Life Is Too Short To Hold A Grudge, Also Too Long.

-
For every minute you are angry, you lose sixty seconds of happiness. Imagine being angry at someone since high school, You never resolved it and you havent moved on. and you havent forgave anybody. How miserable of a life that is? Forgiveness is always the right way to go.If you can't forgive and forget, pick one..It really doesn't matter if the person who hurt you deserves to be forgiven. Forgiveness is a gift you give yourself. You have things to do and you want to move on.. I have a grandson who is 14 yrs old, I havent seen him in a long time. Why? Well his mother decided that since she was angry with my son, we all shall suffer. Keep in mind that this happen while they was fresh out of high school, neither one hadn't had time to live thier lives but there is a baby on the way. But like every other man I know. You havent experience life yet so the first thing a man will do it go out and see what's out there. I know because it happen to me, I had my first child at 17. I had just enough quarter hours(thats what we called it then). 12th grade went to school first quarter had the baby second quarter and came back third quarter and graduated. hmmm My parents was so mad at me, I don't remember how long it took them to start talking to me again. One of the worse times  I think. However we got past that. We grow up and I had to forgive my Sons father, that was the only way I could move on. There's no point in burying a hatchet if you're going to put up a marker on the site..Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future. Really my grandson don't know  me very well. I missed all of his younger years. I really really hate that. He just turn 14 on jan 31. I think we need to rethink how we raise our children. Family is everything no matter what is going on. Life is too short,Grudges are a waste of perfect happiness. laugh when you can, apologize when you should. and let go of the things you cant change love deeply & forgive quickly. take chances & give everything...

    I luv this blog because it is so true. Forgiveness is for yourself and it is so that family is everything. I hope you are able to bond with your grandson soon.

    "There's no sense burying a hatchet if you're going to put up a marker on the site." "Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future." Such wonderful insights! We do create our own heaven or hell right here on earth. Kindness and forgiveness are everything.

The Pursuit of Unhappiness Always Succeeds...

Much unhappiness has come into the world because of things left unsaid..People never say what they really mean, talks in a round about way, I am more and more convinced that our happiness or our unhappiness depends far more on the way we meet the events of life than on the nature of those events themselves..But most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be. Plenty of people miss their share of happiness, not because they never found it, but because they didn't stop to enjoy it..We fall in and out of love through out our lives..some make us happy some make us unhappy. Some people come into our lives, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never ever the same.You can’t dial down feelings and we can’t turn back time. We can hope, even pray, that these intense feelings, desires & passions for that person, will subside if denied. That the ache in the heart will go away, that it will be filled with some other feeling, other than the love & happiness it...

Am I Dreaming? Gods Church or The Devils Chapel...

Where God has his churches, the Devil has his chapels..So it seems I must have been dreaming, Forget about the life you have created for yourself since you were old enough to know what you wanted to do with your life, because 99.9% of the time it's not going as plan. We are taken down this dark road of "Why am I here" is this a lesson? should I have gone left? I must have went right to the Devils chapel. We don't know it's the Devils chapel. for the moment we have that selective vision and hearing.but does the devil know he is a devil?..hmmmmmm, or maybe I am dreaming and I am really in Gods church...Wow, I am so overwhelmed, because they both kinda seems alike, God said we will go through trials and tribulations."God never promised that we wouldn’t have challenges. In fact, He said just the opposite. His word says, ‘Be truly glad!...these trials are only to test your faith, to see whether or not it is strong and pure…’ so if your faith remains strong after b...

'If You Don't Have A Dream, How You Gonna Make Your Dream Come True?

How Indeed?..Our visions are, in many ways, our most vital assets. They may frustrate and tantalise us when we realise that we are unlikely ever to turn them into a reality; but they can comfort us enormously if we cling to them in times of adversity.But You know, I have come to believe that some people are as happy as they make up thier minds to be. Everything is always cut and dry. and we know that is not the way life is. I have dreams, I never stop dreaming.There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure. Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning. I have witnessed some folks who just stop dreaming, the older they get they just adopted this "live and let live" No need to dream or want more.It's sad...And for God's sake, never get into the petty habit of measuring your self-worth against other people's net-worth. Every second you spend thinki...
