Never be too quick to judge another person’s situation and never say “That could never happen to me.” The road of life has many twists and turns and sometimes the most unexpected things happen. No one is immune from life’s problems so show empathy for other because you just never know when you might need theirs.

Anecdote of the Week
Blurred Vision
A businessman was highly critical of his competitors’ storefront windows. “Why, they are the dirtiest windows in town,” he claimed. Fellow business people grew tired of the man’s continual criticism and nitpicking comments about the windows. One day over coffee, the businessman carried the subject just too far. Before leaving, a fellow store owner suggested the man get his own windows washed. He followed the advice, and the next day at coffee, he exclaimed, “I can’t believe it. As soon as I washed my windows, my competitor must have cleaned his too. You should see them shine.”
Confucius once declared, “Don’t complain about the snow on your neighbor’s roof when your own doorstep is unclean.”
The moral of the story is don’t focus on the fault of others to the point where you can’t see your own faults.
Stay Positive
No matter how far you seem to be from where you want to be in life, never stop trying and never stop believing that you are going to get there. The seasons are always changing so if you are going through tough times your season of change is coming. Don’t give way to doubt and think positive thoughts. God will not only fill your cup but He will let it overflow with blessings.
Fight the Good fight
Thought for Today
Don’t lose yourself trying to live up to the expectations of others. Never for one moment believe that you have to live by their rules. Don’t buy into that belief that some people are more important than others. We all have a purpose on this earth although we play different roles. The defining point is that we are all ‘mortal man’ subjected to the same rules of nature. From the dust we all came and to the dust one day we will return.
A Thought for Today
Mediocrity is a killer of success. If you are easily satisfied with little you will never achieve much!
A Thought for Today
You may be at a crossroad in your life where your hopes and expectations still seem a far way from being achieved. You may wonder why it is taking you so long, why the journey has been so difficult. The important thing is to keep your eyes on the goal, never lose focus and never give up. (Marva Seaton)
Be Yourself
FIND YOUR OWN VOICE, SEEK YOUR OWN PATH. DON’T BE ANOTHER FOLLOWER MIMICKING WHAT OTHERS DO. JUST BE YOU!
Thought for Today
Life is like a story book intricately woven with many twists and turns. But unlike a storybook it is more complex, more unpredictable. In a storybook you get to know all the characters and you know how the story ends. In life it is unpredictable about who we will encounter and we cannot guarantee how our story will end. The key is to live a life that others can emulate and look up to. When you are gone from this earth let it be said that this person came, lived, showed love and made a difference. (Marva Seaton)
