What I've Learned


1. Fear stops you from achieving or doing anything.

2. Sometimes you just gotta step out on faith and say, "I'm going to try this."

3. There are times in life when failure just isn't an option... but hopefully, not too many.

4. There is no escape. Your life is your life... there is no running from you!

5. Life is often like a card game... you gotta play with the hand you are dealt.

6. It's not women who are tough, it's love!

7. I was watching this sitcom and Ted Danson's character said, "Men face reality, that's why we drink!" and I just cracked-up laughing. It made me wonder if there is some truth to
that!

8. Nobody respects anticipation anymore. We live in a society that wants instant gratification.

9. If you can't laugh at yourself every now and then, you've got no business laughing at anyone else.

10. If you gotta take a loss, don't lose the lesson. There is always one somewhere in all of that!

Peace!

KEEPING THE FAITH: RANDOM PRAYERS "ON THE DOWNLOAD"

DEAR GOD: My heart is heavy with my own failures. I try to excuse them and explain to myself why they occurred, because I want to be free from the feeling that I am unworthy and incapable of being all that I can be. But I find it easier to accept your forgiveness than to forgive myself. When I try to forgive myself, it seems I only remember and re-play my failures in my mind, and a sense of hopelessness floods over me. Help me to know that my past actions are a part of my growing humanity and that even when I fail to live up to what is your will for me, every single moment can be lived anew. Remind me that refusing to forgive myself only keeps me from experiencing that newness. Assure me of the truth that by casting “my sins into the depth of the sea”, you have freed me to discard them myself and live the next moment as if it were my first, for indeed it is. I ask this for the sake of your love. Amen.
