The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren

Don't associate with people you can't trust.
Don't cheat. Don't lie. Don't pretend.
Don't dictate because you are smarter.
Don't demand because you are stronger.

Don't date because you are desperate.
Don't marry because you are miserable.
Don't have kids because you think your genes are superior.
Don't philander because you think you are irresistible.

Don't sleep around because you think you are old enough & know better.
Don't hurt your kids because loving them is harder.
Don't sell yourself, your family, or your ideals.
Don't stagnate!

Don't regress.
Don't live in the past. Time can't bring anything or anyone back.
Don't put your life on hold for possibly Mr. Right.
Don't throw your life away on absolutely Mr. Wrong because your
biological clock is ticking.

Learn a new skill.
Find a new friend.
Start a new career.
Sometimes, there is no race to be won, only a price to be paid for
some of life's more hasty decisions.

To terminate your loneliness, reach out to the homeless.
To feed your nurturing instincts, care for the needy.
To fulfill your parenting fantasies, get a puppy.
Don't bring another life into this world for all the wrong reasons.

To make yourself happy, pursue your passions & be the best of what you can be.
Simplify your life. Take away the clutter.
Get rid of destructive elements: abusive friends, nasty habits, and
dangerous liaisons.
Don't abandon your responsibilities but don't overdose on duty.

Don't live life recklessly without thought and feeling for your family.
Be true to yourself.
Don't commit when you are not ready.
Don't keep others waiting needlessly.

Go on that trip. Don't postpone it.
Say those words. Don't let the moment pass.
Do what you have to, even at society's scorn.

Write poetry.
Love Deeply.
Walk barefoot.
Dance with wild abandon.
Cry at the movies.

Take care of yourself. Don't wait for someone to take care of you.
You light up your life. You drive yourself to your destination.
No one completes you - except YOU.

It isn't true that life does not get easier with age.
It only gets more challenging.
Don't be afraid. Don't lose your capacity to love.
Pursue your passions.

Live your dreams.
Don't lose faith in God.
Don't grow old. Just grow YOU!

When you give someone your time, you are giving them a portion of your
life that you'll never get back. Your time is your life. That is why
the greatest gift you can give to someone is your time. Relationships
take time and effort, and the best way to spell love is T-I-M-E
because the essence of love is not what we think or do or provide for
others, but how much we give of ourselves...

My 2018 Lessons learned..

Tonight I have so much joy in my heart, as I reflect on this year. We have had so many setbacks yet God ordained our come back. We are on the verge of entering a new season and I am so expectant within my spirit. I cannot contain the excitement. This year has taught to love my family, my husband, my kids and my mother and not forgetting my Bestie Bianca. These were the ones who stood by me this year when I was down and out they picked up. My best friend has been a sister to me in word and deed God has strengthened our relationship so much. The ones whom I thought were my sisters they fell by the way side and made me wiser. Life showed me who will show up and support me. Through all of our setbacks and trials I have learned to trust in Jesus more and less on man. GOD HAS allowed me to accept the things I cannot change and accept people for who they are. GOD has taught me to forgive quickly and continue to pray for the ones who persecute me and cause me harm, God has taught ...

He works all things out...

And just like that my life has changed, from dreaming of becoming a Teacher and having my own class things changed just like that. I survived my first full week at school. Days of preparation and laying of foundation. As I sit and type these notes, my heart is so full. I am filled with immense gratitude to God for paving the way for me. I work with the most amazing colleagues who have the love of education rooted deep within them. The lesson I learned this week is that preparation is key, if I want my day to flow the next day, I need to prepare the day before so that I can get everything done. When one has had so many trials along the path of life it's hard to believe that relief is here and that it's just teething process we have to get through now. God does give you the desires of your heart when you trust Him to do so. When we submit our plans to Him, He works out a perfect plan  for us. He promises in His word that He will work all things out for our good (Romans...
