Today I would like to share with you some things I wish
I’d learned sooner. Today I offer you that
same chance …
Integrity
always matters. Integrity is simply doing
what you promised you would do. It is
telling the
truth and doing the truth. It is doing the right thing
even if no one would know that you did the wrong
thing. Integrity is accepting the blame when you have
made a mistake. Integrity always matters because it
matters to God. Integrity keeps you the kind of person
you want to live with. And that’s important because
you have to live with yourself your entire life.
More money
will not fix everything. Until you know how
to handle a small amount of money well,
lots of money
will only create bigger problems. Remember to never
keep it all (give some away) and never spend it all
(save some for the future). Then you will never be
broke. And above all remember the money
You have belongs to God. He blesses you with
Abundant finances when He knows that you can handle
the blessing He gives to you. Remember those who are faithful with the
small things (blessings), will be able to be faithful the large things (blessings).
He blesses you, as you learn to bless others.
And I promise you that you cannot out give God.
So, remember
do not waste save early, save often.
Use common sense.
There exists in the universe a
simple principle with a big payoff. It is
called
compounding interest. When you save money in a savings
account you earn interest. Then that interest earns
interest or compounds, which makes your money grow
much more rapidly. Start saving money now so it has
many years to compound. That is the no-brainer way to
build wealth.
A sense of humor is a valuable asset. Laugh at
yourself and you’ll never run out of material. Laugh
with others. Some people can’t see the humor in their
situations, so just make sure they are laughing first
or you could hurt their feelings. Laugh often.
Laughter is good for your health because it releases
tension and stress. It can make your life much more
enjoyable.
Love with all you heart, mind, body and soul. Love as it
was your last day on earth.
Praise God with your very being. Let praising God be the
very center of your being.
Forgive. even when you feel you cannot. For forgiveness
will heal you of all you’re hurt, and renew the joy of your salvation.
And something very important, do not judge. For until you
walk in your fellowman's shoes, you do not know what
their circumstances maybe. Remember God is the only one
allowed to judge people, and if you are busy trying to do
His work, you know, things on God's to do list,
then you are not able to do the work He has for you to do.
There’s a
difference between authority and
responsibility. Authority usually refers to
your power
over people. People who crave authority usually lose
it. Responsibility usually refers to your pledge to
people. Those willing to assume responsibility usually
get it. Most people crave authority and avoid
responsibility. You’ve got a great sense of
responsibility. I applaud it. I admire it. Don’t ever
lose it.
A little
encouragement goes a long way. Maybe it’s
only a few words or a small act of
kindness, but that
small effort can really encourage another person. It
might not seem like much to you but it can be
meaningful to that other person. Or parent. Whenever
you encourage others you are showing you have care and
concern for them. Encouragement is something that’s
hard to give away because it always comes back to
bless you.
