Don't I look 'GOOD'?

Or should the question be, "Don't you think I'm sexy?"

Short Thoughts for January 25, 2012

Give me peace
Give me strength
Lord, balance my life
and let the evil decrease
as we walk these bumby roads
Lord, help us carry these loads

Let a Good Reputation Precede You

I was watching Law & Order SVU and a 'pimp' said that 'reputation is everything in my business'. I find that comment rather odd but the words are important. I made a joke with my coworker who said that he should never let anyone call him a 'scamp' or use the word 'scamp' in the same sentence with his name. This is important because in many cases, one's reputation precedes him or her. It is better to be known as a loud person than a 'scamp'. The connotation of the word implies something negative.

It is sad that we have people in high positions who can be considered 'scamps'. Somehow, they are like the Pyramid Scheme and MLM crooks who are just out there trying to fatten their own greedy pockets. I try my best to do the right thing because I want people to say that I am a good role model.

Don't let anyone call you a 'scamp'!

Prayer for January 23, 2012

Heavenly Father,

Help us to be kind and caring, cheerful and daring to serve you. Grant us the gifts of patience and discernment as you inspire us to do better and live better. Father, we know that we can never be perfect but it is our goal to live as good role models in your name.

AMEN

Your Harshest Critic

We are most times our own hardest critics. The haters are harsh critics too because all they want to do is see us fail. However, we have no time to focus on them because we have our life to improve. I sometimes take failure personal because I guess I am a results/solution driven person.

I like to attempt things that others would not think too. I like to excel just like everyone else. I hate failure but sometimes failure is neccessary for a good lesson. I sometimes want to beat myself up but I pull myself back, dust off and revamp.

It is important we are able to ease off ourselves because we don't want to make ourselves depressed. We have to pray for guidance, humility and strength to get us through each day.
