Life Experiences

Do you have issues trusting other people? Are you positive that the only one you can count on 100% is yourself? Some people argue that you have to trust other people in order to live a happy, fulfilling life. While that may be true to a certain extent because you can’t shut everyone out, you can’t overlook the importance of trusting yourself first and foremost. So often we get sidelined by others. They mislead us, whether intentionally or not, and cause us to go down the wrong path. Before we know it, we’re in the middle of something we swore we’d never do, wondering how we got there. While clearly not everyone has ulterior motives, the problem comes in when we don’t listen to and trust ourselves from the beginning. So, how do you do that? Know yourself intimately. Understand how you think and feel so that you know when you’re at risk of making a bad decision. You can do this a number of ways. You can: Make lists. Write down your strengths, weaknesses, triggers, thoughts a

It's a pessimistic outlook. Perhaps it's also a simple, individualistic and somewhat paranoid outlook. The reverse might be "trust everyone", which is almost as exaggerated. Sadly, even though most people perform better in a trusting, open environment, most social contexts have varying degrees of distrust and you can expect a great deal of backstabbing, sabotage, gossip and power struggles in nearly every power-hierarchy-based structure/organisation, and oftentimes even in those contexts in which there's theoretically no such hierarchy. Here's my own perspective: "Trust anyone to be what they are, according to their nature" This might mean that you'd have to get an idea about how and what people are, on a case-to-case basis. This is both time consuming and an effort on your part. If you are good at it, you will trust people and find them predictable in their behaviour and motivation. You will be able to trust criminals to be what they a

It's one thing to profess the faith and another thing to live it out. So live more of reconciliation, love, forgiveness, kindness etc the fruit of the spirit. You call yourself a Christian, what does it mean if your values are contrary to the faith you profess. So what's the point of proclaiming that you are a believer if you are betraying that Faith by the way you live your lifestyle. #Q-experience_exhortor

What is anxiety?   The words “worry” and “anxious” are often used interchangeably. While the words are definitely related, psychologists define worry and anxiety differently. The symptoms of worry show in the brain differently than the symptoms of anxiety. Worry is short-lived concerned about a particular situation. Anxiety is a constant feeling of stress, unease, or worry. Worry is momentary, where as anxiety is often long lasting. Anxiety can be defined as awareness working against you. It’s an intense awareness of what  could  go wrong or what  is  going wrong. Anxiety is never founded in truth or reality; it's a fear that sinks in as you become aware of all the possibilities of what's "wrong". The devil uses anxiety to cloud our minds to believe that everything that could go wrong will. In Philippians, we see that Paul is encouraging the church to not be anxious; but to bring our anxieties to God. He shows us that when we do this, the peace of God will guar
