YOU PUT YOUR TRUST IN?

I have always thought about the reasons why we hold ourselves back from our purpose. Why is it we block our destiny even when we know what is ahead? This time, we look in the mirror at a fearfully and wonderfully made gift and talk ourselves out of dreams, visions and purpose.  These reasons are locked in our trust. Who do we trust? Have you ever stopped to ask yourself? Really, in whom do I put my trust. But remember.....Be Honest with yourself! The way we talk to people, treat people, the way we act, the way we think can all be lined up with who we trust and our priorities. Here are some things that trouble us, whether it is one, a few or all of these... Self Esteem I remember always comparing myself with great people which propels me to work extremely hard but this can be both a blessing and a curse.  The good side: We become better as we see our role models as a future reflection of ourselves. So we strive and grind as they did. The bad side:   We starve...

MAN A PLAN, GOD A LAUGH!!!

"OMG!!!! My day was horrible! Nothing that I planned was done. Something always came up!" Do you ever have a day like this? You are extremely upset at the way your day went or should I say THE day because you never owned it! Why does this happen? You plan to go to the store, your brother calls you to help him out with an urgent situation. You plan to go to the beach after bringing home a family member but the family member becomes ill and you need to stay a little longer. WHAT IS UP WITH THAT??? Maybe there was something that God was trying to keep you from, had you gone to your planned destination. Maybe you would have hated the experience more than these unexpected happenings which detoured your plans. Instead of quarrelling about how bad your day goes, be grateful! DARE: I dare you to welcome unexpected changes, just say: "Lord, I trust you because you alone know what's right for me and you alone can take care of me and my situation better than I can". ...
