Accept Your Friend’s Mistakes

Some find it even harder to accept mistakes their friends make than they do their own. Especially when it’s personal, it can feel like inconsideration at least, betrayal at worst.


Take a moment to think about letting go of your own mistakes, mistakes you may have made that upset someone close to you. Were you forgiven, did you want to be forgiven but weren’t? How did it make you feel?


See if you can use those feelings of wanting to make it up to that person and apply them to your friend when they have upset you. We’re all just doing the best from where we are in our lives and sometimes that’s not very good.

 

We all deserve another chance though. Try offering that chance to someone who has upset You.

Learn from your Mistakes?

I read in a book that the phrase “You should learn from your mistakes “  is an incorrect one.
 
They explained that if you keep making mistakes, you will never advance. Yes, you will learn from the ones you made however, you will keep making mistakes and never move forward.
 

Do you agree with this? Do you think you need to make mistakes in order to move forward?

Service

S-eeks to fulfill duty, or do some favors
E-ncouraging others, or you?
R-esponding to a call of the heart- fighting
V-exation of the spirit, if at all it does nothing.
I-s it an outlet of your passions? Or must it be-
C-ompassion working out your will?
E-choing, “It is flying above the self, giving others their wings”.

What is “service” to you?

36 Things You Should Do to Enjoy Life

August 21, 2012 By 2 Comments

 

 

By Alpha Miguel-Sanford

This morning, I got an email from one of my coworkers (thank you MBJ!) and I can not wait to share it with you! Although I may not know exactly who is the original author, I thought sharing it with you is a must!

The email starts off with this introduction:

An Angel says, ‘Never borrow from the future.  If you worry about what may happen tomorrow and it doesn’t happen, you have worried in vain.  Even if it does happen, you have to worry twice.’

 

Now, here are are you should do to enjoy life fully! (Note: I have edited a few words here and there to be more appropriate for AMSDaily post)

1. Pray
2. Go to bed on time.
3. Get up on time so you can start the day unrushed.
4. Say No to projects that won’t fit into your time schedule or that will compromise your mental health.
5. Delegate tasks to capable others.
6. Simplify and de-clutter your life.
7. Less is more. (Although one is often not enough, two are often too many.)
8. Allow extra time to do things and to get to places.
 9. Pace yourself.  Spread out big changes and difficult projects over time; don’t lump the hard things all together.
10. Take one day at a time.
11. Separate worries from concerns.  If a situation is a concern, find out what God would have you do and let go of the anxiety.  If you can’t do anything about a situation, forget it.
12. Live within your budget.
13. Have backups; an extra car key in your wallet, an extra house key buried in the garden, extra stamps, etc.
14. K.M.S. (Keep Mouth Shut).  This single piece of advice can prevent an enormous amount of trouble.
15. Do something for the Kid in You everyday.
 16. Carry an enlightening book with you to read while waiting in line.
17. Get enough rest.
18. Eat right.
19. Get organized so everything has its place.
 20. Listen to a tape while driving that can help improve your quality of life.
21. Write down thoughts and inspirations.
22. Every day, find time to be alone.
23. Having problems?  Talk to God on the spot.  Try to nip small problems in the bud.   Don’t wait until it’s time to go to bed to try and pray. 
24. Make friends with nice people. 
25. Keep a folder of favorite scriptures on hand.
26. Remember that the shortest bridge between despair and hope is often a good “Thank you!”
27. Laugh.
28. Laugh some more!
29. Take your work seriously, but not yourself at all.
30. Develop a forgiving attitude (most people are doing the best they can).
31. Be kind to unkind people (they probably need it the most).
32. Sit on your ego.
33. Talk less; listen more.
34. Slow down.
35. Remind yourself that you are not the general manager of the universe.
36. Every night before bed, think of one thing you’re grateful for that you’ve never been grateful for before.   
 

SHARE this post, if you would like other people in your life to also enjoy their lives fully!

WISHES

August 15, 2012 By 6 Comments

By Buena Laoang

W-e don’t get it, because we don’t think we deserve it.(Nor that someone else)
I-f you really desire something, have the faith
S-uch will be done, will be given unto you.
H-urry it not, worry it not, because everything has a time under heaven
E-mbrace your wish, happily and plain; with enthusiasm speak it to Him, then

S-ay to your heart, “Hush now, for it will be done,” and it will.

 

Whatever it is you wish for, it will come true.
