Mind your own business !


In life there are three businesses:

1) My Business

2) God's Business

3) Your Business


I cannot control number 2 - that will go on regardless of what I think or say....

And I cannot really control number 3 either - even though I would like to ...

So really what I need to do in order to be happy and at peace is concentrate on number 1.


You see it is not what the problem is in life that matters it is how I approach it.

Every 'problem' is an opportunity to grow and seek out a personal challenge.

However what tends to happen is that we think by controlling number 3 we will sort out our problems.

BIG MISTAKE !

I cannot change someone no matter how hard I may try or get upset.

I can only act in the right way myself.

One way of doing this is to recognise how I might have contributed to the problem.

Hard to believe I know but as they say it takes two to tango.




What could I have done differently?

How could I have helped clear some channels of communication?

What qualities do I see in the other person which I refuse to see in myself?

So the solution with our problems starts with us.

Are you ready for a closer inspection?
