Trust

I recently learned a hard lesson about trust. It's important to have a support system in life. A support system is family and friends who truly love you.

If you betray a member of your support system with a heartless act the whole system will fall apart. You don't want this to happen so my lesson is:

If someone trusts you be trust worthy.

Values

When you know the prioritization of your values your actions will line up accordingly. I think about that in my business and it guides my diligence and dedication to my clients. Personally, I place a very high value on my relationships and take no one for granted. No one has to be kind to me or do anything for me so I value those who do. My responsive action is to reciprocate the kindness. So I've learned to let me actions reflect the value I place on all of my relationships.

Battles

Think about this:

I have asked myself why I have recurring similar adversities in my life. It seems like the same problems or obstacles are in my path. I now know that these may be the same battles, sometimes with disguises, but each outcome can be different. Sometimes we have to fight the same battles over and over again to win the war. It seems repetitive, but, think about it, we learn something from each battle. When we fight the same battle we sharpen our tools, perfect our strategy and increase our strength.

Pre-Christmas Thoughts

We are two weeks away from Christmas and many people are stressed trying to get the right toy or gift for their loved one. I've learned not to get caught up in that unnecessary stress. The Christmas season is about miracles, love, caring, sharing and hope. I find good health for my loved ones and me as a top priority right now. Just to be able to enjoy the company of my family at Christmas time is good enough for me.

As a Caregiver, I ask God to give me strength and keep me standing because if I go down my house will fall. These thoughts have crossed my mind these past few days as I battle a bad cold.

So realize what's up and don't stress about things that aren't important. I'd rather have good health any day, even Christmas Day.
