YOU and YOUR Human Spirit
YOUR human spirit comes, again, from your yesterdays,
your family, your understanding, your learning and knowledge,
your developing into the person you are today BUT:
YOU have to keep developing, growing, learning and going
beyond where you are today.
YOU have to outgrow this SELF you are today.
I will give you a story that will make you see that you need to
outgrow where you are today.
My sister, I use her because I have learned a lot from her life
experiences on what I do not want to say at the end of my life.
So anyway, she was an alcoholic and did get sober 30 years
before
she died, but she mentally never developed beyond that getting
sober years because she accepted that she was sober and so
never went beyond that. So that was why she had tremendous
regret at the end of her life.
She went to a psychiatrist for 30 years but yet never developed.
If YOU or I go to group, therapy for over 3 years – please move
beyond that group or therapy because it can become stagnant
She never matured and developed mentally
She never matured and developed spiritually
She never matured and developed body
And since early 1980s I have been maturing and developing on a
daily basis.
I have a MISSION EVERY DAY.
I have a PLAN EVERYDAY
I have GRATITUDE EVERYDAY
I have JOY, HARMONY AND PEACE EVERYDAY
I learned at those early years:
To say and live the Serenity Prayer:
God grant the me the serenity
to accept the things, I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
What that prayers says to me and still speaks to me today is that
I cannot control anyone but myself. Stay out of other people’s
business, and do not try solving problems that are not yours.
Take only care of SELF. Everything else is someone else’s
business.
Live and breath the Serenity Prayer everyday because it will take
all YOUR stress away if you live and breath and believe it.
Acceptance is not laziness
Have courage to change ourselves
Hardship can be good for you
Surrendering requires courage, too
Happiness is attainable
Here are some wonderful quotes from people who have lived
them:
Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.
Arthur Ashe
It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop
Confucius
A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the
Desire to beat others.
Ayn Rand
Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble
But reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be
Successful or happy.
Norman Vincent Peale
I have read Dr. Peale since the 1950 when we had his books in
Our home.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Mark Twain
Accept the challenges so that you can feel the exhilaration of
Victory.
George S. Patton
Another Confucius:
The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full
Potential… these are the keys that will unlock the door to
Personal excellence.
Another one of my favorite people is Wayne Dyer who said:
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
And another one of my favorite people is Bo Jackson, the great
football and baseball sports star and he is living by his words:
Set your goals high, and do not stop until you get there.
I have not had TV for almost 15 years – and do not miss it or want
it again
