James W. Inspirational Thoughts

  It comes a time in life you outgrow the things you once took so personal during those youthful years. You evolve away from taking things so personal because you understand that life moves on. And although that may be hard for some people, it's called growth.

 Do you realize how badly you are consumed with negative thoughts? Some people are so preprogrammed on thinking negative, they miss out on blessings waiting for them. It's no such thing as negative hypotheticals on "if it were meant to be God would allow you to have it", that's nonsense. It's no place in the bible God condones negative thinking and lost hope. Negative thinking generates depression and failure. Positive thinking generates positive results. 

  It's the smallest things in life that go unnoticed. Those unnoticed subtleties can generate enormous pleasure designed to extend great health and life longevity. On the other hand, ignoring those subtleties can shorten your lifespan as well as create unhappiness in your life.

  Love can hurt in so many ways, and not just relationships. It can be a family member, close friend, incarceration, an animal or even a stranger being harmed. Life has an plethora of ways it can cut your soul to the core and hurt you. And even though life has a loaded arsenal of way to hurt you, only God has the cure in healing all those wounds.

  If someone gives you knowledge on something you know absolutely nothing about, how can you dispute the person giving you the knowledge? That makes absolutely no sense, think about it.

  If you truly want to find peace, exercise forgiveness as it cleanses the heart. And most importantly, be honest with yourself, stop living the life of a charade and be truthful. Because the one great thing about telling the truth, you never forget.

  We've all slipped at some point in our lives, some lower than other, with many resorting to being buried in the ground. That being said, most have risen from those falls and went on to live peaceful lives as a testimony to those in the midst of their struggles. The world doesn't revolve around your struggles, it revolves around your recovery as it keep the world turning as we see it today.

  Relationships are filled with a plethora of twist and turns, enough to make a person go into temporary insanity, even if just for a moment without anyone knowing outside of yourself. But ask yourself this, what led to that train running off the tracks? Because one thing is for certain, it's totally one person fault relationships end.

  You can't see in front of you if you're always looking back. The foundation of all your pain only comes when you turn around and look back. Didn't you learn anything from Lot's wife? God strategically informed us to keep our eyes forward, therefore we must obey his wishes and do as such.

  It's been said that the purest form of love is a daughter and her father. It's a love unmatched by anything imaginable. That being said, with society oversaturated with women, what would our society look like if all men were true fathers to our oversaturated society of women? That in itself would reduce crime by 90%.

  God sends us small warnings signs before any harm is done to us. Problem is, we ignore those warning signs, opting to lean on our own understanding. He specifically said in his own words not to lean on our own understanding. You are your own worse enemy. Self inflicted wounds that could have been avoided.

  Many thing in life are optional, many things in life aren't optional. Problem is, most people opt to exercise the non optional portions of life they know aren't good options to begin with.

  Something that goes unnoticed in our society, is people that openly crucify individuals for various reasons, and that's displeasing to God. Those same individuals that openly judge and crucify people, are the exact same individuals that end up at some point in their lives suffering for various reasons unknown . Whether that be through unforeseen sicknesses, cancer, losing a child or loved one, car accidents, etc. This list goes on and one, and you come away wondering why these things happen to good people that haven't harmed anyone? Such people can never see the paper trail leading back to themselves. To be continued.....

  Forgiveness can be very difficult through the eyes of pain, but it can be done. It's the key you moving forward without looking back and reflecting on something that couldn't be prevented. Lack of forgiveness prevents your ability to love, receive constructive criticism, give sound advice, sustain healthy relationships, establish healthy relationships, and receive grace from the Lord.

  It's no such thing as not knowing right from wrong. A child knows right from wrong even at the age of 3, let that sink in. Some people will plea ignorance when it's convenient to save self incrimination. Because if you didn't know right from wrong, why did you have to sneak and do it? Exactly.

  Have you ever dealt with internal pain that can't seem to go away? Chances are you've found a way to compartmentalize it without actually dealing with it. Now ask yourself this, if you're incapable of dealing with internal pain, how can you help a child deal with pain? Just because your an adult, it doesn't make you qualified to help a child dealing with pain, or anyone else for that matter. Your best option would be to seek professional help before you can help someone else.

  Have you ever found yourself wondering why certain things aren't working in your favor despite your efforts in doing the right thing? It's because sometimes you can be in the right place, but it's at the wrong time.

  Each and every day bring on new challenges, reminding us not to take life for granted. We must learn to appreciate the life we live and enjoy those precious moment that make us laugh. We must also remember that nothing in life is a foregone conclusion, nor should we assume it's inevitable, because it isn't. Love life, enjoy life, enjoy the moment and learn to laugh.

  It's been said that promises are made to be broken. If so, why is it God hasn't broken his promises? A promise is only broken when your heart lacks the desire to honor. You shouldn't commit to something knowing the depths of your heart.

  The same way you can see through a person, is the exact same way a person can see through you.
