Hope

Hope is very powerful. Hope can lighten your heart. Hope can give you strength to fight a battle or complete a task. Hope will help you sleep at night. Hope will catapult you into action.

Having hope does not guarantee things will turn out like you want but you'll feel a whole lot better as you move forward. Hope can help you heal both spiritually and physically. True hope will transform your world.

Always have hope because, again I say, hope is very powerful.

The Flow of Life

As we live our life and changes occur we have to adjust to the flow of our life. You find your stride and make the adjustment. I recently learned that if you are not physically and mentally strong at the time of adjustment it takes longer to adjust. The adjustment may not be what you want it to be, but, it becomes your reality.

So keep yourself strong so you can adjust to the flow of your life as it changes. It will change because everything must change.

Expectations

We all expect to be treated fairly and with kindness as we want to be treated. Sometimes we have to raise our expectations in order for us to receive this level of treatment. If you have a loved one receiving treatment in a medical setting and you get an uneasy feeling due to the lack of action and compassion from those delivering the care don't just accept what they say.

Today medical professionals told my loved one they were releasing him from the hospital and to go home and get his affairs in order. I didn't just accept that but I requested a second opinion. This really shocked them because they expected us to just give up. No way. We now have options and hope. So I know raised expectations yield greater positive results.

Raise your expectations

Life

Live your live as if everything is a blessing. The positive aspects are obvious blessings. The negative aspects are also blessings with lessons.

Live your life by working heartily as you would if God is watching you.

Live your life today because things can change in the blink of an eye.

Today I prayed and maintained my faith in God through a storm. The wave has calmed for now but I know it can change again tomorrow.

Live your life today. Love your life today.

Character

I have learned that your character depicts how successful you are as a person. I want to make sure my character reflects a person of my word and consideration for others. When you have questionable character no one wants to be around you. Your actions will show your character whether you want them to or not. Remember, good character equals good seeds sown and you definitely reap what you sow.
