It’s a Contest!

Jennifred Jones

Who will you let win?

We really can control the outcome!

We don’t have to allow another’s bad choice to to cause us to make bad choices.

We are only responsible for ours. Let them be responsible for theirs.

They hate, we maintain love.

They control, we keep our peace.

They yell, we keep a calm voice.

They destroy, we build up.

They pull back, we lean in.

They accuse, we bless.

They speak lies, we speak truth.

They divide, we multiply.

… and really, these voices are not just those of others; we hear them shouting in our own heads. Are we going to let them in….let them win?

Steer yourself the direction you want to go.

Stay on the path.

Become Ye Thankful

Jennifred Jones

Every single day become thankful for something.

Big or small, large or insignificant….there is stuff in everyone’s life and work to be thankful for.

Sometimes it’s buried under layers of care, concern, fear, and plain old bad circumstances. These anchor us down, sap our energy and deplete our strength. …steal our joy and peace of mind.

Thoughts might say…. ‘stay concerned’ or ‘stay serious’….but too much of that is not good for us.

When you start to feel heavy and pressed down with cares, make yourself think of one good thing….and say thank you.

See the better person you are becoming.

Thanking is an automatic stress reliever, it will change your outlook on life, you will be more helpful to others.

Thanking gets our thinking off ourselves.

What is one ‘thankful think’ I can do today?

I will have two ‘thankful thinks’ tomorrow.
