What must you do to become wise?
1) Listen twice as much as you talk. Remember, even the simplest people can teach us something. Be a “sponge.”
2) Always look at failure as a wonderful chance to learn. Making mistakes can make you very wise if you learn from them.
3) Believe very strongly that the most important thing in life is love. Anger and hate close any path to becoming wise.
4) Know that there are some things in life that will never be understood; accept that.
5) Be curious about everything. When we were small children, nothing missed our curiosity. Try to rekindle and keep that curiosity. Love and respect truth in the process.
6) Work at developing a good value system and a moral conscience that serves you well. Never compromise them.
7) Remember: The path to wisdom never ends, and the person who believes he is wise probably is not even on the path.
Walter Cronkite—another elder long revered for his wisdom—once said, “It is heartening to know that when young people seek advice these days, many are turning to their Elders for their advise
MEMO FROM GOD
To: YOU
Date: TODAY
From: GOD
Subject: YOURSELF
Reference: LIFE
This is God. Today I will be handling All of your problems for you. I do
NOT need your help. So, decide, right now, to have a nice day, no matter
what happens around you.
I love you.
GOD
P.S. And, remember....
If life happens to deliver a situation to you that you cannot handle, do
Not attempt to resolve it by yourself!!
Kindly put it in the SFGTD (Something For God To Do) box. I will get to it
in MY TIME. All situations will be resolved, but in the perfection of My
Time, not yours
P.S.S.
Once the matter is placed into the box, DO NOT hold onto it by worrying
about it. Instead, focus on all the wonderful things that are present in
your life now.
If you find yourself stuck in traffic, don’t despair. There are people in
this world for whom driving is an unheard of privilege. Use the time to
talk to Me.
Should you have a bad day at work, think of the person who has been out of
work for years. I am with you, and I am with them to make it better.
Should you despair over a relationship gone bad, think of the person who
has never known what it’s like to love and be loved in return. Remember, I
love you, and I am loving them.
Should you grieve the passing of another, think of the one you are
grieving over, completely alive, again, in pure joy and laughter, on the
other side life. I am with the person that is in sorrow, just as I am
with the person that has just crossed over.
Should your car breakdown, leaving you miles away from assistance, think
of the paraplegic who would love the opportunity to take that walk. I will
be there to comfort you, to protect you, and to give people near you the
Divine idea to come to your aid, just as I am doing the same, daily, with
the paraplegic.
Should you notice a new gray hair in the mirror, think of the cancer
patient in chemotherapy who wishes she had hair to examine. I am a God who
comforts through change and through adversity. I make things better.
Should you find yourself at a loss and pondering what is life all about,
asking what is my purpose, be thankful. There are those who didn’t live
long enough on earth to get the opportunity. Your soul is here on this
plane of life to grow, explore, and enjoy the precious moments given to
you as a gift.
Should you find yourself the victim of other people’s bitterness,
ignorance, smallness or insecurities, remember: things could be worse. You
could be one of them!
Remember that I am with you and I will not forsake you.
Love,
God
