Wealth
Do not become blind by the purse of richness of money. Try to be rich in your soul too.
The Book of Luke 12:15 says:
"Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man´s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth".
You will not take material things when you leave this life.

Blessing
My grandfather taught me that you should not end the day without talking about your differences with anybody else so you can go to bed in peace.
The Book of Peter 3: 8-9 says: "Be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethen, be pitiful, be courteous: Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing".
Even without a word you can hurt or make happy anyone else.

Carpe diem
Life is not a destination, it is just a journey, which lasts a blink of an eye. So seize the day.
The Book of James 4:14 says:
"Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away".

Love others
Our self-esteem would be even greater if we share our feelings with other people.
The Book of Matthew 7:12 says:
"Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye so do to them: for this is the law and prophets".
The best way to keep from selfishness is love.

Patience
If you are in a hurry, just stop, take a deep breath and you will feel better.

You wouldn´t get anywhere unless you are patient.

Worth
Do not make material things your priority in life. Rather, keep your mind and soul growing.

"And having food and raiment let us be therewith content."
One way to feel happiness is being satisfied with what we have.

Respect
Each one of us is special and important so all deserve good treatment.
The Book of Hebrews 10: 24 says:
"And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works"
This is true eventhough time changes "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you".

Self-control
Are you wise enough to find the perfect balance between our physical and spiritual needs?

"Now no chastening for the present seems to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby."

Slow down
There is no doubt that most of us are in a hurry every day, and that may lead us to anxious and stressful thoughts.In that case, just slow down your path, and stop for a moment to contemplate your surrounding.
The Book of Mattew 6:26 says:
"Behold the fowls of the air..."
We can find peace of mind and soul if we just take a moment for ourselves.

"Behold the fowls of the air..."
We can find peace of mind and soul if we just take a moment for ourselves.
Humble
We may have almost everything and we should think that we know more than anyone else, but keep yourself from pride, because there should always be someone wiser, richer and better than we.
The Book of Psalms 36:11 says:
"Let not the foot of pride come against me".
Humility of thought and behaviour will eventually open us more doors than pride.

Soul
If you trust in your soul and heart, you will have an invencible friend.

"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.

"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.

"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.
