Delete, Repeat

Delete what’s not working for you.

Today I wore a shirt that doesn’t look good on me–truthfully I don’t like it, and when I bought it I knew the color didn’t do anything for me, but it was on sale…and I have since paid over and above for it. Twice I have started to give it away, but pulled it back– since it was ‘good’ and I got a bargain.

But I don’t feel my best, most comfortable, confident self when I wear it.

It’s going in the Goodwill bag tonight, I told myself! (along with a few other things in the closet—bought under the same guise!)

Why do I do this to myself? When am I going to learn???

Delete, repeat.

There are some things in our lives, physical, mental, or emotional that are a hindrance to being our best selves. Either they sap our energy, rob our confidence and courage, or just plain waste our space and time!

Enough is enough!!!

It begins today…going through my ‘stuff’ little by little deleting and repeating, until it feels right hanging on to what I have.

Do you need to delete something from your life too?

I’m on a Mission

I am on a mission to bring as much good to this world as I can with the capacities I’ve been enabled.

I want to encourage as many people as possible to see the good things already going on in their lives, already going on in this world of ours and be thankful and commit to uphold and multiply them.

God made us a perfectly good world and He expects us to be good users of it…to take good care of it….to improve it, to make it better.

I think it disturbs the heart of God when we trash what He’s given us, whether it’s our body, our family, our homes and yards or places we go.

We’re in a warfare folks; a warfare with ourselves!

Can we decide we’re going to choose to do good… or do we want to side in with the opposition—looking for troubles, complaining and being unthankful? There are people out there who need us, they need our encouragement, they need our good ideas, they need life, they need freedom, they need compassion, concern and care. They need our help to find their way.

Who are we to hold back what we have from contributing to our world according to our unique and individual giftings?

I think we need to rouse ourselves out of this lethargy and say to ourselves–seek within ourselves–what do I have to bring to the table to help whatever situation I am in….as a people trying to live together in this, our world?

Today, I will do one good deed, think one good thought about myself.

Today, I will do one good deed, think one good thought about someone else.

Today, I will plan for tomorrow to do one good deed, think one good thought…..and then repeat.
