Are you willing to deal with the question mark?

The question mark is the coat of arms of the human race.

FIVE QUESTIONS FOR EACH OF US TO ASK:

1.      When is the last time that I did a “random act of kindness?”

2.      Do I see difficulties in every opportunity or opportunities in every difficulty?

3.      Do I see good in others or simply their flaws?

4.      Do I attempt to work through a problem or do I simply try to get around it and consequently never get past it?

5.      What could I accomplish if I were absolutely focused on what I feel is most important in my life?

HOW COMFORTABLE AM I WITH MY ANSWERS?

Are you a pessimist?

A pessimist feels bad when he feels good for fear that he will feel worse when he feels better.

George Bernard Shaw observed, “…that a pessimist is

the fellow who thinks that everyone is as nasty as

he is and he hates them for it.”

The pessimist makes difficulties of opportunities

instead of making opportunities of difficulties.

Pessimism is a constant threat for all of us.

TO OVERCOME PESSIMISM, REMEMBER:

God know your name.  You are not a number but a person created in His image.

You can do something to make your part of the world better.  It is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness.

You will find strength in God when YOU open your heart and your head to Him.  He will run to meet YOU!
