Day 81/4

Life is short friends. You need to start to get healthy. Is it going to be easy? I promise you it is not, but will it be worth it? More than you will ever know. You have to start to look around and wonder "whose life can I help change today?" So many are hurting and just sure no one cares about them. Maybe if you would get your mind off of yourself you might notice their struggles. Maybe give someone words of encouragement instead of discouragement  I know for some that is hard, but guess what? That gets easier too. Why do you want to be the buzz kill to someones party? Why do you want to throw water on their torch? BECAUSE misery loves company. If you put one lobster in a basket it will crawl out. If you put a bunch in there they will keep pulling each other down. No one gets out. If you are hanging around a bunch of clinging crustaceans then maybe you need to change the scenery. Find people who will encourage you in your ambitions. Take a step to become healthier. Walk out in your God given authority and change others lives. It helps when you know who you are as a person and who you are in Christ. So find a place where there are people you want to be like, then, start to hang around with them. They will embrace you and if they don't then it is the wrong crowd. Change your mind, change your attitude, and then you can change the world. I am seeing so many hurting people that I know it will take some time to get to them all. So why not open your heart and give them a word of kindness and if they stomp on it, take a deep breath, smile and go on. If you see them the next day, do it again. Some friends are so beaten down it may take years of  kind words. Don't let the rest of your life slip away without making a difference to someone you know or even someone you don't. My journey to help others continues.........stay tuned.
