Rise Up

Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.

— Ralph Waldo Emerson —

 

2016 is the year of “Making the Most of Ourselves.”

Emerson’s quote is so powerful.

It is impossible to make the most of ourselves if we always have our defenses up and are unwilling to handle critique and criticism.

When someone contradicts you or doesn’t agree with you, you have a choice of playing the victim or the victor role.

It is impossible to make the most of yourself if you are playing the victim role.

Play offense and not defense when it comes to playing your life.

P.E.A.C.E.

James 2:13, “Talk and act like a person expecting to be judged by the Rule (love) that sets us free. For if you refuse to act kindly, you can hardly expect to be treated kindly, Kind mercy wins over harsh judgment every time.
