Face it…people are stupid.

No silly, I don’t mean stupid stupid…

Just stupid as in naive…simple…not necessarily drawing the correlation from one thing to another.

A lot of times we don’t tap into our inner wisdom –  and make decisions because it is “what we want” or it “feels good” and later on we realize that our life is unraveling before our eyes due to a lack of discernment and understanding of how to effectively handle various life challenges.

When you take a moment and pray, meditate and seek out infinite wisdom in your efforts – you tap into the field of that knows exactly what the right thing to do in every situation and circumstance.

Lean not to your own understanding…don’t be stupid!!

Life is Short.  DREAM BIG!

www.jenniferdcarroll.com So many times we let ourselves get stressed out over things that we cannot control. We let our fears and worries overtake us until we manifest the exact thing that we were worried about. There is nothing that will or can handle to you that you cannot handle when you learn to release your attachment to the outcome of things that happen. Recognize that all things work together for your good and you will not let the illusion of temporary appearances affect your emotional well being.,

http://companies.to/onlinenetworkingt… Many people do not know how to handle stress and stressful situations. They worry themselves to death and contemplate all of the things that can go wrong, instead of meditating on how they want things to turn out. Learn how to speak to your circumstances so that you can get the result that you desire. There is power in your tongue, and the things that you say – so if you are constantly saying negative things – you will constantly get a negative result. Begin with your end in mind and proclaim the reality you wish to manifest.

Sometimes we feel that we are the only one going through challenging times and we get overwhelmed by our situation. You are DEFINITELY not alone in the life challenges that you face! Never envy another persons situation because you truly do not know what things that they struggle with or have struggled with in life…. All you see is the end result. Remember that every great person has a story of hardship and then triumph! God is preparing you for your ultimate blessing! Stay encouraged!!

Life is Short.  DREAM BIG!

Sometimes we get intimidated or down on ourselves because other people are out pacing. We let ourselves get swept into self doubt and feeling bad about ourselves because our life doesn’t “look like” someone else’s. What you need to remember is that your journey is unique to you and is going to have its own twists and turns – but that is ok. As long as you stay focused on your goals, you will get to where you are trying to go!

Fear of change,  Fear of Failure, Self Destructive or Just Plain Lazy?

Last Friday I spoke to a new friend of mine about some of her health challenges.  She has diabetes and it has gotten to be pretty serious.  Her blood sugar levels are consistently over 300….I had no idea if that was bad or good, but apparently that is very high.  She said that her doctor has told her on numerous occasions that she is going to die if she does not make drastic changes to her life and lifestyle.

She looked at me while were talking and she told me that she needed help – someone to work out with her so that she can get motivated and get consistent.  As she looked at me with her eyes welled up with tears and she told me in a clear loud voice, “If I don’t make these changes, I’m going to die“.

This whole conversation struck me deeply on a number of levels.  One because she is such an amazing and beautiful person and of course I am concerned about her health, but I was also quite fascinated about the fact that she had been told repeatedly that she needed to do something about her weight and eating habits but yet she was sipping on a Mountain Dew soda right before I walked up.

Why is it that we as people know we need to something, know that we should do something, know that our life hangs in the balance – but yet WE STILL DON’T DO IT!

People tend to get complacent about their lives and forget that they are the person who holds the key to the results that they get in life.  People tend to fail, because they believe that there is something else outside of them that is causing them to be a certain way.

“I’m overweight because it is hereditary in my family” – No you are overweight because you overeat and don’t work out.

“I am too busy to go back to school” – Well you are not too busy to watch television for a few hours a night and go to the club every weekend.

“I am late because traffic was so terrible getting down here”. – No, you were late because you woke up late and didn’t get out of the house on time.

You and only you have the ability to change your life.  If you have a situation in life and you don’t like what you see, you are the only person who can make the changes to revitalize your life. The first step to this is taking responsibility for what you do and don’t do.  Nothing just happens in life.  Everything is the result of some type of action – either conscious action or passive action  If you take conscious action, you control the results in your life.  If you take passive action you allow circumstances to happen and you choose to live by default.

My thought for the week is to take action!  Remember, “the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”- Lao Tzu, Chinese philosopher.
