Is it expect nothing and you will never be disappointed or expect nothing and get nothing?

Is it expect nothing and you will never be disappointed or expect nothing and get nothing? I feel that if you expect nothing so you will never be disappointed not only are you blocking bad things but you are also blocking yourself from any good that you might be in for. Some definitions for insanity is senselessness and foolhardiness. My father once told me that the definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over again expecting a different outcome. I think that defines a lot of people today. They do the same things over and over (their way) and think in some miraculous way that the out come is going to change. They hang with the same people who have done them wrong, they look for the same type of man that has broke their heart & they have the same type of thinking that has gotten them to the same place time after time. When you stop yourself from feeling you are stopping all feelings and some of them are to good to let pass. So I guess I am saying i f you expect nothing you get nothing. You have to speak things into existence. Be careful what you think/say because someone is always listening; YOU! Expect the best for yourself, You should use your better judgement, if you feel like your life just can't get right look at your surroundings. What is most important to you and to those in your circle? It may be time to clean out your closet!

Reason Season or Lifetime?

It is said that everything happens for a reason, season or a lifetime.. Look at your life and think of the people in your circle and figure out where they belong. When people come in your life for a reason they are sometimes there just to teach us things about ourselves. They are there to fill some kind of void we are lacking whether it is physical or emotional . We feel as if they came right on time. Then for whatever reason the friendship ends, they may do something wrong to you, they may pass away, or they may push you to your limit. What you must come to terms with is that their job is done, they have served their purpose, your prayer has been answered and we must go on. Some people come into you life for a season it may be a time for you to share, to learn or to grow. It may be time for you to learn something about yourself, you may need laughter despite what you are going through. But just like Summer turns to Fall this season will come to a end also. Lifetime relationships are built to last, they teach you life lessons that you build your foundation around. Regardless of the friction you and that person may have you get through it, accept the lesson and it makes you stronger. You take the lessons learned and apply it to your daily life. So look at your life; is that person here for a reason, season or a lifetime?

LIFE....IT'S A OCEAN AND YOU'RE AN OYSTER

A pearl is made when a tiny grain of sand or piece of dirt gets inside the shell of an oyster. That creature’s way of dealing with an irritation is to coat it over, over and over, until it becomes a smooth thing of deep beauty. Much like the oyster, I too must manage life’s irritants, those things that get into my shell. And, like the oyster, I have to work at dealing with those irritants, I must pray, I must praise the Lord in the midst of the storm and above all I must still act God-like. A geniune pearl is a product of suffering a grain of sand that becomes a thing of beauty. The work is done gradually and slowly, just as with the Lord, He has worked on me gradually over the years. I am still a work in progress but with each trial and tribulation just like a pearl I can see the change in myself. Like people, no 2 pearls are exactly alike. None are perfectly formed, but each is a thing of beauty on its own..With so many changes in life, there are so many chances to change. You can choose to see more sand to deal with, or you can see a chance to make a pearl...
