> > Life is an accumulation of one's choices. Both the good and the bad
things

years

> > How to live like .......
> > * Avoid gossip. Find good news about other people. Believe the best
> > rather than assume the worst. Spread good rumors and avoid judgmental
> > condemnation. Gossip diminishes your worth because you live at the
expense
> > of others - tearing them down by saying, I may not be much, but at least
> I'm
> > not as bad as that guy.
> > * Release bitterness. Don't blame others, and don't walk around
> > waiting for someone to apologize to you.
> > * Take risks. Step out in faith, believing in God.
> > * Trust. Living a life of worry guarantees a sad life. When you try to
> > be God by grabbing control, you shrivel because you cannot bear the
> weight.
> > You can live comfortably with the unknown when you choose to trust God.
> > * Don't live for stuff. Keep materialism in check. When you live for
> > the accumulation of things - either by purchasing these things or by
> > constantly longing for what you can't afford - you become a shrinking
> soul.
> > * Master your appetite. If you are controlled by your cravings your
> > spiritual capacity will lessen - because food, lust, or other unchecked
> > desires will take over. Grow deep. Spend time thinking about the meaning

> > * Build your life on a firm theological and philosophical foundation.
> > Think of the important things and don't burn up your intellectual
energies
> > on monumental facts such as sports scores or the weather.
> > * Live today. Celebrate the past, embrace the present, and anticipate
> > the future. Learn from the past but don't live there. Recognize that the
> > good old days are never going to return and maybe weren't as good as you
> > recall. Engage fully in this day.
> > * Think globally. Realize that God is Lord and creator of the whole
> > world. That means you must live comfortably with all the diversity He
> made,
> > and reach out to serve His world.
