Health & Wellness Live Happy Live Healthy 9:41 AM Two things affect your health; what you feed your mouth and what you feed your mind. Live Happy, Live Healthy Trust More Worry kills. Stress is the number 1 killer in the world. Change your psychology; change your physiology. Stress is thoughts. The antidote for stress is to trust God. Forgive More You don’t have to forgive abruptly. You can make it a journey Especially if you've been hurt deeply. It’s okay to be angry because anger has a purpose. Anger is an expression of self-love. It is a part of the healing process. However, anger has an expiration date. If you hold anger too long in your heart, it can kill you. Forgiveness is the greatest cleanser and toxic remover in the world. Forgiveness should be a habit, because everyday you’re going to get hurt. Because everyday your defenses are down with people you love. Because you expect to receive love in return. Love More You need to prioritize love. Put love in your calendar. See to it that you spend more time with the people you love. A medical study shows people who lack strong social relationships increase their risk of early death by 50%. This is almost the same risk percentage as those who smoke 15 cigarettes every day. Divorced people end up with 20% more chronic health conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and cancer than happy married couples do. Being human, your greatest need is love. Expect More Live from glory to glory to glory. Laugh More Told that he had little chance of surviving, Norman Cousins, an American political journalist, author, professor, and world peace advocate developed a recovery program incorporating mega doses of Vitamin C, along with a positive attitude, love, faith, hope, and laughter induced by Marx Brothers films. "I made the joyous discovery that ten minutes of genuine belly laughter had an anesthetic effect and would give me at least two hours of pain-free sleep," he reported. "When the pain-killing effect of the laughter wore off, we would switch on the motion picture projector again and not infrequently, it would lead to another pain-free interval." Laughter is a deep human need, that’s why we tend to gravitate towards people who make us laugh. How to Laugh More: a. Smile often. You don’t need a reason to smile. b. Spend time with fun people. Get rid of the grouches. c. Watch comedy. d. Laugh at yourself. e. Count your blessings. Vacation More Women who did not go for a vacation have high risk of dying early by 8% Prayer is a vacation. Don’t postpone your vacation because you’ll never know how long you're going live. Take small inexpensive vacations. Serve More Never retire from serving without a title. A 30-year study was conducted among mothers. The healthiest of them are those who render volunteer works. Life is short no matter how long you live. Start living a healthy life now.

Faith Like An Arrow 1:31 PM Like an arrow pulled back ready to be launched forward, our problems are there not to hold us back for long but to prepare us to move forward in order to reach our target. That was yesterday's message at the Feast. Oftentimes, we get discouraged because of the pain we feel every time a trial stops us from reaching our goals. What we don't realize is that it's just temporary. Like an arrow pulled back by the archer to ready it for the target, we are being prepared for something greater, something better. Our Archer is preparing us to be launched, to soar high, until finally we hit that which we are aiming for. For His glory. Let us not be discouraged. Prepare to fly! Linked to:

Rants The Sun, The Moon, And The Truth 10:40 PM Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth." -Buddha Everyone lies, including me. As the song goes, "Honesty is such a lonely word. Everyone is so untrue." Still, it hurts like a mother when you're the one being lied to. Especially when the person would rather die than tell you the truth, and you know you did nothing to deserve it. I think it's the thought that you don't even matter to know the truth that hurts the most. It's discrediting. It's condescending. It makes you regret all the lies you told before as karma's acting like an unforgiving bitch to you. Also makes you angry at yourself for trusting too much. Oh, well. Life's like that. I guess we all need to remember to think about what our words can do to our lives, and other people's lives before we say anything. Words are potent indeed. It can make or break us. The Sun, The Moon, And The Truth Lies, no matter how sugar coated they may be will always always always break the liar and the person being lied to. I don't know why we have to build a web of lies but I think, desperation or ego sometimes get in the way that you choose lying over telling the truth. Maybe you want to protect the other person's feelings, or you just want to get away with something without being a d*ckhole. No matter what your intentions are, the end still does not justify the means. Whichever angle you try to look at it, it's still ugly. It's still unfair to the persons involved. It still destroys what has been built. One lie can change everything else, especially the way other people see you. Funny thing about the truth is that you can run from it, you can hide from it but, you can never escape it. It will always come out. It's like the universe put a default button to it that no law or adjustment can ever hide it. No lie can ever erase it. No one can ever change it. No matter how hard you try to convince other people, including yourself, the truth will find a way to reveal itself...always. Amazing! It's like the Law of Gravity. It's like the sun and the moon. No matter how cloudy it gets, it's just there and it will come out. It cannot be hidden forever. The funny thing about lying is watching the liar's reactions. It can be really entertaining. He seems convincing at first, fighting for what he seems to believe in but eventually crumbles before your eyes. He avoids you like a plague and eventually shuts his mouth. See, it's tiring to defend what's not true. You have to constantly think about new ideas, new reasons, new ways to convince people. You become inconsistent until you can't keep up with yourself. You forget where you've started, where you left off and you don't know when and where to end. It's actually fun to observe how the liar loses his power when the truth finally unveils itself. Ultimately, no lie can ever overshadow the truth. But the best thing about telling and knowing the truth is that it sets you free.
