Before it's too late

Life is too short to leave important words unsaid. We rush through life working and tackling day-to-day concerns, but often forget to stop ourselves to connect with those we love. The permanent residents of our hearts deserve to know the depth of our love and appreciation for them. Our best friends, siblings, parents and spouses walk with us on our journey through life. Yet, when asked, one of the things that people on their deathbeds regret the most is not expressing their emotions--not telling those they loved how much they meant to them.

The hard-won knowledge ensures that we will take our time when making important decisions in the future. Realize that you have the power to change anything that robs you of your peace. N...

Living without regrets

Have you ever found yourself mulling over mistakes of the past? Is there a decision you have recently made that you now regret? Are there people you admire who seem to never be “down and out” and always have a smile on their face? Everybody makes mistakes but that doesn’t mean you should be dwelling on them. You can’t be happy while carrying around regret and the key to living your life without regret is to live according to your chosen life path, your destiny. “How do I figure out my life path?” The answer may not be easy to find. You may need to take some time to figure out what you want to do. That is okay! Just remember that the answer comes from within. T.D Jakes points out that we need to take the time to get to know ourselves. God already has a purpose for you but you must remain faithful. Life is about being on a journey. It is not about the destination. It’s about where you are going. T.D Jakes speaks about us not limiting ourselv...
