In Search of Self Worth By : Ruth Willms Built within each of us is a deep need for self worth. We desire to be loved and accepted. Often that need governs our behavior and is the primary source of all our emotional pain. So explains Robert S. McGee in his astounding book The Search for Significance. We devour self help books looking for ways to heal our wounds. We try to fix ourselves for God when God wants us to come to Him so He can grow us into His image. The Second Half of My Life By : Judy H. Wright Have you ever wondered what your destiny in life was? Did you ever ponder whether the road you were on was the one leading to fulfillment and happiness? Unlike so many of my friends and family, I have always had the sure knowledge of what was expected of me. Finding Gold in the Rocks - Reframe Negative Self-Imposed Traits into Positive Traits By : Judy H. Wright Too often, people criticize themselves and call themselves names. Sometimes we even take on the names other people have given us throughout our lives, even if we don't deserve them. We sometimes base our life on those negative traits, whether they're true or not. This is unhealthy, and an overall negative way to live your life. Next Time and Up Until Now - Mistake or Learning Experience? By : Judy H. Wright If you've made a mistake recently and you feel like beating yourself up about it, take a moment to think. Will this mistake affect your happiness for the rest of your life? Probably not. Say to yourself, "next time!" and think about how you'll handle a similar situation if it ever happens again. You've learned from your mistake now, instead of letting it get you down into a negative mindset. Give the Gift of Courage and Encouragement By : Judy H. Wright Encouraging words are extremely powerful. When you encourage somebody, you are giving them a gift of courage. It compels them to move forward, to achieve more in life than just the bare minimum. Knowing that somebody wants you to succeed, and tells you so, can give you the courage and the confidence to truly do so. Smile! Relieve Stress, Achieve Happiness, and Relax Just by Smiling By : Judy H. Wright Did you know that just by smiling, you can actually make yourself feel happy? It sounds silly, and it may not be easy the first time, but it's true, it really works. Sometimes a positive attitude in negative situations can turn things around, and improve the situation. Just like a positive attitude, a simple smile can calm you when you're stressed, or improve your mood when feeling down. Do Your Beliefs Control Your Actions? By : Judy H. Wright Everybody has beliefs. No matter who you are or where you're from, you hold beliefs about life. They may not be religious or spiritual beliefs, but rather beliefs about life and what it holds. Beliefs about how you should live. The problem is, it's easy to let your beliefs control you, instead of you controlling your beliefs. Beat the Summertime Blues By : Arlene Pellicane 3 Easy Ways a New Mom Can Get Over the Blahs Overcome Negative Self Talk with Encouragement By : Judy H. Wright How do you typically define yourself?

Wright Here are some methods I have found to be effective in deflecting criticism, while enhancing relationships. Criticism, Control and Cutting Remarks By : Judy H. Wright "You have such a pretty face; it’s too bad you are overweight." "How could you be so dumb?" "You did that wrong again." "What is the matter with you? Aren’t you listening?" "You are just like your dad and he was a loser too." Complain, Criticize or Change - Don’t be part of the problem, be the solution By : Judy H. Wright "So you watch yourself about complaining, Sister. What you're supposed to do when you don't like a thing is to change it. If you can't change it, change the way you think about it. Don't complain." Maya Angelou Adversity, Hard Times and Trouble; Why Not You? By : Judy H. Wright Some years ago, our family was going through a tough time. We had suffered lots of financial, medical and emotional stress. It became so overwhelming that we approached an older man from our church for counsel. Where Am I Going and What Am I To Do? By : LeAnn Romine Have you came to a point in your life where things began to shift directions, and you've felt unsure as to what your purpose is in life? Rest assured that God is in control and He has DOES have wonderful plans for your life! I've recently experienced this in my own life. I've been a stay at home mom for 18 years, and have raised four children, ranging from 18 years to 8 years. For years I have poured myself into my children, and although that has not changed, God has began to open up some new doors of opportunity. God has a very important call on your life and each and every step is important. I hope that this article will bless you, and that you'll see that God really does have a special purpose for you. destiny Declutter and Organize Your Home Office For Success By : Tammy Embrich Is your work at home office space organized?
