Dont Be a Prisoner of Your Past

Wednesday, July 1st, 2009

Yes, we are products of our past…

But….

WE DONT HAVE TO BE PRISONERS OF IT!!

As a child I watched my mom (Who I Love sooooo  much)

get beat and try to make excuses for this boy who thought he was tough…

And for years I let that run my life…

I became a prisoner of my own past and it took me almost 17+ years to see it~!!!

Looking back at your life I’d bet there is something that happened to you that you keep thinking about

(I wrote on this issue before Remember..Dont Drink The Poison )

Sitting Back and thinking about your past can change your life and it wont be for the better

Now I’m not just talking about negative feelings

Dont live in your past..AT ALL!!!

If you continue to look back at how your were in high school even though it might be positive it will bring negative thoughts about the present..Which leads to More Poison!!!

ONE LESSON FROM THIS…

FORGET THE PAST, YOUR FUTURE IS CREATED BY THIS MOMENT…SO LIVE FOR THE MOMENT

STAY BOOSTED

Why God Allows Pain and Suffering

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009

UNKNOWN AUTHOR BUT A MUST READ!!!!

This is one of the best explanations of why God allows pain and suffering that I have seen. It’s an explanation other people will understand.
A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed. As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation.

They talked about so many things and various subjects.

When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said: “I don’t believe that God exists.”

“Why do you say that?” asked the customer.

“Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn’t exist. Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people? Would there be abandoned children? If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain. I can’t imagine a loving God who would allow all of these things.”

The customer thought for a moment, but didn’t respond because he didn’t want to start an argument. The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop. Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. He looked dirty and unkempt.

The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and he said to the barber: “You know what? Barbers do not exist.”

“How can you say that?” asked the surprised barber. “I am here, and I am a barber. And I just worked on you!”

“No!” the customer exclaimed. “Barbers don’t exist because if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside.”

“Ah, but barbers DO exist! What happens is, people do not come to me.”

“Exactly!”- affirmed the customer. “That’s the point! God, too, DOES exist! What happens, is, people don’t go to Him and do not look for Him. That’s why there’s so much pain and suffering in the world.”

Hope you can use this to open your mind for more growth!!

To your success
