This lady went to her pastor, and she said... Pastor, I won't be attending church anymore. He said, may I ask why... She said I see people on their cell phones during service, some are gossiping, some just ain't living right, they are all just hypocrites... The pastor got silent, and he said, OK... But can I ask you to do something for me before you make your final decision... She said, what's that... He said, take a glass of water and walk around the church 2 times and Don’t let any water fall out the glass. She said, yes I can do that... She came back and said it's done... He asked her 3 questions. 1. Did you see anybody on their phone? 2. Did you see anybody gossiping? 3. Was anybody living wrong? She said I didn't see anything... I was too focused on this glass so the water wouldn't fall.... He told her, when you come to church, you should be just that focused on Jesus so that you won't fall!!! The moral of the story... When you are focused on

"No one has ever become poor by giving." ~  Anne Frank " The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away your gift. "   ~ Pablo Picasso "You get the best out of others when you give the best of yourself."  ~ Harvey Firestone "Whatever you think people are withholding from you--praise, appreciation, assistance, loving care, and so on--give it to them."  ~ Eckhart Tolle " We make a living by what we get, but We make a life by what we give."  ~ Winston Churchill

Breakups, getting fired, financial worries, legal troubles … the possibilities of what can go wrong and interrupt our peace and joy are endless. However, it happens to everyone, so finding tools to deal with these unavoidable obstacles is essential. Of course the complexity of the situation differs with the gravity of the facts and the perception we have of them, but no matter how unbearable things may seem, we should not let our frustration and despair prevent us from doing all we can to get through these problematic times and come out better on the other side. The principle of division is one of these mechanisms that can enable us to get through difficult times, due to its objective and concrete basis. Basically, it’s up to us to honestly evaluate the situation and to “block off” the areas of our life actually affected by our passing troubles. Going through difficult times does not mean that our entire lives and personality must be ravaged. Even though falling into a

We tend to judge ourselves and judge ourselves badly. In our inner dialogue, this voice that speaks to us sometimes says: "I am worthless, I am incapable, I’m not as good as others, etc." More times than not, negative judgments are what occur. These dialogues with ourselves are very harmful, because if we have an inner voice, we also have an inner ear. We are both transmitters and receivers, which amplifies the influence of these thoughts. These judgments are therefore heard by ourselves, which helps to anchor these negative beliefs even more. And what is extremely toxic is self-judgment. When I say to myself "I'm worthless", I put myself in prison and am not coming out. This label I stick on myself is very difficult to get rid of. How to judge oneself? This does not mean, however, that we are forced to judge ourselves positively. Because self-judging in a positive way is equally as unproductive as its counterpart. If you think, "I am the best,&

When speaking about generosity, what first comes to mind? For many, generosity is measured by a price tag, but this shouldn’t be the case. Not having monetary means should not equal a lack of generosity, there are other, much more meaningful, ways to give.   Knowing how to listen is generous... Taking time to listen, to give time and to devote attention to a person is an act of generosity. When listening to this person, you should always be one hundred percent with them, forgetting yourself for a moment and giving all the attention you have to give. What’s more generous than showing those around us that we are dependable and available—in short that we are there because we care. By listening to someone, you gain a sense of purpose, as you are doing something good for someone. And what’s more rewarding than knowing we’ve done the right thing and are someone who takes care of his friends! Immediate gratification on your side and appreciation on the receiving side are the results

Life can be seen with realism, optimism or pessimism. Research shows that most people, have a tendency to be either upbeat or pessimistic. Research also shows that optimism is linked to better performance, less stress, better health and longevity. Even if you’re born with the negative inclinations, it is possible to train yourself to practive the optimistic view to some extent. Optimism and pessimism rely on different thinking styles to explain the events of life, such as successes and failures. These thought styles are also closely related to self-confidence and self-esteem. Optimistic thinking : Optimists explain positive events as having occurred because of them (an internal cause). They see these events as indications that they are able to ensure that other positive things happen in the future and in other areas of their lives. Their self-confidence is enhanced by positive events. Conversely, they tend to see negative events as not their fault (external cause). They
