Avoid Gossip at all cost

 

Opening Quote: “Words have no wings but they can fly a thousand miles.” ~ Korean Proverb

 Are you a hater? Are you a fool? Are you an idiot? If you are then keep on gossiping. But if you are not then stop gossip at all cost. Because I read a quote that reads “Always remember rumors are carried by haters, spread by fools and accepted by idiots”.

You can easily lie when you gossip but there is a better choice to make. Before you speak anything’s ask yourself first, is it true? Second, is it kind? Third, is it necessary? Forth, what will I gain if I speak this? Fifth, what will I lose if I don’t say it? Sixth, will I be able to say it to the respective person face to face? Seventh, does it help the person change? If answers to these questions satisfy you. Then speak otherwise remain silent.

Blake Lively said “People gossip. People are insecure, so they talk about other people so that they won’t be talked about. They point out flaws in other people to make them feel good about themselves.”  Pointing weakness in others won’t heal yours. The more you know your own weakness and deal with them the less you will have time to gossip. Here is my simple advice, any time you feel like gossiping, think of your five worst mistake that you regret doing it and you don’t want anyone to know, first ask yourself can you tell people about those mistakes? Second, imagine someone publicizing it to others. The feeling that you will feel after imagining this, you can easily shut your beautiful month.

Pope Francis on his message for preparation of Lent 2022, he said there are two medicines to treat the habits of speaking ill behind peoples back, one is to pray for that person concerning the behavior you want to gossip about, also pray for God to shut your mouth and second is to bite your tongue whenever you feel the urge to gossip or speaking ill of others.

Closing Quote: Gossip is a twin sister of Lie, “Gossiping and lying go hand in hand.” ~ Proverb.

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.

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
