Done on purpose, deliberate.

Live intentionally.

Are you expecting good things?

Most of the time we expect things that are good, but sometimes, people who worry expect the bad.

This month let’s focus on the positive expectations.  Look for the small things.

They will happen.

I learned something this week as I was waiting on the train that takes me to work.

The train I was waiting on was about three blocks away. I could see it sitting at the station. It was late, but not moving.

After a few minutes of frustration, I asked out loud, “Why is it just sitting there?”

Another person waiting responded to me.

“It can’t come here until the southbound train gets here.”

Looking southward, there weren’t even lights heading in our direction.

“Really?” I asked.

“Yes,” they said.

True enough, once the southbound train got to our station, the one I was waiting on left the other station heading our way.

This caused me to think.

Some of us are waiting on things to happen in our lives and are growing frustrated because they are not.

PERHAPS there is a series of things that need to happen that do not have anything to do with you.

Maybe you need to ask the question of why you are still waiting.

Maybe you need to realize that some times it has nothing to do with you.

Maybe you wait patiently until it is your time.

Manage your frustration. Don’t give up. Trust God’s timing. He is always right on time.

Planned Interruption.

Some days you need to plan the interruption. In the middle of your list, throw something in there that interrupts the flow of things. Maybe it will take you off the beaten path. Maybe it will give you new ideas that rejuvenate you. Maybe it will just give you a break from your ordinary routine.

Learn to embrace the interruptions.
