James W. Inspirational Thoughts

Why do some people deem constructive criticism as that of negativity? Notice, some people when being corrected, will not only become offended, but will allow themselves to be consumed with pride to the point of anger. How silly is that? Others will interpret constructive criticism as that of an attempt of character assassination. Once these instances occur, simply step back, remain silent, apologize once permitted, and refrain from offering knowledge in the coming future. You'll save yourself unwarranted frustrations and aggravation.

If your future plans consist of doing something against your beliefs, (don't do it). If your future plans consist of doing something you'll probably regret,(don't do it). If your future plans consist of doing something you KNOW is wrong, (don't do it). Never go against the grain just to shake things up because your bored with living life the right way. It's not healthy in trying to live a perfect life, as that goes against God's wishes, but if you live a life of boredom, you're doing a plethora of things right in your life.

If you focus your energy on things that carry no energy, what does that say about you? Exerting energy into things of no substance, is time you've wasted you can't have back in your life. Never allow a person you KNOW brings nothing to the table, to occupy unnecessary space that can be otherwise used constructively some place else.

Sometimes in life we incur problems beyond our control, stressing and worrying, doing everything we can to remove or ease the pain we so desperately want to go away. Well believe it or not, we are in direct control of our stress level no matter the circumstances, no matter the magnitude, no matter the pain its caused. You simply cannot allow things beyond your control to control YOU, that should never happen. Simply because, you not only stand to gain nothing, but its unhealthy, it removes years from your life, and it ages your entire mind body and soul. Now who in there right mind wants that? Anybody with a sane mind wouldn't want that for themselves. And besides, its not as if you don't know better to do better, because you KNOW better, so do better.
