TUESDAY'S TO DOn't LIST

Consider the consequences of the negative "TO-Don'ts" on your list if they become your "DOs."

Switch your thinking. Realize that ultimately you control very few of the circumstances/happenings which life throws your way and you have no control over the responses of others. 
Re-consider those negatives......1) excessive planning, 2) fretting & complaining 3) comparing         4) excessive talking, self-promoting.
.......with a positive focus accepting that the "best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry." (R. Burns, to A Mouse")
To end on a more positive note...here are some "DOs" to counteract those DOnt's."
  1. Allow the Lord to direct your steps. (Proverbs 3:6) 
  2. Give thanks in everything. (1 Thessalonians 5:18) 
  3. Accept self as God created you. (Psalm 139:14) 
  4. Be quick to listen, listen, listen. (James 1:19)
  5. In humility consider others more important than yourself. (Philippians 2:3)

DO remember that you are not in control! The most positive result is remembering Who is ultimately in control of all of life.
