If you trust in your soul and heart, you will have an invencible friend.
The Book of Ephesians 5:9 says:
"For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth."
Our inner world is more powerful than our body.
Inside
If we give much importance to our look, we may become proud of ourselves and critical toward others. The Book of Mark 7:15 says:
"There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man".
What really counts and matter is the things on the inside: attitudes, behaviours, feelings and thoughts. We ought to keep from bitternes and judgemental attitudes.

Be sincere and honest
We may think that only an outright lie is deplorable, but even a cover-up or a slight lie is regrettable.
The Book of Proverbs 25: 14 says:
"Whoever boasts himself of a false gift is like clouds and wind without rain".
Let's make sincerity and honesty a daily-basis habit.

inner world
We may have a lot of things to do not only at home, but also at work or university. But we ought to bear in mind our inner world too, whether you name it soul, spirit, heart, feelings or conscious.
The Book of Galatians 5: 22-23 says:
"the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance"
It is good to work out our body, but it is also important to develop our inner world.

listen and ask
If you happen to witness a discussion between two or more people, the first thing you ought to do is take time to investigate the facts and listen to all sides of the matter. That will help you avoid wrong conclusions.
The Book of Deuteronomy 13: 12-14 says:
If thou shalt hear say in one of thy cities, which the LORD thy God hath given thee to dwell there, saying, Certain men, the children of Belial, are gone out from among you, and have withdrawn the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which ye have not known; Then shalt thou inquire, and make search, and ask diligently.
The value of listening is not nearly as great as the value of jumping to wrong conlusions, which is one of the greatest of all dangers. So, listen and ask, always.

No complain
It is easy to complain. However, it is a challenge to live complaint-free lives.
As Philippians says in 2:14:
"Do all things without murmurings (complaining) and disputings"
Live above and beyond complaint.
As Philippians says in 2:14:
"Do all things without murmurings (complaining) and disputings"
Live above and beyond complaint.
truth
When we say something or talk to other people, we ought to avoid criticism as well as flattery. Rather, "Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another...Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers." Ephesians 4: 25, 29
We better think; then, we may speak.
We better think; then, we may speak.
We all have bad days or go through confusing circumstances, but if we look for help and trust someone, we may likely find relief and peace of soul and mind. As The Book of Luke says in 1: 78-79:
"the dayspring from on high has visited us, to give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death".
We all need somebody to listen and to be listened, this is a truth nobody can deny.
"the dayspring from on high has visited us, to give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death".

Hotel California song
Hotel California
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dimmer
I had to stop for the night.
There she stood in the doorway;
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself
'This could be heaven or this could be Hell'
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor,I thought I heard them say...
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face.
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year (any time of year) you can find it here
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
So I called up the Captain,'Please bring me my wine'
He said, 'we haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty-nine'
And still those voices are calling from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say...
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face.They livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise), bring your alibis
Mirrors on the ceiling,The pink champagne on ice
And she said, 'we are all just prisoners here, of our own device'
And in the master's chambers,They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives,
But they just can't kill the beast
Last thing I remember, I was Running for the door
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
'Relax' said the night man,
'We are programmed to receive.
You can check out any time you like,
But you can never leave!
i always wonder what was the meaning of this song. Does it have something to do with life after death, the Heaven or Hell?
Does it have something to do with religion? I am open to any kind of creed or religion, so if you know about other faith other than Christian, just let me know what you know.
