Pearls of Wisdom

Each person on the Earth is a unique and wonderful creation of God. Each person has wisdom uniquely obtained by them. Unfortunately, we often wait until we're old to impart these pearls of wisdom. I've decide not to wait. (or perhaps I'm already old!). Anyway....I know they have helped me. I hope my sharing these helps you, too.

Anger is often the result of frustration.
Frustration can be viewed as "an attempt to control something over which you have no control".

  3. Work

Don't worry
Matthew 6:25-34

If you are worried about something:
  1. Ask yourself "What's the absolute worst that can happen?"
  2. Decide what would you do if that happened.
You will find that you can still survive even the worst-case scenario.

It is a causal universe...
Actions have consequences.
To be in denial of that is to disengage yourself from the laws of the universe
which puts you at a great disadvantage
and makes you vulnerable to an inordinate amount of pain.
Other than that: it's no big deal.
-"God" in "Joan of Arcadia" TV show



Think about how stupid the average American is.
Then realize that half of them are stupider than that!
