James W. Inspirational Thoughts

Randomly we will come up with a thought, marinate on it, wondering what, when, why, or how we should handle that thought? Other times we will blow it off as if that thought never occurred, eliminating any possibilities of that thought coming into fruition. And that can be a good thing, pending on the extremities of that thought. On the other hand, it would be wise to re-evaluate those subtle thoughts that carry great significance. You know those thoughts, the ones that require a little more attention than the norm that we otherwise are passive about? It's THOSE thoughts that require our undivided attention.

We've all gone through rough patches in life, with some being worse than others. Now in saying that, we must also (always) be mindful and respectful of those whom have gone through worse. Sometimes we tend to take the little things in life for granted, feeling that just because we haven't heard from the people we love the most, that the love we feel for them isn't mutual in return. That's not necessarily the case in all cases, nor is that the way life is designed. Understand, life is not all about YOU, and the life of others do not revolve around yours. You never know what a person is going through until they reveal it to you, and until they do, we should always remain positive, keep a clear conscious, cleanse your spirit of negative thoughts, and be prayerful of the people you love the most are doing fine.

If you're currently still worrying about something that happened last week, the problem isn't the problem, the problem is YOU. If you're currently still worrying about something that happened 2 days ago, the problem isn't the problem, the problem is YOU. How can you see what's in front of you if you're always looking back?

Why do many people unconsciously/consciously gauge people's best against our own best? Do you honestly think that's fair to them? God DID NOT create us all equal in that we're capable of the same output in life, therefore you cannot expect or measure someone else's efforts based on yours. Please understand, in certain situations, your maximum output may be half of what someone else can put out, so to say someone isn't putting forth there best, is basically raising the bar of expectations based on YOUR expectations, and who are you to judge? Also keep in mind, our maturation level varies from person to person, further validating the fact that God did not create us all equally, only that he treats us equally.

Why is it more and more relationships are failing at an alarming rate? Could it be that not everybody is equipped to maintain and sustain a relationship? Or could it be that not everybody were meant to have a relationship? As odd as that may seem, these possibilities exist. Not every man knows how to treat a woman, and not every woman knows how to treat a man. Relationships are about give and take, understanding that not everything is going to be perfect. So just because two people love each other, doesn't mean that person should succumb to your wrongful thinking. Stop trying to control your mate through your emotions, that's bullying and cowardly of you. Accept a person for who they are, meet them halfway, and understand that you're not always right, and that person is not always wrong.

Have you ever had someone to use your weakness against you? They sit back and study you, and study you, and study you, finding out what makes you tick, only to turn it around and use it against you at there own convenience. In fact, they will in a subtle way, manipulate you, by taking away what they know you enjoy the most, and use it at they see fit. They will often times even agitate you with simple minded behavior, strategically designed to provoke you into saying something they can turn around and use against you. It's those times you must exercise (extreme) patience, remain silent, stay strong, and know that in the end it will only make you stronger and help you develop great character like you've never had before. Because in the end, they can never match wits with you no matter how hard they try to undermine you.
