| Time Warp - will it be important in one year
|
---
|
Let's face it we tend to blow things up out of all proportion
|
| Be the first to apologise
|
---
|
You may make someone's day
|
| Be more patient
|
---
|
Or you may become a patient
|
| Let others be right most of the time
|
---
|
Reserve your time for when it is really important
|
| Let others speak first
|
---
|
God gave you one mouth and two ears
|
| Live in the present moment
|
---
|
The past decided where you are now and the future will be decided by what you do now
|
| Give the glory to others
|
---
|
They will work all the harder for you
|
| Make peace with imperfection
|
---
|
So long as it is sufficient for what is needed
|
| Realise that life is not fair
|
---
|
It is only a twinkling of an eye compared to eternity
|
| Take time to relax
|
---
|
Otherwise life will trample right over you
|
| Learn the art of saying 'NO'
|
---
|
Interspersed with the occasional 'yes' like when someone offers you a chocolate, provided you are not on a diet
|
| Write a letter each week to someone you appreciate
|
---
|
You may get some in return
|
| Life is not an emergency
|
---
|
Get out of the fast lane
|
| DO as soon as possible "now" whatever you can
|
---
|
Get back into the fast lane - but it does prevent emergency
|
| Thank someone every day
|
---
|
Especially Him above, and who you love.
|
| Take quiet time, Reflection
|
---
|
Step out of the turmoil of everyday life
|
| Understand others. Before being understood
|
---
|
Paraphrase
|
| Become a good listener, seek not to speak
|
---
|
Empty vessels make the most sound
|
| Life is only a test, do your best
|
---
|
It's only the final exam at the end that matters
|
| Praise and blame are all the same, don't be overly worried with disapproval
|
---
|
They both come from doing something
|
| Practice random acts of kindness and senseless acts of beauty
|
---
|
|
| Choose your battles wisely
|
---
|
Or you may become the victim of your foes
|
| Look beyond behaviour
|
---
|
It's only a mask
|
| Be kind rather than right
|
----
|
Charity is the greatest gift
|
| Practice humility for inner peace
|
---
|
'The Glory be unto Thee'
|
| Go the extra mile
|
---
|
The walk will do you good
|
| Beware of criticising others
|
---
|
It has a nasty way of biting back
|
| Problems are opportunities in disguise
|
---
|
And they pop out of all sorts of disguises
|
| Don't react to criticism, agree with it
|
---
|
It takes the wind out of their sails
|
| Look for the merit in others opinions
|
---
|
They may be right
|
| Wherever you go there you are
|
---
|
You can't escape
|
| Breathe before you speak
|
---
|
You may not get another chance
|
| You have a choice in how you respond to life
|
---
|
Turn your melodramas into mellow-dramas
|
| Be happy with the here and now
|
---
|
But you may get what you've got
|
| Whatever you practice most is what you will become
|
---
|
And then some
|
| Maybe so, maybe not
|
---
|
Maybe sometime
|
| Who's to blame? - no one
|
---
|
Who cares!
|
| Listen to your feelings
|
---
|
Before they yell at you
|
| If someone throws you the ball, you don't have to catch it
|
---
|
But it might be advisable to step out of the way
|
| Life is like a game of golf
|
---
|
As soon as you are out of one hole you head straight to the next
|
| Shoo bad thoughts away
|
---
|
And get on with your day
|
| Trust more in your intuition
|
---
|
It is probably right
|
| Mind your own business, things you can control
|
---
|
Keep busy in your own nest
|
| Schedule time for your personal growth first
|
---
|
Or you become a slave to everyone else's demands
|
