To live your life Again

    Have you ever thought of " if given a chance,, how would I want to live my life again?" For us who are young and just starting out on our career, family, business. Our chances of how we want to live our life all over again is quite possible, but for the people who are almost reaching the Senior Citizen stage, it got them thinking on how they have wanted if given a chance.

I am sharing another entry from Harold J Sala's "Just for Today", about this question, "If you could live your life all over again, what would you do differently? It got me thinking that as for me, I could still change many things or try to get out of my comfort zone and go for an adventure. Based on the wirter Tony Campolo on his book "Who switched Price Tags?" the author conducted a survey asking the question if you could live your life all over again, what would you do differently to people who are age over 95.
   Most of them wished that they have risked more, since for them they felt that life for is too safe for them and too calculated.They wonder what adventures they missed because they were too fearful of leaving security. If we are open to try new things, then we would also have new learnings, wherther its a failure or success in the end, at least in our lifetime, we would have lesser regrets.

 Some wished they should have concentrated more on what was really important. Life had been filled with details of the routine.A routinary life is not just plain boring, but it also gives us another wasted day. I know most of our work are really routinary, but sometimes we must remind ourselves to go try something else after work.

The 3rd category of people express the wish they had done something worthwhile that would live on long after they died. Inspiring others is something worthwhile to do, or doing charity work or giving time and help the needy people somehow makes us feel that we are doing something worthwhile. Aside from that, we should always remember to give more time to talk to God and thank Him for all the blessings He had showered upon us.

  Whats done is done, but God has given us another day to correct our mistakes, its never too late to go on an adventure, do the things that makes us happy and do something worthwhile. Its never too late to begin anew.

"Show me O Lord, my life's end and the number of my days; let me know how fleeting is my life- Psalms 39:4

How to have Peace in our lives...

   I was reading a book that a friend gave me as a birthday present last January. It was just last month that I was getting serious at reading it. It was a book somehow similar to Our Daily Bread.. which means that its an everyday thing to read the book with different stories and bible verses to read. Today, I had stumble upon this June 30 entry of the book "Just for today" Guidelines for living by Harold Sala.

"What most people look for but are unsure to obtain, is peace." the author had put 3 guidelines in attaining peace which is different from turmoil.

Guideline #1: Stop playing the "Blame Game". It produces anger, irritation and turmoil. We are often caught on this, since to somehow comfort ourselves and create the feeling of peace, we blame others on what had happened or on how we felt about a situation that we had encountered. Its not good to do this simply because we are creating conflicts with others instead of attaining peace for ourselves.

Guideline #2: Get your relationship right with God. When your life is filled with bitterness, not much peace can fill your heart. Praying and talking to God about how we feel and completely surrender it to Him will really give us peace. As Jesus was talking to His disciples, He said "Peace I live you; my peace I give you.

Guideline #3: Life is too short to live with broken relationships. You will be amazed how different you feel when you would make peace with some of the people who had not brought peace to you. I know its one of the hardest thing to do. But somehow, doing it would bring peace to your life, then pray and ask God for strength in doing this.

-Today can be the best day of your life.
