Many people are afraid of ......
- ....growing old & being alone; at times, you have to be alone to be enlightened.
To terminate your loneliness, reach out to the homeless.
- ....being bored & becoming insane..
... fear age, it's a right of person-hood.
... fear death- it's God's greatest jest.
.... date because you're desperate or put your life on hold for possibly Mr(s). Right.
... throw you life away on absolutely Mr(s). Wrong because your biological clock is ticking & you can't afford to have your eggs harvested before the new year is coming.
... sleep around because you think you're old enough and know better, cheat or philander because you think you're irresistible; most likely, you're not.
... marry because you're miserable; to keep yourself warm, buy a jacket, in the long run, it will be less complicated and less costly.
... commit when you're not ready, but also don't keep others waiting needlessly.
To feed your nurturing instincts, care for the needy.
... bring another life into this world for all the wrong reasons by having kids because you think your genes are superior;
... hurt your kids because loving them is harder
To fulfill your parenting fantasies, get a puppy.
... separate because you think it's fashionable.
... sell yourself short, your family or trade your ideals.
... drink because you have troubles.
... gamble because you think winning is inevitable
... pretend, lie or associate with people you can't trust.
Get rid of destructive elements - abusive friends, nasty habits and dangerous liaisons.
... try to buy your way into the kingdom of God
... demand because you're stronger or dictate because you're smarter; rather have a Servant-Leadership approach
... stagnate or regress.
... live in the past.
Time can't bring anything or anyone back
... be afraid.
... lose your capacity to Love.
... lose Faith in Jesus Christ yor Lord & Saviour; God Almighty
What about rather ..... DO
Learn a new skill.
Start a new career.
Find a new friend.
There's always a mad Rush to something, somewhere - but victory does not always belong to those who finish first.
Sometimes, there is no race to be won, only a price to be paid for some of life's more hasty decisions.
Fall in Love - it's the greatest thing on earth..........,but take care and remember, after the fall must come the rise.
Say those words...... don't let the moment pass.
To make yourself happy, pursue your passions and be the best of what you can be.
Write poetry.
Love deeply.
Walk barefoot.
Hold hands.
Dance with wild abandon.
Cry at the Movies.
Simplify your life.
Take away the clutter.
Go on that trip, -don't postpone it.
Take care of yourself, don't wait for someone to take care of you.
You light up your own life.
You drive yourself to your destination.
No one completes you - except you.
It is true that life doesn't get easier with age.
It only gets more challenging.
Do what you must even at society's scorn.
When you're 18, 54 seems ancient.
When you're 54, 18 seems juvenile.
A turnaround in a split second - 36 years zoom past
and before you know it, it's only a split second to the next new year.
Don't grow old....
..... Just grow up.
Shalom
