You are complete in Christ. So stop trying to please others. Stop doing things to get attention. To make yourself look good and feel good. Gratuitous self adulation. You don’t need that. That’s ego….edging God out. Stay focused on who God is and how he sees you. Why he made you the way your are. Ask Him what He wants to do with your life. That’s the big picture. Stay with it. Don’t let you life become consumed by trivial thoughts and desires. In fact every time a thought comes to mind, catagorize it. Its either trivial or meaningful. Dont blindly accept what comes into your head. Question it. If it is not of God, discard it. You know better.

Mind Your Business
Posted in Fullfilment, Life Management, Uncategorized with tags Focus, Goals, Life, Worry on May 20, 2009 by 2nd Hand AdviceAre you plagued with thoughts that nobody likes you, people don’t give you your props, you don’t get the respect you think you deserve?
The late great psychiatrist, Dr. David Viscot, inventor of short term thearapy, once said if your consumed by what others think about you, you don’t have much going for yourself or much going on in life.
Some of us spend way too much time thinking about what others think about us. Am I making the right impression? Do they like me? Why do they do things to intentionally annoy me?
Well, the right question to ask is, who cares? The truth is most people are really only worried about what’s going on in their own lives. Every single person has their own cross to bear. We all have enough to deal with, to face our own problems, burdens, worries, concerns and issues.
Nobody has the time to worry about you too! Besides, really, you’re not so important that you command that kind of attention and focus from others. Get off you high horse!
Live your life. Get a focus on things you need to accomplish to stay on the upswing. Mind you own business. Set some goals, and take action to move those goals forward. Don’t worry about what others think or say about you. When you focus on you, and do the things you need to do, it won’t matter what others think about you. That’s minding YOUR business.
