ALPHABETS OF WISDOM 4

"Bad times have a scientific value. These are occasions a good learner would not miss." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

AOW 4

Life is replete with both good, as well as the not so good experiences. And sometimes it throws in some bad ones too, but don't fall down and die when it happens. Instead apply it as lotion, on your skin when it does and move on. Try to see the hilarious side of every experience. It's there. Try to:

R: RELAX - Relax and refuse to let worry and stress rule your life. Remember, things always have a way of working out in the end.

S: SHARE - Share your talent, skills, knowledge, and time for the good of others. Anything you invest in others will return to you many times over: pressed down, shaken together and running over.

T: TRY - Even when your dreams seem impossible to reach, try anyway. You’ll be amazed at what you can accomplish by trying.

U: USE - Use your gifts to the best of your ability. Wasted talent has no value, but one utilized properly will bring unimaginable rewards.

V: VALUE - Value people - friends, family, etc. - who support and encourage you. Try to be there for them as well.

W: WORK - Work, work and work some more daily to be the best you can be, and never feel guilty if you fall short of your goals. Every sunrise offers a second chance.

It's almost a mantra now to hear people say, "Wisdom is profitable to direct." But I'm not sure how many people really understand or realize the meaning. Life is so beautiful, only that most of us abandon the little things that matter most, and go after big things that matter least. Relax sometimes, share when you should, try against the odds, use your gifting unrepentantly, value people and work tirelessly at your dreams. I bet you nothing can stop you.
