Some of my Personal Views on Life

Defined by the dictionary, religion is a system of worship. Have you ever really thought about what religion is? I feel the correct religions are the ones that believe in God and his son Jesus Christ. God and Jesus are the only ones, who can always be there for you and love you always. Others may try, but people are not perfect. God and Jesus are perfect. All you have to do is ask and try your hardest. I am positive your life will improve. Everyone needs someone or something to believe in. Why don't you try what I have chosen and turn to God. God gave up his only son, so sins may be forgiven. You still need to ask for forgiveness and feel some remorse for the sins you have committed, but God will forgive you. If you ever feel sad or any other negative feeling, just remember God loves you. Believe in God and yourself; then you will be able to accomplish anything. It is always your choice and you must freely accept God. Being good and believing in God will take you to the greatest place ever which is heaven. Your time here on earth determines where you will go for the rest of eternity. I firmly believe all of this, but it is up to you to make the right choice.

The biggest flaw in the world today is the lack of love. If all of us could more freely give, the world would be a better place. The thing that hurts the most is the people who do try get taken for granted. You try to show someone you care then they avoid you. Then the people who do care feel rejected and go around being depressed. Is it so hard for people to believe that someone does care and they do not want anything in return. I could say I am different, but I am not. I am a good person in general, but I do have a lot of bad thoughts. I am consciously aware of myself though and strive to improve. Let's try something. Today, smile at someone you normally do not smile at. Force yourself to greet someone new. Say something real nice to someone you love. Have a wonderful day.

Do you ask yourself what's wrong with me? I shall tell you. Most people have closed minds. Have an open mind I will explain. When you first see someone you make a judgement of them. This first impression enters your mind and effects almost every interaction afterwards. This is not the way it should be. We can not read minds, or who knows maybe you can. As for me I can not. Therefore how am I supposed to know why they act the way they do? Maybe the person has had a bad day. We assume the worst usually. Be nice to everyone, it will only help. So you have enemies and people that hate you. Be nice to them especially. If you try this, one of two things usually happen. One thing is it makes the enemies angry, which can be very funny. Their loss if they do not cheer up. Two they change from enemies to friends. The latter probability of course is the best outcome. Either way though is good for you, because you know you did try. Always be open to new ideas. Let's say you have a terrible day. Every time you are in this bad mood it effects how you interact with people. you give out a frown it will be passed along. The same goes with a smile. Spread happiness and show that you are strong. You will be doing the greatest job in the world. Be accepting of people whether good or bad.

Love is the most important thing to me. I feel as if it is the meaning of life. There has been a few relationships in my life and I have studied about it in books. Unfortunately though, Love is one of the things you must experience firsthand to even begin to understand it. To Love others, it is important to love yourself first. If you do not truly love yourself currently, it is time to start. To begin all you have to do is say it. “I love myself.” Go ahead, I know you feel funny. Laugh out loud. It is okay. Don’t you feel better? Do this every morning when you wake up. You will begin to feel the change. For a variation, just give yourself a compliment. Such as “I am great looking.” Be creative with what you say, but make sure they are positive statements. A lot of people put themselves down in their own minds. Quit it. Do not make yourself an enemy. You are unique. There is no one exactly like you. The experiences you have lived through are yours alone. It takes courage just to get out of bed. We all have those days when we could just stay asleep. What if there is something I dread doing later? More than likely it needs to be done. Think about how good you will feel after it is over. It will be much better. If you put it off it will still be there tomorrow. That equals times two dread. Dreading today and tomorrow. Procrastinating is a big hindrance to love. Love for yourself is much easier to do if you are acting now. It gives you the feeling of accomplishment. So in review, One get out of bed. Two, give yourself a compliment. Three do what needs to be done.

"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference."

" I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.....Do to others as you would have them do to you. If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even"sinners" love those who love them." "Give and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured unto your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." Luke 6:27-28, 31-32 Luke 6:38
