Stop! That Hurts!

When life seems overwhelming and you just want it to stop… What do you do?

There is so much hurt around us, and often we are hurt badly by others. This is where the way we think, and forgiveness comes in.?

It is important to start by looking for the good in others and realize that everyone has their own life stuff happening.

Remember what I always say… “Life Happens, and Then You Choose!”

So what are you choosing?

Are you forgiving others and looking for the positive?

"Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it." - Mark Twain

When you feel crushed by someone, remember that fragrance, the good that is to come from the situation.?

“God works all things for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose?” Romans 8:28

There is a purpose for everything that happens to you. You just have to look for it.?

It can be hard, but it’s there.

“Everything has a good side, you just have to look for it.” - Unknown

If you look hard enough, there is opportunity in each challenge to grow and to learn life lessons you will need for the rest of your life.?

So take the opportunity when things are down, to look up!

Just like the stock market. It is great to buy in when things are low, because what goes down, will eventually come up, and you will benefit from it.

Also, looking for the good in people will make you a better person and build a good perspective into your life.

So think positively.

As Craig Groeschel says, “Change your thinking… Change your life!

If you want a good life, think positively.

Look for the good in others.

"Positive thinking will let you do everything better than negative thinking will" - Zig Ziglar

So here is your challenge…

Stop, and forgive the hurts.?

Look for the good in people and change your thinking and perspective for the positive. It will certainly change your life.?

You can… Live the Life You Choose!

Blessings.
