It’s okay to care but it’s not okay to worry

 

I grew up caring too much for everyone, whether you are a friend, a family or just a neighbor next door, if I hear anything bad concerning people, I get worried seriously worried and sometimes scared on their behalf, I don’t know who taught me that, neither do I know when did it start I just found out myself that way. There was a moment when I stopped watching the news cause when I hear bad things I get scared, I shared that to a friend on a conversation he simply answered, why do you worry about other people’s issues? That is theirs to fix, just watch the news and let it be. Simple as that, I was mesmerized and asked myself is it that simple?  Was I an Idiot?  May be I was by worrying and maybe I was not by caring, I took some time to digest what he said and later on, after I read between the lines, I got his point that Its okay to care but it’s not okay to worry.

Kindness, Love and Care of our self and others is necessary for our wellbeing and our own joy of course, one thing to note is not to drain our self on the name of caring for others, do what you can with what you have to those who need you. Just like blood group, there is a blood group O can offer blood to all other blood group while other groups can’t do that. Help people as much as you can, but if it comes to the point when you cannot handle, then it’s okay to let it be and let them fix theirs.

Gloria Busungu : Love Them As They Are

Love is a beautiful thing, it begins within. Even the scripture says that “Love your neighbor as yourself”, it’s a conditional statement you love yourself first then you will know how to love others/ neighbor as you love you. There is no pure love to others if we have not loved ourselves enough. One of the best feeling in this world, is to know and be sure that you are loved as who you are, that someone knows the really you, your flaws and forte and loves you anyways. This begins with you first loving you as you are, knowing your strength and weakness and love yourself anyway, this gives you the strength to patiently understanding others and love others as they are. In life we are opportune to live with family, friends and neighbors who have different behaviors and attitudes, some of the behavior may feel offensive but one of the things I have learned is that you are not the emotional caretaker of everyone who is important to you, you have only one duty and that is to love th

Pray daily for the universe and all human kind.

  Opening Quote: A day without prayer is a day without blessing, and a life without prayer is a life without power -Edwin Harvey The better the world is; the better your peace will be.   This sound silly but it is important to pray for all people, everyone needs God’s grace and mercy. If you get one minute to pray for all human kind, you will live differently, you will see people differently and you will love and respect them regardless of their difference in color, religion, culture, political party, or anything that divine humans. Once you pray for all is when you realize all people matters, everyone need help of some kind, everyone needs appreciation and consideration. Here is my simple prayer for all human kind, you can use it as it is or modify it to fit your desire. “Dear Loving and Merciful Father, everyone in the entire universe needs your mercy, grace, forgiveness and guidance. We all need your love, protection and favor.   Have mercy on us all, forgive us all, save us a

Love and respect all people and wish them well

  Opening Quote: “In everything, do to others what you would have them do to you” -Matthew (7:12) Do you like being loved, appreciated, respected and valued? If the answer is yes, do the same to your fellow human. Teach your heart to love and respect all people regardless of their gender, social, religious, gender and nationality status.   If they respect you, respect them. if they don’t respect you, respect them as well . We gain nothing by respecting only those who are treating us better neither do loose a thing by respecting all regardless of their behavior. Let you values not change with time or peoples action. Your actions define who you are, but other people’s action define who they are. Don’t ever change your nature because they have refused to change theirs. Let your nature be respecting people at all weather and in all situation . Wish wellness to every human kind, their success will not limit yours, it may either add a catalyst to yours or never have any impact on your lif
