Create Time to be better....You only live once.

This is not the year to look back and wish you had done something.
It is not the year to look back and wish you had said anything.
Neither is it the time to 'what if'.
There is nothing like 'what if'. It either happened, didn't happen or wasn't meant to happen.

So, stop wishing, stop looking back at yesterday, for it is gone. Learn from it.

Instead, take the bull by it's horns, plough the ground, uproot the lingering weeds, let the tears flow (the grounds needs the water),put your head up and take a step of faith, and let God reign. He has your future in his hands. If He's got the whole world in his hands, why on earth would you think He don't got your back??

Great expectations, hope, and faith are what keeps us going. If we didn't expect anything, what would life be like? If we didn't hope for the best, how on earth would we survive? and if we didn't have faith, God help us, we wouldn't be here.

This year take back what is yours. Claim your rightful place as a Child of God. If you are an employee, be the best you can be. Give your all. I've been thinking about this since i heard the sermon today at my church, brought forth by a prophetic and anointed man of God, who is probably the best pastor ever! Haven't really met another like him...so..:)He has my full respect as a prophetic changer for this generation.
Anyway, back to my point....as an employee work fervently, give all you've got. Work faithfully and work favorably.

As an employer, honor those who work for you. Treat them like you would want to be treated. Show respect and honor your word. Pay up and compensate as agreed. Remember you didn't get there all by yourself. It could be taken away from you.

As a parent (I am one), so i can speak. Be present. Be there and be the example.
Let your children learn from you. Let the care center and the nanny act as helpers, but not the parents. Do not let anyone else take your place as the mom or the dad. Take charge of your home. Throw the enemy out, lock shields with your wife or your family members and keep your family and household covered. If you need to throw out the TV, go ahead and do so.

For the aspiring young people, stay in school, keep going, even though it's one class a semester. You never stop learning, and don't let anyone tell you that you are done. If you are bored. go outside, leave the TV and the video games. Take a walk - to the community center, to the library and read a book you've never rad before. Ever been to Africa? Well, pick up a book on it. Have you ever gone skiing? grab a book on it and learn something new.

For the young girls, know that you are beautiful and you were carefully and wonderfully constructed in the image that God saw fit for you. He had a purpose you know...:)The best and most striking. Do not let anyone define beauty for you. Do not let the boys dictate what your life should be like. Be a strong woman, take charge and demonstrate the power in you to be strong, beautiful, striking and confident. Do not entertain grownups who you do not know. Keep away from people who take you away from your friends, family and church. Keep away from those asking you to keep secrets, and keep away from those who tell you, you look mature at 13. They are liars.

Smile more. Give more of your time as an individual. Cook up some food and go feed someone who is alone or sick. Buy some sugar, flour, bananas and eggs and knock on your neighbors and chat for a minute. If you don't have time, well, create some. We all have 24hrs, and we should lay down the excuse of not having time.

All to say, do more good, don't look back, learn from yesterday, move on and become a responsible human being with others on your mind.

Create time to be better. You only live once.
