·        What is a pleasure for you? I’ve talked about making time for yourself like sitting on a porch doing something you enjoy but have you thought about all things that give you pleasure? What are some of those things make a list of these things and start to do more of these things. We stress ourselves out and then are amazed that we say we are unhappy. Spend some time doing the things you enjoy. Happy moments bring more happy moments. In times past I’ve wondered why I enjoyed something that seemed at the time so silly when it seemed to not matter in the long run. Well it does matter and it matters for at least one reason you want to do it. Isn’t that reason enough?

Set goals it helps you move in the right direction toward a specific end. I like making little mini goals for my day to check off as I go through. It lets me know I’m getting something done and I can look back on those things and see I’m making accomplishments.

·        Head off trouble as soon as you can. The bible talks about agreeing with your adversary quickly.  Repenting quickly and fleeing from the appearance of evil.  If you see something not right take the time to try to make it right. Have a talk with someone try to let them know if it was an offence that you didn’t mean it like that. It always amazes me as people we want to put off the thing that would do us the most good. If it needs to be done do it. People stop talking all together or for years sometimes because of this. Just saying your sorry sometimes goes a long way. 

Refusing to talk bad about someone but focusing on the things they do right.  Sometimes there is a time to speak up for yourself other times you just let people keep talking and doing what you suppose to be doing. Doing the right things long term pays dividends. Doing the wrong things sometimes pays in stitches. Speak life about people.
