#Truth

It was laid on my heart to write a list of some things we all fail to remember:

  • We are not all alike. Repeat. We are NOT all alike.
  • What works for me might not work for you.
  • No one is right 100% of the time. That means at least sometimes, you are wrong. I am wrong.
  • We are all sinners.
  • We are not to point the finger when we do the same thing (sin) in a different way.
  • We all hurt from something.
  • People will try to show you the best of their life without showing you the worst of their life.
  • We will mistakenly compare the best of their life with the worst of our life.
  • The devil is at work. Always. Working very hard. Against you.
  • The devil will make you believe that what is wrong is actually right.
  • Thoughts lead to words that lead to actions. Control your thoughts.
  • The world isn't always black and white. But sometimes it is. 
  • Some things are more important than others. Prioritize.
  • Some things are more important than others. Spend your money accordingly.
  • Some things are more important than others. Period.
  • Lend a hand when you can, not because you will get something in return.
  • Love... true love, agape love, is an action, not a feeling.
  • Most of what we worry about doesn't actually happen, stop worrying so much.
  • Happiness is an emotion, a very fleeting one. If your goal is happiness, you will never win.
  • "When all else fails, pray" is wrong. Pray first. Before everything. Good and bad.
  • Praying doesn't just mean asking for something. It means thanking, talking, listening.
  • Before you make fun of someone or blame them, consider their life obstacles were not the same as yours. Maybe they actually achieved more than you because they had less to work with.
  • Value your health. Seriously. Value every step, every breath, every moment you open your eyes and speak and listen, every bite you take, every smile you make.
  • It's not about you. Really, it's not.
  • Swallow your pride.
  • Ask for directions.
  • Ask for help.
  • Accept that help.
  • Pay it forward.
  • Don't run a red light, speed, or drink and drive. You are putting someone else's life at risk along with your own.
  • Sleep. 
  • Eat to live don't live to eat.
  • Exercise in whatever way you can, even if it just means stretching every morning.
  • We need people in our life. We also need solitude.
  • God is good, all the time. And all the time, God is Good. - God does not change, we do, make that change a good one and keep your relationship with Him.
