James W. Inspirational Thoughts

 You can't fail in life if your not trying. The fear of failure does not have an infrastructure designed for success. You can't win in life if your not trying. The inevitables of life cannot be avoided, nor can you run from it. Fear itself will only hold you back from the joys of what life has to offer, because it's nothing to be gained in life through fear. For example, if you have a fear for driving because you don't want to kill yourself behind the wheel, you can still be killed with someone else behind the wheel. In other words, you can't escape death, it's unavoidable. So if fear is the premise of your thinking, you'll never enjoy the fruits that life has to offer, and the only thing waiting for you at the end of the rainbow is death itself, nothing more. 

 Are you growing, or are you standing still? If your thought process is the same now as it was in previous years, your standing still. If you've evolved from the person you once were, you've grown in maturity as a person. Far to often, many people seem to feel that old thinking is the correct thinking, refusing to accept correction, which is foolish. A person that refuses correction, is a fool at heart that's destined to perish sooner than later. Humility breeds longevity in life.

 In life, if you do something that has the potential of going wrong, it's not an accident. Far to often, people will define an accident as something that wasn't intentional, (after) it's intention didn't go according to plan. If you know your taking a risk, be willing to accept the consequences for those risk. Don't twist it and turn it into something it's not, based on your own irresponsibility.

 One of the biggest problems with having a great heart, is that you enjoy pleasing someone that doesn't share the same feelings in return. They'll even play naive and not acknowledge you in your presence, reminding you that you mean nothing to them until they need you "again". 

 Most people seem to think intellect defines a great person. That's absolutely untrue, because it doesn't matter how much intellect and education you have, it still doesn't make you a great person. It's character that defines a great person, nothing more.

 Have you ever came across a person that proclaims to never make mistakes? If so, that's not a person you want to get involved with. Why? Because a person that doesn't make mistakes, is a person that's not open to new ideas.

  If you have someone that's close to you, whether that be your spouse, girlfriend/boyfriend, family member, sorority/fraternity member etc, and you confide in them over anybody else in life, your priorities in life are totally backwards. Confiding in the Lord will always be your best option in life no matter the circumstances surrounding your relationships. The Lord will never judge you, he never has an attitude, he doesn't gossip, his love is unconditional, he's always there when you need him, and he'll never leave you swinging in the wind. Heck those same people you confide in, can transform themselves into a soliloquy, and pretend you don't even exist at the most opportune time. Never put all your eggs in one basket and think it can't happen to you.

  Have you ever had someone attempt to explain something to you, only to come away even more confused? Try asking that same person to explain something to a 7 year old child, that will tell you everything you need to know about that person. In other words, if they are incapable of explaining themselves to a 7 year old child, the person explaining it doesn't understand it themselves.

  Compatibility isn't always defined by the things you have in common with a person. It can also consist of souls that intertwine with each other, blending naturally without any words needed to be spoken. Like Comment Share

  Why do some people feel falling in love with someone you don't know is wrong? We have absolutely no control over our feelings, nor can it be programmed. Falling in love with someone is not defined by your acquaintance with that person. Love does not have a definitive role in life, it never has, and if it did, we would all be lonely creatures searching for something that doesn't exist. This is why it's very important to keep those deep dark secrets to yourself, knowing that you have something to fall back on when your lying in bed simmering in thought.
