Focus on the Lesson

Focus on the Lesson

Author Unknown

I have a friend who every time
I had a problem, dilemma or minor crisis would say - -
"Focus on the lesson.
Ask yourself what am I
being shown here"

Every person in this life
has something to teach me --
and as soon as I accept that,
I open myself to truly listening

For everyone that makes you cry,
there are three to make you smile,
And a smile will last a long, long time,
but a tear for just a little while.

Don't let someone who hates the world
cause you to hate it too,
Behind the clouds is a Golden sun,
and a sky that's full of Blue.

If someone said a thing that's cruel,
don't let it get to you.
Your achievements are greatly numbered,
and your faults are very few.

So if a certain person should act a certain way,
Think of those who Love You,
And don't let it spoil your day!
Reach high, for stars lie hidden in your soul.
Dream deep, for every dream precedes the goal.

What Men wants From A Woman

Whether it's what they want from a woman, or from a relationship, the movies, media and our girlfriends give us mixed messages that leave daters confused, frustrated and possibly even making tragic dating mistakes that leave them stuck in their romantic rut. Today we'll dispel some common myths in the "Dating with Dignity Guide to What Men Really Want: Three Myths and Three Truths to Stop Wondering Today!"

What's more, contrary to popular belief, men also cannot simply read your mind or guess what you truly want based on your "umphhs, silence, cold shoulder, eye-roll, or door slam." Males and females communicate differently. So when you're in a relationship with a Boyfriend Material man, he's goi...

I've Learned

I've Learned By H. Jackson Brown, Jr. I've learned - that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can be loved. The rest is up to them. I've learned - that no matter how much I care, some people just don't care back. I've learned - that it takes years to build up trust, and only seconds to destroy it. I've learned - that it's not what you have in your life but who you have in your life that counts. I've learned - that you can get by on charm for about fifteen minutes. After that, you'd better know something. I've learned - that you shouldn't compare yourself to the best others can do. I've learned - that you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life. I've learned - that it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be. I've learned - that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them. I...

What is Your worth?

Several years ago, a Pastor was posted to a church in a big town, Some weeks after he arrived, he had an occasion to ride in a bus from his home to the downtown area. When he sat down after paying for the fare, he discovered that the bus-driver had mistakenly given him a little above his change. As he considered what to do, he thought to himself, ''You'd better give the excess back. It would be wrong to keep it.'' Then he thought again, ''Oh, forget it, it's only a quarter. The driver won't worry about this little amount, moreover he makes so much money it won't affect him. Accept it as a 'gift from God' and keep quiet.....It doesn't matter...'' When he got to his bus-stop and was about to alight, he paused shortly at the door, and then he handed the quarter to the driver and said, ''Here, you gave me excess change.'' The driver, with a smile, replied, ''Aren't you the new Pastor in town?'' ...
