This, below, is the first part of a new monthly series; a collection of ideas received from God and faithfully taken down.
***
Stay close to the middle. Humanity has a way of straying from the path of wise accord. It’s good to remember this, daily, moment by moment.
***
Life has a natural pace. Find it as it makes itself known. This pace is not deceptive. When we slow down we detect it.
***
Do things properly, first time, because shortcuts are the long way around.
***
Wisdom is deciding now, by our actions, what we wish to be reciprocated to us later.
***
Don’t let others force the pace when it rushes things unnecessarily.
***
We lack wisdom by the things of God that don’t even enter our minds because our hearts don’t discern them. The heart is ever close to God or far away; this is either very good or very bad.
***
Pick only those fights that can be won. Getting anxious over unwinnable contests is a waste of time, emotion, and effort, and it’s upsetting for everyone, barring the enemy.
***
We learn once, or we learn again and again. The best thing is it’s our choice.
***
Make this moment work now; there’s no winding the clock back—the inevitable human curse; the clock cannot be wound back!
***
What’s the hurry? The world doesn’t change that quickly. Control the imagination.
***
What point is there in enabling negative behaviours in others? Why be just as much to blame?
***
Hard work outsmarts talent.
***
Pray daily; more if the need prevails. Prayer is the only way to ask for God’s help.
***
Making a contribution means adding value every step... that opportunity abounds, today.
***
Don’t make comparisons or you will always be ahead or behind. Winning and losing are both lies. Prefer truth—compare self with God. That is sure to redeem thoughts for humility.
***
Find moments for reflection. The best of the personal life is found in such moments.
***
Truth or lies—it’s a momentary choice.
***
Look around you for what might actually be seen.
***
Extending respect allows opportunities and freedom for such love to be returned.
***
Peace is secured when we think at depth about others’ lives—and that aloneness engenders humility which, in turn, promotes learning.
***
Our biggest problems emanate from the things we hold onto. We can let go of these any time; God has promised to help us. Letting go is a universal and constant human need. There is no shame in it; only liberation of spirit. Claim freedom: let go.
***
Want improvement? Make a list; get in queue.
***
Add to the vision of any of your goals that you plan to still be alive ten years from now—the work done now is worth it.
***
Starting, however daunting, is always better than ending—as birth is better than death. But death is also the birth into life eternal. Don’t be afraid of starting things.
