Here is your Thursday STORY on:
ADAPTING TO CHANGE:
Too much CHANGE in our life can cause health problems; unless we have the skill and strength to deal with it.
I have been close to a colleague who has been advised to stop smoking for health reasons. The advice that came back from the clinic was to change your daily routine as habit is a major obstacle that needs to be overcome.
Rather than get up in a morning, go downstairs and make yourself a drink and have a cigarette, before you're prepared to have a wash and clean your teeth; is a ritual of routine. Nicotine patches and the varying remedies to inject nicotine into your body are helpful to wean you off the drug, but it is the habit that can be your downfall.
The suggestion from the clinic is to move that favourite chair where you sat to have a cigarette, change your daily routine so that you get up in a morning and wash and clean your teeth before you go downstairs. Change your bad habits!
I would hope that this instruction from the clinic is clear? But what does it also inform us?
That habit can control our life without us knowing. If you had a problem you're going to react the same way you did the last time the situation arose; that is habit, not the lack of knowledge.
Today's story is an illustration on how to change the way we perceive. We need to take note, because our habitual reaction to CHANGE can cause anguish and ill-health.
I AM GOD
Today I will be handling all of your problems. Please remember that I do not need your help.
If life happens to deliver a situation to you that you cannot handle, do not attempt to resolve it. Kindly put it in the SFGTD (something for God to do) box. All situations will be resolved... but in My time, not yours.
Once the matter is placed into the box, do not hold onto it by worrying about it. Instead, focus on all the wonderful things that are present in your life now
If you find yourself stuck in traffic; Don't despair. There are people in this world for whom driving is an unheard of privilege.
Should you have a bad day at work; Think of the man who has been out of work for years.
Should you despair over a relationship gone bad; Think of the person who has never known what it's like to love and be loved in return.
Should you grieve the passing of another weekend; Think of the woman in dire straits, working twelve hours a day, seven days a week to feed her children.
Should your car break down, leaving you miles away from assistance; Think of the paraplegic who would love the opportunity to take that walk.
Should you notice a new grey hair in the mirror; Think of the cancer patient in chemo who wishes she had hair to examine.
Should you find yourself at a loss and pondering what is life all about, asking what is my purpose? Be thankful. There are those who didn't live long enough to get the opportunity.
Should you find yourself the victim of other people's bitterness, ignorance, smallness or insecurities; Remember, things could be worse. You could be one of them!
Should you decide to send this to a friend; Thank you... you may have touched their life in ways you will never know!

How To Deal - How To Deal With Friends Who've Got It All
What is wrong with this girl , is she OKAY ?
- Dating for 6months
- She got out a break up 5months before I asked her out , she assured me that she was over her ex because I didn't want any drama.
-She got drunk and kissed one of the guys that liked her , I was mad but I let it go because it was the first time she did that and she told me the same night she made a mistake.
- She talked to her ex and I told her to stop it but she said there are friends and she knew him before they dated.
- One day I found she texted him saying how she loved him and wants to be with him and she only dreams about him during our fight and break period.
- I told her if she wants him then ias much as I love her I'm out , she cried and even ended up in the hospital for a panic attack.
- Her mom called me and apologized and I decided to give her another chance.
-Everything is good so far till last week.
- She lost her job , plus her family is going through financial problems so she became depressed.
- She tried fighting with me over the weekend but I matured up and avoided the fights.
-She called me the night and apologized and said she is going through stressful times and she is taking it out on me and she is sorry.
-I said ohkay never mind that but learn to control it , because I grew up with no father and I barely talk to my mom , I feel like a tenant in my house never included in family plans but I still find ways to be happy with you despite al this stress.
- She called again and said thanks for everything and the support. She then said she doesn't want me to be depressed with her so she will let me know when she is her self again because she loves :/ She then didn't talk to me for a whole day.
- I didn't want to bother her , she is very emotional and I'm what girls will call "a**hole" so I didn't wanna say anything. She is actually the only girl that understands me out of the girls that liked or like me , I chose her over many girls but I don't know.
She doesn't want to talk to me , I thought I was suppose to be the shoulder she could lean on ;/
Is she having second thoughts , or she wants her ex back or maybe she found a new guy ?
If so why does she keep saying she loves me yet ignore me / Why can't she be straight up ?
I don't want to make any stupid decision yet because I truly love this girl , I share more with her than anyone in my family because I have a bad history with my family I don't trust my mom and I don't know my father. Also I take her position into consideration , losing your job family issues and a break up with not help her right now.
Any ideas what is going on here ? ... I can't even think about this.
Stressing so much over this , not helping as am in university too , ic ant even focus on school :(
