What I've Learned


1. Life isn't about "finding" oneself... it's about creating yourself.

2. What somebody else thinks or has to say about me is none of my damn business.

3. If you don't try, you can't fail. But if you don't try, you certainly won't win!

4. Sometimes we make the simple things so complicated.

5. Truth only hurts the person who has lied to him or herself.

6. My life has taught me never invest short and borrow long!

7. A Friendship that can end suddenly, never began in the first place.

8. There were times when I was a little too enthusiastic about speaking my mind and I could have and should have held back just for the sake of someone's feelings.

9. If you're going to do something or say something, you'd better stand by it or you lose my respect right away.

10. God forgives... it's your family and friends who don't.

Peace!

KEEPING THE FAITH: RANDOM PRAYERS "ON THE DOWNLOAD"

DEAR GOD: Sometimes anger seems so near to the surface of my life. An unwelcome word, the remembrance of a past hurt, a disappointment I had not expected can make my emotions swirl with the force of a small cyclone. Sometimes my heart feels hot, my nerves feel edgy, my mind feels like lit dynamite. And sometimes, I just turn silent, go inward, cut myself off from anything and anyone that could ease the throbbing inside. I hold on to my anger, as if to let it go would render the reason for my anger meaningless. I pray that your great love will burn away my anger and leave me settled in the cool breeze of your presence. Help me let go, not only of the anger, but of what made me angry in the first place. Let me breathe deep the wonder and peace of love. Amen.
