Love Your Enemies | #MyFridayStory №294

You can tip-toe around what it will take to make the world a better place, but it eventually comes down to one basic idea. To love everyone, including yourself and God… but there’s a kicker: You must also love your enemies. The minute we have “them and us” groups, we…

The Problem with “Toughen Up!” | #MyFridayStory №288

Vulnerability is sometimes seen as being weak, timid and a push-over. In a world where status and power are pursued in place of character and values, winning is everything. In that world, the competition is fierce with few “winners” and many wannabes. Here lives are built on facades and posturing…

Going (for) Broke | #MyFridayStory №313

Living in poverty is different than being poor. And being poor is not the same as being broke. Poverty is beyond hardship and struggle; it’s worse than being poor. Poverty is closer to life or death. It’s about survival day by day. You rarely escape from poverty. Being poor is…

Overflowing | #MyFridayStory №311

Slightly over a year ago, my Granddaughter died at only 2 weeks old. In the past, I have suffered the loss of my grandparents, my parents and my Brother. Yet nothing could have prepared me for the loss of my Son and Daughter-in-law’s baby girl — my Granddaughter. I still…

Beware the Noose of a Bad Reputation. Revere Having a Good One | #MyFridayStory №308

Repeated behaviour can earn you a reputation — good or bad. People labelling you as a troublemaker, a class clown, or grumpy often reinforces that behaviour. Shedding such a reputation may necessitate a complete overhaul of your character and personality. You’ll need to significantly change how people perceive you and…
