Keep trying!



Whatever it is you like to do or have a passion for, then keep at it, keep trying.


Often the difference between a loser and a winner is the fact that one keeps trying and doesn't give up.


It could be a poem we'd like to write / a story / a song / a painting / a dance / a piece of music.


Whatever is our passion and inspiration, we owe it to ourselves to continue to try / to become better at what we do.


Don't give up. Keep trying!

Let the Heart Speak!



People are so vastly different. Some people use words to communicate who they are and words can be powerful, or not.


Others are more inward in their way of communicating. They express with a smile or a touch. Words are minimal, yet meaningful.


Some are guided by their feelings. They know almost instantly when they are liked or not. Equally, they use their feelings as a means of communication.


Perhaps most of us are a mixture of words and expressions and feelings.


It's important to open our hearts to others. There is a deep love inside each one of us. A spiritually-minded person will call this Love, the Presence of God.


So, Let the heart speak!

BE the LIGHT!



We live in a world of beautiful confusion where each individual aims at being their best, yet are different to everybody else.


Of course we can try to fit in and become what we think others want us to be, yet this is not reality.


Reality is found where each person is able and willing to be who they are, regardless of whether they are accepted or not.


God has created each one of us in His image and likeness. A design of Perfection has been engraved on our souls.


How we live up to this amazing gift of life is up to us.


Can I truly be me? Can you truly be you?


When we have the courage to be who we are, then we shine and become a LIGHT for others.

Always be Kind!



To be kind is so rewarding, and essential if we are to develop good relationships with others.


God prompts us all the time to follow our heart and respond with kindness in every situation, no matter what.


So, why is it difficult at times to act / think / speak with kindness?


Perhaps the truth lies in the fact that we have an ego, an opinion of ourselves that gets in the way of loving kindness.


The solution is a simple one, it lies in our desire to care for others / to care enough to follow the truth in all we do.


Then kindness will flourish and we will have loving friends.

Do not judge...




When Christ spoke on earth, He warned us not to judge...



'Judge not and you shall not be judged.'


Simple to say, yet perhaps not so simple to practise.


Our neighbours and friends and family, however good they are, will challenge us. Their values and ways of doing things can be different to us.


We are invited to love, not to find fault. When we make it our business to do this then we will be able to see how beautiful each person is.


Love unites.

TRANSFORMATION



To become transformed / to change ourselves requires diligence and most importantly, a goal-oriented reason for doing so.


Every sane person wants to improve and become better at what they do and who they are.


How we do this depends, firstly on how sane we are and secondly on how brave we are.


It takes courage to be different, to make changes in our lives, to change ourselves.


Transformation will take place when we are centred on what we want and more than willing to pay the price.


Yes, there is always a price to pay for becoming a happier and saner person.


The price is Love.


How we put love into our lives can be different for each person, yet will have the same results.


For the Christian-minded person, LOVE is found in a very simple way, through our belief in the Presence of God.


Remember to tune into God in our lives everyday and without great effort, we will be transformed!
