Lost Values and Virtues

*The Lost Values and Virtues*

And so is our world these days,  that most people have deep respect for people who are witty and smart but not matured and sensitive to others and things around them.

Rich crooks are hailed and cheered all over as saviors,  giving the best and finest of seats in our churches, in our homes etc. But  what we fail to realise each time mostly is that their vast wealth came at the expense of the hard labor, sweat and hardwork of the weak and the helpless in our society.
By extorting the poor and vulnerable in our society, majority of them became rich and many more are on their way to becoming one taking the same crooked route.
This what I say to you this day, build for yourself integrity,  where doing the right thing and standing for the truth will always be an ever pursued virtue.

The desire to show maturity, and being sensitive to the emotions and feelings of others will be something of a regular practice.

Staying Resolute in the midst of difficulties and challenges in life builds up human faith and strength.  That should be a priority to all.

Perhaps these virtues and values  might not build you castles or buy you the best things in life to be seen by the world as successful,  but they are sure to build your wealth of great wisdom.

Think on these things.

Your Competition

Just remember, your competition isn't other people Your competition is; Your procrastination to getting important things done Your ego, that makes you think you are above everyone else Your unhealthy eating habits and health choices The knowledge you neglect because you think you know it all or because you think others don't have an opinion on a matter because they are not intelligent The negative mindset and behaviour you're nurturing because because you think you are not worth something Your lack of Creativity. Failing to explore new ideas or try new things because you think you will fail or not succeed again. You're not in competition with anyone but yourself.

The  Inconvenient  Truth

We hate the truth so much today. We hate hearing about it and hate  it even more when it is coming from other people who we feel are not close to us. We are quick to swallow and lend our ears  to any lie that flatters us but find it hard, almost impossible to live with the truth because it may appear bitter to us. Meanwhile, it would have been much better for us and our lives to live knowing the truth and painfully taking the long path to do the right thing than to take a shortcut or a detour of many deadly pleasures just to do wrong. No matter how hard or  harsh, it may sound for you to hear the truth or receive it, if it is going to put your life in the right direction, please listen and listen good. Stay away from people who will hail you at every turn, people who find everything and anything you do to be nothing but good. Because none is perfect, we all have our good and bad sides. It is impossible for you to always have a good side all the time even if you fake it. Embrace an

Change Your Words Change Your Life

Our brain while listening to words uses two separate areas to identify the mood and the real meaning of the words. Words are passed to the left temporal lobe of the brain for processing, and intonation is channelled to the right side of the brain, a region more stimulated by music. Do not speak negatively about yourself, not even as a joke. You know why?? Because your brain and body doesn't know the difference. Words have energy and they cast spells on your body. Change the way you speak to yourself, change the way you speak about your life. What you are not changing in your life with positivity, you are actually choosing it to remain the same. How do you change negative words?? *Speak to Yourself* It directly influences how you experience things in life. Our words play an important part in shaping our existence, so if your internal self-talk is negative, your external experiences will most likely be negative as well. *Start with a small shift* Replace just one word th
