Napkin notes

[Michael Quarles]

A friend sends these to me every morning. Some are spot on real estate.

Good Morning,

When God looks at you He says, "I accept you for who you are, as you are." God loves you unconditionally. Do you love yourself and others unconditionally? Do you frequently judge others and compare others to yourself? Judging someone else is usually a default for a dissatisfaction in yourself. In John 7:24, Jesus says, "Stop judging by mere appearances." Listen to your thoughts and the words you speak. Your thoughts and your words are a choice. Your greatest weapon against stress is your ability to choose how you perceive and receive your surroundings. Don't get so caught up in life. Life is a blink. Everyone is learning as they go. Everything will be all right in the end, because the end is a beautiful beginning into eternity. So relax more, love more, laugh more, and be more grateful and less judgmental. Don't wish so much for what you don't have, be more thankful for what you do have. Focus on yourself not on others. Proverbs 24:23 says, "To show partiality in judging is not good." Focus your attention on your intention. Walk lighter through your day, judge less, be happier and enjoy the short time that you are here.

Have a blessed day!
