Life Is A Theatre





Life is a theatre. Invite your audience carefully. Not everyone is spiritual or emotionally healthly enough to have a Front row seat in our lives. There are some people in your life that are best loved from a Distance.

It's amazing what you can accomplish when you let go, or at least minimize, your time with draining, negative, incompatible, not-going-anywhere relationships/friendships.

Observe the relationships around you. Pay attention. Which ones lift and which ones lean? Which one encourage and which ones discourage? Which ones are on a path of growth uphill and which ones are going downhill? When you leave certain people, do you feel better or feel worse? Which ones always have drama, or don't really understand, know or appreciate you?

The more you seek quality, respect, growth, peace of mind, love and truth around you, the easier it will become for you to decide who gets to sit in the Front Row and who should be moved to the balcony of Your Life. You cannot change the people around you, but you can Change the people you are around.

The people we hang with will have an impact on our lives, so we must be careful to choose the right people we hang out with; as well as the information with which we feed our minds. We should not share our dreams or thoughts with negative people.

It's your choice and your life; but it is up to you who and what you let in it!

Ask God for wisdom, and seek His Face to help you choose the right people who sit in the front row of your life. Let your Haters be your motivators (but let them do it from afar).

LIFE IS A THEATRE, INVITE YOUR AUDIENCE CAREFULLY!!!

Curve Balls

Life ever throw you a curve ball?
The curveball is a breaking pitch in baseball thrown with a grip and hand movement that imparts down and/or sideways spin to the ball. The movement of a curveball is to deceive the batter. Ideally, a curveball will have its greatest break just as it reaches the plate and cause the batter to swing above it.

Curveball is a manual for people who face life-altering challenges,and is also proof that one need not fight such battles alone. Life throws curve balls at you all the time, which seem to be coming from all angles. When life throws you a curveball hold your ground and keep your eye on the ball!

When life throws you a curve ball something happens that you would never have expected. It may be that it is not the curveball itself that surprises us,but it is the disappointment from our expectations not being fulfilled. I guess that is the whole point of calling the "unexpected" a curve ball.

There are countless moments in everyday life when our thoughts are infused with the energy of fear or failure, shame, catastrophe, which makes it hard for us to be our selves. We face the possibility of our own personal "hanging curveball."

Our bodies respond to fearful thoughts the same way as if the events were actually taking place in the moment. The stress response further muddles our actions. We want to be prepared for any of those curveballs life might throw.
