The country-western singer, Waylon Jennings, said, “Life is too short to hang with cats who can’t play.” The same can be said of hanging with people who are always angry or think only about themselves. Choose to hang with people who enjoy life, enjoy people, and will lift your spirits on even the darkest day.

💡 Something to Think About
There are times when we bite off more than we can chew. We don’t have many choices when that happens. We can give up, cry for help, or dig down deep and figure it out. In my experience, we grow more by digging down deep and figuring it out. It’s not easy, there will be stumbles, but they’ll give way to dogged persistence and a non-quit attitude.Â
💡 Something to Think About
If we sit and think about our problems and challenges they’ll never go away. We have to stand up and face them. Even if we fail to resolve them, we try again and again. We’ll eventually wear them out. Refuse to quit. Refuse to give in to the problems and challenges. You’re tougher than your problems or challenges.
💡 Something to Think About
There are always consequences for our actions. The consequences may be good or bad. Some consequences are immediately known and others silently wait their turn to strike. The more we are aware of our actions and their consequences, the more we can choose good consequences and build a meaningful and happy life.
💡 Something to Think About
We walk in the darkness. There’s bad news abounding. Turn on your light. Light up the darkness. Let others know that it will be okay. Let them know that tomorrow will be better than today. I think I can see your light already shining!!
💡 Something to Think About
There’s comfort in settling into a routine where each day is a copy of the previous day. The comfortable place is nice, but it does not promote growth. If we’re to grow we need to be challenged. We need to learn from trials. We need to test ourselves against whatever life tosses at us.
💡 Something to Think About
Resiliency is like a bouncing rubber ball. Toss it down, it bounces up. In the same way, when we take a hit, dust it off, get up, and get going. Resiliency is a mark of people who survive and thrive in all types of situations.

💡 Something to Think About
A cold front blew through south Texas yesterday with gusty winds. It won’t stop spring from coming. The grass is turning green, leaves are popping out, wild flowers are peeking out. Some days we can have setbacks that knock us to the side of the road. The setback will run out of steam, get back on the highway, you’ve got a clear road ahead.
💡 Something to Think About
If you’re looking for easy, you won’t find it on planet Earth. It is hard work carving out a life. It is hard work to make a relationship work. It is hard work to overcome the tough times. All our hard work etches itself in our character. When it gets tough, get tougher and keep on going. You Can Do It!
