James W. Inspirational Thoughts

  Just because your way of thinking brought you where you are today, it doesn't mean your thinking shouldn't be altered. Ignorance can shorten your life quicker than you think.

 Without patience you have nothing. Patience is required during every aspect of life, especially with prayer. Life is a process that requires extreme perseverance despite extenuating circumstances. Failure in patience will result in prayers going unanswered. The Lord doesn't need your help.

 All monkeys cannot hang from the same branch on a tree. That being said, life is not one size fits all. So if a person doesn't agree with you, it's not because of anything you said wrong, it's because God made them different and they aren't looking through the same window as you.

 If someone tried to give you their vision and you still didn't understand the vision they gave you, it's not because you couldn't see it, it's because you didn't want it. Stop thinking that your vision is the vision for all to see, because it isn't. God gave us all our own distinct lense, feel free to look through others besides yours, you'll be surprised at what you see.

 If you aren't capable of evolving away from the person you once were, something is truly mentally wrong with you. Why? Because we must change who we once were in order to elevate our level of comfoft in life. Refusing to change from the person you once were, shortens your overall life span on earth.  

 If you know what you are, why would you "listen" to someone tell you what you aren't? The Lord knows exactly who you are and that's all that matters.

 You cannot force a person to learn if they aren't willing to learn. Change for some, can be very difficult as we are all creatures of habit. However, the Lord say we must change because change is good. "You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.” (Ephesians 4:20-24). Remaining locked into your own way thinking will only stunt your overall growth as a person. 

 If you know that your ideas work, why would you debate with someone that disagrees with your ideas? It's like arguing with ignorance, it doesn't equate. It's people that will challenge you because ignorance doesn't allow them to understand no matter the number of times you explain it. (Dead brain cells). Let the dead stay dead. 

 Where have our children gone? The expectations we once put upon ourselves, were expectations others could follow with confidence they could realistically achieve those same expectations. So where are we now futuristically speaking? Have we somehow maximized our output in society? Or has it been theoretically compromised by coonspiratorial thoughts from our younger generation? Where are we?

 Do you know who your biggest enemy in life is? Your biggest enemy in life is "you". Nobody knows you better than you, make no mistake about it. Do not be complacent in the knowledge you've already attained in life, because you should always be willing to allow your brain the opportunity to absorb more. 

 If your over 50, your the new era of senior citizens for the future. You were who you were, but you are now entering a new chapter in your life, make the best of these years with the little youth you have left.
