God bless the weary and the weak....

I used to know where my life was headed, what I wanted to do everyday. It was calmer, more clear. I was in charge of my destiny, I had clearer goals. Until they came.

Some people you give your time, effort and attention to make them feel good or to help them with whatever they are going through. But in their own wallow negativity, they do emphasize on the cliche "misery loves company". As if you owe them your life just because you gave them special attention, they become more clingy and nasty towards you. Such vexations really drive you mad. How can some people not lift their own spirits for their own sake? What is more baffling is why do I keep bumping into such people? They wear me out and yet they make me feel like I have to be there for them when in truth I do not really have to care at all. They pretend as if they have all the problems in the world. They do not know other people have worse problems. I wonder how long such people would ever learn to talk to themselves positively other than just go to the corner and beat themselves up with what they are going through.

Does worrying ever solve your problems? Does being mad fulfill your goals? Does being pathetic ever get anyone anywhere?

What used to work for me when I have issues are these verses from the Bible:

Mat 6:26
Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?

Mat 6:27
Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?

Mat 6:28
And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

Mat 6:29
And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

Mat 6:30
Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, [shall he] not much more [clothe] you, O ye of little faith?

Mat 6:31
Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

Mat 6:32
(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

Mat 6:33
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Mat 6:34
Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day [is] the evil thereof.

Have a nice day. Vaya con Dios.
